Consciousness Unfolding: God Revealing the Infinity of Being
Now I want to explain one reason why we never treat a person, why we never give a treatment to any person. If anything in my writings has led to the belief that I would ever give a treatment to any person, let me correct that concept now. ..I have never given a treatment to anyone, and I have never directed my thought to a person. I have never addressed the individual consciousness of any person.
Never have I said, “You are spiritual; you are perfect; you are God’s child.” Never have I allowed the name of a patient to come into my thought while I was “treating.” Never have I allowed the face, or thought, or outline of any face or body, to come into my treatment. I do not, I cannot, give a treatment until the person asking for help is completely out of my thoughts.
My treatment is based on lifting thought up to God and on eliminating any sense of person. I jump, as fast as I know how, up to the word God: I lift my thought over the person’s head, not because God is up there, but because for me it eliminates personality and person, and then I am in God. Then I come out from God, and let flow out whatever truth I know about God-all the truth I know about God. I never connect it with any individual.
And the reason is this: God is the only individual in the world. God is infinite individuality; God is the only place, the only person, the only power. God is the only reality.
If I turned away from God, I would be treating an illusion.
Healing comes the moment we have God alone as all—God as mind as form.
Lay belief down; put belief’s convictions to rest forevermore. Free of the grip of belief, fill your awareness with the things of God, spirit and truth.
Spiritualize your awareness.
Use your thought as it is supposed to be used, to gently and joyously ponder the things of heaven.
You then quickly witness the wonder of health, love, prosperity, and freedom emerge through the dissipating fog of hypnotism.
HOW TO BE SURE TO STAY FRESH, HUMBLE AND EFFECTIVE IN MEDITATING

It requires boldness and daring to release God, to acknowledge that we do not know God and that we do not know how to pray. It takes courage to be done with the old and to seek the new, to prove that we can live as children of God, as the very temple of God, glorifying Him.
The belief in two powers is what traps us into
vacillating between the pairs of opposites,
harmony and discord, poverty and abundance,
life and death, sickness and health …
there is no good and there is no evil in any form …
this truth frees us and brings the peace that passes understanding.
The only devil is the knowledge of good and evil.
To be rid of the pairs of opposites,
we must stop the merry-go-round of the human mind,
and that actually is not as difficult or as impractical as it sounds.
I have been asked many times, “How do you stop thinking?”
And I have found one way.
The minute I can look at any person or condition
and know that it is neither good nor evil,
my thought stops and my mind becomes quiet.
That is the end of it because then
there are no thoughts left for me to think about it.
I do not think good of it and I do not think evil of it.
All I know is that it is, and then I am back at the center of my being where all power is.
Our mind is restless only when we are thinking about things or persons either in terms of good or evil,
but the mind is at rest when we surrender all such concepts.
WHETHER YOU LOVE DONALD TRUMP or not, there’s a great deal you can do to benefit this country and the world: ‘see’ him (‘see’ being an Action Verb), really, really ‘see’ him as the perfect image and likeness of God – not for a few minutes, but for always!
Hey, I said absolutely nothing about what I think he should do or not do, but I can promise you that your own spiritual contribution will help everyone immensely: SEE DONALD TRUMP AS GOD SEES HIM – AND DON’T STOP !!
Joel must’ve been reading my diary except for three things:
• He wouldn’t know where it was.
• He passed on 50+ years ago.
• I don’t have a diary.
He said that very serious seekers of higher level consciousness often have some unhealed issues and that he was glad for his own unhealed issues coz they kept him on track.
Can you imagine that – Joel Goldsmith going off track?
I never could have imagined it until I thought of yours truly – me. I’ve been glued to the grindstone all my life. Oh, I’ve done stuff but could never go astray very much. Joel said for him being 80% was perfect.
His 80% has blessed the world beyond belief.
I myself am quite content at 70% – that’s about how much I’d trust my ‘self’.

But, be ready. An internal argument begins to rage as soon as we open ourselves spiritually. “If all is spirit, therefore harmonious and good, and if spirit heals false experience, why is my disease or pain or fear or lack or insecurity not yielding?”
The answer is that, for a short period, belief and its pictures of sense still grip us. We still believe that there is God and “this world.” Our remaining belief out-pictures itself as seemingly real condition.
The battle within and without ceases as we lift higher into the realization of God alone.
“Spiritual power never operates for your good or my good; it cannot be used; it cannot be channeled or directed. There is no way of praying for your particular good or mine because in the eyes of God there is no “you” or “me” separate from all the other children of God. There would be no way to gain God’s grace for you or for me or to direct God’s presence or power to this individual or that individual. This is a personalized concept of Deity that has wrecked the religions of the world and has made prayer as ordinarily practiced ineffectual.”
“Only when God is understood to be a presence and power universally and equally available to all, only in that consciousness in which we do not see each other as separate and apart from the divine Being, can spiritual power flow. If we were to sit quietly, recognizing the invisible presence and power of God permeating all being, anyone who is receptive and in tune with divine love would receive blessings and benediction, Grace in some form or other. It might be as comfort, as peace, as greater health, or as some form of greater abundance, but it would happen; whereas, if an individual were to try to direct God’s grace to someone, he would be outside the realm of spiritual power, and he would fail.”
