Think of the discoveries and inventions of past centuries, and then remember that an entire century is of no more importance or significance in the mind of God than is one grain of sand on all the beaches of the world. Think of what is yet to be revealed! Think of the marvels which already exist and have existed since time began, only awaiting to be revealed!

A Parenthesis in Eternity
Success = Truth shocking GR
Whether then or now — north, south, east, or west, the world needs help. It’s full of people who are mentally attacking others and don’t even know that they’re attacking — they just think they’re right, or cool , or some kind of a victim.
.
Success in the world is about getting a lot of heads wagging in agreement, but the truth doesn’t get people’s heads wagging; it shocks them — or at least gets them questioning a lot of things.

Universe not evolving into perfection GR
You think the universe is evolving into perfection. That idea is false. The universe is set up to look like it’s doing that, but it’s really just spinning its wheels —repeating the same patterns over and over in different forms. It’s a trick you’ll catch on to. The difference between your mistakes and the mistakes of enlightened Beings rests in their ability to practice true forgiveness. They realize that if the mistakes of others should be forgiven immediately, then so should theirs. They also know it doesn’t really matter what they do, but few people are ready to accept that. Most carry their mistakes and their guilt with them for eons, but there is no need for that.

No need to heal world JSG
In healing work, we must turn from the structural universe which we see. We must remember that we are not called upon to heal it, change it, alter it, correct it, or save it. We are first of all to realize that it exists only as illusion, as the false sense of life. From this vantage point in consciousness, we behold through spiritual sense the “house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”

ACIM & JSG no Conflict RJS
A relatively brief perusal of the teachings of Joel Goldsmith AND a cursory treatment of A Course in Miracles SHOULD at best suggest a CONFLICT.
There is a glorious journey ahead, however, that the sincere seeker of Truth can anticipate. I find both JSG and ACIM true to a fault: there’s no conflict whatsoever. It’s a bit like approaching blindfolded the proverbial elephant from different positions and discovering it in its entirety.
Language doesn’t have to be daunting either once you have determined to go the distance, especially knowing in advance that one or the other or both will surely take you to the enlightenment – or at least the very beginning of it – that you crave.

Come to Christ to be cleansed
When you come to the Christ, come with a sincere desire to be cleansed within. You are not merely coming to a teaching from which you expect to receive more or better human conditions.
You are not merely seeking to have your human existence made easier, healthier or even a bit longer — but you really are asking to be lifted entirely above the human level of life to an awareness and demonstration of Life eternal — the spiritual consciousness of Life and its harmonies.
Do not then hold on to the personal sense of good that has so long obstructed your vision of the Christ. Be willing; be prepared for the Christ to dispel all personal sense — even that which is humanly good.

Reasons for No Details of Problems JSG
NO PERSONAL STORIES, NO DETAILS, NO PERSONALITIES, JUST HEALING
●○●○●○●○●○
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.

God Revealing the Infinity of Being
You & Jesus = same thing GR
He [Jesus] treated everyone equally, from rabbi to prostitute. He was not a body. He was no longer a human being. He had passed through the eye of the needle. He had reclaimed his place with God as pure spirit. This is pure non-dualism: an attitude that, along with the Holy Spirit, will lead you to what you are. You and J[esus] are the same thing. We all are.

Soul is higher than plane of body & mind JSG
Higher even than the plane of body and mind, there is the realm of Soul, the kingdom of God. Here we find the reality of our being, our divine nature – not that body and mind are separate or apart from Soul, but that Soul is the deepest recess of our being. In the realm of Soul, we find complete tranquility, absolute peace, harmony, and dominion. Here we find neither good nor evil, pain nor pleasure – only the joy of being. We are in the world, but not of it because we no longer see the world of sense as it appears to be but, having awakened our spiritual sense, we “see him as he is” – we see through appearances to the Real.

Don’t avoid Inharmonies JSG
To those unfolding on the spiritual path, come the discordant experiences of human life, until the transition from “this world” has been completely accomplished.
The desire is to avoid or escape these inharmonies of mind, body, or economic affairs – but this cannot be done, since the discords result solely from the battle with Spirit and “the flesh,” that is, with spiritual consciousness and material sense.
To those on the way, harmony in human affairs often is a lack of spiritual awakening; and, therefore, when the battle, leading to the overcoming of “this world” is on, the initiate will remain as quiet as possible under the adverse circumstances, endeavoring to refrain from fighting erroneous conditions and insofar as possible “letting” the warfare go on until the moment of transition arrives.
When your spiritual study is sincere, the breaking-up of your material world –the desertion of friends, students, or family, a change of health or other outer activity — often ushers in the spiritual transition, or rebirth. This is the attainment of that which you have sought. A tremendous movement is taking place as the initiate discerns the difference between physical harmony and spiritual wholeness.
