We never pray for health
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
We never pray for health: we become still; we rest in this prayer of the Soul while we nestle in Its warmth and watch as the health appears or the opportunities unfold.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
Then our way will be made harmonious
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
God is the only power. Therefore, I shall not fear what mortal man can do to me. I shall not fear germs, infection, or contagion, nor shall I fear the governments of man. Only one thing is power, the Infinite Invisible. If we can hold to that, our way will be made harmonious.

The battle is not yours
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
“The battle is not yours, but God’s... Stand ye still”; there is but one Power.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
God is not over error
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
Watch the miracle when we give up believing in God over error of Love over hate and accept wholeheartedly the principle of one power. Watch the miracle that comes into our lives when we stop defending ourselves against shadows on the wall - nothingness - when we stop fighting the errors of the world, the tyrants and the power of the world.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
Man is not a creator
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
In the end it must be recognized that man is not a creator. He may be the instrument through which the creative Principle functions, but he, himself, is not a creator.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
To give a child a fight sense of security
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
To give a child a fight sense of security, he should be taught that God is indestructible life and intelligence, and that he will always be led in the right way and into the right places. God is the life and the Soul of everybody he meets; and, therefore, no matter whom he meets, he is meeting God. He is always under God’s protection and guided by God’s wisdom.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
Protective prayer
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
Protective prayer consists in knowing that no one has a selfhood apart from God; no one has any mind, life, Soul, Spirit, any being, or any body other that God’s. Protection lies in understanding that God is the life, intelligence, Soul, Spirit, immortality, and eternality of every individual on earth.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
God doesn’t protect us
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
We cannot use God to protect us from an accident or from anything else, but we can come into the awareness of God as our being, and, in that being, we shall find no accidents of any kind.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
We are never “in” a vehicle
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
We are never “in” a ship, “on” an airplane, or “in” an automobile: The ship, the airplane, or the automobile is “in” us - in our consciousness.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
That must be taken literally
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
Do we need God and cement, too? Have not some of us proved over and over again that we do not need God and medicine, and have not many proved that they do not need God and stone fortresses? God is our fortress, but that must be taken literally. God is a Spirit; God is infinite; and our life is hid with Christ in God.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
Watch the miracle as your mind gives up the struggle
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
Watch the miracle as your mind gives up the struggle to create, to increase, to heal, to save, or to redeem. Watch the miracle that takes place in your life as you learn to relax in the realization that the infinite nature of God makes God the only Is, and that even the forms as which God appears must be infinite.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
Don’t struggle - let it flow
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
You must not try to get; you must not try to have; you must not try to draw to you; You must learn how to let Infinity flow out from you.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
Failure may prove a blessing
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
Failure may prove a blessing if you have the vision to turn to the next thing instead of staying in the rut where you have remained due to some temporary success.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
Don’t sit idly waiting for harmony
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
The demonstration of harmony is not something for which you can sit idly by and wait: You must do something specific about it, and that something is to maintain the truth of being as the activity of your consciousness.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
The sense of peace is the healer
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
The sense of peace that comes to you - the peace that passes understanding - is the healer. When you attain that, healing takes places. It is the awareness of God that does the healing.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
There is nothing to battle
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
Until you can realize that there is nothing to battle because there is only one power, you will be carrying a chip on your shoulders, everlastingly fighting people, sin, disease, false appetite, lonesomeness, and poverty. One condition after another will arise in your experience as long as you are fighting and resisting.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
The kingdom of heaven can only be experienced now
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
The kingdom of heaven is a state of grace which can only be experienced now.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
This is the nature of spiritual healing
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
This is the nature of spiritual healing. Whether you are struggling with some form of sin, false appetite, disease, poverty, unemployment, or unhappiness, stop struggling and wake up. Wake up to your true identity.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
He dies to his humanhood
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
In this awakening process, he dies to his humanhood that he may be reborn of the Spirit.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
Give up using mental power
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
As you learn to give up using mental power - striving to accomplish something with truth, or attempting to make a powerhouse out of the human mind - and become still and receptive until the Word begins to flow, you will know the meaning of harmony and of infinity.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
Appearances of ignorance, lies, discords...
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
There is no law of darkness because you know that darkness can be dispelled by the presence of light. Yet in the absence of light, darkness would claim presence; and just so in the absence of truth in your consciousness, ignorance, lies, appearances, discords, and inharmony claim to be present.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
Do we live as if we really believed?
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
Do we live as if we really believed that the place whereon we stand is holy ground, that right here and now the presence and power of God envelops me and mine? Do we live form early morning until late at night in the conviction that God is directing our path? Do we live and move and have our being in the attitude of listening for God’s direction, for God’s guidance and protection? Are we living and moving and having our being in the realization that underneath are the everlasting arms?
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
The demonstration of harmony

The demonstration of harmony is not something for which you can sit idly by and wait: You must do something specific about it, and that something is to maintain the truth of being as the activity of your consciousness.

Condemning and punishing is no way to bring out the good in people
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
If you have had any experience at all with pets or with children, you must certainly know that condemning and punishing them and telling them how had they are, or how naughty or wicked, is no way to bring out the good in them. That is no way to bring out the good in anyone or anything. The way to bring out good in a child or an animal, or a flower or any growing thing is to love it, to bless it, to realize that God is the very essence of its being and that God constitutes its nature.
words by Joel S. Goldsmith
 
Only you can give yourself the evidence of existence of Infinity
added by: admin   from: The Art of Spiritual Healing
If you are not the recipient of the bounty of Infinity, it is not because Infinity is absent: It is because of your lack of awareness of Infinity.
