Monthly World Work Recordings

Joel gave several beautiful classes on world work and on topics related to world work.  Since Joel’s recordings are still under copy protection, we have obtained permission to post these recordings for your online or telephone listening.  Each recording will be available for listening at any time for one month after it is posted.  There is a list of previously posted recordings at the bottom of this page.

To hear the recording by telephone, call
1-641-715-3900, and enter the extension number 828754, followed by the pound sign (#).  After you enter the extension number, the introduction to the recording will begin, followed by the recording itself.  The telephone number and the extension number will always be the same, even as we change the recording each month.  Depending on your telephone calling plan, the call may or may not incur a charge, so it is a good idea to check whether your plan covers calls to the 641 area code.  Even if you usually participate in the tape group by computer, the telephone option is convenient when you would like to listen to the recording but for some reason do not have access to your computer.

Preview of the Class

In describing the three world work meditations, Joel tells us to “feel a consciousness of God’s presence,” and to realize that this Presence is dispelling material sense in human consciousness and opening human consciousness to truth.  In this month’s recording, Joel does not focus specifically on world work, but he gives us a deeper understanding of how we are to regard the instruction to feel a consciousness of “God’s presence,” or the Father within, or the Christ within.

Joel focuses on how we can become aware of that Presence and emphasizes that the spiritual power of that Presence is NOT something that we try to use to solve world problems. It is a power that uses us, and it does not “solve” problems. Sometimes that Presence is called “the light,” and when you are still, in the consciousness of that Presence, there simply is no darkness; there are no problems. It is not that the presence of God heals disease; where the presence of God is, there is no disease. The presence of God does not create freedom; where God is, there is freedom.

In other words, when you bring the presence of spiritual power to conscious realization, the negative side of life does not function. So we never need to direct Its activity. We simply let spiritual power be, and when we do, no other powers are present and appearances dissolve, just as darkness dissolves in the presence of light.

Spiritual power does not do anything. It is light, immortality, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Omniscience, and because It is, we do not have to do anything to It, or with It, or for It. This is the altitude and attitude that we must develop and nurture in our world work.
