1962 Chicago Closed Class – Introduction

Introduction to the Class

In this extraordinary class, Joel gives a clear, thorough, and practical explanation of the stages of spiritual development.  Beginning with the human state of consciousness, Joel takes us step-by-step through our journey on the path from sense to Soul.  He gives an abundance of guidance about how we can live the spiritual life and engage in practices that will enable us to rise in consciousness to the state of full Self-realization.  You can almost feel the inspiration coming to Joel as the message flows easily and freely through him in these animated sessions.  The final class session is a crown jewela deep and moving presentation on the “pearl of great price.”

Several of the sessions in this class were used as source material for Joel’s trailblazing book A Parenthesis in Eternity. 

Our Approach to Study

We will hear the entire class as Joel gave it.  After we hear a recording for the first time, we will post that recording in the Study Center and on the telephone recordings line for ten weeks, and you can listen to it any time at your convenience.  We are most grateful to Sue Ropac, on behalf of the Estate of Joel S. Goldsmith, for permission to post these recordings during our study program.
