Optional Study Suggestions

Reviewing the Principles

In this chapter, Joel addresses the four “pillar” principles of The Infinite Way:

  • The nature of God
  • The nature of individual being
  • The nature of error
  • The nature of prayer

He emphasizes that the study and practice of these principles is the way that we evolve out of the material sense of life into the spiritual state of consciousness.

As we study this chapter, we can take the opportunity to review how well we understand these four principles. If you would like to refresh your understanding, it might be helpful to listen to the first four recording excerpts provided in the “Audio Excerpts from Joel’s Classes” from our website pages on “Joel Goldsmith and The Infinite Way.”

The Second Source Recording for This Chapter

The second source recording for this chapter is 193B, which is a continuation of the class we heard in our sessions.  Recording 193A, which we heard in our group session, covered much of what is in Chapter 9, but did not cover the section on the nature of individual being.  Recording 193B is the source for the part of Chapter 9 that has the subtitle, “The Infinite Nature of Individual Being.”  We encourage you to listen to this recording to complete the lessons in this chapter. This recording was posted  is no longer available on this website.  If you subscribe to the Joel Goldsmith Streaming Service, you can listen to it there.
