Joel S. Goldsmith, fully Joel Solomon Goldsmith

New Thought Author, Teacher, Spiritual Healer, Mystic and Founded of the Infinite Way Movement

"God must become an activity in our consciousness."

"God is glorified in the fruitage of our lives."

"Nothing can happen to you unless it is an activity of your own consciousness."

"Man is always seeking a power, a power to overcome something or destroy something; and therefore he is not living in the awareness of God, because in the realization of the presence of God there is no need to overcome, to destroy, or to do anything"

"There is never a conflict with person or condition, but rather a false concept mentally entertanied “about” person, thing or condition. Therefore make the correction within yourself, rather than attempting to change anyone or anything in the without. "

"I live always in the realization that this is the only moment, and the harmony that exists in this moment is an eternal harmony which has always existed and always will exist."

"The purpose of our study is that God may reveal Itself as our individual consciousness: I am the Word become flesh. The beginning of wisdom is when we draw our attention away from the outer world, from the world of effect or appearance, and begin to realize that power is not in it, but in me. All power is given unto me. I have dominion over everything that appears in the world of effect."
