"It is through prayer and communion that we have the God-experience."
This month’s chapter opens with an essential truth of this path: “We must understand that the message of The Infinite Way is not to give the world a new teaching, but to give the world an experience. The Infinite Way is actually a God-experience, a Christ-experience.” There are steps to attaining this experience which Joel explains: First, we understand the nature of God; we learn how to pray and meditate. And then we may ask: “What is God?” And stay with that in silence and contemplation. Then, we listen. This key chapter answers “How do I achieve this realization?”
"We must drop this belief that we play a part in obtaining God’s love, God’s grace, or God’s givingness, and remember that the only part we play is to accept it by opening our consciousness to receive it."
