A Vision to Behold

"The power of love must be released from within ourselves."

Joel Goldsmith
Practicing the Presence
,
Chapter
Ten

November brings our study of Practicing the Presence to its beautiful final chapter—“A Vision to Behold.” This is more than a summary of the book. Joel, in this chapter, provides a way forward into a holistic and natural way of practicing the Presence: “The way is prayer; the where is the kingdom of God within us; the when is now—this moment of Christhood; the how is action.” This chapter is an acknowledgment of “this gentle Presence that you have felt that is to carry you throughout your days back into conscious union with God.”  

Thank you for being with us on this ever-continuing journey!

"Meditation is an invitation for God to speak to us or to make Himself known to us; it is not an attempt to reach God, since God is omnipresent. The Presence already is."
