"If we take our eyes away from the form long enough to look behind it into the Invisible and see God as the principle of all life, we shall understand the difference between material living and spiritual living."
Joel Goldsmith
The Art of Meditation
,
Chapter Eight
This important chapter addresses the misconception that individuals are originators of life. From that misperception the limited sense of human life is perpetuated with all of its "shifting values" and assumptions about what is good or what is evil. What we learn about in this chapter is that "a spiritual sense of life… enjoys the form while recognizing the Infinite Invisible as the essence of that form." Joel leads the reader in a profound meditation beginning: "God made this form, my infinite form, to show forth my true identity…." This is a chapter to instruct and to bring peace and a letting go of effort.
"Gradually we go deeper and deeper until we find ourselves centered in God. We are not thinking any more: thoughts are being thought for us, ideas are being crystallized through us, impartations of the Soul become apparent to our awareness."
