On June 20, 2026, we will begin a study of the 1962 Pacific Palisades Special Class.
This class comprises four wonderful sessions on The Infinite Way as a way of life. All the teachers Joel personally chose to carry on the teaching work attended this class, and the high consciousness of the participants drew forth a beautiful message.
Joel works with the idea that The Infinite Way is not just a teaching for us to study, but a way of life lived through prayer, meditation, inner stillness, the recognition of one power, and release from dependence on outer conditions. He teaches that as we stop seeking God for things and begin yielding to God as the very life, substance, and consciousness of our being, we come to the realization: “That which I am seeking, I already am” and “My conscious oneness with God constitutes my oneness with all spiritual being and idea.”
At the end of the class, Joel spoke to the importance of this class when he said: “This is the first Saturday night in sixteen years of classwork that I can truthfully say, ‘I’m sorry.’ With every class, Saturday night has been my joy. I’ve been released from something terrific, but tonight is an exception—the first one is sixteen years. Tonight I feel that if we could go on for another week, something great would happen.”
Joel seemed to regard this class as an opportunity for students to move from metaphysical understanding into mystical living; from simply knowing truths about God to living as the transparency through which God’s grace flows.
We look forward taking the journey through this class with you.
We will hear the four sessions of this class in the order in which Joel gave them. If a class was used as source material for any book chapter, we will reference the book. We will also provide optional study material for each session.
After we hear a recording for the first time, we will post it in the Study Center and on the telephone recordings line for the duration of the study program and for four weeks after we conclude the program. This enables students to access the recordings regardless of when they begin participating. We are most grateful to Sue Ropac, on behalf of the Estate of Joel S. Goldsmith, for permission to post these copyrighted recordings.
