Study Resources

Infinite Way students have many resources available to support study of the message. 

Electronic Search Tool

Acropolis Books and The Infinite Way Office jointly provide the Joel S. Goldsmith Electronic Search Tool as a service to Infinite Way students at no charge.  The Search Tool allows users to search for any word or phrase in the complete database of all Joel Goldsmith books written in English and the transcripts of all of Joel Goldsmith’s recorded classes.  There are three search options:

  • Search books only
  • Search transcripts only
  • Search BOTH books and transcripts

Search results provide excerpts from the book chapter and/or class transcripts in which the search term appears, showing the context for each instance of the search term.  Search results can be filtered by a specific book or class to show only the instances of the search term in that book or class.

The Search Tool is a valuable resource for in-depth study of The Infinite Way message.  It can be immensely helpful for studying a specific topic such as forgiveness, mysticism, prayer, mind, body, healing, relationships, or supply, or for finding a specific reference such as the story behind Joel’s use of the term “white poodle,” or the story of the lost baggage, or the astounding story about Joel meeting his friend in Cairo. If you want to know what Joel had to say about Buddha, Mohammed, Nanak, Paul, John, or other mystics, the search tool will show you where he wrote about them in the books or spoke about them in classes.

Questions and Answers from Joel

Since 2016, Goldsmith Global has been posting questions and answers from Joel.  These were posted twice a month, so there is now quite a large collection.  You can search the titles and the content for all of the questions and answers.

The Wisdoms

The Wisdoms of The Infinite Way is a collection of 132 deep statements of truth that are included in the book The Infinite Way. Speaking about the Wisdoms, Joel said,

“The Wisdoms found in The Infinite Way came to me over a period of two years. Some students may not understand these Wisdoms because they are not man’s wisdom: God gave them to me, and spiritual wisdom is requisite for an understanding of them. Before they were given out to the public, I released them to a small group of students for study and absorption into consciousness. … Study the Wisdoms earnestly. Live with them day in and day out. Meditate on them and they will open up a way before you–the way of fulfillment.”  (From The Heart of Mysticism, Volume 5: The 1958 Letters, Chapter 1, “Spiritual Unfoldment through the Study of The Infinite Way”)

You can make your own set of wisdom cards using the downloadable files below.  You have a choice of two formats.

Plain Paper Format

This downloadable PDF file is formatted for printing on plain paper or card stock.  After printing, you can cut along the grid lines to separate the cards. There are  ten (10) Wisdoms per page, so you will need fourteen (14) pages to print all of them.

Avery Business Card Format

This downloadable PDF file is formatted for printing on Avery brand Business Card sheets (Avery product number 8371 or 08371).  These sheets are heavyweight stock with a matte finish, and they have ultrafine perforations that allow you to separate the individual cards easily and cleanly. Each sheet provides ten 2” x 3 ½” cards, and there are twenty-five (25) sheets in a package.  Since there are 132 Wisdoms, one package is sufficient to print all the Wisdom cards.  You can purchase the Avery Business Card sheets at most office supply stores.  You can also purchase them from Amazon.com.

The Infinite Way Monthly Letter

Starting in 1954, Joel sent a Monthly Letter to interested, earnest students of The Infinite Way. Through the Letter, Joel communicated to students on a regular basis, sharing the new insights that came through in his classes and meditations.  When Joel transitioned in 1964, Lorraine Sinkler, his editor, continued to issue the Monthly Letter, drawing on the rich resource of Joel’s recorded classes.  From 1977 to 1988, Geri McDonald, Joel’s stepdaughter, had responsibility for the monthly letter, and in 1988, Sue Ropac, Geri McDonald’s daughter and current trustee for the Estate of Joel Goldsmith, took over the publication of the Letter  and continues to issue it today. The Monthly Letter is available in paper or electronic format.

The Inner Kingdom Consciousness Study Course

Per the Infinite Way Office website, Joel designed this study course to raise spiritual consciousness and develop Infinite Way practitioners.  He set it aside with specific instructions, and since 1997, the course had been offered to serious Infinite Way students. It is an individual course of study, and students proceed at their own pace through the thirty-six chapters. Each chapter consists of two recordings, together with the transcripts of those recordings.

The course is available in two formats:

  • CD and print format, which provides the recordings on CDs and the transcripts in print, packaged in a convenient binder. Recordings, transcripts, and binders are mailed to the participant.
  • MP3 and PDF format, which provides the recordings as downloadable MP3s and the transcripts as downloadable PDFs.
