We have posted a new question and answer from Joel, in which he answers what he calls “the most frequently asked question in the world.”
We have posted a new world work recording, which you can access and hear at any time, online or by telephone. We have also posted a new “Question and Answer from Joel,” in which Joel gives a beautiful answer to a question about parenthood.
On June 17, we will begin studying the book The Realization of Oneness: The Practice of Spiritual Healing, which is the collection of the 1964 Infinite Way Letters. While Joel made his transition in June of 1964, because of the lead time required to publish the monthly Letter, it seems that he had already prepared the copy for the July and August Letters and personally written the “Across the Desk” segment. So the Letters from January through August are especially precious because they are the last ones that Joel himself reviewed and edited.
At the beginning of 1964, Joel said this about the Letters to come that year:
“…The Infinite Way Monthly Letters of 1964 consist of an entire series devoted to spiritual healing in accord with the principles of The Infinite Way. That may not be spiritual healing as somebody else understands it; that is only spiritual healing as it is practiced in the message of The Infinite Way. This series will include both aspects of spiritual healing that are included in The Infinite Way; that is, the metaphysical and the mystical.
The mystical approach to spiritual healing cannot be accomplished by anyone until the metaphysical principles of The Infinite Way are so much a part of them that they have become like flesh and bones unto them. In other words, the mystical consciousness is developed through the metaphysical, and more especially through Infinite Way metaphysical, because we do have specific, consistent principles which develop consciousness. In other words, we do not have a system that says one day that your wrong thinking produced your troubles, and then the next day that your wrong thinking isn’t a cause. We do not give you a treatment one day for muscles and brain and heart and the next day give you another kind of treatment for something else.
In other words, the metaphysical principles of The Infinite Way are absolutely consistent, and they are based on this: That God is Consciousness, the infinite Consciousness, and that man and the universe is this Consciousness formed, expressed, and therefore, since God is incorporeal Spirit, man and the universe is incorporeal spirituality.”[1]
So our realization of oneness is essential to the practice of spiritual healing. The basis of Infinite Way healing work is “abiding in the realization of One: one presence, God; one wisdom, God; one power, God; and no other powers.”[2] Joel said that these 1964 Letters would “pound and hammer” at these specific principles, so that we may develop the consciousness of the message. We look forward to sharing and studying this inspiring book and these marvelous recordings with you.
If you wish to order this book in either print or e-book format, we encourage you to do so using the links on the Acropolis Books website. Acropolis Books is the one publisher that has made the commitment to preserve Joel’s work for future generations.
