Announcing: Daily Online Meditations to Support the U.S. Presidential Election

In the United States, we are in the final two weeks of the four-year presidential election cycle, and many students have been looking for ways to contribute spiritually to the election process and elevate the atmosphere with peace and clarity.

In the spirit of “two or more gathered together,” we are offering daily meditations for two weeks to raise our awareness and bring the light of spiritual consciousness to this election period. While this is a U.S. election, its impact will be felt globally, and we warmly welcome participation from our friends outside the United States. We have the opportunity to unite as a global community in this spiritual practice.

We will begin this program on Tuesday, October 22, and continue through Tuesday, November 5, except for Saturday, November 2, when we have our usual morning tape group session. We will conduct the meditations once a day at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and each session will last about twenty minutes.

During his ministry, Joel Goldsmith provided profound spiritual guidance on elections and voting. Each session will begin with a relevant reading, followed by ten minutes of meditation, a second reading of the message, and an additional ten minutes of meditation.

You can participate online or by telephone using the same access you use for the Saturday tape group sessions:

We warmly invite you to join us in this activity of love and service. By participating in these meditations, not only will you personally benefit, you will have the opportunity to elevate the consciousness of the country during this election cycle.

Following each session, we will post the quotation used, should you want to refer to it during the day. Click/tap here to access the quotations.

We have posted a new question and answer from Joel.  The student asks, “How is it possible to develop that spiritual consciousness, or that reliance on the Invisible rather than on the visible?”

We have posted a new question and answer from Joel.  The student asks about several Bible quotations regarding prayer.

At the end of Chapter 9, “The Issues of Life Are in Consciousness,” in our current study book, Consciousness Is What I Am, Joel illustrates what can happen when we open ourselves to the Consciousness at the center of our being and let It fulfill our life.  He describes his experience in a class in Portland, Oregon, when he was first asked if he would allow his talk to be recorded on tape.  He had never heard of a tape recorder and knew nothing of its function.  But that day opened up a whole new way of teaching and presenting truth, which has benefited students for over seventy years.

You might enjoy listening to Joel tell the story of that experience. This excerpt is from Recording 605A, “Effective Prayer, Organs, Functions, Food,” from the 1951 Second Portland Series.
