I've been working with Goldsmith material for a few years,
more deeply these last 12 months or so. I certainly haven't
read everything. I find Goldsmith thought provoking, soul
stretching, an intimate friend on my spiritual path. This
book is by far the best I've studied.
I read a chapter each morning and meditate with it. I take
notes. I simply love it.
I've been studying spirit and metaphysics for 25 years and
thought I had a pretty good handle on things. But have been
challenged and provoked again and again in this amazing book.
If you're reading this review, you're ready for this book.
I have written the word WOW numerous times in the margins.
It blows my mind. Thanks again, Joel Goldsmith!

Years ago I was told I should have in my audio library the series of talks given by Joel Goldsmith in Hawaii in the 1950's. But I already had a number of his tapes, so I put off buying more.

Then this book was introduced which consists of later classes in Hawaii. What a treat to read the difference in how Joel's consciousness had been transformed from books of earlier times! The words somehow, at least to me, became deeper, more profound.

This book is volume packed and flows as though you are right there with him, hearing him, seeing him, feeling the presence of God within him when he goes into meditation with his students. Example: Page 211, "Close your eyes, and very gently inside of yourself say: 'I. That is all. I is within you, so learn to trust it, but not as a power over anything. Just trust 'I am with you' and rest, relax."

As always, Joel's delivery is not trite or superficial or pompous. Down to earth, friendly, and spoken in language every one can understand.

Joel S Goldsmith was a mystic teacher whose writings I devoured for many years. This 600+ page hardback is no exception.

Each serious student should treat themselves to this book. What an excellent job Acropolis Books has done in publishing these beautiful and illuminating lectures which were unavailable for decades. Mr. Goldsmith's depth of consciousness lifts us with each page.

An expansion upon the previously published material of Infinite Way. Full of insight and practical pointers on the Way.

This book is my favorite of Joel's after many years of study. I believe that Joel Goldsmith has given us the truest spiritual message available. This book is for advanced students and Joel himself recommended that students new to his work read Practicing the Presence, Liviing the Infinite Way, and The Art of Meditation as first books for students new to the message. I am fortunate to have the original transcripts from these talks that became Consciousness Transformed the book. I noticed that someone said it is overly edited and I find that not to be the case for me. I find the message in no way diluted in this wonderful book. It is simply the truth to me and I am blessed every time I pick it up.

I have checked every word of these talks with the original and found the tone and syntax completely changed. Sadly, the tampering affects the value of this work. Look for the originals at [...]

This book is the culmination of Joel Goldsmith's personal living in the presence of God, being the last two years of the recorded talks he gave in Hawaii. He wanted to share his own mystical experience of living in the conscious presence of God, so that anyone who wishes to can learn to live in the awareness of God directly. This book represents the fullness of his teaching.
