5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Sublime, September 9, 1999

By A Customer

I have been a Goldsmith fan for approxiamately a year and I can most definitely say that out of the books I've read so far...this is one of his "better" ones. Each chapter brings a deeper level of understanding for Metaphysical aficionados and Truth students. This book will definitely increase one's sense of peace,inner-knowing, and joy. It is a must read for those seeking to improve the quality of their lives and it is priceless!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is Spiritual Caviar, September 13, 2003

By	Linda J. Schiller-hanna "Blessed one" (northeast Ohio) - See all my reviews

If you are blessed to have found Goldsmith, (its a soul
maturity thing), and have enough background in him to be
ready for his best work...then read this. You can see the
echoes of his other books in many pages, but whereas some
of the earlier ones took 8 pages to say it, now it is told
in 8 pithy words...brilliant, aha concepts jump off the
page and directly into your heart.
If I could only have one spiritual book on my shelf, this
would be it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is Joel at his most developed level as spiritual teacher, July 14, 1997

By A Customer

Joel tackles many of his favorite subjects here, including the illusion of what we seem to experience between cradle & grave, (the parenthesis) the allness of consciousness, the understanding of the I Am, and most importantly the differences between the spiritual and the mental. He again works his recurring theme of realization through meditation that "the father and I are one." This one should be read after The Infinite Way, Thunder of Silence, Practicing the Presence, Art of Meditation, and perhaps some of his other books
