Thunder of Silence by Joel Goldsmith

[Guest guest]

namaste,

 

this is a wonderful book to read

esp for anyone into healing

 

Joel Goldsmith went deep into the teachings of Christ

and became a very effective healer

and it seems Self-Realized

 

in one chapter on prayer, he points out

that it is ok to start off with words

to point us in the right direction

but, that words and thoughts should stop

and leave us in a silent receptive listening attitude

only then will the Presence of God fill us up

 

he also found that that was necessary for effective healing

 

he said that in order to stop his mind/thoughts,

all he had to do was say

" there are not two powers in the world,

only one power God. "

 

I used that phrase paraphrased in one of my prayers

without giving credit; sorry, hope this makes up;

but from my reading of many many

spiritual books, the essence of that has been expressed

by so many; it's just one way of expressing the ultimate

reality of " non-duality; "

for instance the first tenet of Sufism is :

" there is only the One-God( Self )

and nothing other than the One-God( Self ) "

 

om,

amarnath
