    In this captivating book, Joel Goldsmith addresses a difficult problem encountered by many spiritual seekers. "You go from one truth to another and, if you are at all like most persons, you will someday say to yourself, 'Well, I know all the truth that is to be known, but it doesn't seem to do much for me.'" The reason for that, says Goldsmith, is that "so far it has been only an intellectual acceptance of the truth: it has not been the spiritual discernment of it. It has not been an inner conviction; it has not come with spiritual power to make itself alive."Spiritual Discernment is a gift to any truth student who wants to go beyond intellectual understanding. Here Goldsmith is at his best, guiding the reader in how to develop the spiritual discernment that carries with it spiritual power. "We build the capacity of spiritual discernment," he says, "as we agree that God's universe is wholly good and wholly spiritual. With our eyes we cannot believe this, nor with our ears. Our mind will never convince us of this, because our mind is seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, and smelling too much of evil. Therefore, we must be still; we must attain quietness and peace and the ability to live in that attitude so that instead of indulging our likes and dislikes, instead of judging by appearances, we let the spiritual faculty within us discern the nature of that which is appearing to us and being revealed to us."Spiritual discernment is a capacity that we all have, but which lies buried deep and dormant within us due to the deadening human legacy of centuries of material experience. Spiritual Discernment goes a long way in helping the dedicated seeker liberate his capacity for spiritual discernment and bring it into its fullness. "As the inner faculty of discernment is developed," Goldsmith asserts, "we begin to see spiritually, hear spiritually, and know spiritually, and in proportion as we develop the power of spiritual discernment, is everyone who comes within range of our consciousness blessed."[Note: Spiritual Discernment is the collection of the 1974 Infinite Way Letters.]

    The theme and focus of Showing Forth the Presence of God is at the heart of the message of The Infinite Way: that within each of us dwells a living and immediate Presence, the Spirit of God, which is "closer than breathing and nearer than hands and feet." Chapter by chapter, the author unfolds insightful, practical instruction on how to discover this Presence within and let it show forth. He illustrates with great care how this awareness will generate a new vitality and freedom in our day-to-day affairs. "It is the nature of God that we be free. It is the nature of God that we be whole," Goldsmith exclaims, and then goes on to emphasize who "we" are. "The son of God is more than a man who lived two thousand years ago; the son of God is the Spirit of God that dwelt in the man Jesus, and that dwells in every man. Therefore, the son of God is present in you and me."Discovering that Son of God within us and knowing what it means to express that in our daily life is the message of this book. Recognizing the truth that we are sons of God, we come to realize that the universe is not outside of us, but is embodied within our consciousness. "There is no selfhood apart from God," Goldsmith explains, "nor is there a creation apart from God. What we call a material creation is not a material creation: it is a material sense of creation….everything in this universe answers, responds, and is subject to the divine Consciousness which is God." Showing Forth the Presence of God will help the spiritual seeker understand the momentous implications of that truth.[Note: Showing Forth the Presence of God is the collection of the 1980 Infinite Way Letters.]
