Infinite Way Writings
| Weekly Passage - for week of 7/18/04
"To overcome the world means to overcome, or rise above, all sense desire, to be free of world attraction, to live in the world but be not of it, to attain freedom from bondage to personal ego, and to understand the spiritual world and thus gain freedom from the false sense of God's universe. As we humanly see this world, we are seeing God's heaven, but seeing it 'through a glass darkly.' To overcome this world means to rise above the human, finite, erroneous sense of the world, and see it as it is. "It was John who told us, 'When he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.' In this enlightened consciousness, we shall see God face to face, even though it is God appearing as you or as me, God appearing as individual man or woman." -- from Joel Goldsmith's "Conscious Union With God" Return to the 2004 Weekly Passage Archive Page |
