"The moment we have a God-experience, we no longer live our own life: God lives Its life as us."
Chapter Nine, “A Moment of Christhood," will be of great interest to all serious students and readers. Joel reviews the key principles of The Infinite Way and then very helpfully describes, a “practice of nowness, a state of ‘today-ness’” which breaks down any concept of what “effort” is in spiritual practice. Joel rather, presents a more immediate and moment by moment approach to this limitless life in Spirit. A meditation from the chapter explains it beautifully: “Yesterday is gone forever; tomorrow will never come; there is only today, and today love is the fulfilling of the law. This moment I acknowledge the Christ as my being; I acknowledge the Christ as the life of my friend or enemy; I acknowledge the Christ alone. Then, in this moment, we are Christ-consciousness.”
"Meditation is an invitation for God to speak to us or to make Himself known to us; it is not an attempt to reach God, since God is omnipresent. The Presence already is."
