The Heart of Mysticism: The Infinite Way Letters, 1955-1959

by Joel S. Goldsmith

The Heart of Mysticism is a collection of the monthly letters Joel Goldsmith sent to students from 1955 through 1959. Originally published as individual volumes for each year, this collective edition is the most comprehensive anthology of Joel s work in a single book and covers a vast range of topics. Each letter is a lesson in spiritual living and provides instruction in specific spiritual principles that can be applied in daily experience. Goldsmith considered his monthly letters to be a vital link with his students, in which he could communicate the deepest experiences that came during his ongoing class work. He once said, There is nothing more precious in our entire library than the Infinite Way Letters.

Readers can browse the rich table of contents and find a Letter that resonates with a current life experience, or can work through the Letters month by month to follow five years of the work of one of the great mystical teachers of our time. Since its publication, The Heart of Mysticism has become a treasured favorite for many Infinite Way students.

This is my favorite book. I keep it at hand by my chair and continuously read it, finding insights, strength and inspiration from it. I’ve been doing this for more than ten years. If you are ready for deep spiritual understanding, I invite you to consider the writings of this amazing man, Joel S. Goldsmith.

Just amazing! I didn't want it to end! I carried it with me wherever I went. (Luckily, I have a few more Goldsmith books waiting in the wings!) I could hear the Holy Spirit's Voice speaking through Joel Goldsmith, providing comfort, encouragement, and inspiration. I recommend it for anyone who wants to get serious about their spiritual journey!

I am reading this book as part of a discussion group. For now the assignment is The Infinite Way Letters 1957.

I like what Goldsmith has to say. In many instances it seems very simple and matter-of-fact. However, he brings up some topics for great discussion.

I don't suggest you pick up the book and try to read it all at one time. It is the kind of book that you read a chapter and then spend some time reflecting on what you've read before moving on to the next.
