2005 Study Guide

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after; and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. — Luke 12:29-32

The trustees of the Valor Foundation have chosen the Infinite Way Letters of 1973, Seek Ye First, for the 2005 Study Guide. This is the third of the new eleven book series made up of The 1971-1981 Infinite Way Letters, prepared and edited by Lorraine Sinkler, from Joel S. Goldsmith’s tape recorded classwork. They are fine-quality soft cover books which include Scriptural References and Notes, as well as a listing of the tape recorded classes corresponding to each chapter of the book. In this way students can work with the cassettes along with each monthly letter. The Valor Website also provides suggestions for using Lorraine’s class work with each month’s study.

“Go back to the teaching of the Master: ‘Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.’ That certainly includes your health and longevity. Take no thought for anything that touches your human life, but ‘seek ye the kingdom of God,’ the kingdom of Spirit, the grace of Spirit, the consciousness of Spirit. Seek these things only, and then all the other things will be added.” (The August, 1973 Letter)

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. — Psalm 46:1-4
