Joel Goldsmith asks, “Do we know our true identity? Do we know who we are? For therein lies the secret. Are we human beings? Are we sinners? Are we mortal? Is that our identity or is that a mistaken concept of ourselves which we must outgrow, outlive, and outlearn?” These are but a few of the questions answered in his book. (The 1978 Letters)
The trustees of the Valor Foundation have chosen the Infinite Way Letters of 1978, God Formed Us For His Glory, for the 2020 Study Guide. This is the eighth of the 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 recorded classes corresponding to each chapter of the book. In this way students can work with the cassettes or CDs along with each monthly letter. The Valor website also provides suggestions for using Lorraine’s class work with each month’s study.
Joel says “… the experience of meditation ultimately becomes an individual one. You, yourself have to come to a place within you where a release comes, where there is an awareness of an inner contact. Then there are signs following: harmony, healing and all good.” (The 1978 Letters)
