2022 Study Guide

It is the nature of God that we be free. It is the nature of God that we be whole,” Joel S. Goldsmith exclaims and then goes on to emphasize who “we” are – “The son of God is more than a man who lived two thousand years ago; the son of God is the spirit of God that dwelt in the man Jesus, and that dwells in every man, therefore, the son of God is present in you and me.” Discovering that son of God within us, and then knowing what it means to express that in our world, is the message of this volume, one which is particularly relevant today.”

The trustees of the Valor Foundation have chosen the Infinite Way Letters of 1980, Showing Forth the Presence of God, for the 2022 Study Guide. This is the tenth 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 CDs or MP3s along with each monthly letter. The Valor Website also
provides suggestions for using Lorraine’s class work with each month’s study.

There is no selfhood apart from God,” Joel explains, “nor is there a creation apart from God. What we call a material creation is not a material creation: it is a material sense of creation… everything in this universe answers, responds, and is subject to the divine consciousness which is God.” (The 1980 Letters)
