The Infinite Way is a spiritual teaching and activity, which can lead to God-realization, created by 20th century American healer, mystic and lecturer Joel S. Goldsmith (1892–1964).
"The Infinite Way is not (just)* a message, it is an experience."[1]
According to Goldsmith, the Message of the Infinite Way is a spiritual teaching and set of specific practices, including meditation, centered around four principles which anyone may understand and demonstrate, irrespective of their religious affiliation.
Those four principles are: The Nature of God, The Nature of Individual Being, the Nature of Error, and, The Nature of Prayer [2]
Goldsmith taught that the faithful and devoted study and practice of these principles, and of the form of meditation which he taught, would result in lifting ordinary humans into a state of higher consciousness which has been called God realization. Goldsmith, and many of his students have demonstrated the result of this higher state of consciousness to be the appearance of health and healing, harmony, serenity, prosperity and service to the world.
The Infinite Way reveals the nature of God to be one infinite, eternal power, presence, intelligence, and love; the nature of the individual being to be one with God's qualities and character, expressed in infinite forms and variety; and the natueachingre of the discords of this world to be a misconception of God's expression of Himself in His universe."[3]
