Joel Goldsmith: "I" Have Dominion Over Mind and Body - Not Joel, But "I" | Spiritual Awakening

✨In this profound December 31st teaching from the 1955 Inner Working Group, Joel Goldsmith reveals the ultimate spiritual realization: true dominion comes not from the personal self but from the divine "I" that is closer than breathing - the same universal consciousness that animates all creation. Joel Goldsmith: "I" Have Dominion Over Mind and Body - Not Joel, But "I" | Spiritual Awakening | 1957 Inner Working Group | 805A • DIVINE DOMINION OVER MIND AND BODY: God has given us dominion over everything in heaven, earth, air, and waters beneath. We must consciously claim this dominion, standing as "porter at the door of thought" to prevent worldly fears, beliefs, and superstitions from entering consciousness. • NOT JOEL BUT I - THE TRUE SELF: The personal identity has no power. "I, Joel, as the branch that is one with the vine" - but the I that is God determines what manner of thinking shall be done and what manner of body shall be worn. The divine I governs, walks, breathes, eats, rests, meditates. • CONSCIOUS ONENESS WITH GOD: Not merely oneness with God, but conscious oneness with God constitutes oneness with all spiritual being and idea. Because there is only one Self, "I am thyself" - the Self which I am is the Self which thou art. • ERROR IS IMPERSONAL: Individuals are instruments through which impersonal error operates, just as hands can neither give nor withhold of themselves. The hand can be directed by personal Joel or by the universal I - train yourself to never acknowledge that any individual's body can be or do anything of itself. • BEYOND ALL WORDS ABOUT GOD: Every word for God (mind, soul, spirit, life, truth) is merely a concept in your thought, not God itself. You can never find God until every single word has been stripped from your thought - except one word you cannot eliminate: I. • THE I THAT COMES FROM THE CHEST: All other God-words come from the head, but "I" comes from right down in the chest, closer than breathing. "I AM that I AM" - this wordless awareness reveals God's actual presence, not intellectual concepts. • MEDITATION TECHNIQUE FOR DOMINION: After conscious realization, travel within your body to different organs and functions. Realize "I am the life, substance, activity, and law of every organ and function. I am the strength of muscles, the substance of bones and flesh. Without me, you couldn't act." • NO POWER TEACHING: Rather than "one power," the advanced understanding is "no power" - power denotes opposition against something. Life simply is, continuously expressing without opposition, like invisible life coursing through a tree pushing out new leaves without force. • BODY AS TEMPORARY FORM: The physical body constantly renews (shedding skin, growing hair, replacing blood) while the immortal I remains unchanged. "I am not nails, skin, blood or bones. I am I - the invisible life that courses through this body but I am not the body." • COSMIC LAW AND REPENTANCE: As you sow, so shall you reap - invisible forces ensure that what we do to another is done to ourselves. True forgiveness comes only through genuine repentance that elevates consciousness beyond possibility of repeating harmful acts. • THE HARD WORK REQUIRED: Humanhood is separation from God, and returning to the kingdom requires "very hard conscious effort." Not because grace isn't free or available, but because neither God nor grace is available to the human mind until that human person dies to their humanhood. 🧿 Joel emphasizes this teaching is difficult to convey and requires rigorous continuous practice. Alfred Tennyson lifted himself into spiritual consciousness by repeating his name "Alfred, Alfred, Alfred" - Joel uses the gentle "I" (not egotistical, but knowing it's God coming through). This was received as impartation from within through years of practice, not invented or made up intellectually.
