Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. - Psalm 127:1
The trustees of the Valor Foundation have chosen the Infinite Way Letters of 1972, Living the Illumined Life, for the 2004 Study Guide. This is the second 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.
"Illumination, the attainment of spiritual consciousness or that mind that was also in Christ Jesus, comes when there has been sufficient inner preparation. That preparation consists not only of regular meditation and of learning the letter of truth, but what is even more essential: the practice of it." (The June, 1972 Letter)
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. - Isaiah 43:2
