Joel Goldsmith: Ancient Prayer Secret | How Silence Brings Divine Healing & Spiritual Awakening

Joel Goldsmith explains that prayer is not a means to ask God for material things or to seek intervention, but rather a way to contact the source of life and bring harmony into one's experience through spiritual oneness.

A central theme is the necessity of praying for enemies rather than hating them. Goldsmith illustrates how this practice, highlighted by the example of General MacArthur in Japan, can transform conflicts and overcome hatred through forgiveness and understanding.

Goldsmith discusses the importance of shifting one's concept of God to a loving father who is closer than breathing. He emphasizes that faith should be placed in God's presence and knowledge of our needs, rather than in external circumstances.

The path to healing is not found in asking, but in communion. Goldsmith describes a meditative practice of inner silence where one recognizes the divine presence, leading to an 'inner peace' where the union with God is experienced and spiritual healing manifests.

The session concludes by teaching that after our thoughts are directed toward God, we must reach a state of complete silence. It is in this inner stillness that we fully merge with the divine, allowing God's presence to work through our lives.
