Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.
Psalm 127
Illumination dissolves all material ties and binds men together with the golden chains of spiritual understanding; it acknowledges only the leadership of the Christ; it has no ritual or rule but the divine, impersonal universal Love; no other worship than the inner Flame that is ever lit at the shrine of Spirit. This union is the free state of spiritual brotherhood. The only restraint is the discipline of Soul; therefore, we know liberty without license; we are a united universe without physical limits; a divine service to God without ceremony or creed. The illumined walk without fear by Grace.
From The Infinite Way by Joel S. Goldsmith
THE MISSION OF ACROPOLIS BOOKS: OUR GRATITUDE AND OUR APPRECIATION
In 1993, Acropolis Books was inwardly directed and guided to ensure the preservation and perpetuation of the work of Joel S. Goldsmith for those interested in his message.
During his active ministry from 1946 through 1964 Joel brought through the message presented by Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. Joels message was called The Infinite Way and reintroduced, with contemporary clarity, a message of immense value to those who are prepared for it and are equally dedicated to studying and working with it. The deepening level of individual consciousness that results is a testimony to the legitimacy and value of Goldsmiths timeless work.
Although several hundred thousand of Joel Goldsmiths books have been sold over the years, some of the original publishers of these books were allowing them to go out of print, thus depriving the world of one of the most special spiritual gifts ever received. Acropolis Books made a commitment in 1993 to ensure all of Joel Goldsmiths books would continue to be available. Acropolis also introduced eleven new books never before professionally published. These activities were possible only through the tireless and faithful dedication of many Infinite Way students, to whom Acropolis Books expresses its eternal gratitude.
Technological evolution has now brought forth e-publishing and e-books, allowing greater simplicity in production and distribution for publishers and providing improved economy and flexibility for readers. Acropolis realized the importance and advantage of making Joels books available in the new e-formats. In 2012 Acropolis entered into an agreement with the estate of Joel S. Goldsmith to become the exclusive worldwide publisher of the entire library of Joels books as e-books. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to the estate for their ongoing confidence in the ability of Acropolis to carry out this most sacred undertaking.
Acropolis Books took on this conversion process with the clear intent to not only preserve and perpetuate the availability of Joels books but to additionally ensure that the integrity and consciousness of the printed books were maintained in the e-books. We trust you will find these e-books deliver the same quality and beauty in their presentation as their printed counterparts. Acropolis also reconstructed its website (www.acropolisbooks.com) to provide a single web location where truth seekers can now find the complete library of Joel Goldsmiths published books in both print and e-formats, including extensive information about each book and about the message of The Infinite Way. Once again, Grace raised up dedicated Infinite Way students to assist in this e-book conversion process and website reconstruction and Acropolis remains so very, very grateful to these individuals.
Thank you once again to each and every one of those dedicated individuals who have allowed Acropolis Books the special privilege of perfecting the original mission given to us. We trust those who find themselves guided to Joel Goldsmiths books will share with us in acknowledging the special contributions these individuals have made in the perpetuation of this work.
