The Thunder of Silence

The book I ordered was supposed to be good and a later edition. The book I got was acceptable condition and 1961 version versus 1984.

As one reviwer said very well; "Words are inadequate to describe the beauty and truth within these pages." This book merges Advaita Vedanta and New Thought in a wonderful and easy to understand format. I was glad to find a book that teaches the very core from which every school of Metaphysics and Yoga emerged, the non-duality (There's no Good or Evil, just unconditioned energy/mind and our thoughts/carnal mind and concepts give things a label). If you want to learn real metaphysics, get it now, you won't be dissapointed. I have well over 700 metaphysical/yoga/self-help books, and this is the one I would choose, along with Silence of the Heart, by Robert Adams, if I had to go to a desert Island.

I bought this book almost 25 years ago, as a hardback, from an Infinite Way Study Center. It became one of my favorite books and I have given copies of it to others who had an interest in learning more of the Truth as taught by Joel Goldsmith. Yes, the thunder of God's presence reverberates after the still small voice heard in the silence of the cavern of one's being. And, when you finally have that spiritual realization and hear God's still small voice, it will come through roaring, as though thundering in your soul and you'll never forget it. I've read this book over and over again. I even read it onto cassette tapes so I could listen to it in bed, with the lights out. An excellent, excellent source of spiritual growth. Buy it. Buy two and give one away. You will be blessed. Gail Gupton, Author: The 31-Day Diet of Spiritual Enlightenment and Seekers of Truth.

This is one of my favorite Infinite Way books. After Living the Infinite Way, Practicing the Presence and The Infinite Way this is one of the most important books for students new to this message. Words are inadequate to describe the beauty and truth within these pages. I invite you to experience the eloquence.

I remember being drawn to buy it. I had never heard of the Joel Goldsmith. The first time I started to read it, I couldn't understand it. However, I was called back to it over and over again. Very shortly a 10 year study of mysticism, specifically and exculsively the work of Joel S. Goldsmith ensued. I encourage anyone with a deep yearning for the experience of Divine Unconditional Love to read this book. I am deeply and forever grateful.

When we can hear the Thunder of Silence, the gates of heaven will open. Joel Goldsmith said that no student ever outgrows the principles and teachings in this book. The Thunder of Silence is founded on a lecture by the same name, given by Joel at 22 Kailua Road, in Kailua Hawaii in 1955. This lesson was given to only seven students, but with this book, these special lessons are available to the entire world
