About the book: year / THE CONTEMPLATIVE LIFE. Author: Joel S. Goldsmith. Note from the creator of the electronic version of the book: This text came to me in the form of an automatic translation from a recognized scan of an English-language book. In some places the text was poorly recognized, in others (in addition to the first) the translation was something completely unintelligible. I tried my best to make it readable, but errors and even serious distortions of the author’s thoughts are possible. Therefore, I consider the resulting text suitable only for my personal use and do not recommend that anyone base their movement along the Infinite Path on it.
