We are unable to support this list or the work of Mary Noack.
It is with utmost seriousness that we urge all Infinite Way students to avoid this site, and strongly advise that you not register here or use the student list.
It is understandable to want to find friends on our path. However, The Infinite Way requires us to give up all dependencies that we have come to know in the world, friends, companionship, discussion, socializing. We do not "need" friends or those of "like mind". We need to meditate and find the Companion within who will guide and direct, teach and counsel us.
When considering a teacher, be very careful with whom you align your soul. The teacher relationship is more sacred than marriage. It is one of trust and commitment. Do not enter lightly into such a bond and thoroughly research anyone claiming to be a teacher.
Look within, not without for strength, comfort and fulfillment. Only then will "your own" come to you. You do not need to seek it. Grace will guide you.
"Stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord."
Please avoid this list if you are looking for teachers. There are a number of people who are listed on another page here, The Disobedient. Each student is urged to use caution, meditate for guidance, use common sense and your intellect in any quest to find a teacher or practitioner. I hope that the following guidelines serve to help you.
Ask prospective teachers if they own Joel's tapes, have conducted tape group? How many tapes do they own? How long have they been studying the work? Who was their teacher? (You will then know if they were taught to ignore or excuse the Letter to Norman.)
Finally, as with any spiritual guide you entrust your soul to, be sure they are of the highest human integrity and behave in a way you can respect and support. A spiritual teacher does not seek your money, your company, your person, your companionship, your love or your dependence. At all times, you are free. You should never feel controlled or manipulated.
Check names on the website as we have.
Here is an example of one woman saying she is an IW teacher who uses only Joel's works and doesn't record:
Tina Vandi:
"I'm married and have two wonderful children and am not seeking to change my current relationship status. Simply and succintly, I am here to meet new people. If you're someone with depth of soul and intent, possess the spirit, heart and mind set of a millionaire, please feel free to contact me. We can meet and see if there is a basis of association based on like consciousness without any preconceived expectations or manipulation. Would our meeting and knowing each other make life fuller and richer for both of us? Is our meeting for a reason or a lifetime? Are you drawn? Care to explore?"
Here is a man named Corey Leland:
"...Better that you just list me as a student. I'm happy to give credit to Joel and IW for much of the great works that I am doing as a Teacher of God in the world....But with all those rigid conditions...I mean did Joel constantly give credit to CS??? or Jesus???Buddha???oh and have you read Ramana Maharshi??? Joel did!!! In all honestly I spend most of my nights and days with A Course in Miracles, another Jesus based form of Christian Mysticism..."
* Again, this is Joel's instruction to TEACHERS while teaching. This does not mean he/we are asking anyone not read anything but Infinite Way. This must be clear. We are not controlling what students read or study. We are making a rule for a TEACHER.
** This is not to say any other religion cannot incorporate Joel's Infinite Way principles into their work. (Joel mentions on tape how he hoped that this would, indeed, happen.) We are saying that the opposite is not possible. We cannot be Infinite Way students and teachers and still have a foot in another religion or metaphysical practice. We will get nowhere in The Infinite Way.
