TLDR: Gatekeeping in the spiritual healing community
Blessings, beautiful souls —
The other day, I was listening to this podcast featuring Charlie Goldsmith and was quite irked. Charlie Goldsmith is an energy healer – he had a spiritual awakening that allowed him to unearth his healing abilities for healing physical ailments in people.
Throughout the conversation, Charlie insinuates the following:
– No one can heal like he heals/he is the most powerful/most unique
– Not everyone is gifted
– It wouldn’t make sense for everyone in the world to be a healer, or we wouldn’t need healers
– He’s never met anyone who can heal at his level
– His elite healing group will evaluate whether you’re worthy of being called a healer
As I write this, I’m being pulled to stay in a state of emotional neutrality and to not let anger or frustration overcome me. I am being told to write this from a place of spiritual information and not to focus on attacking the character of Charlie Goldsmith, but to instead send him love. And so, I breathe deep and will try and hold to that.
I want to address the most important thing, right off the bat: anyone who tells you that you aren’t gifted/don’t have spiritual gifts is lying to you.
Any spiritual mentor/healer who tells you that you are not special and you need them because they are is trying to trap you into spiritual dependency, and they, themselves, are locked in a space of Ego. We came on this earth to unravel just how gifted, connected, and tapped into Source we all are. We are not separate from the Oneness – we are a finger on the hand of God.
At one point, Earth was an Eden. Everyone was tapped into their true potential, everyone was capable of healing, and our community rallied around sharing this healing with eachother. Goldsmith says we don’t need a world full of healers, but we do – that is how we get to a place of peace, unity, soul-centered compassion, and community. When we are all mirrors to one another and we recognize our equality with our neighbour, that you or I are no better than the next, that is when we reach true peace. By recognizing that, within ourselves, we all have the potential to be that great healer, we do not see the other as better than us, and we can still humbly go to the other to guide us where we cannot seem to reach, ourselves.
Goldsmith is wrong. Our goal is to get Earth back to Eden – and the only way to do that is to stop needing healers on a pedestal and, instead, have everyone recognize their inner healer so we can openly share these gifts with one another without pride or prejudice.
Our goal should be to live in a world where healers are not needed.
Goldsmith may fear losing out on his wealth if we lived in a world full of healers (“How will I make my money if I’m not special?!”), but monetary wealth will simply not exist/be redefined in a world that is fully healed. Who wouldn’t want to get there? Who would want to keep living in a world that is dependent on healers?
Goldsmith mistakes being needed in this world with having the title of “healer.” You are needed in this world just as you are, just by being, not because of what you do.
Goldsmith makes many references to Jesus, and then also makes many references to himself in the same sentence. He mentions that he has never met anyone who heals on the level he has – but it seems he is in his own bubble of self-praise, because another great (and humble) healer of such magnitude is Barbara Ann Brennan. Perhaps he just hasn’t met healers who heal with the same intensity that he heals because he has not searched for them, because he has not needed them, himself. But they exist – just because one man, Goldsmith, does not know of them does not mean they do not exist.
The idea of being unique/wanting to be unique/separate from the others is a desire that stems from Ego. Our soul signature is certainly unique but at our very essence we are all the same – because we are all One. Christ Consciousness is a remembering of that Oneness. It’s why Jesus said, “Love thy neighbour as yourself.” This is merely the wisdom of the Oneness, it is the acknowledgment of being a finger, with four others beside you, on the hand of God.
Finally, the idea that you require approval to be considered a healer of value is nonsense to me. Of course, like anything else that you call a professional vocation, you need to train, develop, and strengthen your talents as you move into sharing them and helping others. You cannot dive into the deep end without first learning how to swim. But the world needs more healers, not less – so any encouragement to not follow the healer calling within you is downright wrong.
The best way to keep people trapped in illusion is to tell them they’re not good enough to make the planet better. The best way to slow down the advancement of humankind and planet earth is to discourage people from healing it.
So my question is this: Is Goldsmith working for Light? Or is he another one of the Elite, though a wolf in sheep’s clothing in the spiritual space, trying to ensure we get just enough to keep asking for more? I hope the former, with just a little Ego to unravel and dissipate.
I send him love and forgiveness and hope he reevaluates his message, his mindset surrounding healing, and has a deep look at himself and the pedestal he is stepping upon. And I remind you of your own personal power and connection to Source. Trust your inner healer.
