The Mystical Way - Joel Goldsmith Community for Spiritual Awareness

The Mystical Way is a community for those drawn to Joel Goldsmith’s spiritual message and to the contemplative life. Rooted in the teachings of The Infinite Way, this space offers a gentle path of inner stillness, realised identity, and the direct experience of the Presence without ritual, dogma, or outer authority. It is for seekers who want to live from silence, not belief; from awareness, not effort; and who feel called to unfold truth through meditation, practice and shared inquiry.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to provide information about events and activities in Australia relating to the Infinite Way and the teachings of the Spiritual teacher, healer and mystic Joel S Goldsmith. The site is designed for people interested in communicating with others who are interested in the teachings.

We provide event details and registration information for upcoming events.

About Us

We are a group of students who follow the teachings of the Spiritual teacher, healer and mystic Joel S Goldsmith and the teachings of The Infinite Way. We are based in Sydney and Melbourne. Our work involves organising events that support and share the Infinite Way teachings. We host and promote tape group meetings, small retreats and classes with Infinite Way teachers. We also help connect students around Australia who wish to be in touch with others on the Infinite Way path.

The philosopher Bertrand Russell has a wonderful definition of a mystic. He states, “Mystics gain information from a source other than the known senses. They perceive time as an illusion, they are aware of a fundamental unity to all things, and they perceive evil as an illusion that changes when one shifts one’s field of perception.” ~ History of Western Philosophy

“Spiritual healing is the realization that there is no presence, no power, no mind, no spirit, no soul, no reality, no anything, but God.” — Joel Goldsmith

Joel Goldsmith: The Healer and His Universal Message of Love

Joel Goldsmith (1892-1964) was not just a spiritual teacher; he was a beacon of healing whose message of divine love and oneness has touched and transformed millions of lives across the globe. From his humble beginnings as a pragmatic New York businessman to becoming a world-renowned spiritual guide, Goldsmith’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of direct spiritual experience.

The Healer’s Journey: From Skeptic to Spiritual Channel

Goldsmith’s path to healing began not in faith, but in skeptical inquiry. After witnessing his father’s miraculous recovery through prayer, he embarked on a personal quest to understand the spiritual principles behind such healing. This search led him through various teachings, but it was a profound, life-altering experience in 1946—a state of “conscious union with God”—that unlocked his true calling. From that moment, he became a clear and powerful channel for healing consciousness, dedicating his life to sharing the principles that would become known as The Infinite Way.

The Heart of His Healing Teachings

Goldsmith’s approach to healing was revolutionary. He moved beyond the concept of a distant God who occasionally intervenes, to the revelation of a ever-present God as the very substance of our being.

His core healing principles are simple yet profound:

Healing is a Shift in Consciousness: Goldsmith taught that disease, lack, and fear are not powerful realities, but misperceptions born from the belief that we are separate from God. True healing occurs not by begging God to fix a problem, but by correcting this misperception. When we realize the truth of our oneness with the Divine, this new consciousness naturally manifests as harmony in the body and circumstances.
God Does the Healing: The practitioner does not heal through personal will or power. Instead, they become a transparent conduit for the Infinite Healing Presence. Through silent meditation and inner listening, the individual gets their personal sense of “I” out of the way, allowing the universal Spirit to perform its perfect work.
Love is the Ultimate Healer: At the core of all his work was the principle of Love—not as a sentimental emotion, but as the fundamental, impersonal, and all-inclusive reality of God. To realize this Love is to dissolve the barriers of fear, resentment, and separation that are the root cause of all suffering.

A Beloved Global Figure

Joel Goldsmith’s impact has been immense and enduring. He was a prolific author, leaving behind over 30 books and a vast collection of tape-recorded lectures that continue to be translated and devoured by seekers worldwide.

His gentle demeanor, profound humility, and unwavering conviction made him a beloved figure. He did not seek to create followers, but to empower individuals to find their own direct connection to the Divine. Testimonials of healing physical, mental, and financial poured in from every corner of the globe, not because he performed miracles on people, but because he taught them how to realize the miracle of their own being.

To this day, a vast, informal community of students across all cultures and religions continues to practice his teachings. They find in his words a timeless, practical, and deeply loving guide that leads them from a life of struggle to a life of peace, from sickness to wholeness, and from a sense of loneliness to the joyful awareness of an ever-present God.

His legacy is not an institution, but a living stream of love and healing consciousness, accessible to anyone, anywhere, who is ready to listen within.
