Non-Compromise with the Christ
Non-Compromise with the Christ – In this talk, David Hoffmeister discusses the importance of translation, using the example of Martin Luther translating the gospel from Latin to German, making it accessible to ordinary people. The purpose of translation is to share meaning despite the complexity of languages and cultures. The Holy Spirit’s interpretation is simple, innocent, lighthearted, and accepting, leading to true abundance and happiness.
From Theory to Practice
From Theory to Practice – David Hoffmeister expresses his gratitude for the teachings of A Course in Miracles. He highlights the beauty of a devotional prayer life, sharing personal experiences of how prayer has become a natural essential part of life, guiding decisions and bringing joy. David explains true spiritual practice involves undoing our identity and beliefs, and moving beyond life’s physical and material aspects. Prayer is a way to connect with God through giving, service, and devotion, focusing on what is most helpful for everyone rather than personal needs. The practice of prayer helps to clear the mind of beliefs and thoughts that block the light of truth, leading to a deeper connection with God and a sense of true abundance and happiness.
Bringing It All to the Holy Spirit
Bringing It All to the Holy Spirit – David Hoffmeister starts off by sharing about the power of music to keep the mind in alignment and feeling high. Music is a higher form of communication that goes directly to our hearts, bypassing concept analysis and intellectual maneuverings. David emphasizes the importance of understanding that our union is in our mind and that we share the same Mind with God.
Strawberry Fields Forever
Strawberry Fields Forever – David Hoffmeister ends this year’s Strawberry Fields Festival by talking about the purpose of life, the importance of seeing the world holistically, with faith and trust that everyone will play their part perfectly. The ego attempts to divide the world into roles and categories, organizing it based on a false preference system. There’s no order of difficulty in miracles and no hierarchy of illusions. The focus is on letting Jesus take us deeper into our minds to see the world as a whole.
Crossing Dimensions of Joy
Crossing Dimensions of Joy – David Hoffmiester reflects on Easter and the significance of the cross in Christian culture. Jesus emphasized the vertical and horizontal crossings, stating that the vertical represents alignment with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and the horizontal represents the Earth plane or linear time plane. The present moment is inspired by the vertical, while the past and future are defined by the horizontal. Jesus underscores the transformative power of joy not as a distant reward but as a catalyst for immediate liberation!
It’s a Done Deal!
It’s a Done Deal! – David Hoffmeister shares about the enjoyment of following and opening to God’s Will and the importance of our communication function. Media is a communication tool allowing people to see, read, and listen. The Holy Spirit activates our minds to use this knowledge for a different purpose. The body was created as a symbol of separation in the ego’s fictitious world. Jesus teaches us that the Holy Spirit can transform special relationships into holy relationships and use the body solely as a learning device and communication tool.
No Worries, Mate!
No Worries, Mate! – In this talk, David Hoffmeister begins with the expanding prison ministry. The prisoners are a very receptive audience to the idea of innocence, and when they get released or paroled, they are ready to go and proclaim the good news. The Holy Spirit, the spirit of joy, is the key to bringing these teachings to life. The demonstration of these teachings points to the moment of release and the Kingdom of Heaven. As Jesus said, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, and we must continue proclaiming this good news of innocence. As a popular saying in Australia goes, “No worries, mate!” Our life is all about demonstrating happiness, joy, and the blessing of eternal life!
Trusting in the Present
Trusting in the Present – David Hoffmiester explores the adventure of the present moment. Depend on the Holy Spirit and let Jesus lead the way! It is a process of letting go of the past, the personality-self, and the world of time and space, and living in the simple playful spontaneous experience of this moment!
What Is the Resurrection of the Mind?
What Is the Resurrection of the Mind? – David Hoffmeister discusses the resurrection of the mind, a concept that most people often overlook. The mind is often seen as a mere part of their experience on Earth, with only psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, philosophers, and scientists investing time in discovering it. However, most people are aware of their bodies and thoughts but often feel like they are just reacting to the external world. David suggests that the first step is to remember the mind, which is the focus of the Workbook of A Course in Miracles. He emphasizes the power of thought and that the mind is not private to individuals.
Life Is But a Dream

Praying Without Ceasing
Praying Without Ceasing – In this talk, David Hoffmeister has a profound discussion about going deep into faith and prayer. The prayer of the heart is for purity. The prayer of the mind is to be emptied out of all but God! Beyond the words, beyond time and space, beyond the body and the five senses, the call to God is everything!
The Divine Use of Symbols
The Divine Use of Symbols – In this talk, David Hoffmeister and friend speak from their own experiences, on prayer, manifestation, and the higher purpose we all share. We always need to start where we are at as Jesus takes us higher and higher!
What Is the Holy Spirit’s Curriculum of Joy?
What Is the Holy Spirit’s Curriculum of Joy? – In this session, David Hoffmeister discusses the importance of recognizing that what seems important and valuable in the world is part of a trick or deception to keep us from the present moment. The spiritual journey involves letting them go. In Lesson 133, Jesus teaches us to discern valuable from valueless, that if something will not last forever, it has no value. This helps us understand that gain and loss, winning and losing, success and failure are equally destructive thoughts when put on the timeline.
Walking Home to God Together
Walking Home to God Together – In this session, David Hoffmeister shares many powerful stories about the importance of following guidance. Many times on the spiritual journey, we are asked to take a leap of faith, and all the struggle that we experience comes solely from when we avoid these opportunities. The Holy Spirit is always offering us a loving invitation to join Him in the purpose of awakening, and yet the ego always perceives this as a threat. We must stay open and honest so that we are willing to follow the Spirit instead of the ego. This is how to live a life of joy!
Pray, Listen, and Follow!
Pray, Listen, and Follow! – In this session, David Hoffmeister shares about the idea of the world as a simulation, the dream we dream in secret and the dream we gave away. He explains what was believed with the “tiny mad idea” that is the ego.
