What Is the Only Lesson to Be Learned? – David shares in twenty minutes how helpful it is to see the impossibility of change and the reality of the changeless. And this recognition comes from changing your mind about your mind by realizing the Mind’s changeless reality. Call this reality “spirit” or “Love” or “Oneness” or “eternity,” by whatever name, reality does not change. And this Identity in God remains the same eternally as spirit.
How Do I Stay Consistently Connected? – In this brief session, David and friends answer questions from participants. Topics range from motherhood to attending Course groups and connecting with mighty companions.
What Does It Mean to Rest in God? – In this online retreat experience, David will lead us through some of the key topics: mighty companions, trust, preferences, the definition of sin, resting in God and forgiving the monkey mind.
What Is Our True Function? – David Hoffmeister takes us on a joyful deep dive into the question of “What is our true function?” And in order for us to raise our awareness to be one with God, we need a lot of help. Jesus is a symbol of that help. Jesus completed his part and accepted the Atonement for himself. He is the first miracle, the last miracle, and all the miracles in-between. Therefore, it’s good for us to call on him and trust that he’s got us covered in the end, despite what we think of ourselves right now. David also provides answers to how to empty the mind and what true helpfulness is.
Married to God – David introduces us to how the Holy Spirit uses symbols, such as rings on our fingers, temporary representations, not an actuality. And these symbols direct our attention, but the Love is what’s important. In this gathering, we also explore guilt that is associated with behaviors, as part of the unholy trinity: guilt, anger, and fear. David reminds us that it is not helpful to try to bring the light into the projected world. It doesn’t work that way; we have to bring the thoughts and beliefs in our mind into the light within, and then they disappear.
Paradise Is a State of Mind – In this retreat, David and friends share the awakening experience of being in alignment with God, with practical examples. They talk about how the world was made by the ego as a distraction from the Spirit, and how to unplug from the concepts of the world and become free of burdens in the mind. Lightheartedness and freedom are not dependent on circumstances or things being a certain way in the world.
