Belief in God Is Unnecessary – Going Deeper Retreat Day 2—Do I Have to Believe in God?

The heart of this retreat lies in understanding true perception leads to the real world, the happy dream. So simply tune in to your internal teacher, listen and follow. The curriculum is uniquely tailored, acknowledging the individualized nature of the spiritual path. Discern between the right mind inspired by the Holy Spirit and the wrong mind driven by the ego. Recognize the illusions of the wrong mind, and embrace the joyous journey of awakening!
Gold Nugget:
“In order to come to the real world, or the happy dream, or the forgiven world, true perception, it’s only required that you tune in to your internal teacher, and that you listen and follow. That is the only thing that is really required. There are so many forms of the illusion, and you might say the way that plays out in the Course is that the curriculum is highly individualized. So this is not the kind of thing where you try to take the curriculum like a cookie cutter approach and you try to apply it to everybody around you in the same way. It is highly individualized.
And with the Course, it is basically trying to help us discern between what Jesus calls the right mind and the wrong mind, the right mind of the Holy Spirit or the wrong mind of the ego, and in a split mind, which is what a sleeping mind is, a mind that is split or divided, between these two different purposes. The only thing that you need to experience is a clear discernment between the right mind, which is inspired by the Spirit, and the wrong mind, which is a death wish. Because as soon as we can see a death wish for what it is, and we’re not fooled by all of its changing forms, and its tricks and mirrors, and its cleverness, then we begin to laugh. Because we think, Huh, that’s not worth believing in at all.”

I Taught the World to Teach Me
I Taught the World to Teach Me – In this session, David Hoffmeister emphasizes the importance of loyalty to the Spirit, the inner teacher, over personal desires and external opinions. This loyalty stems from truth and a deep connection with the Holy Spirit, not the ego’s demands. David shares parables of taking full responsibility for our state of mind by recognizing that we taught the world to teach us. By keeping this empowering thought in mind, it’s possible to remember that we don’t need to wait for externals to choose to be happy.
Coming Together with the Purpose of Healing
Coming Together with the Purpose of Healing – David Hoffmeister explores the perceptual problem, which pertains to the belief that the subject and the object are different, that the observer is different from the observed, and that the personality-self is different from the world that surrounds it. When we see an issue in the world, it really is just a split in the mind. This belief can result in significant problems such as conflict, climate change, and hunger, all of which can be traced back to the division within the mind. “Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved,” (W-79) and “Let me recognize my problems have been solved.” W-80 By examining the projected world, we often fail to identify the core problem because it manifests in many forms. You may resolve a few problems today, only to encounter more tomorrow. Therefore, the key lies in our perspective, which stems from our interpretation.
Relax, Step Back, and Unwind from the World
Relax, Step Back, and Unwind from the World – David Hoffmeister shares about the importance of placing the future in God’s hands, a concept that requires enormous trust. This trust is crucial as we have been conditioned to learn the past and plan the future. Trust is the foundation of a teacher of God and allows us to relax and feel divine ease. During this profound talk, David also gives an overview of the very first Strawberry Fields Festival in 2009. Jesus tells us to go from nightmares to waking with a transition between happy dreams and gentle waking. This process helps us feel softer and gentler, making the struggle and challenge easier. Enjoy this deep discussion with the participants that goes deep and yet fun.
Opening to Deeper Prayer
Opening to Deeper Prayer – David Hoffmeister begins this 4-day Japan retreat by exploring the concept of undoing the self-concept—a conditioned expectation that obstructs our understanding of the world. The ego arises from the mind’s pursuit of self-improvement, crafting illusory goals that keep the mind preoccupied and detached from its boundless nature. The ego’s game is endless, as it neither begins nor concludes. The purpose of our practice is to abandon the pursuit of temporal goals and relinquish the false identity—the mask of the ego. In doing so, we experience the mind’s all-encompassing nature, recognizing that the world, society, and everything once perceived as external are within the mind. As the mind reaches a state of rest, the external world reflects this peace, becoming more harmonious.
A Path of Gentle Letting Go
A Path of Gentle Letting Go – In this session, David Hoffmeister speaks about Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, focusing on self-actualization as the top goal. This concept is based on the Greek belief that ‘know thyself’ is the ultimate goal of human development. The ego attempts to deny this through hypnotism, mesmerism and imagination, covering the truth with unreal images. Atonement, the correction, is the awareness that the separation never happened.
Teaching the Holy Instant
Teaching the Holy Instant – At the beginning of this talk, David Hoffmeister discusses the concept of choice and the duality of life. We seem to live in a world of duality, where one of the primary goals is to find a life partner. We can see even that is dualistic because even a successful life match involves two, while reality involves only one.
