Gold Nugget:

“Instead of focusing on means in form, which oftentimes is where the questions start, let us open up to the idea that the miracle is the means. The miracle is the means. We cannot possibly experience the Love of God without going through a ‘miracle-working phase’ where you totally give yourself over to the miracle. You throw caution to the wind—big wind. Throw the caution to the wind and go for that without reservations; with no reservations, with no hesitations!

Oftentimes too, people will say things like, “I have responsibilities. I would love to just be a miracle worker but I’ve got responsibilities. Jesus, I’ve got duties; duties and responsibilities. I’ve got heavy duties that are weighing me down.” Well, let’s take a look at those ‘heavy duties’ and ‘responsibilities,’ because actually, the ego set this world up as a trap for the mind to keep the mind in guilt. And A Course in Miracles is teaching us that our sole responsibility as miracle worker and our sole responsibility as a teacher of God is to accept the Atonement for ourselves. Sole! S-O-L-E! Only! It means we have only one responsibility and I am not telling people to abdicate responsibilities, but I am asking, why don’t we turn our attention toward what we are being asked to do? And actually we are not only being asked, we are being instructed.

It is an amazing thing to be asked to do something and invited, but then when you get the instructions, maybe you have the same feeling I had when I first opened the Course book—I thought, I’ve got no excuses now.

So, it seems to take a leap, just like with anything in this world; even when people are starting up a business, starting up a family, starting up anything in this world, it seems to take a leap of faith with that. And I would say it is the same with miracles. It’s going to take a leap of faith to jump-start this cataclysmic explosion in the mind of the miracle that just goes cascading and cascading.”

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.
