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.

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.
