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.
A Prayer for Healing – David Hoffmeister reminds us the chapel, the monastery, the church, and religion all mean the same thing. It means experience. It is the state of our heart and the state of our mind. It is not a structure. It is not an institution. It is not a theology. It has no history and no future. This instant is the only time there is. We pray together for God to use our perception so that perception may disappear.
Going Beyond Sickness – David speaks about the need to release all false self-concepts and answers a set of questions in-depth about sickness and living an inspired life instead of one based on fear of consequences.
It’s All About Intuitive Presence – In this session, David Hoffmeister discusses the spiritual journey, a lifelong journey of prayerful presence and deep connection. He talks about the importance of letting go of anything hidden and letting it move through, the importance of authenticity and accepting emotions rather than trying to hide them.
Living Without Expectations – David Hoffmeister explores in detail what it means to practice living every day without expectations. This means letting go of all outcomes and ideas of getting anything. In order to keep our heart open, we need to be vigilant for the beautiful gift that Jesus is offering us in every moment. When we let go of all expectations and all ideas of how things should appear and what should happen, this brings the mind into a sense of focus on the present, releasing fear of consequences and our past conditioning. Then we can rest in the trust that everything that happens is for one reason only: our present joy!
