Non-Compromise with the Christ – In this talk, David Hoffmeister discusses the importance of translation, using the example of Martin Luther translating the gospel from Latin to German, making it accessible to ordinary people. The purpose of translation is to share meaning despite the complexity of languages and cultures. The Holy Spirit’s interpretation is simple, innocent, lighthearted, and accepting, leading to true abundance and happiness.
What Is the Resurrection of the Mind? – David Hoffmeister discusses the resurrection of the mind, a concept that most people often overlook. The mind is often seen as a mere part of their experience on Earth, with only psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, philosophers, and scientists investing time in discovering it. However, most people are aware of their bodies and thoughts but often feel like they are just reacting to the external world. David suggests that the first step is to remember the mind, which is the focus of the Workbook of A Course in Miracles. He emphasizes the power of thought and that the mind is not private to individuals.
Praying Without Ceasing – In this talk, David Hoffmeister has a profound discussion about going deep into faith and prayer. The prayer of the heart is for purity. The prayer of the mind is to be emptied out of all but God! Beyond the words, beyond time and space, beyond the body and the five senses, the call to God is everything!
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.
The Simplicity of Now – This moment is perfect just the way it is. It is our meanings and judgments that prevent us from experiencing the gift of fully embracing and uniting with the present moment. This is a profound teaching about time, about the illusion of past and future, and the present moment, the closest approximation to eternity.
