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 – 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.

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!

Give Up Nothing for Everything! – In this session, the theme of the holy instant is explored, as it is difficult for humans to accept holiness in a world of linear time. The Holy Spirit helps us see the whole picture, allowing us to forgive ourselves and walk day by day, moment by moment, in trust.
