There Is No Loss in Awakening
Gold Nugget:
When I first began working with students in the early 1990s, two of the women that were my students were married with children and that was part of their fears too. They would think, If I keep following this what will happen to my children? Also there was a fear of loss of spouse, of career, of house, and others things too. It could be even the fear of leaving a pet behind; a very beloved pet. When I was going to do some travels one time I said to one of my students, ‘Why don’t you come along on the trip and ask the Holy Spirit to help you with this issue?’ And as we traveled around every group that we visited, every household that we stayed in had children. Children would come running up to her and jump in her lap. She was being flooded with affection from children who weren’t her children. I asked her, ‘How does it feel?’ She said it felt good with all these children around. And I replied, ‘That is how the Holy Spirit works using symbols to show there is no loss or sacrifice.’ And it works across the board with everything in perception.
Emily mentioned that book, I Married a Mystic, from my years of traveling with Kirsten. She was from New Zealand so she was used to growing up on a beautiful island and always being surrounded with water. When she came over to America and began traveling all around there and South America with me, everywhere we went there was water: lakes, rivers, streams, pools, indoor pools. She just got so much water.
She also loved ice cream. The ice cream was coming at us from every angle. One time she was feeling very sad and very strange and so I took her to a Dairy Queen ice cream shop in the United States. We walked into the store and we were the only two. So I said to the young man behind the counter, ‘She has never had anything from Dairy Queen ever before in her life!’ He said, ‘Ohhh I’ll tell you what we’ve got!’ And he was so excited. He told her about all the Blizzards and ice creams. Kirsten ate the ice cream and she was happy. So the Holy Spirit works that way. He will send you things that are symbols of the love that is already inside of you.”

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.
