What Is the Art of Listening?
“The Art of Listening” Online Retreat: Opening Session—What Is the Art of Listening?
In this opening session, David guides us on how to hand over the strings of the puppet, how to pray to wake up, and the art of inner listening! He also talks about how miracles collapse time and how decisions and choices are all in the mind.
Gold Nugget:
“It’s just a beautiful idea that if you give yourself so fully over to the Spirit, if you, as they say in Christianity, if you become ‘drunk on the Lord,’ that everything is taken care of, everything, down to the most minor detail is handled, just for you to connect with and to merge with the Lord of the dance. That is the point of everything! That’s why we work on inner listening. That’s why we have these discussions. That’s why we extend all these resources and talks. It’s all about giving yourself over to the divine and connecting, and then beholding the world in a whole new way, not a fragmented way, not a sense of disconnection or separation, but this glorious unified dance of this new perception. So the reason we share these things is because we’re so into the practical, of starting with whatever you’re perceiving. It doesn’t matter what you’re perceiving. But as we go deeper and deeper inward, and it starts to clear away the cobwebs and clear away these false constructs and beliefs, you get lighter and lighter, you feel more like the light of the world, you feel more expansive.
And to give you a context for how this is going to go, Jesus says that the Holy Spirit exchanges concepts, so in other words, the roles, the way you define yourself right now will become loosened and expanded with new self-concepts that come in, guided by the Holy Spirit, and taking you higher and higher and higher in awareness towards forgiveness, towards this dance I’m talking about, this unified experience. But that’s why you have to let the Holy Spirit guide you. Because the Holy Spirit is the one that gives you the roles, gives you the assignments, tells you where to go, tells you what to do, tells you who to call, tells you who to email, to be in contact with, who to phone. And, these guided, given assignments and given directions and instructions are absolutely essential to activate this wake-up mechanism. In fact, if you’re not listening to the Holy Spirit, by default you’re listening to the ego! The ego wants to keep you asleep and dreaming and believing that you’re stuck in time and space and separate from God and separate from each other. And the Holy Spirit’s miracles and collaborations and self-concepts coming in, they take you higher and higher and higher in awareness!”

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.
