What Is the Divine Law of Love?
In Present Trust, All Needs Disappear and Only Love Remains—What Is the Divine Law of Love?
David shares the experience of divine Mind behind the Workbook Lesson: “I am sustained by the Love of God.” W-50 Trust and faith combine into a sustaining experience of care and safety and security that are not of the body or linear time. Miracles light the way, and darkness fades and disappears. Peace of Mind requires no thoughts of the past or future, which are unreal memories and imagined fictitious outcomes only found in dreams. Reality beckons through the present moment and beyond to a continuity of spirit and everlasting life in God.
Gold Nugget:
“If you surrender and yield into divine guidance, you will be carried along so gently, so easily, so softly. And what you experience is your life in this world will feel more like a magic carpet ride. As the song says, ‘A whole new world. A new fantastic point of view.’ (Aladdin, “A Whole New World”) You will be carried along. You will have synchronicities. You will have miracles. You have a sense of divine flow. And you are that flow, and everything around you witnesses to this beautiful divine flow. What is gone is all sense of the past, all rules and laws of the past, all sense of limitation, all belief in lack. You are no longer bound by the laws of economics, the laws of reciprocity, the laws of ‘I’ll do this for you if you do this for me.’ The laws of exchange. All the symbols of the world are just given softly as reflections and reminders of this presence of Spirit: all is well; all is good. Right-minded seeing can see only perfection. So this state of care, the care of love radiates to everything and everyone, and that’s where you see all things working together for good. That’s where you see that there are no exceptions to this divine law, as this divine law is for everything and everyone. And the only thing you have to let go of to experience this divine flow is the sense of the past. See no past, and anyone see no past, and anything come with this new moment of fresh, clear, sparkling perspective that is untouched by the past. This is what convinces you of the divine law of Love.”

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.
