We are not here to compare and contrast concepts or people, we are here to reach a state beyond comparison! Join David Hoffmeister as he addresses some of the common tricks the ego will try to play on you to delay your Awakening...
Do humans (and animals) go through the Awakening process? Is Spirit in matter? Can the infinite become finite? What is good energy and bad energy?
"'At no single instant does the body exist at all. It is always remembered or anticipated.' T-18.VII.3 Jesus also says, that the past is gone, and the future is but imagined. These concerns in the mind are but defenses against present focus. He’s asking us to use the power of our mind to change our focus, and to loosen from all thoughts of the past and all imaginings of the future. Can you imagine the freedom in that!
When we start to practice with this, we have to learn to trust deeply that the Holy Spirit will meet the mind right where it believes it’s at. Let the Holy Spirit use whatever the ego made.
So we are guided to call people, meet people, read something, stop and meditate; that’s still the use of the body thoughts in time, but it’s a way that unwinds us out—instead of deeper in—to the conflict. That’s what I like about the Course, it’s so practical. It’s not saying you have to go live in a cave, on the mountain, or in the woods; it’s just saying you can practice with what you perceive, and what you seem to be thinking about right now."

David shares powerful insights about how clever the ego is in tricking us into believing that the separation from God has occurred. Though the ego is ingenious, ingenuity will never set the mind free to experience our true Identity as Spirit...
There is need for help from beyond the dream, and the Holy Spirit is that help. David speaks with humor and divine clarity about how to let go of this insane thought system of stress and fear and return to our True Identity. He shares helpful ways to trust your intuition, listen to that small still voice, and follow it in order to be unwound from the illusion.
"We have to realize that our mind is waking up. So everything our mind needs will be given. Not everything our "persons" need. Persons are the mask! They have built-in preferences and desires. They are just symbolic representations of wanting something other than God.
You can just look in the mirror and go, Oh, I am looking at a symbolic representation of wanting something other than God. But things are going to change, oh clever one, because 'Toto has pulled the curtain on the wizard.' And once this curtain is pulled, I’m not playing those clever games anymore. I am not going to believe in anything that you taught me, oh cleverness, because as ingenious as you are, you are crazy. You are insane. You are limitation. You are lack. You are deception. You are a death wish. I am not going to follow a death wish anymore!
So, though you may look into the mirror for a moment and go, Well, well, well, what have we here? A solid representation of error that was made by the clever one ... I am going to give it over. I am going to give it over to the Spirit and say to Him, 'Use whatever this clever one made to unwind me from this world. Take me Home! I will listen to You. I will follow You. You are in me as sure as anything is in me. You are the Comforter. You are the one that knows true comfort beyond the suffering of the world. You are the one that knows the way Home.'"

"You have to be clueless of the problems, clueless of the means, and clueless of the outcome. Until you meet the conditions of those three things, there will be misuse of the body and we know what comes from misuse of the body: There will be guilt, there will be fear, there will be doubt, there will be shame.
So without those three conditions being met, the mind must use the body in its plan until it recognizes Itself. But when it has accepted this is true, it is healed and lets the body go.
It’s pointing us to a mystical union with Spirit. Why would you even need a body if you are Spirit? Obviously if the ego made the body, the Holy Spirit can use it while you believe you have it, but it’s not going to be your goal.
Actually you start to realize the mind is healed and you let the body go."
"This is our time to wake up, to see that we can never be harmed, to see how powerful our mind is, to see that we can be the Light of the world; and that this is our function.
Our function is to be happy. And we were not meant to feel guilty or sad.
There is one self which we all share, and that is the Christ. The Christ is not a personality; personality is kind of like wearing a mask. The personality is never the light of the world, and the reason for fear or anxiety is the identification with a personality-self.
We need to be convinced by the Holy Spirit of our spiritual identity which lives forever in heaven. When we forget our spiritual identity and fall asleep, we dream of personalities, we dream of human beings and a world. This is why it takes practice to forgive the idea that we are small and unworthy."
"Jesus is teaching us through the Course—like in that early Workbook Lesson 24—that in no situation do you perceive your own best interests. He doesn't even say 'most situations.' He comes right out and says, in no situation do you perceive your own best interests.
It’s so humbling to come across that in the early Workbook lessons. In the next lesson he says that everything is in your own best interest! It is going to take a lot of mind training to take that one on. That sounds like the Bible: ‘All things work together for good, for them who love the Lord.’ Romans 8:28 In the Course, Jesus says: ‘All things work together for good. There are no exceptions except in the ego’s judgment.’ T-4.V.1
So, prayer is like working with your mind and working with your desires and your thoughts, and then really having an open heart to be shown what is truly helpful; like the prayer at the beginning of the Course: 'I am here only to be truly helpful.' T-2.V.A.18
It is about constantly taking the parameters off; it is about emptying your mind of all these thoughts and concepts of what you believe is best. And, really, when you empty it, you are emptying the altar; you’re saying: Show me. You know the way. You know the way back to Heaven and I don’t. That is why I am here, to pray and listen, because you know the steps to take. You know the choices to make. You will provide the Guidance.
And in the end, as you clear your mind of all these desires for certain specific outcomes, your final prayer can be, 'Father, what is your Will for me?' And that will be answered when you pray that sincerely in your heart."
"There is no universal theology. That’s impossible. But there can and must be a universal experience. So, I got it really quickly that the Course was actually opening up to an experience, and study is just something that human beings do; but that’s just the beginning and isn’t going to get you into Heaven.
I share all the time that Heaven isn’t reached through words. You will not reach Heaven through words. 'Words are but symbols of symbols. They are thus twice removed from reality.' M.21.1.9-10 The Holy Spirit’s use of words can be very, very helpful, but remember in the Course, he actually has a line that a teacher of God '... could heal the world without a word.' P-2.III.3.7 You can’t forget that’s in there.
So, this Course is a beginning and not an end. It’s about setting your mind into alignment with the Holy Spirit, who will direct your mind when you listen to His directions and instructions. He will direct your unlearning.
To me, that was the whole point of A Course in Miracles. I don’t carry the Course around anymore; I don’t consult it. In the beginning I used it as an 'oracle' in my hermitage years.
I would simply pray, ask a question, open the Course, and would always get the most profound answer that would make me speechless. I felt like, This is the greatest thing in the world! I’ve heard of the Greeks with the Delphic Oracle, and here I am in the woods with a blue book that is the greatest oracle that I’ve ever experienced in my life and it’s taking me rapidly higher and higher in awareness—just through my devotion to using it and trusting what was coming through it."
