A Course in Miracles and Relationships

Enjoy the following excerpt taken from a transcribed talk by A Course in Miracles teacher David Hoffmeister.

You might say that relationships are designed so that specialness, as described in A Course in Miracles, will come up into awareness and then you have another opportunity to make another choice. You have an opportunity to deal with it when it comes up. But you can’t really avoid it. Um, it has been pushed out of awareness already so it has been avoided already. So if you trying to avoid what you have already avoided, you know that’s not going to help…anything. So we’re all about encouraging it actually, encouraging it to come up and with the mind training you start to notice it more. You know you can notice it. And then as you are noticing it, there usually is a sense of ‘Oh golly…I can’t believe I am still so attracted to that. You know again it’s in my face. Again I see it, oh I thought I had seen the last of that. But here it is again and again.’ Not to discourage yourself. Not to fall into depression with it but to see the pattern for what it is and really get beneath the pattern. You know you’re really wanting it to come up. So that is why it seems to get acted out.

And as you are identified with the body, then you believe you’ve done wrong or you’ve lost your way for the hundredth time or whatever. And the Spirit is like going ‘No no no! Don’t go that way, don’t go down that road and start concluding. Just look at the pattern, just look at the thoughts and see what they’re connected to in terms of this ego believe system’. And little by little through miracles and contrast experiences we are shown that don’t really want those egoic patterns. That is just unworthiness acting out again and again and again. After a while you do start to see it without biting the hook, you know without going for it. And there is a sense of empowerment when you can just notice it at first and watch it and watch it. And then you are less hooked into it, you are less emotionally invested in it. Then eventually those hooks and those thoughts and beliefs they just fade from awareness and they are gone. You are no longer haunted by them. They cannot even enter. Your mind gets so riveted on the truth… they cannot even enter. And you experience the inner peace described in A Course in Miracles.

A Course in Miracles Teacher Talks About God, The Bible, Ego, ACIM and Advaita Vedanta

David Hoffmeister— A Course in Miracles Teacher: The Bible told us, "Hold no graven images before the Lord, thy God." It wasn't talking about totem poles or golden calves, like we thought. It was actually talking about anything in time and space that you hold more valuable than God or your true Self. Anything that you hold more valuable than God or our true Self will block you from the awareness of love. Spirit is not a religion or a theology. Spirit and love is a state of mind. You can't know that presence as long as you value anything else besides that presence. That's why with all the commandments; the two that Jesus emphasized was, "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and soul and mind." And, "Love thy neighbor as thy self." Not as a separate entity or a separate being. So, when the song we listened to earlier said, "You literally are your brother. You literally are your sister," it's pointing to all ...

Canada Goose Jeckets , gilets and beanies are world renowned for their warmth and comfort and their down-filled parkas and fur hood bomber jackets have featured in several films and have become normal outwear for film crews on movie stars on location everywhere it is chilly.

A Course in Miracles and Awakening by David Hoffmeister

Enjoy the following excerpt from a transcribed talk given by A Course in Miracles teacher David Hoffmeister. Like the Horatio Alger stories, "Pull yourself up from your disadvantaged past and make something of yourself." That was even an army slogan as I was growing up, "Be all that you can be." Oh great. I think I have better aspirations than going around gunning down people in other countries, but still it was the whole thing. It was no different than trying to improve your life, improve your circumstances, and all the work and all the energy that goes into striving to have a better life. All of it's for naught because still you are dreaming a dream and if you actually begin to grasp this, you will soon get over self-improvement. You will soon get over trying to make the world a better place and all the work; just think of the social services, end world hunger, what do you mean? Who invented world hunger? That's part of a dream. There's nuc...
