David Hoffmeister Classics

Jesus used parables to teach the masses. Similarly the Holy Spirit can use movies in an extremely helpful way to teach and help us heal. For example, The Great Gatsby is a wonderful movie for looking right at the intensity, possessiveness and hatred that are parts of our special "love" relationships. What are we pursuing in this world? In pursuing love in form we go astray. There is no substitute...

There really is another way of looking at the world. It's possible to achieve a state of mind where nothing disturbs you. Things that may once have had you in terror can be looked at calmly and even with a sense of wonder. You are totally worthy of living and being in a consistent state of peace. Nothing else is worth the slightest effort.

Distorted perception is the illness. Sickness is thinking you are a person and the healing is accepting that you are the Christ. Enjoy some fun and insightful parables in this talk from David, Nikita, Jason and Helena.

David talks about the 23rd Psalm, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want...." Present Peace is what you Truly desire. Wanting for anything in this world will never bring you peace or contentment but only illusions. We are talking about a state of mind that is so fulfilled in what it actually is that there is no need to desire or want anything else.

The deeper you go into the experience of pure joy and peace, you come into the experience of the nothingness of this world. The things that we consider worth pursuing as human beings don't amount to anything. It is safe to let go of everything you have believed in. And the further you allow yourself to sink into this emptiness, paradoxically all you experience is FULLNESS!

To see no error is a state of mind you can only be in through joining with the Holy Spirit. Human beings are not capable of seeing without error. The five senses were made to always notice error. So we need to sink deep into our minds in order to experience this state. Any darkness in the mind does need to be released. Once this purification has occurred all the love and gratitude in our hearts wi...

Here is another fun parable from David's early days of traveling. The joy is really in following the Guidance even if it seems absurd! This story also highlights the importance of keeping an open mind, something Jesus says in ACIM is often the last characteristic a Teacher of God acquires.

Enjoy this parable in the life of David that is literally cascading with miracles! When you serve God whatever you seem to need will be provided without your effort.
