A Course in Miracles David

David began his journey to spiritual Awakening in 1986 when he encountered A Course in Miracles and recognized it as the tool he had been seeking for a radical transformation of his mind and perceptions. In the early years, David studied the Course with passionate intensity, often reading it for eight or more hours a day. After two years of this study, David began to seek the company of other students of ACIM, attending as many as five groups per week. He was startled to find that a Voice was speaking through him with great authority, so that many began referring their questions to him.
Among family members, friends, and teachers, David was always known for questioning everything, rather than accepting conventional answers. Thus, he was delighted to find in the Course support and encouragement from the Voice of Jesus for his careful examination of every idea, belief, concept, and assumption in his mind. Jesus became David’s internal teacher, answering his every question, guiding him to hand over the day-to-day management of all relationships, circumstances, and events in his life, and providing inner discernment.
In 1991, David was impelled to make another leap of trust and began traveling around the United States and Canada, sharing his clarity of understanding related to A Course in Miracles. He followed Jesus’ instructions to “become as a child,” allowing himself to be totally dependent on the Holy Spirit for money, transportation, shelter, food, and even the words to speak at countless ACIM gatherings, churches, metaphysical and spiritual groups, and a host of holy encounters with people who knew nothing of the Course. David found that it was his constant joy and peace that was the best teacher in all encounters, and that it was this peace that all his brothers and sisters were seeking. The Voice of Jesus told David, as it had instructed the apostles 2,000 years before: “Freely you have received; freely give.” Thus, David has never charged for his time, teaching, or any of the many materials he gives away, but has been supported entirely by love offerings. In all his years of traveling and sharing the wisdom of Christ, David has become a living demonstration of the principles of A Course in Miracles, such as the following lessons:
“I am sustained by the Love of God.” (ACIM, W-50)
“I am the light of the world.” (W-61)
“I will step back and let Him lead the way.” (W-155)
“In my defenselessness my safety lies.” (W-153)
“God’s Will for me is perfect happiness.” (W-101)
David was guided to a small house in 1996. It became a place of quiet and meditation between travels but also a place where he could welcome those desiring to step back from the world and go deeply within the mind to discover the Christ within. David’s time at the Peace House opened a new phase of his ministry as Holy Spirit guided him to acquire computers and use internet technology. The result was the making of a number of websites. His main website, Foundation for the Awakening Mind, today offers a huge array of resources related to A Course in Miracles and the metaphysics of Christ. Spiritual truth-seekers can subscribe to David’s e-group, AwakeningInChrist, where for several years he answered the questions sent to him from all over the world. This online group now serves as a global mailing list to announce Foundation events and new resources as well as David’s travel schedule.
Always a lover of music, and seeing it as a path to God in its own right, David has set up a number of Musicians Pavilions on his website highlighting a variety of artists who share spiritual ideas through music. Also available on the site are video clips of television interviews he has done, audio recordings of gatherings and teaching sessions, searchable archives, and writings such as Mind Overhaul, Purpose Is the Only Choice, and the Movie Watcher’s Guide To Enlightenment (David sees movies as another helpful path to God).
While the internet ministry was unfolding, a friend was inspired to establish a non-profit organization, the Foundation for The Awakening Mind, which now serves as a framework for coordinating all aspects of the ministry and for handling larger donations. All donations help David continue to share the experience of Christ’s Divine Love or Perfect Oneness.https://www.facebook.com/acourseinmiraclesdavid/

A Course in Miracles and the Movies

Enjoy the following excerpt taken from a transcribed talk by  A Course in Miracles  teacher David Hoffmeister. It’s very much like when you go to a movie theatre, you are going to watch a movie. It's already been shot. It’s in the can. It’s being projected. You can't change what is happening in the movie. Well, they actually are coming out with movies now where you can, but for this metaphor, we are talking about the last decade of films, black and white. etc. You can't change it. People do talk to the screen. Like, Don't go down that hallway. Don't go in there! Don't go in there. Don't. Get away from him. You know it’s a bunch of images on a screen but they are talking to them as if they were real people. That's the mesmerism of this whole world; forget that you are dreaming, watching a movie and become so identified with the characters, you really believe that they are real characters that can hear you. Jesus talks of that in  A Cours...
