About David Hoffmeister
The Foundation for the Awakening Mind
Posted by aplecompte on April 20th, 2009
David was inspired to seek spiritual Enlightenment and in 1986 he encountered A Course in Miracles. He recognized the Course as the tool he sought to help him transform his mind. As he read it, David found that the Voice of Jesus in the Course supported him in his deep examination of concepts and assumptions. Jesus became David’s internal teacher, answering his every question, and guiding him in the day-to-day management of his life and relationships.
David studied the Course with passionate intensity for several years and attended many Course study groups. The Voice of Jesus provided David with discernment about writings and teachings. Then the Voice of Jesus began to speak through David with authority. People began to refer their spiritual questions to him. David had several retreat experiences during which he was able to free his mind from ego chatter and enter into deep silence. It was in this manner that he ultimately experienced Enlightenment.
In 1991 David was guided to travel around the United States and Canada to share his understanding of A Course in Miracles . He followed Jesus’ instructions to “become as a child,” depending completely on the Holy Spirit for transportation, money, shelter, food and the words he spoke. David conveys a deep sense of peace, love and joy to people in Course gatherings, churches, spiritual groups and holy encounters. The Voice of Jesus told David, “Freely you have received; freely give.” Thus, David has never charged for his time or his teaching. He gives his teaching materials away and is supported only by love offerings.
David has become a living demonstration of the principles of A Course in Miracles :
God’s will for me is perfect happiness.
I am sustained by the Love of God.
I will step back and let him lead the way.
I am the light of the world.
In 1996 David was guided to establish the Peace House in Cincinnati, Ohio. It became a place of meditation and a place where he could welcome those desiring to go deeply within the mind to discover the Christ within.
Holy Spirit guided David to acquire computers and learn Internet technology. The result was the creation of the website, www.awakening-mind.org , which offers many resources related to A Course in Miracles and the metaphysics of Christ.
