NON DUAL TEACHERS

Among the many non dual teachers around the world, there are none who speak quite like David Hoffmeister. Here is an transcript from a recent talk David gave called “Let Go and Let God."

You can't go wrong with “Thy Will be done.” We were talking to Maria about all these things that were unfolding, about possibly buying a property down here and everything clicking in, the donation and everything, but still ... we haven't heard back. But the prayer is always: “Thy Will be done.” So we can rest content in that.

It's so peaceful, it's so simple, it's so relaxing. And it's not a prayer for outcomes of the world. It's a prayer for our state of mind, and it's a prayer to know God's grace and God's love, to know our Will in Heaven.NON DUAL TEACHERS

But I feel like if any of you have studied any non dual teachers, or any Eastern philosophies, like the Buddha for example... you know the Buddha talked about emptying the mind. There's a great focus on that. And even with Advaita Vedanta, Ramana Maharshi... a lot of fantastic non-dual pathways are saying: empty your mind, empty your mind of the contents of consciousness.

There's not really like some kind of positive goal that's in the world with these pathways. You don’t see Buddhists that shave their heads who've got their orange robes on thinking "Ah! I'm almost there!" as if some outcome in the world will make them happy.

And I think A Course in Miracles is really pretty much the same way. That's why we say: "Thy Will be done, God's Will be done." I would say it's not only the safest prayer, but it's just the only prayer. It's the only prayer there is, ultimately.

But we have to gain confidence in it. We have to gain trust in it. We have to feel the miraculous experiences of that state of mind, maybe first just glimmers of that state of mind in order to go, "Mmmm ... Thy Will be done, God's Will be done."

This is not what most non dual teachers teach, and so this is where I would say the Course takes us beyond traditional non-duality. It seems to be dualistic in its language, but only for the purpose of leading us to where we've always been; the awareness that we already have everything, we already are everything, and we have always been. I think we can all feel deep resonance with that.

Last Day on Earth Hack

Despite the fact that it seems outlandish, over the eons, glaciers may have made Earth hotter, another study suggests. Researchers took an information driven jump into the mechanics of weathering by glaciation more than millions of years to see how chilly cycles influenced the oceans and atmosphere and keep on doing so. They needed to know how and when chemicals released by weathering of the land achieved the atmosphere and sea, and what impact they have had. Their study shows that glaciation, through upgraded erosion, most likely increased the rate of carbon dioxide released to the earth. The researchers decided upgraded oxidation of pyrite, an iron sulfide also known as trick's gold, most likely produced corrosiveness that encouraged carbon dioxide into the oceans and changed the carbon cycle. The oscillation of glaciers more than 10,000 years could have changed atmospheric carbon dioxide by 25 parts for each at least million. While this is a significant level of t...

A Course in Miracles - People Are Thoughts

Enjoy this excerpt from a transcribed talk from the awakened joyful mind of David Hoffmeister, a profound and uncompromising A Course in Miracles teacher. One of the things I opened up with today is the nondual idea from A Course in Miracles , that people aren't really people, they're just thoughts. If you think about all the struggle and pain and misery in human relationships it's because of the belief that you're a person and that there are other people and they don't go together very well on this planet, or any planet for that matter, any reality, even in science fiction! The Klingons never get on with the Romulans and they never get along with the Borg, you know, even when we're off into Star Trek, in other realms, the beings are not getting along. Even George Lucas; Star Wars, it wasn't star harmony it was Star Wars and the 'dark side' and Darth Vader. It wouldn't make much of a story or a drama if it was - la la la la la la...
