A Course in Miracles Teachings, All My Needs Are Provided


The following is an excerpt from a transcribed talk by David Hoffmeister, A Course in Miracles teacher, on the topic of not wanting something from the world and experiencing all of his needs being provided.

In the Bible, back in the Songs of David… a lot of people are familiar with the 23rd song.  It is a very famous song … “The Lord is my shepherd.  I shall not want…” and then it goes on in a very beautiful passage that my grandmother used to repeat over and over from memory.  I shall not want.  What does that really mean?  What I would say is that, ultimately, whenever you want anything from the world, the world will want something from you.  And this gets acted out.  When you want something that you do not believe you already have, then that is the belief in lack as it says in A Course in Miracles. When you have lack in your consciousness, then the world is just a reflective mechanism.  It will mirror that back.  It will act out the belief in lack, as if you better do this, you better do that.  You are at the mercy of forces in the world.  And the reason you seem at the mercy of the forces in the world is because of the belief in lack and the belief that you want something from the world.  And oh does the world bite you back.  It is kind of a biting sense in consciousness where something comes… one issue comes up and then another issue and this and that.

So what has been really wonderful for me is my journey with the Spirit has taken me into an awareness that everything that I seem to need is provided… you know, having to become into Divine Providence, into God-dependence, Spirit-dependence.  And the more radically I have done that, the more I have actually experienced that the world is not asking anything from me.  The world just drifts off in your awareness as you start to not want something from it, you know, it leaves you alone.  The world finally does leave you alone.  It is not biting back when you are not having these wants from the world.

ACIM and the Mystical Teachings of Jesus

Following the mystical teachings of Jesus, our approach focuses on the Guidance of the Spirit, which acts as an inner compass allowing the form of the path to be given moment by moment. This is a practical, direct, and single-pointed approach, like ACIM,  a course in miracles  where absolutely everything in our daily lives is used for one Purpose: to come to the experience of true freedom. The Spirit meets us where we believe we are, unwinding and taking us deeper and deeper into an expansion of the mind to the awareness that there is no separate self. Stepping stones were Given to gently bring us along the path into the Present moment, where the idea of a path disappears in the release of all concepts and the recognition that there was never anything wrong (and no path to walk on)! To dive deeper into an experience of prayer with Jesus and to better hear the guidance that is given, sink into  The Mystical Teachings of Jesus  prayer-meditation book compiled by...

Canada Goose Jeckets

The final portion of this accidental marketing success of Canada Goose has, up until quite recently become the scarcity of the goods. For a long time, if a shop ran out of a particular size or style of jacket, it might take quite some time for a replacement order to be filled. While Canada Goose still a relatively exclusive manufacturer, the clothing is currently more widely available in online shops, such as Choice.  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. There is also an extensive assortment of Canada Goose women's coats and coats, including women's parka coats that have a sleek A-line design, fur lined hood along with a suede lining, and there are some very smart looking women's gilets in the scope also. The Canada Goose brand conti...
