Self Improvement and A Course in Miracles

The following is an excerpt from a transcribed talk by A Course in Miracles (ACIM) teacher David Hoffmeister. David is internationally renowned for his practical approach to ACIM principles, and his extensive library of A course in miracles offer a spiritual pathway that is both simple and fun!

People who buy products for self improvement are missing the point. A course in miracles, on the other hand, focus on spiritual improvement, improving the real Self. In the Horatio Alger stories, "Pull yourself up from your disadvantaged past and make something of yourself." It was no different than trying to improve your life, improve your circumstances, and all the work and all the energy that goes into striving to have a better life. All of it's for naught because still you are dreaming a dream and if you actually begin to grasp this, you will soon get over self-improvement. You will soon get over trying to make the world a better place and all the work; just think of the social services, end world hunger, what do you mean? Who invented world hunger? That's part of a dream. There's nuclear proliferation, the fight to save the whales, save the dolphins, all of the things that people try to do—eat better, go organic. What does it matter? It’s a dream. It is not going to help.

The only thing you can do with a nightmare is to forgive it. See it, without judgment. See it simultaneous instead of linear and wake up from it. And go back to your eternal nature, which is pure bliss. People say, That sounds boring! It's too boring. But it’s not boring. I am telling you, it is not boring. It is joyful. It is not boring at all.

It seems to be interpreted that way. We get words like, I am more peaceful than I was before. I will tell you. Nothing is a matter of more or less. Everything is absolute. You know, the old thing that used to come from Christianity, “It’s all or nothing. It's all or nothing.” I used to hate that. I'd say, Aw, come on. All or nothing? Black and white? Guess what? Who gets to eat crow? It really is, “All or nothing.” Learn more about this with ACIM products.

And truth is not a matter of degrees, little increments, and moments. The truth is true and only the truth is true and we start to see when you finally make it back to the Beyond all Idols section in the Course, way towards the back of the text, Jesus starts off the section, “What is an idol? Do you think you know?” He asks the question, and he answers, “An idol is for more of something. It does not matter more of what.” Even peace of mind. It does not matter more of what.

So the awakening is not in the script. The awakening is a change in the perspective on the script from linear to simultaneous. So that is what we are talking about.

A lot of times, people will ask, Well, what about Enlightened Beings? What about Jesus? That seemed to be in the script. There seemed to be a point where he started talking like he wasn't a human being anymore. “Before Abraham was, I am.” But remember, it’s the man. The man wasn't enlightened. The man is just a mask. Enlightenment isn't male or female. Enlightenment isn't masculine or feminine. Those are still dualistic concepts that are projected onto the screen and enlightenment itself has nothing to do with masculine or feminine or male or female. Use A course in miracles as a path to enlightenment.

How to find Church on the Hills

In the past when a family was looking for a Church on the Hill they would talk to their friends or maybe check the yellow pages for churches in their area. Then they might visit several of those churches on ths Hills until they find one they like. Church on the Hill Over the last several years Internet search engines have made tremendous improvements in what is called local search; that is the search for businesses or organizations in a specific geographical area. Now if you search for something and include a city in the search phrase you're likely to see results that include a map with some virtual push-pins in it. With one click you can get a phone number, driving directions, and even read reviews of the place of your choice. As a result, people have been ditching their yellow pages in droves and searching online for restaurants, retailers, and even churches. Today someone who is looking for a church - let's call him Bill - will most likely start his search o...
