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.

A Course in Miracles Teacher Talks About God, The Bible, Ego, ACIM and Advaita Vedanta

David Hoffmeister— A Course in Miracles Teacher: The Bible told us, "Hold no graven images before the Lord, thy God." It wasn't talking about totem poles or golden calves, like we thought. It was actually talking about anything in time and space that you hold more valuable than God or your true Self. Anything that you hold more valuable than God or our true Self will block you from the awareness of love. Spirit is not a religion or a theology. Spirit and love is a state of mind. You can't know that presence as long as you value anything else besides that presence. That's why with all the commandments; the two that Jesus emphasized was, "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and soul and mind." And, "Love thy neighbor as thy self." Not as a separate entity or a separate being. So, when the song we listened to earlier said, "You literally are your brother. You literally are your sister," it's pointing to all the

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 mystic David
