A Course in Miracles

Question: What is the core of your teachings compared to those of other teachers?

David Hoffmeister: I will always encourage the release of all personal thoughts and concepts. In “A Course in Miracles” Jesus says "forgive me your illusions," and this instruction I echo now. It means overlook the flesh and accept the Spirit as our Reality. As Christ says in ACIM:

"You see the flesh or recognize the spirit. There is no compromise between the two. If one is real the other must be false, for what is real denies its opposite. There is no choice in vision but this one. What you decide in this determines all you see and think is real and hold as true. On this one choice does all your world depend, for here have you established what you are, as flesh or spirit in your own belief." (T-31.VI.1)

Comparison must be an ego device, for love makes none. Comparison is an attempt to judge between illusions of form. Discernment between right-mindedness (the Holy Spirit's Perspective) and wrong-mindedness (the ego's perspective) is a distinction between purposes in the split mind. I am unable to compare persons (illusions of form), but all my messages convey the helpfulness of right-mindedness and the unhelpfulness of wrong-mindedness. https://youtu.be/bJOqx2M2lXU

Each perspective is a decision, and I demonstrate that right-mindedness is valuable and wrong-mindedness is valueless. For when the ego is raised to awareness, exposed as a death wish, and released, the ego (error) is undone and meaningless. While the ego seems to be believed as real it still seems to be attractive and to offer something. I dispel the ego by demonstrating that it has no value or attraction.
