Enjoy this 10 CD set titled Laying Aside Judgment (with Enlightened ACIM Teacher David Hoffmeister). This 10 set CD contains many hours of deep discussions on how to be free of judgment and live a life of trust in Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit.
David Hoffmeister explores advanced spiritual concepts with Course students who are ready to go deeper in their acceptance of metaphysical principles, lay aside judgment and practice true forgiveness.
Laying Aside Judgment, list of subtopics
Disk 1
Holy Spirit’s one meaning equalizes the value of all images / Guilt from ordering, identifying with, unreal thoughts / Preferences assert that form is causative / Responsible NOT for error, only for choosing Correction / Ordering blocks function, happiness / Concept of “my own place” / Clarity only in an instant / Ordering replaces the miracle
Disk 2
The flow of miracle-mindedness / Purpose unifies and eliminates comparison, judgment / The world is not apart from my mind, thinker and thoughts are identical / Ego metaphor: melting ice cube or massive iceberg? / Peace is impossible to the mind that perceives itself in a dualistic world / No change “in the world,” only in the mind
Disk 3
Judgment and the authority problem / Reality is free of all images, concepts / Level confusion, believing images are causative / To heal, replace attention to body symptoms with certain Intention / Only the mind that believes in body, pain, sickness, loss etc. can “see” them
Disk 4
Making light of death / Examining belief in the possibility of sickness / All images are past / One Solution to the many different forms of the one problem / Beliefs or one belief? / Appropriate behavior comes only from right-thinking
Disk 5
A person (body) causes nothing / Uses of body, memory, abilities, all form, by ego, Holy Spirit / To feel deprived of preferences and pursue pleasure is to misidentify with the body \ Mind misidentifies with thinking, personhood, lifestyle, behavior / Consistency is in thinking, intention in mind, not behavior or form
Disk 6
The mind, not the body or “external” circumstance, is the learner, classroom / sexual impulses, celibacy / Sickness retains self-concept and hides causation / Impossibility of sickness - unreal effect of unreal cause / Seeking salvation where it is not / Projecting attachment to ordering thoughts as attachment to form / Laws of God
Disk 7
The mind continuously teaches / The joy of seeing no value in the world / Learning from the experience of holding to Purpose, not from any doing / Doing flows when directed by Purpose; limitations imposed by self-concept / Limitation of “teacher of God” concept when based on behavior / Fearing, hearing, and not trusting Holy Spirit and the “threat” of having to give up self-concept / Reminders and rebukes / No scarcity, competition among ACIM teachers / Cannot be angry at a fact; what IS a fact?
Disk 8
What is/isn’t a fact (continued) / Linear time or now? / Effort and vigilance cease / Jesus as a symbol / Am I dismissing or repressing ego thoughts? / Mistrust / Deep-seated belief in time / Impersonal love is equal, maximal love
Disk 9
Special love / No hypothetical since cause and effect are simultaneous / Equality at mind, not form, level / Talking about grievances, perceptions / In each instant the mind chooses Holy Spirit or ego / “Problems of the world” can be corrected only in the mind, no objective world / One Purpose instead of separate interests brings harmony without compromise
Disk 10
Concept of being violated/invaded / Intention is communicated / Know by my reactions if I have forgiven / Past, attachment to form, relationship, loss / Concept of “guru” / Loose self-concept by uncovering it / Focus on Purpose and care is taken of everything / The healer’s mind overlooks symptoms and petitions the mind of the patient

David began his journey to spiritual enlightenment in 1986 when he encountered A Course in Miracles and recognized it as the tool he had been seeking for a radical transformation of his mind and perceptions. In the early years David studied the Course with passionate intensity, often reading it for eight or more hours a day. After two years of this study, David began to seek the company of other students of ACIM, attending as many as five groups a week. He was startled to find that a Voice was speaking through him with great authority, so that many began referring their questions to him.
Among family members, friends and teachers, David was always known for questioning everything, rather than accepting conventional answers. Thus he was delighted to find in the Course support and encouragement from the Voice of Jesus for his careful examination of every idea, belief, concept and assumption in his mind. Jesus became David's internal teacher, answering his every question, guiding him to hand over the day-to-day management of all relationships, circumstances and events in his life, and providing inner discernment.
In 1991 David was impelled to make another leap of trust and to begin traveling around the United States and Canada, sharing his clarity of understanding related to A Course in Miracles. He followed Jesus' instructions to "become as a child", allowing himself to be totally dependent on the Holy Spirit for money, transportation, shelter, food and the words to speak in countless ACIM gatherings, churches, metaphysical and spiritual groups and a host of holy encounters with persons who knew nothing of the Course. David found that it was his constant joy and peace that was the best teacher in all encounters, and that it was this peace that all his brothers and sisters were seeking. The Voice of Jesus told David – as it instructed the apostles 2,000 years before, "Freely you have received; freely give." Thus David has never charged for his time, teaching or any of the many materials he gives away, but has been supported entirely by love offerings. In all his years of traveling and sharing the wisdom of Christ, David has become a living demonstration of the principles of A Course in Miracles, such lessons as:
"I am sustained by the Love of God." "I am the light of the world." "I will step back and let him lead the way." "In my defenselessness my safety lies." "God's will for me is perfect happiness."
David learned through countless miracles that he could perfectly trust the Holy Spirit to provide for him and guide him through every situation. Everything he seemed to need to accomplish his purpose as a teacher of God was given without his making any effort whatever. Several hermitage experiences helped David to free his mind from ego chatter and enter into deep Silence, where he ultimately experienced Enlightenment.
