The Ego Is a Hypothetical Cosmos

In “A Course in Miracles,” Jesus is basically teaching us that this entire world is a hypothetical world made up by the ego. Just like in the movie “The Matrix,” it is a world that tricks us into believing we exist within time and space as separate bodies so that we would forget our true, eternal nature as Spirit. It is an "as if cosmos," an invented, hypothetical possibility "as if" we could have actually separated from God, which in truth is impossible. The past is impossible, the future is impossible, and only in the present can we discover what's real, which is the happiness, love, and truth within that we have never left nor which has ever left us.

In this morning talk given by renowned spiritual teacher David Hoffmeister at the Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat, many practical ideas are shared about how to awaken to the present and release the mind from fear. The topics of collaboration, service, and living in spiritual community are all discussed in depth, and there is much sharing and questions from the participants.

Recorded August 4, 2019, at the Living Miracles Monastery in Utah.
