David Hoffmeister in Spain - 3rd. Session - Sunday Morning - Weekend Retreat, Malaga - Oct. 20, 2024
In this Sunday morning session at the Malaga Weekend Retreat David talked among other things about that Abraham Maslow developed a hierarchy of needs, focusing on self-actualization as the top goal. This concept is based on the Greek belief that "Know thyself" is the ultimate goal of human development. The ego attempts to deny this through hypnotism, mesmerism, and imagination, covering the truth with unreal images. Atonement, the correction, is the awareness that the separation never happened. Jesus' teachings on forgiveness are not about forgiving people for their actions. It's about forgiving your mind's belief for what you believe they did.
The belief in linear time is at the bottom of all beliefs, as it is the great riddle of the ego. The belief in the body, another illusion, is a system of balances and counterbalances that are not real. To understand this, one must first test their emotions, such as happiness or upset. How do I feel? That's a very important test. Am I happy, supremely happy, or am I upset? The degree or the direction of the upset does not matter. Am I irritated, annoyed, or am I enraged? Do I feel just a little bad, or do I feel extremely guilty and shameful? Jesus is saying, "Upset is just upset." And He's going to have to teach us that upset is an illusion. If God is love, if Christ is love, if heaven is love, where does upset fit into love? It doesn't fit. It must be that it is some kind of strange illusion.
