David Hoffmeister, modern-day mystic, began his journey to spiritual awakening in 1986 when he encountered A Course in Miracles (ACIM) 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 an inner Voice (Spirit, Jesus, or inner Presence) for his careful examination of every idea, belief, concept, and assumption in his mind. This Presence 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 the inner Voice as he was guided to “become as a child,” allowing himself to be totally dependent on this invisible Presence 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.
