Awakening to True Happiness with David Hoffmeister

Mastery Through Love Part 2 Here we have another very powerful session with David from the Mastery Through Love online retreat. This is the second half of the second day where we go deeper into the core issue that we have a perceptual problem. We look at illness and sickness being in the mind and not in the body, we look at death and what it really means, we also look at the ups and the downs on the spiritual journey. “Healing is accomplished the instant the sufferer no longer sees any value in pain. Who would choose suffering unless he thought it brought him something, and something of value to him? He must think it is a small price to pay for something of greater worth. For sickness is an election; a decision. It is the choice of weakness, in the mistaken conviction that it is strength.” “Healing must occur in exact proportion to which the valuelessness of sickness is recognized. One need but say, “There is no gain at all to me in this” and he is healed. But to say this, one first must recognize certain facts. First, it is obvious that decisions are of the mind, not of the body. If sickness is but a faulty problem-solving approach, it is a decision. And if it is a decision, it is the mind and not the body that makes it. The resistance to recognizing this is enormous, because the existence of the world as you perceive it depends on the body being the decision maker. Terms like “instincts,” “reflexes” and the like represent attempts to endow the body with non-mental motivators. Actually, such terms merely state or describe the problem. They do not answer it.” A Course in Miracles
