David Hoffmeister has touched the lives of thousands with his consistently peaceful state of mind, radiant joy, and dedication to Truth. He is a modern-day mystic who has been invited to 44 countries and 49 states to share the message of Love, oneness, and freedom. His journey involved the study of many pathways, culminating in a deeply committed practical application of A Course in Miracles (ACIM). His immersion was so total that when he put the book down, to his surprise, the Voice of the Course continued speaking to and through him.

David was always known for questioning everything rather than accepting conventional answers, thus he was delighted to find in A Course in Miracles, support and encouragement 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. David stepped back and “… let Him lead the way” (ACIM, W-155), withdrawing all investment in the ego and the world.

David Hoffmeister Wikipedia and Online Resources
While many seekers look for biographical details or historical facts via David Hoffmeister’s Wikipedia page, the true depth of his work is found in his living demonstration—one rooted in simplicity, devotion, and trust. His approach embraces practicality in all things, extending even to his love of movies as a modern spiritual path.

One of David’s books, The Movie Watcher’s Guide to Enlightenment (MWGE), has since expanded and developed into an online searchable database of movie audio and/or video commentary and reviews on the best spiritual movies on the planet. You can search for themes and emotions, and find practical mind tools to help use these movies for awakening. David sees movies as another helpful and fun pathway to God!

A Life Given to Spirit
In 1996 David was guided to a small house in Cincinnati, Ohio, called the Peace House, where he welcomed those desiring to step back from the world, share in a life given to Spirit, go deeply into the mind to experience the miracle of forgiveness, and discover the Christ within. Living Miracles Center communities have since sprung up in Utah, Canada, Spain, Mexico, and Australia. Under David’s living demonstration of taking A Course in Miracles all the way, those devoted to Awakening have come together to join in living the steps laid out in ACIM for unwinding the mind out of the world and back to God. They join David in extending his non-compromising teachings through a vast internet ministry, audio/video media forums, written publications, inspirational gatherings using music and movies for Awakening, live-stream web events, and a “Strawberry Fields Music Festival and Enlightenment Retreat.”

David has shared his insights on many spiritual talk shows and radio programs. The multiple forums through which David Hoffmeister freely shares his heart allow those with a deep call to connect from wherever they find themselves.

For those who desire to experience the miracle of forgiveness, and feel that enlightenment in this lifetime is possible, David Hoffmeister is pure inspiration. His gentle demeanor and articulate, non-compromising expression touches all who listen.

Awakening requires the dismantling of all that we made as a cover over the Light that “I Am.” As David Hoffmeister did, we must invite the Holy Spirit in to unwind our mind from all ideas, concepts, and beliefs—everything we think we think, and think we know—until all that is left is the Love that we are. David Hoffmeister’s life is a living demonstration of the Awakened Mind.

The Experience of a Modern-Day Mystic
David describes the transition into a life of complete surrender:

“My presence hasn’t changed in many years. I retired when the body was 34. I gave the body and the mind and everything over to Jesus. Jesus told me this would happen. He told me, ‘You won’t have a career.’ And at that point—it was 1991—I was hearing Jesus’ voice on a daily basis, instructing me in a very conversational tone. It made my life extremely easy; never had a difficult decision to make. For myself, I was told where to go, who to meet, what to do, what to say—very, very practical.

In that year, Jesus said, ‘Now you are mine. You have no life of your own. No future ambitions. No future goals.’ That was the end of my human will. And with it came a very deep peace that seemed to grow stronger in those early years. It got deeper and deeper. Like I was watching a movie. Like the world was a fairy tale. I wasn’t striving to make anything different. I didn’t have any motive to convince anybody of anything. I was just in a deep acceptance. Then the gifts of the Spirit started coming very strong and in many different ways, like using music and movies. I still marvel at how the symbols get used. I never take anything for granted. It always seems amazing and marvelous. We can all learn from the mystical teachings of Jesus.”

Devotion to Inner Peace
In an era that often prioritizes external achievements, constant stimulation, and emotional turbulence, it is rare to find individuals who have completely dedicated their existence to inner peace and spiritual awakening. David Hoffmeister stands out as one of these rare teachers, serving as a living example of what it means to live in surrender, trust, and forgiveness. For over thirty years, he has committed himself to the practical application of A Course in Miracles (ACIM), guiding students toward genuine inner freedom.

David’s path began with an intense desire to find truth beyond standard societal beliefs. This dedication led him to fully embrace the principles of ACIM, not merely as a philosophy to be studied, but as a way of life. By applying these teachings to every aspect of his daily experience, he allowed Spirit to direct his decisions, proving that peace is possible in every moment.

The Early Years of Unlearning
The spark of David’s spiritual unfolding ignited in 1986. Upon encountering A Course in Miracles, he recognized it immediately as the catalyst he had been searching for to facilitate a radical shift in perception. In those initial years, his study was characterized by passionate intensity, often dedicating eight hours a day to absorbing the material. Eventually, this solitary study blossomed into a need to connect with others, leading him to attend multiple groups a week. It was during this period that a Voice began to speak through him with unmistakable authority, leading others to naturally direct their questions toward him.

Even before his deep dive into metaphysics, David possessed an innate skepticism of conventional answers. Consequently, he was overjoyed to discover that the Course provided a structure for dismantling every assumption and concept held in the mind. With Jesus as his internal guide, he learned to surrender the management of his life, relying on inner discernment rather than external logic.

Radical Reliance on Spirit
By 1991, this guidance impelled David to take a leap into what could be called “Christ-dependency.” Traveling extensively across the United States and Canada, he shared the clarity of his understanding. He lived the instruction to “become as a child,” relying entirely on the Holy Spirit for shelter, transportation, and sustenance. He never charged for his time or his teaching, trusting instead that he would be sustained by Love. This period served as a testing ground proving that one can perfectly trust the Holy Spirit to provide for every need without effort.

A Global Ministry Without Borders
As the years progressed, the Peace House became a hub for those wishing to retreat from the world, but it also served as the launchpad for a digital ministry. Today, David continues to travel the globe, shining the Light of God’s Love wherever there is an invitation. For those interested in a David Hoffmeister Wikipedia profile, the most essential fact is not the list of countries visited, but the energy of inspiration that pours through him, offering a living testament to the joy of Divine Oneness.

The Practice of Forgiveness
Central to David’s teachings is the concept of forgiveness. In the context of A Course in Miracles, this does not mean pardoning a sin that became real, but rather correcting the perception that a sin occurred at all. Through his retreats, online gatherings, and direct guidance, David shows how this profound metaphysics can be applied to finances, health, and relationships. He creates an environment where students can realize that peace is not an acquisition, but a natural state that returns when barriers are removed.

Those interested in diving deeper into his work, or who have searched for a David Hoffmeister Wikipedia entry, will find that his involvement with the Living Miracles Center offers a practical framework for this transformation. It is a community defined not by hierarchy, but by a shared purpose of waking up from the dream of separation.

Extending the Message Globally
As the internet ministry unfolded, it became clear that a structure was needed to support the vast extension of materials. This led to the establishment of Living Miracles, a non-profit organization designed to coordinate the distribution of resources and manage the donations that keep this work freely available. This organization allows David to continue sharing the experience of Divine Love without commercial constraints. Through this platform, a huge array of digital resources, including searchable archives of Questions & Answers and extensive video libraries, has been made available to truth-seekers worldwide.

In alignment with the principle of “Freely you have received; freely give,” David has ensured that the wisdom of Christ is accessible to everyone, regardless of their location or financial status. This vast digital ecosystem serves as a modern-day cloister, offering a circle of support where anyone can tap into the teachings of A Course in Miracles and the metaphysics of Christ at any time.

A Symphony of Collaboration
David’s ministry is not a solitary endeavor but a collaborative symphony. Always a lover of music, he views it as a direct path to God, bypassing the intellect to touch the heart. This passion has inspired numerous musicians and artists to join the mission, sharing the presence of Love through song and creativity. The community that has formed around David is vibrant and active, contributing to sharing the message of Christ across the globe.

This collaboration extends to profound writings and books, such as Unwind Your Mind and Purpose Is the Only Choice. These works, alongside the audio and video recordings from hundreds of retreats, offer a roadmap for those ready to dismantle the ego. Whether through a song, a book, or a movie review, the intention remains the same: to point the mind back to the peace of God.

“It seems like every day you have to deal with problems, interpersonal problems, survival, and so on and so forth. But you only have one problem and there is one solution to that problem. Isn’t that nice to think it is so simple? If there is such a thing as truth, it will be simple – one problem and one solution. If I perceive the problem to be in the world, it cannot be solved because the Holy Spirit is the one answer to that one problem and the Holy Spirit is in the mind. God did not place the answer where the problem was not. He did not place the answer out on the screen. He did not place the answer in the world; he placed the answer in the mind of the sleeping Son. And that is where the Holy Spirit is.” ―Unwind Your Mind Back to God: Experiencing A Course in Miracles
