In a society that measures success by achievement, wealth, and social status, David Hoffmeister offers a radical alternative: what if success was measured by inner peace?
This simple yet powerful question has guided David’s journey for over three decades. From an ordinary life to an extraordinary path of spiritual surrender, David Hoffmeister has become one of the most respected voices in modern mysticism—not through preaching, but through living in complete alignment with divine guidance.
From Questions to Clarity
Like many spiritual seekers, David's early life was filled with unanswered questions: Why am I here? What’s my purpose? Why does the world feel so chaotic? These questions led him down a path of exploration until one day, in the mid-1980s, a book found its way into his hands—A Course in Miracles.
This book didn’t offer the usual promises of self-help or self-improvement. Instead, it introduced a radical idea: the world we see is an illusion, and only love is real. To a mind ready for truth, this wasn’t just a theory—it was a revelation.
David began to apply the Course's teachings, not just as philosophy, but as a way of life. Slowly, layers of fear, judgment, and ego identity began to fall away, revealing a deep inner stillness.
Living in Guidance
David’s life changed in a way most people can’t imagine. He gave up personal planning, financial ambition, and control. Instead, he began to listen—truly listen—to divine guidance in every moment. Where to go, who to speak with, what to say—everything was directed by an inner voice he calls the Holy Spirit david hoffmeister.
He didn’t promote himself, yet invitations poured in. He didn’t market his message, yet people around the world showed up to listen. Why? Because truth, when lived authentically, becomes magnetic.
Today, David has shared his message in over 40 countries, not as a leader of a religion, but as a gentle reminder that we already are what we seek.
The Course as a Living Practice
David doesn’t just teach A Course in Miracles—he embodies it. For him, the Course is not a book to be memorized, but a lens through which all of life is seen.
Some key ideas he lives by:
The world is a mirror: What we see outside reflects our inner state. Healing our perception is the first step toward peace.
Forgiveness is the key: True forgiveness doesn’t excuse behavior—it releases the illusion of harm altogether.
Nothing real can be threatened: When we identify with Spirit rather than ego, nothing in the world can disturb our peace.
David often reminds his audience: “Peace is not dependent on circumstances. It’s your natural state—waiting only on your willingness.”
Building a Life Around Devotion
David is the founder of the Living Miracles community, a spiritual movement focused on living the principles of ACIM in real time. It’s not a traditional community with fixed rules or hierarchy. It’s a space where people from all backgrounds come together to practice love, listen for guidance, and undo the ego.
The community runs spiritual retreats, online gatherings, music sessions, and multimedia projects designed to inspire awakening through shared purpose.
Whether you’re attending a retreat in Mexico or watching a livestream from your couch, the essence is the same: You are not alone. You are deeply loved.
