Enjoy the following excerpt from a transcribed talk given
by one of the clearest non dual teachers David
Hoffmeister, who speaks about alignment with purpose.
Yes, I feel that that is exactly what we are coming to. Many non dual teachers agree that it is
an awareness that through detachment, through non-judgment, or obviously being
aligned with our divine purpose, that that is the highest helpfulness that you
could have. You are literally being
fully a part of a re-translation of the whole perception of the world. And is that helpful? It is the most helpful.
The other attempts that you were describing were very noble attempts,
very altruistic attempts. And underneath
the altruistic attempts was a desire to make a contribution, to provide some
helpfulness. And the prayer at the
beginning of the Course...says I am here
only to be truly helpful. I am here to
represent Him who sent me. That truly helpful, putting those two words
together… we could say that as you rise up in consciousness and you start to
clear away the dualistic thinking and you get much more in line with this
beautiful purpose that is forgiveness, I will call it… that the more in line
you are with forgiveness, that you become truly helpful.
And sometimes people will say, “Well, does that just mean that you sit
there in the lotus position and the world goes on and you are just sitting
there meditating?” No actually what I
have found is that as I have come into alignment with this purpose, the body of
David still seems quite active, talking, going around to thirty-one countries,
going to third world countries where I do get the chance to interact with
children and families and all walks of life.
I will occasionally meet people who are involved in politics or science
or you name it. It is like a huge broad
swath of those that I come into contact with, some celebrities.
It is just a huge, wide range
and there is always that helpfulness component.
To give you an example, going down to Argentina and going out with my
friend to go to many gatherings like this, taking along a little sack of coins,
and she brought a little sack of little angels to go along, because while I was
down there the economy had collapsed.
People were going through starvation and children, were coming up to do
juggling acts, wanting to wash the windshield of the car, anything to bring
home something to support their mothers and their families and everything. So the Spirit had us get a sack of coins, and
my friend brought along these little angels. We would stop at the red light and
they would do their little performance, and we would have these wonderful Holy
encounters, one after the next, with these children. And their eyes would light up and
sparkle. It was very active. We were not just off and sitting and
meditating. We were right there, just
letting the love, you might say, just infuse us. The body is like a marionette that is
completely neutral, as many non dual teachers agree. It has no causative effect, but that
marionette can be moved, you might say, or I call it being done through.
