ACIM and the Swiftness of Spirit






Enjoy the following excerpt from a transcribed talk given by ACIM teacher DavidHoffmeister.

People who want to work with the Course and have lived with me over the past twenty five years are amazed and dazzled at how swiftly the Spirit moves. They watch things happen around me and they just go, ‘Unbelievable!” Things happen so fast. Guidance comes in, and it is just a matter of being open.

We have had things happen within our ACIM communities where, for example: We were scheduled to go to Hawaii last year. Then right before we were leaving, we started to notice all these floods of Hawaii symbols. Two days before we are leaving, we hear a story of someone finding a Hawaiian license plate on the dusty roads of rural Utah! And then a friend of ours was having a one-on-one with a woman who said Hawaii is the answer! She told us, and then we started to get all these other things: a friend from California said she saw me in a dream in Hawaii. We get over there, and we even get a link on Facebook of a house there for sale. We get over here and it turns out that we end up buying that house on the ocean; with really no premeditated
thought in doing that! These things just seem to show up.

Most people think that was something to be right on the ocean, to hear swish, the waves crashing in on the rocks, it is so close. But it just happens really, really fast. If I look back honestly, that is the way it has gone with me. When I go to an ACIM conference or a gathering, my heart starts to open. I feel such hope, such promise. It feels like such a wonderful thing. When I get a feeling to go there, then, wham !Bam! The people you are meant to meet show up. It does not have to be how it was in the past. Awakening can really move quite swiftly when one is open to Spirit.

My journey seemed to be stretched out over years, but now everything seems to be happening at an exponential rate. It is like a celestial speed-up with the ones I am meeting now. I am not surprised by it at all. I marvel though, because we are just witnessing the speed of the miracle. Students want to dive deeper into it, and that is exactly what the Spirit wants. I also found things were happening for me. It was so surreal. Things were being taken care of on my behalf. My friend Ricki was just saying to me today, “ It’s absolutely amazing! Now I see what you mean, David. Just trust!”. She has been just jumping for joy! And we are here to really witness, bless, support and nurture that. I feel that what is happening, is going on in an accelerated way.
