About Me:
David began his journey to spiritual enlightenment in 1986 when he encountered A Course in Miracles and recognized it as the tool he had been seeking for a radical transformation of his mind and perceptions.
In the early years David studied the Course with passionate intensity, often reading it for eight or more hours a day. After two years of this study, David began to seek the company of other students of ACIM, attending as many as five groups a week. He was startled to find that a Voice was speaking through him with great authority, so that many began referring their questions to him.
Among family members, friends and teachers, David was always known for questioning everything, rather than accepting conventional answers. Thus he was delighted to find in the Course support and encouragement from the Voice of Jesus 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, and providing inner discernment.
In 1991 David was impelled to make another leap of trust and to begin traveling around the United States and Canada, sharing his clarity of understanding related to A Course in Miracles. He followed Jesus' instructions to "become as a child", allowing himself to be totally dependent on the Holy Spirit for money, transportation, shelter, food and the words to speak in countless ACIM gatherings, churches, metaphysical and spiritual groups and a host of holy encounters with persons who knew nothing of the Course.
David found that it was his constant joy and peace that was the best teacher in all encounters, and that it was this peace that all his brothers and sisters were seeking. The Voice of Jesus told David as it instructed the apostles 2,000 years before, "Freely you have received; freely give."
Thus David has never charged for his time, teaching or any of the many materials he gives away, but has been supported entirely by love offerings.
In all his years of traveling and sharing the wisdom of Christ, David has become a Living demonstration of the principles of A Course in Miracles, such lessons as:
"I am sustained by the Love of God." "I am the light of the world." "I will step back and let Him lead the way." "In my defenselessness my safety lies." "God's Will for me is perfect happiness."
David learned through countless miracles that he could perfectly trust the Holy Spirit to provide for him and guide him through every situation. Everything he seemed to need to accomplish his purpose as a teacher of God was given without his making any effort whatever. Several hermitage experiences helped David to free his mind from ego chatter and enter into deep Silence, where he ultimately experienced Enlightenment.
David was guided to a small house in 1996. It became a place of quiet and meditation between travels, but also a place where he could welcome those desiring to step back from the world and to go deeply within the mind to discover the Christ within. David's time at the PeaceHouse opened a new phase of his ministry as Holy Spirit guided him to acquire computers and use internet technology. The result was the making of a number of websites. His main website, (Foundation for the Awakening Mind), today offers a huge array of resources related to A Course in Miracles and the metaphysics of Christ. David has been invited to 20 countries and travels between 4 continents as an ambassador of Divine Love and Inner Peace. Friends can subscribe to David's e-group, Awakeninginchrist, where for several years he answered the questions sent in to him from all over the world. This group now serves as a global mailing list to announce foundation events and new resources as well as David's travel schedule.
Always a lover of music, and seeing it as a path to God in its own right, David has set up a number of Music Pavilions on his website highlighting a variety of artists who share spiritual ideas through music. Also available on the site are video clips of television interviews he has done, audio recordings of gatherings and teaching sessions, searchable archives, and writings such as Mind Overhaul, Purpose Is The Only Choice, and The Movie Watcher's Guide To Enlightenment. (David sees movies as another helpful path to God.)
While the computer ministry was unfolding a friend was inspired to establish a non-profit organization, the Foundation For The Awakening Mind, which now serves as a framework for coordinating all aspects of the ministry and for handling larger donations. All donations help David continue to share the experience of: Christ's Divine Love or Perfect Oneness

I was so happy that you could find the time from what I know must be a very busy schedule for you to join our group. Together maybe we can arouse some of the non-active members of the Miracle Cafe. NAMASTE
