神を第一にする - Putting God First - Retreat Day 1 /4 Opening Morning Session - Hayama -Japan (Japanese translation).
David Hoffmeister begins the Hayama 4-Day Japan Retreat by exploring the concept of undoing the self-concept—a conditioned expectation that obstructs our understanding of the world. He explains that the ego arises from the mind's pursuit of self-improvement, crafting illusory goals that keep the mind preoccupied and detached from its boundless nature.
The ego's game is endless, as it neither begins nor concludes. The purpose of our practice, Hoffmeister suggests, is to abandon the pursuit of temporal goals and relinquish the false identity—the mask of the ego. In doing so, we experience the mind's all-encompassing nature, recognizing that the world, society, and everything once perceived as external are, in truth, within the mind. As the mind reaches a state of rest, the external world reflects this peace, becoming more harmonious. According to Hoffmeister, this practice is pivotal for attaining a profound understanding of the world and the true self.
Listen to Davids's profound talk, the first of 4 days of retreat sessions.
