David Hoffmeister & A Course In Miracles

The final session of the Strawberry Fields Festival is a powerful culmination of music, dialogue, and spiritual reflection. Kicking off the morning, the band RISE sets the tone with three heartfelt songs, offering an opening to stillness and inspiration. David and Kirsten step into the space for a profound discussion on guidance, divine connection, and the nature of choosing between what is valuable and what is valueless.

They emphasize the need to shift from theoretical knowledge to a practical, lived experience—inviting listeners into a space where miracles collapse time and bring clarity.Through personal insights, storytelling, and an engaging question-and-answer session, David and Kirsten highlight the essence of true surrender. Kirsten shares that before divine guidance can be received, there must be a wholehearted “Yes”—a willing

 2nd. Undoing of Linear Time - Saturday Movie Gathering with David and MarinaLesson 158 describes time as a trick and an illusion, with figures appearing and disappearing as if by magic. However, behind these appearances is a plan of atonement. At the end of the journey, we imagine and review our mental experiences. The movie follows the main character on a journey of love and mastery through love. This journey is not about fear but mastery through love; we must be willing and ready to achieve mastery.The lesson also emphasizes that we are in charge of time and space, and the miracle collapses time for us. We are here to undo the belief in linear time and dispel the trick of thinking there is a world outside ourselves. The greatest gift of all is our identity, created in spirit by God. God's free will is locked out from awareness, but the only remaining part of God's will is through a willingness to open our hearts and minds and let go of the past.For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracl

The End of the Belief in Ego and Linear Time - Movie Commentary by David and Marina This movie gathering hosted by David and Marina will be the first of four movies that undo the belief in the ego, which means undoing the belief in linear time. This week's movie is a mind experience that challenges the beliefs of linear time and the ego's hostility towards the world. It teaches us that time is not linear, we cannot change the past, and there are no choices or alternatives in the world. Love is universal, and joy is a choice made now. Recorded April 26, 2025 Online

In this podcast David and Urpi discuss the power of Love and the courage needed to disappear into Love. The first verse of the song Courageously Disappear into Love is directly below:Courageously Disappear into LoveI lay down my story in the hands of Light, (Entrego mi historia en manos de la Luz,)I surrender my shadow to the wings of flight, (Entrego mi sombra a las alas del vuelo,)I voy walk through the fire, I drop every glove (Camino por el fuego, dejo cada defensa,)I courageously disappear into Love.(Desaparezco valientemente en el Amor.)

Salvation can be thought of as a game that happy children play. ²It was designed by One Who loves His children, and Who would replace their fearful toys with joyous games, which teach them that the game of fear is gone. ⁴Everyone who plays must win, and in his winning is the gain to everyone ensured. ⁵The game of fear is gladly laid aside, when children come to see the benefits salvation brings.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - 4th Movie Session, Evening 4/4 - Hayama -JapanDavid Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.Tonight's movie explores the power of the mind and dissociation from reality. Like in A Course in Miracles, it reveals that when we forget about heaven and God, we experience amnesia, forgetting our identity. This dissociation leads to external forces and things happening beyond the mind's control, leading to a world where characters have their own minds, thoughts, and wills. But all the characters are acting a part chosen in an ancient incident long ago. When you go back deep enough in the mind, you see that everyone is playing a prearranged part that was decided long ago.To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 23, 2025, in Hayama, J

神を第一にする - Putting God First - 3rd Movie Session, Evening 3/4 - Hayama -JapanDavid Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.This evening's movie aims to demonstrate that intellectual capacity and intelligence are not as important as they seem in the world. The ego uses the world's abilities and roles to strengthen an image it created as a substitute for God. Jesus' teachings in the Bible emphasize the importance of learning to lay down one's life and open up one's heart to God. However, the ego interprets "lay down your life" as a sacrifice of the body, associating life with biological life or human development. Jesus' words mean "lay down your ego and follow me."To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 22, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - 2nd Movie Session, Evening 2 /4 - Hayama -JapanThe Course in Miracles highlights the importance of change as the greatest gift from God. The Holy Spirit is the gift of changing our minds, accepting eternity and light over darkness. The ego, which seeks control, is threatened by a change of mind, as seen in the United States' current attempt to cling to the past. The Holy Spirit promotes release from control, allowing us to accept the eternal and light of life.To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 21, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Retreat Day 4/4, Fourth Morning Session - Hayama -Japan - Talk by David Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.In this last morning talk at the Japanese Hayama 4-day retreat, David teaches that God's Son is not a traveler through outer worlds, suggesting that our minds are like a dream, watching the world through an ego filter. So we start by receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit, but it has to come through an ego filter. And the guidance, therefore, seems to involve persons and appears to be interpersonal. But the miracle leaves your mind with a feeling of closeness and connection. Jesus says, "You need to do nothing," asking the mind to remain aware that it is a dream. What the body seems to do or not to do is ultimately not the lesson. But when you follow guidance, it can seem like the Spirit is speaking through you and smiling through you and use you as a puppet. But this is just a symbol that the mind is coming into alignment with the light of the Holy Spirit. The ultimat

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Retreat Day 3 /4, Third Morning Session - Hayama -Japan. David Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.The practice of A Course in Miracles teaches us to overlook error. Perceiving error stems from the ego, while the Holy Spirit remembers God's love and only sees the good. To adopt this perspective, we must release comparisons, as the ego seeks to judge and validate. Parents often try to instill self-esteem, but Jesus reminds us that God establishes our worth, not our actions or opinions. Thus, we practice letting go of our self-concept and image. We often chase talents or possessions, but Jesus guides us to abandon these pursuits to rediscover our true self, as created by God. The body may develop skills, yet those skills lack inherent value made by the ego. The critical question becomes: what purpose do I assign to these skills?Enjoy David's third morning talking to Japanese students. To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-chr
