Shine So Bright That All Fear Disappears (Q&A - Part 3) with David Hoffmeister - An All-Day Movie WorkshopTo shine so bright that all fear, not some, but all fear, disappears, psychologists would say, that's not reasonable. There's no way that all fear can disappear. But Jesus is not a psychologist, thank heavens; for Jesus, this is like a done deal. He's like, I've already done it. I'm just going to give you some tips. No problem. No problem being the I Am Presence, no problem being an eternal being because that's how God created you. So it must be that we can accept that we are eternal beings like God created us. It would be arrogant to think that we're something else, which is the situation called time and space. A lot of arrogance, of believing we know better than the Creator, believing our version of ourselves, our flesh version, is better or more important than the eternal version that God created called the Christ.Enjoy this Question and Answer session after the movie "The Life of Jesus Christ (Mes

What Is Spiritual Maturity? - Wednesday Morning Gathering at La Casa de Milagros with David Hoffmeister, Frances Xu, and Lisa FairAs we open up to be shown the meaning of spiritual maturity, you can say that our spiritual journey was nothing like we thought it would be. It always had new surprises and fresh experiences with it. You might say that we've allowed our minds to be made a slave to time. I don't have enough time. Time is money. Oh, I've got a little extra time. I need to kill some time. The currency of our minds in this world is time. But when we think of the simplicity of the present moment, think of the love and joy of God at this moment. And when we start to serve the moment by giving ourselves over to be childlike, playful, loving, joyful, and having Glee, that is a very different way of thinking. A mature way of thinking!David, Lisa, and Frances continue their Wednesday morning gatherings with the interns at La Casa de Milagros. Enjoy this beautiful session with touching comments and questions

You Are Worthy of Perfect Love and Happiness - Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterI sometimes think of this world, the ego-projected world of time and space, to be like a cover or a cloak to fool the mind into different alternate identities and form a giant distractive device. A world made out of hatred to keep you mindless. And anyone going to go all the way with Christ, all the way to the awakening, has to quickly realize that mind training is required. Discipline is needed, and anybody who's ever attempted to reach God knows that this is a very deep discipline. A journey of spiritual mind training. All the teachers throughout history have said, go inside. The truth is within you; the kingdom of heaven is within you. Nirvana is within you. And yet, the journey seems to be the journey through the darkness to the light.Enjoy the profound commentary on the movie "When a Man Loves a Woman" by David Hoffmeister.

The Only Way Out is The Only Way In - David Hoffmeister, Lisa Fair, and Frances Xu gather with the Interns at La Casa De MilagrosThere are many people that have tried to renounce the world in words. Stop the world, I want to get off now! They think if I just renounce it enough, it will disappear, but we really don't escape this world by renouncing it verbally. We have to value Christ so much that we welcome Christ to live in our hearts. And as we welcome Christ to live in our hearts, we start to realize that the value of the love that God has for us is more important than anything we could value in the world. We actually have to forgive and that's the central teaching of Jesus as well as remembering your Creator. David, Lisa, and Frances continue their Wednesday morning gathering with the interns at La Casa de Milagros.

Fully saying yes to the present moment! - Commentary on the Documentaries 'The Fabric of the Cosmos - The Illusion of Time S38 Ep17' and 'Hidden - A Life All for God') (November 12, 2022)What seems to be a world of time and space, a world of many distractions and exploding images with lots of complexities, competition, and conflict. Time seems to go before us, and you might experience the world trying to draw your attention to the form. And Jesus will agree, this is what the world is. Idle images keep you from going inside and remembering who you are.Enjoy the profound commentary by David Hoffmeister on saying fully Yes to the present moment.

A New Day Dawning - David Hoffmeister, Frances Xu, and Lisa Fair at La Casa de Milagros - November 10, 2022Teaching has been equated with words and with behaviors and actions. The role of teachers seems to be different from the role of students. But if you go deep enough into what Jesus is teaching, he's saying; The teacher and the student are the same. They're always on the same level. So we're always teaching, and we're always learning. And what Jesus is trying to get us to realize is that we don't necessarily teach with our words and actions alone, but we lead with our attitude, and above all, we teach continuously with our thoughts. Thoughts moving through our awareness teach the universe what it is and who we are. So if somebody asks you, what do you think about that? You could think right away, what do I teach about that? What am I teaching my mind about myself? Am I a mind or a body teaching myself being a body or spirit?David, Frances, and Lisa had a morning joining with the interns at La Casa de Mila

Closing Session - The Mystical Heart of Christ Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuThat which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit, Jesus taught in the Bible, and then it follows; Now I'm born again, which is the choice for the Holy Instant. I am now born again! Some Christians call this a conversion experience. Sometimes they will say, Do you remember the moment you were saved? But it's a glimpse. Salvation goes deeper than professing Jesus Christ as Lord in Word; you must purge every aspect of the ego or the devil. Every spot of Satan has to be seen for its nothingness to be saved. So it's not just professing a few words but devoting your life to walking with the Spirit in everything. What a beautiful decision when you have a vast glimpse of the glory of God's love and say, I'm going to follow you. Once you say yes to that, you're saying yes to following the Holy Spirit to follow Jesus's instructions. Enjoy David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu's closing s

Movie 'The Most Reluctant Convert' - Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterThis movie uses wit and humor, and it uses great thinkers and great poets. So many great thinkers were experts at rationality and logic who didn't realize that the rationality they were applying to this world was as if the world was real and as if the world had some meaning in it. But when you use rationality to meaninglessness, it goes nowhere. Some of us have tried. We've tried to be rational creatures in an insane world. And, at times, wondered; This is ridiculous. How am I ever going to find meaning in such an insane world? So Jesus has helped us out. He tells us this world is backward and upside down. And he tells us that we will never find our true identity in this world. A veil is drawn over the truth to blind us from the truth and he's permitting us to drop it. Drop trying to find meaning and understanding in the world. The kingdom of heaven is within you, and he was pointing us toward prayer and meditation. Spirit of God, show

Opening Session - The Mystical Heart of Christ - Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuOnce we let our whole heart and our whole mind say; Of ourselves, we can do nothing, but in God everything is possible, and we will step back and but follow, then it opens our hearts, expands our awareness beyond words and beyond something that we can't put the finger on. With this constant expansion, in trust and in faith, we realize that all symbols are used by the spirit and by Christ to guide us into a direct experience of living in Christ. This is my life, and I will be forever guided to expand, forever guided in this ever-lasting ever-expanding happiness and joy that keeps growing. You don't need to do anything. You don't need to know anything. We can give all our trust and faith to this momentary guidance that keeps flooding our awareness. It's like a broadcast from the spirit; receive and follow me and be happy. There is a plan. That's really what it is. There is a plan for us, so loving, that says you

The movie "God's Not Dead 4" - We the People with David Hoffmeister - A Weekly Online Movie WorkshopIn the past 35 years, I've heard two words put together. And the two words are. My truth. So what's that even mean - my truth? When I would inquire, they say, Well, you've got your truth, but I've got my truth. And then when you start to pray together about guidance, they would say to me, David, that's your Holy Spirit's guidance. But here's my Holy Spirit's guidance, even though the source of the guidance is supposed to be the same. So, Jesus addressed this, saying, If two people pray together and are genuinely tuned, they will hear the same thing simultaneously! God is one, and so is guidance. And if you constantly are having disagreements about guidance, there's only one reason; the ego is involved. Because if you're genuinely attuned, you will hear the same guidance simultaneously. And I can testify to this because I've lived in community for over 20 years. So we have to blow past your truth and my truth

Movie 'God's Not Dead 3' - A Light In Darkness with David Hoffmeister - A Weekly Movie WorkshopMost of us have grown up thinking of ourselves as human beings, as persons with parents, families, countries, and languages, with sometimes different jobs or careers. Usually, we do not think of ourselves as miracle workers. That seems way beyond what is expected in this world. But what Jesus was teaching us when he said, I am the light of the world, is that we're all the light. It's hard, though, to identify with being the light of the world until we've become pretty consistent miracle workers. But then, suddenly, we start to open our minds up to this light-of-the-world thing. Our personality self is not the light of the world. We must learn how to let our minds be used in Miracle work. And that's why Jesus gave us A Course in Miracles. He tells us it's a practical course, not a course in the play of ideas. He does not want us to memorize the theology and do workshops our whole Earth life. He wants us to go into an

The movie "God's Not Dead 2" - Let the Miracle Convince My Mind with David Hoffmeister.Let the miracle convince my mind. Let the Holy Spirit use miracles to convince you that you're the One. Let the Holy Spirit use miracles to convince you that nothing can harm you. Let the Holy Spirit show you that you are invulnerable and untouchable when you align with Him.There's one part in A Course in Miracles where Jesus said; this world is nothing more than an opportunity to realize who you are. He says you are the goal the world is searching for. Try that on! You are the goal the world is searching for. In the Bible, Jesus says the kingdom of heaven is within you, and in A Course of Miracles, Jesus says the word within is not even necessary because the Kingdom of Heaven is You! So he's talking about the abstract love, light, and joy that the world's goal is and that you are as Christ. Enjoy the profound commentary by David Hoffmeister on the second 'God's Not Dead' movie.

Live Music and Talk at Living Miracles Monastery with David Hoffmeister and Svava LoveWhen we go on the spiritual journey we say yes but we don't really know what the form will be. It seem that difficulties arise when we think we have an idea about how the form could or should be. Until we surrender and say, Father, what is your will for me? I'm an open, receptive mind. I am a clear channel. I have no opinion about anything. Father, what is your will for me? Then imaginably, just suddenly, we get very still and quiet. I think that's how it goes with the spiritual journey, you know? You find yourself seemingly in different situations that appear to be different from each other. And yet the mind training you're going through is increasingly coming into purpose and alignment with the Holy Spirit and God. So your mind, which had flipped before away from the light and into what seemed to be the projection, flips back toward the light, and suddenly the world seems like one thing. It all seems the same. And you're l

Closing Session - Heralds of Eternity - Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuWith A Course of Miracles and the teachings of Jesus throughout the centuries, he’s helping us to go right into the experience of Right Now. That’s why we’re calling it the Heralds of Eternity. Why wait till the puppet is taking its final breath? Why wait till then to forgive? Why wait till then when in reality, it isn’t even there?He says you’re mistaken about everything, but you’re particularly mistaken about life and death. The ego is the death in your mind, and that’s what you’re practicing, releasing, and you will experience that life is eternal. Life is there for you, even if you seem to fail in this world. That is the good news. You can’t die. Isn’t that lovely? So why not face this stuff right now? Why are we waiting for an artificial future when we can look at it right now?Enjoy David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu's closing the Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with the topic Heralds of Eternity.

The movie "God Is Not Dead 1" - 'Heralds of Eternity' Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister.Heralds of Eternity are the Messengers of Eternity, and that's us. We must recognize that the Heralds of Eternity are the Mighty Companions of Eternity, and that's us. I hope that's not too much for you today, but I call you sometimes saints or mystics in training, but now you are Mighty Companions of Eternity. You bring the light of eternity through your state of being. You are the light of the world - Reverend and sacred. And you have a vital calling in your heart. And as you answer this call, you're feeling joy, and even more joy, and even more joy coming in—more joy than you could ever imagine coming into your heart and lighting you up.Enjoy the profound commentary by David Hoffmeister on the first 'God Is Not Dead' movie made. It will be followed by three more during the next month as David increasingly identifies himself as a Christian Mystic.You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.b

Opening Session - Heralds of Eternity - Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuJesus is saying in A Course in Miracles that there is no universal theology, but there is a universal experience, and he's encouraging us to go for the experience. If you find theology or metaphysics helpful, incredible. Suppose you see things in psychology, education, or poetry as applicable, excellent. But our focus is when we're talking about the Heralds of Eternity, on a direct experience. We're not focusing on concepts. We're not focusing on the scaffolding because the Spirit can use lots of different scaffolding. I rather have a direct experience of who I am as Christ and a direct experience of God. So, in the end, that's why lesson 189 says, forget this world. Forget this course and come with fully empty hands into your God. We're just a band of seeming people worldwide focused on the experience.Enjoy David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu's opening session for this monthly Tabula Rasa weekend online retre

Documentary "How To Change Your Mind - Episode 3" Lifelong Dedication to the Calling by David Hoffmeister - A Weekly Online Movie WorkshopIf you look at things of the world and the things you only give partial attention to or partial devotion to, it will come out sloppy. If you're not attentive to your driving skills, it gets messy. Suppose you're not careful to clean your house. Notice that the house gets dirty and disorganized and if you're trying to learn something, and you don't give it a full effort, then the chances are, you're not going to do well. So unless you give your whole heart and attention to the Holy Spirit to transcend the ego, you will not succeed. You can't hope that you can give it a 90% effort and transcend the ego because the ego will be laughing at that 10% and say Oh, I can make this 10% into madness. Thank you. I'm a death wish, so I'll wreak havoc in your mind. Enjoy David Hoffmeister's commentary and profound A Course in Miracles content in this episode 3 of the Netflix documentary
