David Hoffmeister & A Course In Miracles

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Movie Session, Evening 1 /4 - Hayama -Japan, Commentary by David Hoffmeister with Japanese translation.The world is often compared to a video game, with different characters and non-player characters. Jesus, in "A Course in Miracles," refers to the hero of the dream as the main character. In the video game, there are heroes and villains, with the extras being the supporting cast. Jesus emphasizes that we see images but do not see ourselves as the image maker. He suggests that we have unreal thoughts and images that are not real and hide behind projections. Jesus tells us in Lesson 132, "There is no world apart from what you wish." So, to perceive a world, you have to believe it and wish for it.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 liv

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Retreat Day 2 /4 Second Morning Session - Hayama -Japan Talk by David Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.In this second morning session at the Hayama 4-day retreat, David explores the perceptual problem, which pertains to the belief that the subject and the object are different. That the observer is different from the observed. And that the personality self is different from the world that surrounds it. So when we see an issue in the world, it really is just... a split in the mind. This belief can result in significant problems such as conflict, climate change, and hunger, all of which can be traced back to the division within the mind. Jesus' A Course in Miracles addresses this challenge by teaching two important workbook lessons: Lesson 79, "Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved," and Lesson 80, "Let me recognize my problems have been solved." By examining the projected world, we often fail to identify the core problem because it manifests in many forms. You may r

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 prof

What is True Renunciation? - Movie Workshop at Celebration of Illumination 2025 with David HoffmeisterThe movie David shows at the "Celebration of Illumination" event is an excellent introduction to the more profound teachings of A Course in Miracles and its practical application to the world. Mysticism, which is pure devotion to God, is often confused with renunciation, especially in Eastern traditions. However, Jesus clarifies that true renunciation is about withdrawing belief in the ego, not performing ritualistic acts. As everyone becomes aware of their attachments and addictions, including the habit of judgment, Jesus aims to help us free our minds by realizing we were never meant to be judges. He teaches that renouncing the ego, created by our belief in it, is a mind event requiring disciplined mind training to live as the Christ rather than the ego.In part 1, David provides his commentary on the movie. In part 2, he answers questions from participants.To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join ou

Finding the Divine Truth: When 'No' Becomes a 'Yes' to God - A Community Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterThe central question at the movie gathering was, "Can you show me a movie that truly helps me understand that sometimes, my 'no' can be a 'yes' to God?" What does the Bible say, and what have we learned in the Course? The Course teaches us, "Let your yes be yes and your no be no." "Let the Holy Spirit guide your words." "Don't associate 'yes' with God and 'no' with ego because you must always let the Spirit give you your yeses and nos." However, if people-pleasing is involved or if there's guilt beneath the 'no' or the 'yes,' it's wrong-minded. We can be sure of this because guilt and innocence don't meet. Even though one is not the opposite of the other, in this world, we believe that guilty people are imprisoned and innocent people are released.To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf y

"Beyond Specialness: Unveiling the Illusion of Separation and Ego" Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterThis movie session focuses on exposing and releasing specialness, which is not just between people or in the environment but also the ego's belief in separation from God and the belief that there is more than everything. This belief attracts the mind into a projection of the cosmos, resulting in the belief that we are in the world. The ego projects out a world of specifics, fragments the whole, and believes that there is something other than God.To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, February 5, 2025, at Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

The Constructed Self: Exploring the Concept of Invention in Human Identity - Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterWe all know that smartphones, iPads, and computers are inventions, but generally, we don't tend to think of ourselves as inventions. If you meet somebody and they say, "Where are you from?" They're not asking, "Where were you manufactured?" Or they're not saying, "Where were you invented?" They're just, "Where were you born?" So we would not quite use that invention word for our human personalities. But if we go a lot deeper, there is a workbook lesson in the Course where Jesus says, "I have invented the world I see." So he's using the invented word. All inventions are constructed. They're like products, but the mind has fallen asleep and forgotten that it believes in separation from God and forgot that it's dreaming. So it doesn't tend to think of itself as a construct. Jesus says, "You think of the body as an end instead of a means."To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online co

Atonement and Transcendence: Beyond Time and Fear - Community Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterThe ultimate goal of life is to accept the atonement, which is the realization that the past and future are identical.

Urpi and David share the Joy of Being Present. They sing a happy Song of Spirit! Joy and pain are not the same, Joy being miracles and pain being the belief in sacrifice. Personality is nothing but past associations, while Christ lives in the Holy Instant.

Aaron Abke's Journey and Reinterpretation of Jesus' Teachings - Letting Go of SacrificeDavid uses the video “The True Teachings of Jesus Will Destroy Christianity as We Know It” as a mind-training exercise to reinterpret Jesus' teachings. The goal is to focus on forgiveness and accepting the atonement, as God will take the final step of remembering oneness and eternal life. Sacrifice is considered a belief of the ego, offering no value and perpetuating the belief that something must be given up for spiritual growth.You can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/cyivXDVwJdc?si=C1eHOgGD-QmzyllCTo participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, January 12, 2025, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.
