David Hoffmeister & A Course In Miracles

Embracing the New Year: A Journey Towards Extreme Letting Go and Deeper Collaboration with David HoffmeisterDavid uses the New Year movie gathering to underscore the new year's significance as an opportunity for profound transformation and collaboration. While the Living Miracles community has mastered the art of uniting and forgiving, it is now time to embark on a deeper level of "extreme letting go." David highlights the importance of moving beyond mere "doing" to enter a state of pure being, shedding self-concept, and embracing a more profound purpose. His message encourages a communal shift toward deeper understanding and complete surrender to the process of undoing.The talk was recorded in the evening of January 1, 2025, at Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

Christmas Movie Gathering in Brazil with David Hoffmeister 2024In this Christmas gathering in Brazil, David discusses time loop movies and their connection to the Bible, which emphasizes the importance of not holding images before God. The world is a world of images, and when we make certain images important, they become idols. Jesus taught that the kingdom of heaven is within us, and true religion is peace of mind.The world has many distractions, making it tempting not to pray and remain still. David uses the example of Walt Disney's animated characters, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, to illustrate this point. The key thing is that the animation doesn't seem to happen until you multiply this image many times and very quickly, turning what seems like a two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional motion picture. This illusion of change in motion is the trick of time, and underneath all these moving images, there is a belief that something is missing. Something is lacking.The entire linear time-space cosmos

4th Session - Closing Session, Q&A, Mosteiro Itaici, Sao Paulo, Brazil with David Hoffmeister and Paulinha OliveiraIn this last session from the December Brazil Retreat, David and Paulinha answered questions from the participants.Question: "How do I know if I'm listening to the Holy Spirit or my intuition?"  David: "Discipline is a lifelong devotion to hear only one voice, the Holy Spirit. The guidance of the Holy Spirit comes through with a deep feeling of peace, comfort, and blessings. The Holy Spirit is soft and gentle, never commanding or demanding, and leaves it up to the mind to follow. Sometimes, the Holy Spirit's guidance can be unexpected, leading to a reaction from the ego with doubt-thoughts. The ego focuses on past outcomes or hoped-for future outcomes, while the Holy Spirit's guidance is practical, straight, and simple. The Holy Spirit does not provide long-range goals or plans. It is essential to have discernment throughout one's life.If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and the

Movie Workshop, Mosteiro Itaici, Sao Paulo, Brazil, with David HoffmeisterThe movie used in this workshop focuses on Jesus's Mother, Mary, and portrays a series of unpredictable events, with the Angel Gabriel serving as a guiding light. These events, though firm, hint at a purpose beyond this world. The ego created the world as a closed system of darkness with no hope of escape. The world was dark before Christ, with Jewish prophecies about the Messiah seeming forgotten. Salvation is seen as a way to escape this darkness, fulfilling the prophecy. The New Testament underscores the importance of Jesus's birth and liberation from a bleak and dismal world. Without a bright ray of light, no contrast or sign of something greater exists.If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://www.the-christ.net/eventsRecorded, Afternoon December 14, 2024, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

2nd. Session, Brazil Weekend Retreat, Mosteiro Itaici, Sao Paulo, with David Hoffmeister and Paulinha OliveiraDavid starts this second morning session by emphasizing the importance of perfect equality in our perception of the world, stating that no one is ahead or behind and that we should practice forgiveness by letting judgments come up and letting them go.David and Paulinha also emphasize the importance of the Holy Instant, which allows us to see our brothers and sisters in a new way. They underline that differences are judgments, and when we fall asleep, we forget God and heaven, leading to intense fear and chaos.The ego attempts to invent an identity to replace our Christ Spirit, and the spiritual journey involves letting the darkness come up from the unconscious mind and letting it go to the Holy Spirit. Communication is crucial in allowing the darkness to come up and go to the light, and mirroring is essential for releasing it. If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles ev

7th. Session - Movie Workshop - Sunday Evening - Barcelona Retreat with David HoffmeisterThis movie workshop emphasizes the devotion to prayer and its transformative power. It illustrates how prayer opens opportunities to teach and learn, showing that when we pray to God, we often find what we seek within ourselves by giving it away to others. The film introduces the concept of discipleship, depicting characters who assist the protagonist on his spiritual journey, symbolizing the support and guidance provided by Christ’s disciples. The movie portrays the protagonist’s transformation from a state of despair to one of purpose and connection with Christ’s vision, emphasizing that we are all disciples of Christ, activated by love and guided towards a higher perception beyond the physical senses. Overall, the movie serves as a parable, demonstrating the journey from theory to practice in spiritual life and the profound impact of prayer and discipleship in finding and fulfilling one’s divine purpose.If you want to

6th. Session - Morning Sunday Service - Barcelona Retreat with David HoffmeisterFrom the Chapel service:The purpose of this chapel is to remind us that the chapel, the monastery, the church, and religion all mean the same thing. It means experience. It is the state of our heart and the state of our mind. It is not a structure, it is not an institution, it is not a theology, it has no history and no future. This instant is the only time there is. We pray together for God to use our perception so that perception may disappear. We hand over all our past learning to let it disappear. We hand over all of our future goals and future ambitions to let them disappear.Let my voice be mute before your silence. Let my ears be quiet so that I may listen within and hear your gentle voice, gentle reminders, and gentle instructions. You are always blessing me, always kind, and always certain that there is no love but God's. We have come to this retreat to move beyond theory, beyond learning, to practice and experience. We wa

5th. Session - Movie Workshop - Saturday Evening at the Barcelona Retreat with David HoffmeisterThis movie workshop reminds us that our desire to open to the light and remember God is activated by our hearts' prayer. A Course in Miracles teaches that truth will be returned to us by our desire, just as it was lost by our desire for something else. The Holy Spirit, described in the Bible as the Comforter, is our bridge back to love and oneness.The movie symbolizes the journey from darkness to light, where the ego throws up distractions to divert us from following our intuition. However, through prayer and desire, we can overcome these distractions and achieve the light. The ego's advice to figure things out is unnecessary, as everything is internal. With a strong prayer in our hearts, we can overcome external obstacles and experience the light of God.If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://www.the-christ.net/eventsRecorded, Evening Novem

4th. Session - Saturday Morning - Q&A - Barcelona Retreat with David HoffmeisterEmbracing Divine Abundance: The True Meaning of SacrificeDavid delves into the idea that God asks for no sacrifice but offers everything. This perspective challenges the traditional view that the spiritual journey involves sacrifice, highlighting instead that true sacrifice means giving up what you don’t truly desire. Jesus teaches that our greatest joy comes from following our intuition, leading us to experience our true identity as Christ.He explains that the real world is vastly different from the one we perceive. There are no artificial lights, streets, or stores to buy things we neither need nor want. This description portrays the human condition as an absurd parody, where people seek something unknown. Jesus emphasizes that in heaven when you knock, the door will be opened. He advises against seeking outside oneself, which leads to disappointment when idols fall. Instead, he points to an inner identity obscured by false

3rd. Session - Friday Evening -  Movie Workshop - Barcelona Retreat with David HoffmeisterIn this movie workshop on forgiveness, Jesus aims to help us understand that time is a reflection of our consciousness, not a linear sequence. The linear perspective often used to perceive grievances spreads them out over time. These grievances represent the ego, and the sleeping mind is addicted to linear time. Newtonian physics, studied by Sir Isaac Newton through the scientific method, deals with linear time. However, quantum physicists like Einstein realized that time is not linear but relative.Jesus teaches that everything we perceive through our five senses is the past; all perceived experiences are part of a dream. The field of forgiveness, as described by quantum physicists, is a realm where everything exists simultaneously. Time is an illusion, breaking reality into parts like time and space. This egoic concept has turned this field into a line, making us believe it is real. Karma, the belief that past pain and

2nd. Session - Friday Morning - Barcelona 5-day Retreat - From Theory to Practice with David HoffmeisterThe projected world of space and time is an ego trick, diverting our attention to external discomfort instead of recognizing it within the mind. This belief in separation and a fall from grace is a mental construct that needs to be exposed and released. The ego is intricate, with layers of illusions and varying levels. Our heartfelt prayer is, “Give me the simple life,” yet we often don’t even know what that simplicity truly is.Jesus and Buddha teach the middle way: “The kingdom of heaven is within.” They guide us not to change the projected world but to understand that it is an illusion. Jesus teaches that the world is a trick and that nothing we see has inherent meaning. Our central problem is believing that nothing is something, and once we interpret it as something, we mistakenly call it real. Jesus instructs us to forget the world and come to God with empty hands, emphasizing the importance of contempl

1st. Session - Opening of the Barcelona 5-day Retreat - From Theory to Practice with David HoffmeisterIn the opening session of the Barcelona 5-day retreat, David discusses intuitive guidance, which helps individuals let go of their personality self. This guidance can be experienced through interactions with people, signs, symbols in the environment, and dreams.David emphasizes the importance of releasing attempts to interpret the past and living carefree, like a child at play. He believes the world is an impossible situation, and something inside us jumps for joy when we are clueless about it and forget it. This state of joy can lead to laughter and synchronization, which are signs of awakening. He highlights the importance of embracing intuition and practicing prayer to achieve humility and stillness. By focusing on what truly matters and letting go of interpretation, individuals can experience greater happiness and joy.If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles events, here is
