David Hoffmeister & A Course In Miracles

Beyond the Veil:  Exploring Love and Relationships - A Tribe of Christ Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterIn this talk, David Hoffmeister draws on Jesus’ teachings to illuminate the true nature of our existence. He emphasizes that we are not separate from our Creator but one Spirit, Christ. The movie commentary takes us into an experience of reality much beyond what we would call the everyday human experience. The real love of God is so far beyond human experience that we have only received glimmers, and the prayer remains: "Bring me a higher love." The movie commentary takes us beyond our limited definitions of love and relationship. It lifts us higher into a sense of the holy relationship: the connection with the divine and the holy instant. David is a mastermind guiding us toward a deeper understanding of love and relationships.To participate online in a Tribe of Christ Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/products/communities/tribe-of-christIf

David Hoffmeister meets Alex Serra for the first time in a beautiful atmosphere of love, music, and friendship.After playing at a festival in Ajijic, Mexico, Sunday morning, Alex Serra visited Living Miracles Monastery, La Casa de Milagros in Chapala. Alex Serra is a musician and explorer from Barcelona. His debut album ‘In the Real World’ (2019), springs from an inspiring four-year self-discovery journey starting in 2012 and taking him through Latin America and South Africa, where he connects with musicians from different musical roots that permeate his music with a unique and regenerating energy. In 2014, Alex landed in Cape Town (South Africa) and met musician Yannick Meyer, with whom he formed a heartfelt brotherhood. Together, they started an ‘African psychedelic pop’ project called Native Young, joining with a marimba band from the townships of Gugulethu, Khayelitsha, and Philippi. This cultural and musical human exploration changed his life, inspiring him to explore his musical universe on his return h

Dismantling of the 'I know mind' - A Tribe of Christ Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterThe Tribe of Christ Movie Workshop is a bi-weekly event that aims to teach the concept of atonement, a correction in the mind. Jesus emphasizes that the sole responsibility of the miracle worker and teacher of God is to accept the atonement for themselves, which involves correcting our thinking and belief system. Our actions come from our thoughts; Jesus calls this the "Hero of the Dream." This includes historical characters such as Jesus, mystics, saints, and people labeled as tyrants, Hitler, Mussolini, and Osama bin Laden.The Holy Spirit and Christ's mind offer us right-mindedness or corrected thought, and when we think with God, we come back to thinking eternal thoughts with God, which is where the wake-up occurs. The hero of the dream is a person or mask used to cover the face of Christ. Symbols throughout history, such as Gandhi, Albert Einstein, C.S. Lewis, and Sigmund Freud, are used today to illustrate the conce

The Resurrection of the Mind - Online Gathering with David Hoffmeister with Spanish TranslationRuben Goy from 'COMUNIDAD VIVIR EL PERDÓN' invited David Hoffmeister to talk to his community. David discusses the concept of the resurrection of the mind, a concept that most people often overlook. The mind is often seen as a mere part of their experience of Earth, with only psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, philosophers, and scientists investing time in discovering it.However, most people are aware of their bodies and thoughts but often feel like they are just reacting to the external world. David suggests that the spiritual journey involves rediscovering the mind. The first step is to remember the mind, which is the focus of the workbook of A Course in Miracles. He emphasizes the power of thought and that the mind is not private to individuals. The notion of private minds and thoughts is an error.You can experience David online in a Tribe Movie Workshop every other Saturday. Join our online community: htt

From Jesus in ACIM WB lesson 24: “In no situation that arises do you realize the outcome that would make you happy. Therefore, you have no guide to appropriate action, and no way of judging the result. What you do is determined by your perception of the situation, and that perception is wrong. It is inevitable, then, that you will not serve your own best interests. Yet they are your only goal in any situation which is correctly perceived. Otherwise, you will not recognize what they are. If you realized that you do not perceive your own best interests, you could be taught what they are. But in the presence of your conviction that you do know what they are, you cannot learn. The idea for today is a step toward opening your mind so that learning can begin. W-24.1:1-2:3

"A Collaborative Adventure" - A Tribe of Christ Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterWe often forget our eternal identity and become distracted by idols, such as the body, which is created to replace and take over our Christ self. This profound amnesia can lead to a world where we seek certain characters, like Lego characters, to become our saviors.Christianity has been criticized for holding onto the belief in Jesus as a personal Lord and Savior, even though he lived 2,000 years ago. Jesus tells us that all these images projected from the ego are effects of an unreal cause and that the real cause is Christ, an idea in God's mind.In the spiritual realm, everything is light extending light, love extending love extending love, and eternity extending eternity. There is no beginning or end to creation, nor has eternity.To experience the depth of today's movie, we need to read A Course in Miracles' section called "The Hero of the Dream," which discusses the complex nature of dualistic concepts and the difficulty i

This was celebrated with music and talk in a spontaneously arranged Chautauqua. The 'Jackson 3' plays new songs composed in collaboration between Jackson, Erik, and Bernd.

She shares her gratitude for the connection with God and the realization that she will never be able to leave this life until she has written the book.To participate online in a Tribe Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister, join our online community: https://programs.t

Urpi and David share their thoughts about going deep into Faith and Prayer. Beyond the words, beyond time and space and time intervals, beyond the body and 5 senses and even perception the Call to God (the Invitation of the Holy Spirit and Jesus) is Everything!!!!! Prayer of the heart: Purity. Prayer of the mind: empty of all but God!

'The Ego's Trick' - A Tribe of Christ Movie Workshop with Commentary by David Hoffmeister The movie aims to help us release our interpretations of the distorted world of linear time, a world of illusions. The ego's trick is to make up a world with vivid colors, sights, and sounds, making it seem real. This world is called Maya in the East and is made up to take the place of the light of eternity. Jesus is dismantling our linear perception of the world, which requires faith. The Bible and A Course in Miracles emphasize faith, as it comes from inside the heart and takes you all the way to God. Jesus tells us that we are an idea in the mind of God and have not left our source.To participate online in a Tribe Movie Workshop, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/products/communities/tribe-of-christIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded in the Morning, January 27, 2024, in Ca

A Tribe Movie Workshop with Commentary by David HoffmeisterThe movie "Always" is a powerful exploration of the ego's belief system, which is often resistant to change. Jesus spends nine chapters on one topic in "A Course in Miracles," focusing on the special relationship, which is the core belief of the ego. The resistance can be seen in the intense discussions about special love and hate relationships, where people may resist the deep topics.This world is tied to fear, guilt, pain, and shame as it attempts to create a substitute that will take the place of God's love. The ego's attempt to edge God out is referred to as complete amnesia, making up a darkness that life cannot enter.This first bi-weekly Tribe Movie Workshop offers a deep exploration of the ego's beliefs and the resistance to change. By understanding the ego's attempt to substitute a different reality for God and heaven, we can better navigate our relationship with God and the world around us.To participate online in a Tribe Movie Workshop, join

Movie Community Chautauqua, “JAWAN” - Commentary by David Hoffmeister, December 20, 2023The complexity of life can lead to stress, depression, and overwhelm. The core problem is a belief in duality, which is the diversity itself. Jesus shows us that those who believe in the ego have a split mind, with part of the mind remembering the truth and part forgotten. This intense split causes the opposites to arise and are accepted as just the way things are. The movie lays bare all the complexities, contradictions, and dualities, even the acceptable ones. It goes beyond romance movies, which often attract opposites, and war movies, where opposites clash. Jesus tells us that special love and hatred will not help us remember the kingdom of heaven because love has no opposite. To approach love, we must face this split in the mind and face the fearful emotions of investing in opposites.The movie also highlights the intensity of nothing being kept hidden, with characters like Vikram and Asad coming up and wanting anythin

Community Chautauqua at Casa Quantico with David Hoffmeister, December 13, 2023David starts the Chautauqua by talking about the expanding prison ministry. The prisoners are a very receptive audience to the idea of innocence, and when they get released or paroled, they are ready to go and proclaim the good news.The Holy Spirit, the spirit of joy, is the key to bringing these teachings to life. The mystical mind training program, which combines the teachings of the Course and Miracles into an audio-visual medium, has helped transfer the training. But the demonstration and action of these teachings are crucial, as they point to the moment of release and the kingdom of heaven.Jesus said, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand," and we must continue proclaiming this good news of innocence. In Australia, they say, "No worries, mate," which is another version of the kingdom of heaven. This is not a denial but a more profound sense of happiness and joy. Our life is about demonstrating happiness, joy, and the blessing of e

Movie Community Chautauqua, "Mully" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister, December 9, 2023The movie Mully, starring Charles Mully, is a powerful example of prayer, listening, and following. It unites us with the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and the Creator, focusing on our heart's desire to remember God. The movie takes place in Kenya's slums, highlighting the importance of prayer in achieving spiritual growth.Charles must pray through this world and receive and follow inner messages. Spiritual awakening often doesn't emphasize prayer, listening, and guidance. To fully wake up from a dream, one must grasp the power of prayer and the power of the mind. They must believe in guidance, whether it's an inner voice or intuitions and feelings. They must follow the guidance, which leads to joy, presence, laughter, and giggles. The gifts of prayer, listening, and following come from a deep connection with God and the power of the mind. If one has faith in prayer and is willing to give themselves wholeheartedly, everything unfolds

Community Chautauqua at Casa Quantico with David Hoffmeister, December 7, 2023,David discusses the importance of letting go and recognizing that what seems important and valuable in the world is part of a trick or deception to keep us from the present moment.He discusses Jesus' teachings on the importance of ego goals based on a timeline of past, present, and future. Jesus emphasizes that everyone who comes to this world organizes their perception based on what they believe and has a self that they create as they go along.The spiritual journey involves letting go and recognizing that what seems valuable is part of a deception to keep us from the present moment. In lesson 133, Jesus teaches us to discern valuable from valueless, moving away from high ideals and bringing the student back to practicality. He states that if something will not last forever, it has no value; if it will last forever, it is valuable. This helps us understand that gain and loss, winning and losing, and success and failure are equally

Chautauqua Movie Night 'Dreamin' Wild' - Commentary by David HoffmeisterAt the Chautauqua evening event, David commented on the movie "Dreamin' Wild." The movie explores the unconscious fears and doubts that arise from pursuing dreams. The story takes place over three decades, starting with the initial album of two brothers, Donnie and Joe, who created a great album at 15. The title of their album, "Dreaming Wild," is a metaphor for the pursuit of dreams, as it encourages the mind to explore the world of a linear Dreamland. The movie highlights the importance of pursuing dreams softly and finding happiness in the journey. The movie also highlights the importance of embracing the underbelly of guilt and shame in the mind, as Jesus encourages us to dream softly and find happiness in the journey. Overall, "Dreamin' Wild" is a powerful healing film highlighting the importance of embracing the truth and the journey of self-discovery.If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here

Community Chautauqua at Casa Quantico with David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles CommunityThis is the first Living Miracles Chautauqua, with more to come. Chautauquas expanded and spread throughout rural America until the mid-1920s. The Chautauqua brought entertainment and culture to the whole community with speakers, teachers, musicians, showpeople, preachers, and specialists of the day.During this dynamic talk, David Hoffmeister covers a number of topics, including how media is a communication tool that allows people to see, read, and listen to information. Like everything we've learned about the world, the body serves a significant purpose in unifying us through forgiveness.The Holy Spirit activates our minds to use this knowledge for a different purpose, such as seeing the false is false. The body was created as a symbol of separation in the ego's fictitious world. Jesus teaches us that the Holy Spirit can transform special relationships into holy relationships and transform the body into a learning devic

#3 Mexico City - Movie Night Commentary: Hypnotic (2023) with David HoffmeisterDavid shares a profound commentary for the movie Hypnotic, starring Ben Affleck, for the closing session in Mexico City. Marina Colombo gives the Spanish translation to the entire group.From David's commentary: Wayne Dyer's book, "When You Believe It, Then You'll See It," emphasizes the power of the mind and the fear of miscreation. People often believe they have a powerful mind, and the teachings of the new age teach that people can create their own reality. Jesus teaches that people fear their thoughts and the power of their minds, as they fear miscreation and the potential for disaster. The ego created the world and body to convince the sleeping mind that brains can think, but Jesus argues that believing in thoughts is like holding a matchstick lit to the sun.If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Join our online commun

#1 Mexico City: Opening Session - Recordar a Dios (Remember God)- One-Day RetreatDavid and the Living Miracles team share an opening session in Mexico City. Marina Colombo and Ana Paola offer the Spanish translations of David's English spoken words.This day's theme is remembering God, which requires us to forget this world and come with open arms to our God. Jesus calls us to remember God before time, as He was before Abraham, and we are. The Course in Miracles teaches us that atonement is a complete escape from the past, and the ego does not understand this. To remember God, we must forget all thoughts of time and be practical. Jesus knows we need steps to accept this, such as vanishing memories, letting go of everything we've learned, and even letting go of the future. The ego has invented linear time, splitting time into past and future compartments, part of being human. The belief in the past and future is a trick to keep us from remembering God.If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living

Movie Night at La Casa de Milagros 'When Harry Met Sally,' Commentary by David HoffmeisterThe Bible and A Course in Miracles both emphasize that all things work together for good for those who love the Lord. This applies to perception and relationships, as they all have the same purpose and are purposeful. Jesus calls every relationship maximal in terms of teaching and learning.The Course explains that teachers of God have no set teaching level. Still, each teaching-learning situation involves different relationships with the ultimate goal of making the relationship holy. The third level of teaching occurs in lifelong relationships, where each person is given a chosen learning partner who presents unlimited learning opportunities. These relationships are generally few because they involve a perfect teaching-learning balance. Enjoy David's commentary on the movie "When Harry Met Sally."
