David Hoffmeister & A Course In Miracles

Movie Workshop - How to Accept Your Brothers as They Are - with David HoffmeisterDavid talks about A Course in Miracles and how it teaches the importance of accepting oneself and others as they are, recognizing that we are not really a body and that the notion of the body is a hallucination. David also emphasizes the authority problem and how turning over our belief systems to the Holy Spirit is essential. Additionally, he delves into the difference between false empathy and true empathy and the importance of inclusiveness and releasing guilt from the mind. The movie "Her" is also used as an example of the representation of private thoughts and the need to free oneself from the belief in them.

Opening Session - Miracle of the Mind Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuFrances and David have been making monthly online retreats for the last five and a half years, and this weekend is the last one, called "Miracle of the Mind." David believes that the spiritual journey is about purifying what we want and that it sets us on an automatic trajectory once we realize what we want. Then, the power of the mind, the miracle state of mind, will carry us through. Jesus tells us that words are symbols of the symbols twice removed from reality and that the prayer of the heart takes us to communion with God, not the words. Jerry Jampolsky's quote, "Remember the peace of God is my one goal," is a reminder that the desire of the heart is the key to returning the mind to the full awareness of truth. Only in complete trust in God and the Holy Spirit can we truly experience present peace. This online retreat aims to help people relax and trust God and the Holy Spirit.Enjoy David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu'

How to Trust, Now! - Online Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterIn this movie workshop, David explores the theme of trust and experiencing the purity of the heart. He delves into the concept of purification of the heart through releasing false beliefs, accepting the truth, and stepping into simultaneity, recognizing that the ego creates a false sense of self that is reflected in psychological disorders. David uses examples from the TV show Star Trek to explain how the ego drives beliefs that eventually lead to negative emotions and how individuals can transcend the ego to embrace their destiny and connect with the love of God. Ultimately, the journey towards the light entails facing our beliefs directly and letting go of our attachment to the imaginary world.To learn more about the Weekly Movie Workshops, look here:https://bit.ly/ACIM-Movie-Workshop.You can watch the introduction to the movie workshop on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/2lJKHUCZxXULook for more info on David Hoffmeister and upcoming events:

It's the Holy Week, and it's Good Friday. In this opening session, David and Frances emphasized the importance of focusing on the correction and not the error.

How to Have It All Handled by Inspiration - Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterDavid discusses the importance of the Holy Week, the week from Palm Sunday to Easter, as it serves as a beam of light that pierces through humanity's fog of ignorance and separation, helping everyone realize their divine nature.

Trusting in inspiration means letting go of fear and false responsibility and living moment by moment based on what feels most inspiring. David also discusses the ideas of zero percent reliance on senses, perfect equality, and the importance of authenticity and transparency. Lastly, David emphasizes the story of Mary Magdalene and Jesus as reminders of God's oneness and love leading up to the celebration of Easter.Enjoy the profound commentary by David Hoffmeister.To learn more about the Weekly Movie Workshops, look here: https://bit.ly/ACIM-Movie-Workshop.You can watc

Being okay with not knowing what's coming "next" - I know you've got me! - Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister."Being okay with not knowing what's coming next. I know you've got me." How's that for a theme? If you go into this theme, you will have less interest in world events because you're not so interested in what's coming next. Your question is not how will it end, but how do I feel right now? That's a more practical question. Jesus likes being practical. How do I feel now? That is beautiful. He's saying let go of your past learning. Just stay with me, step by step. I got you. He called me, and He answered, "Yes, I do. I have got you. And I will guide you step by step.

Finding Out There Is No World - Online Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterThis week's movie is the ultimate forgiveness movie and will take viewers symbolically toward the light. He emphasizes that true forgiveness is about forgiving the ego and not just individuals and that forgiveness is necessary to remove barriers to the awareness of love's presence. Love is far beyond the awareness of this world and requires forgiveness. David speaks about the concept of being born again in spirit, which involves being fully present and giving up the belief in the horizontal plane. He explains that true forgiveness involves overlooking the belief in separation rather than forgiving individual people.

"Pray, Listen & Follow" Online Weekend Retreat - Closing Session with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuIn this session, David and Frances discuss and answer questions on the retreat theme of learning to pray, listen, and follow. They express their gratitude for the attendees' heartfelt questions and interactions. They also discuss the movie shown during the event, which they see as a metaphor for stepping into one's calling and following God's voice. The conversation then turns to the original four people who brought A Course in Miracles into being. When they finished scribing the Course, they didn't know what to do with it. The four prayed together and heard the guidance to "commit first." They didn't have preconceived ideas of the outcome, which allowed them to receive unexpected guidance that led to a lifelong collaboration. David quotes a passage from the Course that suggests that every decision is for the whole sonship and can influence a larger constellation of events.Enjoy this Closing Session from

Trust that Jesus Will Carry Me - Pray, Listen & Follow Online Retreat - Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterOh, What a beautiful Retreat Weekend. We are going deep into the topic of prayer. Let's call it our new lifestyle of PRAY, LISTEN, and FOLLOW. In the past, we were trying to be educated and learn about the world. Learn how to analyze, compare, and do things based on past learning so we can survive as a person and a body and, hopefully, grow old and eventually die.Work hard, grow old, get sick, and die. But, hmm. Maybe there's more than that. Maybe there's more. Perhaps, we had it all wrong. Maybe we were in a fantasy land trying to make the best of this world. You know, try to be a decent person and then try to make it into old age and then yeah, and then succumb to death like everyone else. Maybe we had it wrong. Maybe there's a higher calling for us than such trivial pursuits. Enjoy the profound commentary on "'The Girl Who Believes in Miracles" by David Hoffmeister.To learn more about the Weekly

3 Steps to Awakening: Pray, Listen & FollowIf you were at a movie theater and your attention went to the screen, you perceive everything personally through the dream character. You seem to see the things in the dream with the body's eyes and hear with the body's ears.When we learn to pray, the prayer of our heart is to come in touch with our desire for God and to start to activate the miracle in our mind. We're all being activated to be miracle workers, but the miracles come to our minds through our consciousness from the Holy Spirit and Jesus. Then they extend and radiate out into the world that we perceive. To the screen, but when we try to interpret, PRAY, LISTEN, and FOLLOW in terms of the dream character, we'll still find doubt. Critical thoughts, and belief in failure, because it's not like the dream character wakes up. The mind dreams the world, and the dream character needs to forgive and wake up. And so when we look at PRAY, LISTEN, and FOLLOW, we tend to interpret things through the personality

Go from “I Can Do It” to “You Do It Through Me” - Online Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister.Jesus and all the mystics and saints of the last 2,000 years have had the same message. Empty your mind of everything you think you think and think you know. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, "Judge not, lest you be judged".If you hold a concept in your mind about your identity, then you will see the whole world through the filter of that concept. For example, if you have a concept of a body, you believe you're a body. You see everybody as bodies. You see animals as bodies, You might even say a tree has a tree body, or a cloud has a cloud body. It's everything.You see, anything that you can think of in time and space is part of the self-concept, and that means that what Jesus is teaching us with the Course is that as long as you look through the filter of the ego, you will see yourself and everyone, and everything in a very distorted way as if it's fragmented and separate. So the whole message of A Course in M

Realize I no longer want to try to control this world - Online Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister.I think some of you realize deep down that you can't control the world, but you are still trying daily. You try with people around you or your cat or dog, and you try with the environment. You try to have an opinion, and of course, it doesn't matter what that attempt is. It doesn't go very well. We are never delighted when we're trying to control the world, even when we try to control the body. Maybe you try to control the weight of your body or the shape of your body, or the look and appearance of your body: parents and children, partners and lovers, other community members. Whenever we think we can control anybody, we are lined up with the ego and won't be happy because we weren't meant to be controllers. We are terrible controllers. We can see it's been a mess, if we are honest. We're never really in control of the situation. And when we finally realize that, we forgive it and feel so happy instantly. Enjoy

Knowing the Path is Already Laid Out for You - Online Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister"The Truman Show" is a film that explores several themes; it questions the nature of reality and the role of fate in our lives. Truman, the main character, lives in a manufactured world where everything is controlled and manipulated for a TV show. David suggests that our experiences, like Truman's, may not always be authentic and that forces that seem beyond our control may predetermine our lives. Another aspect of the movie is the theme of self-discovery and the search for meaning in life. Truman embarks on a journey to find the truth about his life and the world around him, which can be seen as a metaphor for the spiritual quest for enlightenment and understanding.He ultimately learns to question what he has been told and trust his instincts and experiences, which can be interpreted as an encouragement to seek the truth and our ultimate purpose. In this sense, "The Truman Show" can be seen as a commentary on the impor

David discusses the upcoming movie "The Truman Show" in teaching the metaphysics for spiritual Awakening through forgiveness as taught by Jesus in A Course In Miracles. Join in watching the movie this weekend.From Jesus:No one wants madness, nor does anyone cling to his madness if he sees that this is what it is. ²What protects madness is the belief that it is true. ³It is the function of insanity to take the place of truth. ⁴It must be seen as truth to be believed. ⁵And if it is the truth, then must its opposite, which was the truth before, be madness now. ⁶Such a reversal, completely turned around, with madness sanity, illusions true, attack a kindness, hatred love, and murder benediction, is the goal the laws of chaos serve. ⁷These are the means by which the laws of God appear to be reversed. ⁸Here do the laws of sin appear to hold love captive, and let sin go free. (ACIM, T-23.II.14:1-8)No one can waken from a dream the world is dreaming for him. ²He becomes a part of someone else’s dream. ³He cannot cho
