David Hoffmeister & A Course In Miracles

Closing Session "Purpose is Everything" Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuThe underlying purpose of the world is still unchanged. It is still saying that something is lacking here and that the world can provide it for me. So let me get get get get and see what I couldn't get to fulfill this lag inside. So we're trying to manipulate relationships, manipulate every situation to get something. Still, regardless, you reach a point where you realize that you can't get what you want from the world, and that's not a tiny realization but, in most cases, leaves you disillusioned. When you see, there is nothing to get, and you give up. But, at that moment, you don't see a body anymore; you begin to see kindness. You love children, you love people, and you become generous. You become a true giver.Enjoy David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu's closing session for this monthly Heart of Christ online retreat with the topic 'Purpose is Everything.'If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Mirac

Forgiveness: Uncovering Lessons in Every Situation - Online Retreat Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterLike with computers, while you believe in duality, everything is part of a binary system, zeros, and ones. We're finding that the world isn't that complicated now. In linear time, we're saying no to God, and by saying yes to God, we accept the holy instant in perfect innocence. A simple yes or no. This world is true or false. Love is true, and the rest is not.Jesus is teaching us only an instant does this world endure. Everything boils down to one instant, and in A Course in Miracles, Jesus calls this one instance the unholy instant, and the correction is, of course, the Holy Instant. So what Jesus is telling us is that our issue is a time issue and that whenever we try to get from this projected world esteem, recognition, pleasure, comfort, and convenience, we're still looking into the unholy instant to try to find our happiness.Enjoy the profound commentary on "Groundhog Day" by David Hoffmeister.

Opening Session - Purpose is Everything - The Heart of Christ Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuJesus says in A Course in Miracles, You have been called, together with your brother, to the holiest function this world contains. It is the only one with no limits and reaches out to every broken fragment of the Sonship with healing and uniting comfort. At the beginning of this journey, you can feel quite clueless about what you are called into, letting up all your darkness and being called to join with your brothers in authentic ways. But soon, bubbling joy starts in your heart, maybe for the first time. When you feel this way, you realize there is no reason to return to a depressing state of trying to make it in this world. If Heaven feels this way to you, that's all you want. That's all you would give your life over to. You have to make a conscious choice. 'I want happiness. I like this bubbling joy to be forever for me. That's all there is. Then suddenly, when you are looking back, with this

How to Find the Holy Spirit’s Prompts in Your Mind - Online Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterEven when you contact the Holy Spirit, you start to live a much more intuitive life and much less of an analytical life. However, when you focus more on the present moment and less on the past, you will still find that you must become very conscious of where you reject or ignore the Spirit's prompts. Jesus told us, let your yes be yes and let your no be no; the Spirit's guidance will not be saying yes to everything and everyone; it will require discernment. And there will be times when you must let the Spirit put the word in your mouth - Yes. And sometimes you must let the Spirit put the word in your mouth - No. But the Holy Spirit is the one who's helping the mind navigate toward the light.You have to start to learn to forgive the past and forgive the person and forgive the image that has been made to take the place of Christ. It's about letting go of the self, which the ego made, and letting the light shine thro

Strengthen My Inner Connection with the Spirit - Online Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterPretty early on in the beginning of the second chapter of A Course in Miracles, Jesus offers a prayer; 'I am here only to be truly helpful. I'm here to represent Him who sent Me. I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, he who sent me will direct me, and I'm content to be wherever he wishes, knowing he goes there with me. I will heal as I let him teach me to heal.' So whenever Jesus puts the words 'truly helpful' in a prayer, that's an interesting, open-ended prayer that means we have to unlearn a lot of our beliefs and thoughts, which the ego believes is truly helpful, and let the Holy Spirit replace it. Who knows what is truly helpful at any moment? Enjoy the profound commentary on "The Peaceful Warrior" by David Hoffmeister.

Accept the Gentle Unfolding of God's Plan - Online Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterAccept the gentle unfolding of God's plan. For most of us, when we're going through trials, challenges, and tribulations, we doubt there is a plan. We seriously doubt it. We think this is madness. The world is madness. My life is madness, and there's no way out. It seems like we're stuck in hell. And so when we have emotional difficulties, we feel, if there is a plan, I don't know what it is. And if there is a plan, it's a mystery to me. That is the human perspective. We like the idea of happiness. We like the idea of joy and freedom, but we only randomly seem to have access to it until we go into deep prayer and surrender. Then it's like, wow, maybe I've been wrong about the whole thing. And perhaps I need some help. I need help here. God help me! Let me accept the gentle unfolding of God's plan.Enjoy the profound commentary on "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" by David Hoffmeister.

Closing Session - The Light Has Come Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuThe Kingdom of Heaven is a spiritual Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Heaven is a state of mind. It's a beatitude. It's a presence of mind that is entirely independent of the body. And so when you ask if healing involves bodily activity. I would say it consists of the purpose or the use of the body, but not the body's activities. If everything's an illusion, which it is, and the body is an illusion, it can't mean whether the body is active or inactive is essential. What Jesus tells us is that the miracle is involuntary and shouldn't be under conscious control. And so we have to get into every moment. What would you have me do? Where would you have me go? What would you have me say? I'm here, I'm giving my body over to you, Spirit, and I'm no longer in charge of it. I take zero responsibility for it. And I'm going to give it entirely over to you and then the miracles start to happen.Enjoy David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu's Clos

Movie Workshop - The Light Has Come Online Retreat with David HoffmeisterThe theme of The Light Has Come is profound because it teaches us who we are. It's the answer to everything as being a divine creation of God. It's the spirit. It's the Christ idea, the pure Christ idea, and that Christ idea is pure light. And so when we say the light has come, it means that right now, that light is fully available to us through a decision to forgive the world and accept our I Am Presence before time. It's an invitation to go beyond time into this amazing state of being.Enjoy David Hoffmeister's Movie session for this monthly Into the Heart of Christ online retreat with the topic 'The Light Has Come.'

Opening Session - 'The Light Has Come' Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuWhen we say the light has come, what we're doing today is opening to an actual state of mind already there. Or we could say it already here. It's not a future thing. The temptation is to believe that things would improve if the circumstances of my worldly life changed. It could be my body or my relationships, but that's just the temptation to defend against the light that has come. Nothing needs to change in form. Only our perspectives on the world have to change.If the light has come, and Jesus is not putting an IF in front of that statement. He is just teaching. The light has come with no ifs, ands, or buts. In other words, it's not hypothetical. People say to me, I know I'm only love, and we're all one, but... But means there's an exception. And Jesus is not giving us an exception when he says The Light Has Come. Enjoy David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu's opening session for this monthly Heart of Christ online retreat

Stay Focused on My Spirit-Given Function - Online Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterGod didn't create anything in time and space. God didn't create time. God didn't create space. God didn't create gravity. God didn't create motion, black holes, stars, and gasses. God didn't even create what we would call light that travels through time and space at lightspeed. He didn't create anything changing. Wow. Everything in this cosmos is changing. I've even seen billboards that say the only constant thing is change. No. Christ is changeless, and Spirit is changeless. God is changeless life. Eternal Love and Light, in reality, are changeless.Enjoy the profound commentary on "Einstein and Eddington" by David Hoffmeister.

Have No Fear of Consequences - Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterIsn't that a great way to live? Live every moment of your life without any fear of consequences? Who wants to fear a bunch of hypothetical consequences that don't exist? Why would we live our life based on fear when we have everything we need and want? When we say, God, I want to live in happiness. I want to live in joy. I want to live in peace. That request is granted to us now, and the only thing that prevents us from experiencing that joy and happiness is a belief in a hypothetical future, which is a projection of the past. So when we are afraid of potential consequences that could come to us as a body or a personality. We're just into erroneous thinking. We're thinking thoughts of nothingness with the ego, and we don't have to hold on to those thoughts. We can be free right now. Enjoy the profound commentary on "Last Holiday" by David Hoffmeister.

Coming into true honesty - Being aligned with the source in what I think, say, and do.We want to live an honest life and feel we're lined up with our source because our source is love, happiness, joy, and peace. That's really in our hearts. That's what we're praying for. We want to have a happy, joyful life. And to stay aligned with the source, we must accept ourselves as God created us. The ego made the body; the ego made the personality and the perceptual world of time and space. It made the stars and the planets and the mountains and the trees. The ego projected a world meant to be a hiding place, as Jesus says in the Course of place, where God could enter not. The world was made as a veil to cover our true identity as pure love. The world was made as a distracting device to distract us from going within and finding the love within our hearts. And the world was made as a place of hatred and sorrow, and many of us have gone through a lot of experiences that were pretty difficult, pretty dark experiences, bu

Rising into Light with David Hoffmeister, Frances Xu and Lisa Fair live at La Casa de Milagros - Christian MysticismDo you choose to join the crucifixion, or do you decide to join the resurrection? It's a question that Jesus poses directly to us today. Which one do you choose to join? The next question is, do you decide to stay imprisoned? Or do you prefer to ascend to your father like rising to the light? These two are the same question, and the answer is the same. Choose to believe in the resurrection because the resurrection has already been accomplished. It has been accomplished in you. It was not accomplished out there 2000 years ago on the cross. The resurrection lives in you. If I choose to live out the crucifixion mentality as if I'm crucified all day long, everybody else is crucified with me, but I can rise knowing that the resurrection is right here, right now. I can choose to exercise it and decide to live it. There is no excuse anymore to say I have to wait to forgive. I can exercise my willpower;

Always Remember What The Purpose Is - Movie Workshop with David HoffmeisterThe ego tries to use all differences to convince your mind, which is asleep, that it's different from all the other minds. The ego always emphasizes differences and the Holy Spirit always says, No, you're the perfect Christ. You're the perfect child of God. You always have been, and you always will be. You're created as perfect love. So there's nothing you can do to change that and the innocence that you are. You may dream that you're not worthy, but truly you are. You may dream that you're not enough. But you're the Christ, and the Christ is everything. So, whatever seems to be happening in the dream is not reality, whereas the light of Christ is real. So quite simply, we might say that the only purpose in this world that is worthy of your mind is forgiveness or releasing illusions from your mind so that you can see with the vision of Christ. Spiritual vision is pure light. So when you forgive most sincerely, you become aware of the

Closing Session - Reborn in the Light of Christ - A Tabula Rasa Weekend Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuYou can't bring the truth into the illusion. We've all read many self-help books, and most of us probably have a whole library of self-help books, but actually, the Course is not about self-help. It's saying, the self that God created doesn't need any help. There's a little child in you, the Christ child, who wants to go home and needs to be quiet for a while. Now that's the kind of Self-help that draws you into the stillness and helps you rest your mind from all the foolish pursuits you've given yourself over to. That's trying to loosen from the roles you've learned where you believe your worth is tied to achieving something in the world or being good at something. The role of forgiveness is letting go of all the concepts and emptying your mind, and it's not something that you can attain in the world. You don't get a forgiveness certificate. Peace of mind comes to you, but you don't get

Trust That All Is Taken Care Of - Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister - Movie 'Man of God'Trust that all is taken care of - no more need to plan and scheme. Your need for learning ends when you realize that all is taken care of because what we have learned from the ego has been fear. It's tricked us into believing that we're frail and weak and that we are at the mercy of time and space and all the laws of this world—the laws of economics and relationships. Imagine if you were carefree and didn't have any attachments. It didn't matter what was happening because all was taken care of, regardless of circumstances or situations. Have an abiding, strong trust that all is taken care of.Enjoy David Hoffmeister's Movie session for this monthly Tabula Rasa weekend online retreat with the topic 'Reborn in the Light of Christ'.

Opening Session - Reborn in the Light of Christ - A Tabula Rasa Weekend Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuHeaven is just pure being. The light just is. You could just summarize all of heaven with two words. God is! Isn't that refreshing? How simple; God is. But we learn and believe that this mask of linear time and space, this mask of a world, of a whole cosmos. A giant seeming Cosmos with time, space, stars, black holes, quasars, and planets. All that is like a linear defense against the light. And so when we have a topic like reborn in the light of Christ, we're asking to be taken back so deep inside, to where the truth still is in us. The I Am Presence is still there. The eternal love is still there, the love we were created in. We were made in God's love and are a child of love. We are an extension of light.
