"There's really only one of us." - A Tribe of Christ Movie Commentary by David Hoffmeister
"There's really only one of us." - A Tribe of Christ Movie Commentary by David Hoffmeister.In this movie commentary, David focuses on the unity of life. He reminds us that 'A Course in Miracles' is a radical redefinition of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, focusing on teaching only love for what is what one is. This interpretation of the crucifixion emphasizes the importance of finding love in one's life and with God. The phrase "there's really only one of us" is used to emphasize the unity of the mind, which is not limited to the five senses. The belief in separation has generated a cosmic projection of time and space with different cultures, languages, and planets. Jesus teaches that the spirit never enters the world and that the world is a screen of projections.The first lesson of the Course is "Nothing I see means anything at all." This realization can make everything we perceive, including the body and the five senses, irrelevant. The awareness of the Spirit is also important, as the Spirit doesn't die but is pure love. This awareness can set us free from the belief system of separation, allowing us to see that our mistakes, achievements, and flaws are nothing. The first lesson of the Course is a powerful reminder that we are all One and that everything we perceive is an illusion.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 you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, July 27, 2024, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

Session 7 - “Holistic Vision: Unveiling the World Beyond Ego and Illusions" - Closing Session with David and Jason
Session 7 - "Holistic Vision: Unveiling the World Beyond Ego and Illusions" - Closing Session with David and JasonDavid and Jason end this year's Strawberry Fields Festival by talking about the purpose of life and emphasizing the importance of seeing the world holistically, involving faith and trust that everyone will play their part perfectly. The ego attempts to divide the world into roles and categories, organizing it based on a false preference system. The first principle of the 50 miracle principles is there's no order of difficulty in miracles and no hierarchy of illusions.Jesus saw the world without a preference and felt the universal love of God, radiating and sharing inclusively with everyone. Jesus was open and cordial with the Zealots, who were angry and trying to overthrow the Romans. The focus is on cultivating a deeper understanding of the world, not trying to forgive people but letting Jesus take us deeper into our minds to see the world as a whole. Jesus takes great care in describing his role as an elder brother, not placing himself above or below people. He emphasizes that the body is a learning device for the mind, and the ego often over-evaluates it. A personality is an over-evaluation of a learning device.Recorded Sunday, July 14, 2024, in Living Miracles Monastery, Utah, USA

Session 6 - “Perception Unveiled: From Cracked Mirrors to Unified Awareness” Movie Night with David
Session 6 - “Perception Unveiled: From Cracked Mirrors to Unified Awareness” Movie Night with DavidIn the second movie night at the Strawberry Fields Festival David discusses the importance of changing one's internal perspective and perception of the world. He suggest that before accepting a correction, one must admit to having a problem, such as a perceptual problem, which allows the Holy Spirit to work to change one's perception.This problem can be likened to schizophrenia, where multiple voices and a belief in a break from reality characterize a split mind. David explains that a perceptual problem is like a cracked mirror, shattered into trillions of different parts. This cracked perception is not holistic, as Eastern Masters emphasize. Unified awareness is about wholeness, and the movie Tonight demonstrates the need for holistic perception to find peace. David emphasizes to see the world in a more balanced and holistic way rather than focusing on individual aspects.Recorded Sunday July 14, at Living Miracles Monastery, Utah, USA

Session 4 - Strawberry Fields Festival 2024 - Morning Session with Q&A for David Hoffmeister
Session 4 - Strawberry Fields Festival 2024 - Morning Session with Q&A for David HoffmeisterDavid starts the session by talking about music. Music is a higher form of communication that goes directly to our hearts, bypassing concept analysis and intellectual maneuverings. It is a theme in today's activities, as it serves as the soundtrack of our experience on Earth. The movie tonight will be strong in the music and collaboration themes, as Jesus teaches us that miracles are a collaborative venture. Jesus also teaches us that the solitary journey to God fails because it is of joining and connecting.David emphasizes the importance of understanding that our union is in our minds and that we share the same mind with God. Jesus teaches us that our earthly conditions differ from the kingdom of heaven and that we long for a sense of connection, relaxation, ease, flow, and harmony. This longing is our natural condition, and Jesus tells us we long for these things because it is how we were created.Competition can hinder our connection and unity. Jesus encourages us to come together without the pressure of productivity or trying to forge a desired outcome. Instead, we should come together like in jam sessions where everyone plays their part, letting the music come through naturally without any sense of trying to direct or control it personally.Recorded on the morning of July 14, 2024, at the Living Miracles Monastery in Utah, USA

Singers like Janis Joplin and The Grateful Dead also emerged as part of this movement.The movie follows a young preacher who meets a traditional pastor. This meeting is orchestrated to expand consciousness and let go of the past. The traditional generation meets the new generation, but Jesus is behind the meeting.The movie explores the spiritual journey of a young man from the Midwest who moves west after leaving his father behind. He searches for meaning and finds solace in his story. The movie highlights the difficulty people face in spiritual awakening due to their upbringing and the Christian language.People have faced resistance to A Course in Miracles, particularly those raised with a Christianity based on sin, penance, and sacrifice. Many people have turned off Jesus for fear of him, but the movie provides a chance to see the potential for spiritual awakening.Recorded July 13, Evening 2024, at Living Miracles Monastery, Utah, USA

Session 1 - “Embracing Divine Trust: A Journey from Dreams to Awakening” 🌟 Strawberry Fields Festival 2024
Session 1 - "Embracing Divine Trust: A Journey from Dreams to Awakening" 🌟 Strawberry Fields Festival 2024 with David Hoffmeister and Jason WarwickThe opening session of the Strawberry Fields Festival 2024 starts and ends with three songs from the RISE band. David and Jason did the welcoming talk, and David felt the synchronicity with the day's lesson, which emphasizes the importance of placing the future in God's hands, a concept that requires enormous trust. This trust is crucial as we have been conditioned to learn the past and plan the future, often leading to ambition and a focus on education and jobs. Trust is the foundation of a teacher of God and allows us to relax and feel divine ease.David and Jason welcome all participants to their little experience of paradise. They first came out in 2009 and started hosting celebrations and festivals in this rural canyon. One of Eric's songs, "Let Life Unfold," reminds us to let life unfold by allowing our experiences in this world to be given to us. The prayer, "Holy Spirit, decide for God for me," encourages us to let the Holy Spirit paint a picture of our lives, letting the light beams shine through and light up the dream.Jesus tells us to go from nightmares to waking, with a transition between happy dreams and gentle waking. This process helps us to feel softer and gentler, making the struggle and challenge easier.If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded, July 13, 2024, at Living Miracles Monastery, Utah, USA

“From Illusion to Reality: The Mind’s Creative Power” - A Tribe of Christ Movie Commentary by David Hoffmeister
"From Illusion to Reality: The Mind's Creative Power" - A Tribe of Christ Movie Commentary by David HoffmeisterIn this exploration of consciousness and perception, David delves into Jesus' teachings and the concept of manifesting. We discover that our minds hold immense power beyond mere brain function. By shifting from wrong-mindedness to right-mindedness, forgiving, and recognizing our creative potential, we can move from illusion to a more authentic reality. Love, light, and holistic perception guide our journey toward awakening.Jesus teaches us that we are not victims of anything we perceive in the world because we made it up with the power of our minds. By coming to a pristine state of mind of non-judgment, we can look upon the happy dream or the real world.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 you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded, June 29, 2024, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

A Course in Miracles (ACIM) Podcast: Faith Beyond the Concept of Ownership
In Purpose there are no possessions, no ownership, and nothing to protect or defend. In Purpose there is a feeling of timelessness. In Purpose there are no goals in form and no expectations or agendas. In Purpose nothing is clung to, organized, or planned. All things are welcomed in the gentle Gaze of forgiveness. Everything is included in mind and nothing is seen as separate or apart. All things work together for good for there is no attempt to judge or divide what is obviously whole and complete. Certainty of Purpose yields certainty. And contentment comes at last to a mind that is Still an instant. Nothing else could ever be.

“Forgiveness and Awakening: Embracing the Holy Instant” - A Tribe of Christ Movie Commentary by David Hoffmeister
"Forgiveness and Awakening: Embracing the Holy Instant" - Movie Commentary by David HoffmeisterThe Saturday Movie Workshop presents a fantastic film that opens us to the Holy Instant and God's love through relationships. It uses the metaphor of interpersonal relationships and the Holy Spirit to help us understand the truth of Life and the importance of relationships.The film uses the symbol of interpersonal relationships to take us beyond the personal perception of things and toward the vast perspective of the Holy Spirit. Right-minded seeing, which is the residence of the Holy Spirit, can only see love. When giving ourselves over to spiritual awakening, we want the perspective of the Holy Spirit, which is what forgiveness is. Jesus does not see error, and we must raise our minds to the light and cleanse our minds of erroneous ego beliefs so that we can see with the vision of Christ and the light of truth. We need the Holy Spirit and Jesus to help us separate the true from the false because human perception combines right-minded and wrong-minded perceptions.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 you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded, June 15, 2024, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

“Beyond Perception: A Journey to True Awakening” A Tribe of Christ Movie Commentary by David Hoffmeister
“Beyond Perception: A Journey to True Awakening” A Tribe of Christ Movie Commentary by David HoffmeisterDavid is excited to present a new classic movie, which has won many awards. The movie highlights the importance of unlearning the perceptual world and the five senses present with it. The world is a linear nightmare that has been accepted as real, and our attempts to establish an identity and make-believe body personality are not valid. Jesus teaches that we come without a self and make one as we go along, taking on roles such as mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and parents.The movie touches on many deep themes, such as suicide, death, memory, opportunity, autonomy, possession, ownership, control, jealousy, commitment, unlearning, discovering purpose, curiosity, independence, repression, pleasure, pain, hedonism, money, sex, poverty, abundance, philosophy, socialism, and forgiveness. With the Holy Spirit's help, we can empty our minds of false concepts, beliefs, and emotions, leading to a more fulfilling life.David also discusses ACIM Lesson 153, "In my defenselessness, my safety lies," which emphasizes the importance of staying with Jesus in the Spirit and letting go of the falsity of the ego. David hopes this movie will help address these daily urges, desires, and distractions and bring the mind back to forgiveness. Hopefully, this movie will be the last one we ever need, as it touches something profound and essential inside.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 you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded, June 1, 2024, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.
