#8 Movie Session - Mystical Community Living Retreat with David HoffmeisterDavid discusses the importance of mind training in understanding the inner and outer world. He argues that people often focus on projections and misperceptions, believing that the external world is separate from their mind. Jesus teaches that our thoughts are images created by our ego, which misperceives everything. Mind training aims to show that the inner and outer world are the same and that there is nothing outside of us. David also talks about the concept of unified awareness, which is the belief that all consciousness is mind. He emphasizes the need for prayer, faith, and trust in practicing the teachings of Jesus and the importance of a spiritual community, which emphasizes the importance of prayer, authenticity, and heart-to-heart conversations.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 community: https://programs.the-christ.net/products/communities/tribe-of-christRecorded in the Evening of October 4, 2023, at Living Miracles Monastery in Utah, USA.

#7 Movie Session, "Ascension Through Relationships" Mystical Community Living Retreat with David HoffmeisterThis movie session focuses on demystifying relationships and their purpose, including forgiveness, protection, security, safety, validation, importance, love, substitution, and acceptance. David emphasizes the importance of seeking love within ourselves and not pursuing it outside ourselves. He also discusses the concept of mesmerism, where we seek love in various forms but fail to find it. David uses the Matrix trilogy, where Neo's problem is choice and Jesus' metaphorical message that the greatest gift is the choice to accept oneself as spirit. The ultimate gift is redemption, not a person, but a salvation of the mind.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 community: https://programs.the-christ.net/products/communities/tribe-of-christRecorded in the Evening of October 3, 2023, at Living Miracles Monastery in Utah, USA.

#6 Morning Session - Mystical Community Living with David Hoffmeister and Kirsten BuxtonThere is a passage in A Course in Miracles, and when David first read it, his heart chords were going strong. I was just like, "Oh my," because this was the beginning of my journey of how I would be used in this world. The passage emphasizes the importance of trusting in the Holy Spirit and letting the Holy Spirit direct one's life. It suggests that one should focus on fulfilling one's purpose, not preparing for the world or saving for the future. This goes against our conditioning and goes against our expectations.The passage also emphasizes that the Holy Spirit will arrange everything for us without our effort, leaving no obstacles or stones to trip on. David believes that focusing on trust and guidance will set one free, even if it seems like a big book. Taking intuitive steps like coming for this retreat can lead to a deeper understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven.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 community: https://programs.the-christ.net/products/communities/tribe-of-christRecorded in the morning of October 3, 2023, at Living Miracles Monastery in Utah, USA.

#4 Movie Session - Mystical Community Living Retreat with David HoffmeisterIn this movie Session, David discusses the concept of healing as a state of mind, with the mind being the decision-maker. Atonement involves letting go of the belief in choices and accepting the Holy Spirit's presence in the present moment. This recognition costs the whole world. David emphasizes the importance of guidance, which dissolves intellectual, philosophical, and conceptual questions into peace and understanding that cannot be found apart.The purpose of retreats is to provide direct experiences, joy, peace, happiness, connection, and healing, and guidance is the answer to any question, not about the past or future, but about being guided in the present moment. The key is the willingness to pray, listen, and follow in this moment, as it is designed to unwind the false self-concept created by the ego.

Movie and Q&A Session, Mystical Community Living Retreat with David HoffmeisterAs an introduction to the Turkish movie 'In Your Dreams,' David discusses the importance of mind training and clearing the mind. He explains that everything we experience in the world is a projection of our belief system, and it is crucial to be aware of this. David talks about the concept of the linear world of time and space, which Jesus teaches us is a projection of thoughts. He emphasizes that the Holy Spirit never comes into the body, and the world is a mesmerism, with specifics and opposites. The Holy Spirit uses the ego's puppet to communicate and heal, highlighting the need to loosen ourselves from this addiction to linear time and form.The movie "In Your Dreams," features Engin, a construction company owner, and his girlfriend and is a relationship-awakening comedy movie. The movie highlights the importance of autonomy, which is associated with freedom of the body and the person, but ultimately, true autonomy comes from God, as stated by Jesus.After the commentary, David takes questions and comments from the retreat participants.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 community: https://programs.the-christ.net/products/communities/tribe-of-christRecorded on September 30, 2023, at Living Miracles Monastery in Utah, USA.
