A Course in Miracles (ACIM) Podcast

Opening Session - Heralds of Eternity - Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuJesus is saying in A Course in Miracles that there is no universal theology, but there is a universal experience, and he's encouraging us to go for the experience. If you find theology or metaphysics helpful, incredible. Suppose you see things in psychology, education, or poetry as applicable, excellent. But our focus is when we're talking about the Heralds of Eternity, on a direct experience. We're not focusing on concepts. We're not focusing on the scaffolding because the Spirit can use lots of different scaffolding. I rather have a direct experience of who I am as Christ and a direct experience of God. So, in the end, that's why lesson 189 says, forget this world. Forget this course and come with fully empty hands into your God. We're just a band of seeming people worldwide focused on the experience.Enjoy David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu's opening session for this monthly Tabula Rasa weekend online retreat with the topic 'Heralds of Eternity'.

Documentary "How To Change Your Mind - Episode 3" Lifelong Dedication to the Calling by David Hoffmeister - A Weekly Online Movie WorkshopIf you look at things of the world and the things you only give partial attention to or partial devotion to, it will come out sloppy. If you're not attentive to your driving skills, it gets messy. Suppose you're not careful to clean your house. Notice that the house gets dirty and disorganized and if you're trying to learn something, and you don't give it a full effort, then the chances are, you're not going to do well. So unless you give your whole heart and attention to the Holy Spirit to transcend the ego, you will not succeed. You can't hope that you can give it a 90% effort and transcend the ego because the ego will be laughing at that 10% and say Oh, I can make this 10% into madness. Thank you. I'm a death wish, so I'll wreak havoc in your mind. Enjoy David Hoffmeister's commentary and profound A Course in Miracles content in this episode 3 of the Netflix documentary series 'How to change your mind,' The new science of psychedelics, and learn about Lifelong Dedication to the Calling.You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PWh5zS5a0Rg.If you want to know more about Living Miracles, and the Weekly Movie Workshops, look here: https://bit.ly/ACIM-Movie-Workshop.Look for more info on David Hoffmeister and Monthly Online Retreats: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The movie workshop was recorded Saturday, October 1, 2022, in Chapala, Mexico.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

Documentary "How To Change Your Mind" - The Holy Spirit Can Use Anything the Ego Made with David Hoffmeister - A Weekly Movie WorkshopThe Holy Spirit can use anything the ego made. It can use the body to communicate eternal love and forgiveness. Isn't it great that the Holy Spirit can use the trees, the sky, the planets, and even the black holes, the galaxies, and the cosmos of time and space to point back to the singularity of the mind that there's only one of us? Every molecule is there to be used by the Holy Spirit to teach us that there's only one of us, every electron, every atom, and everything that we perceive has only one purpose, and that's for us to forgive the world and remember our oneness as we are a child of God, perfect, innocent child of God. So the Holy Spirit can use anything the ego made. It can even use plant medicine. Enjoy David Hoffmeister's commentary and profound A Course in Miracles content in Episodes 1 & 2 of the Netflix documentary series 'How to change your mind,' The new science of psychedelics, and see how the Holy Spirit can use anything the ego made.You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/imm_kPGRHQ8.If you want to know more about Living Miracles, and the Weekly Movie Workshops, look here: https://bit.ly/ACIM-Movie-Workshop.Look for more info on David Hoffmeister and Monthly Online Retreats: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The movie workshop was recorded Saturday, September 24, 2022, in Chapala, Mexico.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

Star Trek: The Next Generation 'Remember Me' with Commentary by David HoffmeisterThe human condition of separation is a condition that has been accepted as the normal state of mind, an individual's private thoughts, going for brief glimmers of intimacy and connection. The whole situation of time-space is one of separation, division, isolation, and loneliness because of how it's set up. Most people spend their entire life dealing with issues around loneliness and isolation—difficulties with communication. Relationships seem difficult. Groups seem difficult. The government appears difficult. Countries seem like a tricky thing. In Christian terms with the Trinity, the Holy Spirit's perspective will say, here's what healing is; it's coming down to a shared perspective. The Holy Spirit's perspective is the only perspective that can be shared; everything else is the attempt to share something that was set up to not be shared.Enjoy David's commentary on the Star Trek - The Next generation - Remember Me - s04e05YouTube trailer: https://youtu.be/Em4C3nDxNyM If you want to know more about Living Miracles, and the Weekly Movie Workshops, look here: https://bit.ly/ACIM-Movie-Workshop.Look for more info on David Hoffmeister and upcoming events: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The movie gathering was recorded at Living Miracles Monastery on September 22, 2022.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

Movie "Hare Krishna! The Mantra, The Movement And The Swami Who Started It All" by David Hoffmeister - A Weekly Movie Workshop Living from a giving state of mind! If you go into that experience and realize that giving and extending is what all life is about. Then you can gain the trust to say, well, in the past, I've had this gearing mechanism; maybe I wanted to get a partner or a family, perhaps I tried to get a house. Maybe I wanted to get a career; perhaps I wanted to get money and possessions. But, of course, the ego has set up an intricate network of distractions in this world of time and space. At every angle, every direction you look, there are distractions, not just some but many. And so basically, when we go on an authentic spiritual journey, we have to admit to ourselves, okay, we're facing distraction through our five senses, but our intuitive self is calling us deeper inward into the mind to an inspiring journey that has a lot of thoughts and beliefs that are blocking us from experiencing life.Enjoy David Hoffmeister's commentary and profound A Course in Miracles content on the movie "Hare Krishna!" and learn how to live from a giving state of mind!You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YmHsRCtpJ88.If you want to know more about Living Miracles, and the Weekly Movie Workshops, look here: https://bit.ly/ACIM-Movie-Workshop.Look for more info on David Hoffmeister and Monthly Online Retreats: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The movie workshop was recorded Saturday, September 17, 2022, in Chapala, Mexico.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

The movie "Life or Something Like it" Fully Accepting What is Right in Front of Me with David Hoffmeister - A Weekly Online Movie WorkshopFully accepting what is right in front of me is the key to a happy life. If you can fully accept what is right in front of you, you can have a relaxing, joyful life. In the end, Jesus says you have to accept the atonement, and what he means is that the correction for this entire world of time and space is in the present moment. And the present moment is right under your nose; it's so close. It's above your lips. It's front and center. So sink into the present moment and know that you are loved and know that you are free.

David Hoffmeister - Where Is This All Going? - Talk at the Monastery on September 5, 2022The belief in choice is unconscious for most people. In the world, the choice is considered a positive thing. And the more choices, the better. It's associated with lots of things. Freedom, happiness, joy, and peace, but it's not the choice or the choices of this world that bring freedom or happiness and peace.What Jesus means by choice is that the greatest gift God bestowed on his son, referring to the sleeping Christ, is that the mind that changed into believing it could be something other than what God created can now switch back into accepting what God did create. From a personality identity to a spirit identity, to an I Am identity, to an eternal identity. So that's what the whole point is. Jesus is asked the question in the Course How will the world end? He answers the question with a question. Can what has no beginning have an end? So you can see from the perspective of the spirit that it's just about undoing the question, How will the world end? Can what has no beginning have an end? That's the question that comes back from Jesus. Clearly. He's pointing us to undoing the question because who we are is not a question mark. Who we are is a reality. Our identity is a reality, not a question at all.Enjoy David's nighttime talk on the newly established deck facing the Strawberry River Canyon in Utah.If you want to know more about Living Miracles, and the Weekly Movie Workshops, look here: https://bit.ly/ACIM-Movie-Workshop.Look for more info on David Hoffmeister and upcoming events: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The audio was recorded in Living Miracles Monastery in Utah on September 5, 2022.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

Closing Session - Miracles are Involuntary - Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuJesus said in the Bible, "When you pray, go to your closet and shut the door." He didn't just say go to your closet. He said, Go to your closet and shut the door. So he's giving us full permission to say; These distracting thoughts about the past, past regrets, and future expectations; Shut the door! What about this? How's it going to end? Where's it going? And Jesus would say, who cares? Do you believe in the future, or will you be with me right now? Isn't it enough to be with me right now? It is enough. It is enough. When you suddenly realize that Jesus is literally arranging time and space and taking care of everything and always has and always will. Then you know that there's never been a time when we personally did anything important or unimportant. There's never been a time when we messed it up or did it right. He's telling us that you're not the doer or the body. God didn't create the body. So why don't you give up this guilt, thinking you should have a better body, have made better actions, or have done more?Enjoy David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu's Closing session in this monthly Tabula Rasa weekend online retreat with the topic 'Miracles is Involuntary'.
