Movie 'Doom of Love' True prayer and The Present Moment with David Hoffmeister - A Weekly Online Movie WorkshopForget what you think you need and dare to live in the present moment, no matter what the world tells you. Regardless of the past's opinions and conditioning, dare to live in the present moment. We need help with that. We need somebody to show us the way because it seems like we've put quite a lot of effort into making goals for the future. And we've been like a hamster on a hamster wheel in a cage running the wheel of time. Our ego is pushing the Wheel of Karma, telling us that we're guilty in the past and will have to overcome the guilt in the future.So the sneaky wheel and the hamster keep spinning until finally, the hamster remembers the secret of true prayer: Forget the wheel, forget the past, and forget the future. As a true Godfather would say, "Forget about it."Enjoy the profound A Course in Miracles content and commentary on the new Turkish movie 'Doom of Love' by David Hoffmeister, ACIM teacher, and find out how live in the present moment.You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/QoWG4h7INz0.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 workshop was recorded Saturday, July 9, 2022, in Chapala, Mexico.

Closing Session - "My Spirit-given Function" Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuWhen you surrender, you're saying, whatever Your will is, God, I'm letting go of my expectation for an outcome. And the Course in Miracles adds; Let all things be exactly as they are, and all things work together for good. And if we need it just one more time, Jesus says; Without judgment, all things are equally acceptable. Wow! Without judgment, all things are equally good? What a state of mind. Nothing is out of place. Nothing's going wrong. Nothing's going right. Thank God. It's a world of illusion, so I don't need to judge it positively or negatively.Enjoy David and Frances's talk about surrender and engaging the participants in their Spirit-given Function.If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on July 3, 2022, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

Movie 'Breakthrough' - "My Spirit-given Function" Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister We must realize that it's not people that get sick, and it's not people that die. Those things bodies go through, including birth and death, are inventions of the ego. They're just concepts that the ego made up in mind. God didn't create them. From the perspective of only one mind, the miracle rearranges perception, and the heart's prayer is answered in the form of peace, happiness, and joy. What seems to be healing like a boy's body returning from death is only a witness. Jesus tells us that whatever you perceive in form is just a witness to your belief. So no actual healing occurs in form because form is images. You have to heal the mind that believes that the images are real. You see, that's what the healing is. That's why Jesus says nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.Enjoy this profound A Course in Miracles Movie Workshop content and commentary on the movie 'Breakthrough' by David Hoffmeister, and find out that Life is Spirit, and Identity is in God!

Opening Session - "My Spirit Given Function" Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuIn the work with A Course in Miracles you start to realize it's more about undoing than doing. It's more about emptying the mind of everything you think you think and think you know and everything you believe is true. It's like all the Mystics and Saints of all the centuries have told us. Empty your mind and you will know the truth. It's very simple. And with this topic of My Spirit-given function, we can say that, in order to know the function that God gave you, and God gave you eternity, then you will have to unlearn a lot. Function in this world is associated with form and also associated with the body. And I can tell you that has to be forgotten. We have to unlearn all of that, in order to live the truth, because this world was made as a veil to keep us from knowing the truth. Find your Spirit-given function with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu and listen to the sweet interaction between David and the retreat participants.You can watch the beginning of the session here on YouTube.https://youtu.be/dSVrzNQUc80If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on July 1, 2022, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

The Movie "Tangled" - Let go of seeking validation outside your Self! with David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopIf we look for validation of our worth in the images and the shadowland around us, we will be emotionally in trouble. The love of God sustains me, but the world I see is a form of vengeance. As long as you're looking for external validation in images, the world you see will be a form of vengeance. It's not really a vengeful world, even though it was made in hate by the ego. But we don't have to see it that way. You can embrace it and be happy if you don't judge it. No matter what's happening. Don't judge it! If you judge the images and the shadowland around us, good or bad, then it will seem vengeful to you in your awareness. Vengeance and hatred will simmer underneath if you keep seeking value in externals.Enjoy the profound A Course in Miracles content and commentary on the movie Tangled by David Hoffmeister, ACIM teacher, and find out how to let go of seeking validation outside yourself!

The Movie "Lucy" - Live in full integrity and be uncompromising in your desire for truth! with David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopLiving in full integrity. We always say if that person has integrity, that they have consistency. They say what they mean, and they mean what they say. They follow through on what they promise. So that's what we think of when we think of integrity. Jesus has a higher definition of integrity; he says that integrity is of the mind, and when you align with oneness and truth, everything you think, say, do, feel and believe will be in alignment.That's what Jesus calls a miracle. When everything you desire, believe, think, feel and perceive is in total alignment, you realize that time is simultaneous. And you have been entirely mistaken about linear time because you will never find integrity in the perception of linear time. You might as well give up right now and say, if I'm going to have integrity, I have to let go of everything. Everything that I've perceived has been mistaken. Not slightly mistaken. Not proportionally mostly mistaken, but 100% mistaken. Because alignment means that only God is the cause and Christ is the effect, that renders cause and effect in time meaningless.Enjoy the profound A Course in Miracles content and commentary on the movie "Lucy" by David Hoffmeister and find out how to live in full integrity and be uncompromising in your desire for truth!

The Movie "Hollywood Stargirl" with commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopActively choose the Spirit's thoughts, no matter what the seeming circumstances. Why is that so important? Jesus tells us that this whole world of time, space, and the cosmic universe is a self-concept. It's an identity. It's a self-concept that God didn't create. So, we're here to wake up from the amnesia of forgetting our eternal being as the Christ, and we're here to wake up from this idea that we're time-space creatures, that we're bodies. Even the idea that you're in a body is just a concept, and as long as you just cling to the pictures and you don't go into an actual experience of pure beingness, the ego is quite happy. It doesn't want you to experience the oneness, the joy, the connectedness; you see, actively choosing the Spirit's thoughts means being in the Miracle because the Miracle is a thought that comes from the Holy Spirit. It comes through your mind and consciousness, radiates out, and shows you that there's nothing to get hung about as the Beatles sang in Strawberry Fields Forever. That's all the Miracle does. The Miracle shows you there's nothing to get hung about. And it also brings you joy once you realize you have no reason to be upset. You permit yourself to feel joyful. That's important. Eternity is joyful. So we want to feel joyful as we awaken to eternity.

Closing Session - "This Holy Instant" Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuDavid: I had just completed ten years of university, and then Jesus instructed me to delete my resume, and you know, I tried to throw all the papers away, but he said, No, go to your word processor and delete the memory of the resume, not just the paper. I want that resume out of your mind now because I will teach you how to live in the given. I will teach you that I'll provide everything you need if you shine your light. If you'll just let me speak, laugh and smile through you and be happy. You don't have to learn and figure out what to do; that's the human problem. We have conflicting ideas from the past. Nobody agrees on anything. And then, we are supposed to make our life decisions based on our past learning. It doesn't work. You know, it's a trick. But if we make our way and let present trust lead the way, then what an adventure. Then you're on an adventure.Experience this A Course in Miracles online retreat and let this closing session lead you to the holy instant with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu!If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on June 5, 2022, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

The Movie "Fatima" - This Holy Instant Online Retreat with David HoffmeisterThe title of this workshop or retreat is "This Holy Instant," which is the most profound teaching in A Course in Miracles. Forgiveness takes you towards the Holy Instant, the present moment, the powerful now moment that releases the mind from time and space. That frees the mind from believing in the cosmos. The holy instant releases the mind from believing in bodies, from believing in separation, believing in differences, believing in hierarchies, from believing in better and worse. Most human beings have a deep belief in the ego and that there are better and worse. But not the spirit; the spirit doesn't see better or worse. So the Holy Instant is the key to everything. If you just right now, for the rest of your life, devoted your single-minded attention to just this one thing, experiencing the Holy Instant, and put all your effort and willingness into this one direction. I tell you, if there were smiles in heaven, there'd be a lot of smiles in heaven. All the angels would be standing in ovation. Jesus would be standing in ovation, Buddha, Ramana Maharshi, Paramahansa Yogananda, and every saint in history would be standing up and going, Oh, bravo, I'm with you. So I join you in the Holy Instant because that is the most excellent teaching.Enjoy this profound A Course in Miracles content and commentary on the movie Fatima by David Hoffmeister, and learn how to pray without ceasing!

Opening Session - 'This Holy Instant' Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuThere's no learning in heaven. God created you perfect. The spirit doesn't learn. So when we think about the Holy Instant, the Holy Instant is not learned. So we're entering into a whole different realm than human beings have ever known because all humans have ever known is the past repeating itself day after day. The ego has programmed us, and you may believe you have free will in this world, but that's all a projection from the unconscious mind. So if you sometimes feel like a robot, like you're just doing the same things repeatedly, it's because the ego invented time and space.You see, we are brought up with a curriculum in judgment. If you go to school, you're learning a curriculum in judgment; even before you go to school, your parents and your siblings teach you a curriculum in judgment. Don't do this. Treat people this way. You know, it's full of judgments, and then we reach a point where we would rather pray, listen and follow the Spirit than judge, react and respond to the ego. Do you see the difference between those two modalities in the mind? That's what we're going for today.Experience this A Course in Miracles online retreat and enter this holy instant with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu!You can watch the beginning of the session here on YouTube.https://youtu.be/4yZ34KHyjiYIf you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on June 3, 2022, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.
