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.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 "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.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

Episode 'The Chosen S01E03' - Movie 'Awake - The Life of Yogananda' - Living in the giving, give as God give with David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop.Living in the giving. Give as God gives. That's no small thing when you think that God is just pure love and light. It radiates, it extends, it gives. God is pure giving. Getting has no meaning to Him. To God, achieving has no meaning, possessing has no meaning, and accumulating has no meaning. So isn't it wonderful that we have a creator that is just a pure giver? Jesus tells us in the Course of Miracles God's will for you is perfect happiness. So it must be that this state of pure giving is the happiest state of mind. It is an eternal state of mind. And that's why we're working on forgiveness so we can wake up to Eternity because eternity is what heaven is. It's just pure happiness. To experience happiness concerning perception takes a lot of cleaning your mind, forgiving, clearing away, and releasing attack thoughts, grievances, and opinions. You have let it all go in terms of the contents of consciousness to come into this happiness and joy, but the episode and the movie today will show what living in the giving, give as God gives, means.Enjoy profound A Course in Miracles content and commentary on The Chosen S1:E3 and Awake: The Life of Yogananda by David Hoffmeister and learn how to give as God gives!

The Movie "Holy Man" How to Enter a Life of Pure Inspiration! with David Hoffmeister - A Weekly Online Movie WorkshopToday's movie shows a very tense relationship between Ricky and Kate. Even though they're working together for the same company and trying to improve the ratings to make more money, everybody wants love and connection, and everybody wants to feel alive. That's all we want - love, connection, and to feel alive. We're not asking for too much. We're asking for what God gave us in our creation. We're just asking to be natural. So Holy Man will contrast the commercial world, which is the world of the ego, with a simple Pilgrim, who is very devoted to God and happiness. The Pilgrim is not concerned about whether it's politically correct or not. Pilgrim is into truth, not opinion. Pilgrim is into truth, not theology. Pilgrims don't care about theology. They're into living in the present moment in truth. That's what spirituality is. It's about love. And love and fear don't go together. So when you go for Divine Love, you're going for the whole enchilada. You're not messing around. You're going for everything.Find out how to enter a life of pure inspiration with David Hoffmeister while deepening into the idea "I need do nothing" as he uses powerful ACIM teachings and the movie "Holy Man" to help you do that!You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/AQvgRSjRrJo.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, May 21, 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 "Everything Everywhere All At Once" - The Simultaneity of Time with David Hoffmeister - Renovatio Residential Movie RetreatSo, simultaneous time as opposed to linear time, what does it mean? It seems to be an oxymoron and a contradiction in terms. Simultaneous time is entirely different from linear time. This movie will help us move toward the experience of simultaneous time or the present moment. You have made up names for everything you see. Each one becomes a separate entity identified by its name. By this, you carve it out of the unity. You designate its unique attributes and set it off from other things by emphasizing the space surrounding it. You see something where nothing is and see nothing where there is unity, a space between all things and you. When you feel afraid, it's the ego's fear of wholeness. You've become accustomed to pieces and parts, naming little things and adapting; you feel like the pieces and the elements, and the separation is natural. But the threat to this fragmented perception is wholeness. It is oneness. Oneness is the big threat.Enjoy David's commentary and at the beginning of this session, David played two songs to get in the mood for the movie.
