What is True Renunciation? - Movie Workshop at Celebration of Illumination 2025 with David HoffmeisterThe movie David shows at the "Celebration of Illumination" event is an excellent introduction to the more profound teachings of A Course in Miracles and its practical application to the world. Mysticism, which is pure devotion to God, is often confused with renunciation, especially in Eastern traditions. However, Jesus clarifies that true renunciation is about withdrawing belief in the ego, not performing ritualistic acts. As everyone becomes aware of their attachments and addictions, including the habit of judgment, Jesus aims to help us free our minds by realizing we were never meant to be judges. He teaches that renouncing the ego, created by our belief in it, is a mind event requiring disciplined mind training to live as the Christ rather than the ego.In part 1, David provides his commentary on the movie. In part 2, he answers questions from participants.To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, March 1, 2025, Chapala, Mexico.

Finding the Divine Truth: When 'No' Becomes a 'Yes' to God - A Community Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterThe central question at the movie gathering was, "Can you show me a movie that truly helps me understand that sometimes, my 'no' can be a 'yes' to God?" What does the Bible say, and what have we learned in the Course? The Course teaches us, "Let your yes be yes and your no be no." "Let the Holy Spirit guide your words." "Don't associate 'yes' with God and 'no' with ego because you must always let the Spirit give you your yeses and nos." However, if people-pleasing is involved or if there's guilt beneath the 'no' or the 'yes,' it's wrong-minded. We can be sure of this because guilt and innocence don't meet. Even though one is not the opposite of the other, in this world, we believe that guilty people are imprisoned and innocent people are released.To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, February 12, 2025, at Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

"Beyond Specialness: Unveiling the Illusion of Separation and Ego" Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterThis movie session focuses on exposing and releasing specialness, which is not just between people or in the environment but also the ego's belief in separation from God and the belief that there is more than everything. This belief attracts the mind into a projection of the cosmos, resulting in the belief that we are in the world. The ego projects out a world of specifics, fragments the whole, and believes that there is something other than God.To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, February 5, 2025, at Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

The Constructed Self: Exploring the Concept of Invention in Human Identity - Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterWe all know that smartphones, iPads, and computers are inventions, but generally, we don't tend to think of ourselves as inventions. If you meet somebody and they say, "Where are you from?" They're not asking, "Where were you manufactured?" Or they're not saying, "Where were you invented?" They're just, "Where were you born?" So we would not quite use that invention word for our human personalities. But if we go a lot deeper, there is a workbook lesson in the Course where Jesus says, "I have invented the world I see." So he's using the invented word. All inventions are constructed. They're like products, but the mind has fallen asleep and forgotten that it believes in separation from God and forgot that it's dreaming. So it doesn't tend to think of itself as a construct. Jesus says, "You think of the body as an end instead of a means."To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, January 29, 2025, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.
