A Course in Miracles (ACIM) Podcast

Closing Session with David Hoffmeister & Frances Xu - "The Great Awakening" - Online Weekend Retreat The world is a big mirror of our state of mind. Seemingly the mind is full of past memory implants and human beings think they have a life of their own and a time between birth and death where they can choose whatever they want, like a great adventure. Except that the ego has rigged the whole thing. The memory implants never happened. It's a world of imagination and for most people, it's actually not a happy dream when they come here. This world is not set up by God. Whatever you want from the world, the world wants from you. But if we give our judgment to the Holy Spirit the perception of the world will change. When we stop judging the world, the world seems to stop judging us. The needs you think you have in the world will be reflected by other people having needs from you, because those thoughts are still thoughts in your mind. Listen to David and Frances closing this remarkable online retreat with answers to our deepest questions.This session was recorded on the morning of January 3, 2021, at the Living Miracles Quantico Studio, Chapala, Mexico.

"Life As a House" - Movie Commentary by David Hoffmeister and Kenneth CliffordThe movie that was chosen for the movie session at The Great Awakening online retreat "Life As A House" deals with relationships and the need for a healed perception of relationships. David and Ken touch on and go into great detail about how there is really no such thing as a dysfunctional family. There is only a dysfunctional perception of the world because it's perceived through the ego’s lens. A typical American family has suppressed rage and past grievances that cover over compassion and love. It takes what the world calls a serious situation to see that there is much more to life than struggle and depression. This retreat session was recorded in the afternoon of January 2, 2021, at the Living Miracles Quantico studio in Chapala, Mexico.For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles online events, look here:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events

Celebration of the Great Awakening - Weekend Online Retreat - Session with David HoffmeisterIn order for us to raise our awareness to be one with God, we need a lot of help, and Jesus is a symbol of that help. He completed his part completely and accepted the Atonement for himself. He is the first miracle, the last miracle, and all the miracles in between. Therefore, it's good for us to call on him and trust that he got us covered in the end despite what we think of ourselves right now. This session was recorded on the morning of January 2, 2021, in Living Miracles Quantico Studio, Chapala, Mexico.

Movie "HER" with David Hoffmeister - From the Celebration of Illumination online retreat, The Joy of Time's EndMovies are modern-day parables and the movie David has picked for this occasion "her" shows us that the fear of divine love is the fear of disappearing; it is the ego’s fear of obliteration. Spirit uses the vibrational connection to inspire us to drop our masks and get closer to one another to experience our Christ self. The sharing of feelings and thoughts without filters leads to feelings of deeper joining and connectedness. The real purpose of every relationship is to become aware of what is arising in consciousness in order to heal it; this is how we start to experience our innocence. Sometimes when a relationship ends, the ego analyzes what we did using hindsight; It wants to say, “you should have done it differently.” All “should haves” are hypotheticals reflecting the belief in many possibilities. When guilt or darkness arises, the ego wants to judge them as a failure. But we are not responsible for the error, we are only responsible for accepting the correction—that we are innocent Now.This session was recorded at Living Miracles Quantico studio in San Antonio, Chapala, Mexico on the morning of December 30, 2020

"Always" - Weekly online movie session - Commentary by David Hoffmeister The love we attempt to withhold is the only pain we carry. As we learn to help without wanting something in return, we remember the meaning of true love. Love does not possess. In helping and letting go of the desire to possess, we are led to an experience of unconditional love, which is our natural state.

"SOLARIS" - Weekly online movie session - Commentary by David Hoffmeister If you were on a desert island and could request one movie, this would be the one to ask for! Solaris is a beautiful illustration of True Forgiveness; it is literally a life raft out of this world. Several lines of the Dylan Thomas poem “Death Shall Have No Dominion” are heard in the movie and capsulize it beautifully: Though they go mad they shall be sane,Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; Though lovers be lost love shall not;And death shall have no dominion.Enjoy David's deep and engaging commentary for this his favorite movie. Here is a reference list to David's commentary:A Course in Miracles – Workbook Lesson 50I am sustained by the Love of God. W-pI.50.1. Here is the answer to every problem that will confront you, today and tomorrow and throughout time. 2 In this world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God.A Course in Miracles – Workbook Lesson 2I have given everything I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] all the meaning that it has for me.A Course in Miracles – Workbook Lesson 7I see only the past. W-pI.7.1. This idea is particularly difficult to believe at first. 2 Yet it is the rationale for all of the preceding ones. 3 It is the reason why nothing that you see means anything.Healed Relationships - T-17.V.7. Now the ego counsels thus; substitute for this another relationship to which your former goal was quite appropriate. 2 You can escape from your distress only by getting rid of your brother. 3 You need not part entirely if you choose not to do so. 4 But you must exclude major areas of fantasy from your brother, to save your sanity. 5 Hear not this now! 6 Have faith in Him Who answered you. 7 He heard. 8 Has He not been very explicit in His answer? 9 You are not now wholly insane. 10 Can you deny that He has given you a most explicit statement? 11 Now He asks for faith a little longer, even in bewilderment. 12 For this will go, and you will see the justification for your faith emerge, to bring you shining conviction. 13 Abandon Him not now, nor your brother. 14 This relationship has been reborn as holyA Course in Miracles – Workbook Lesson 23I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts. W-pI.23.1. The idea for today contains the only way out of fear that will ever succeed. 2 Nothing else will work; everything else is meaningless. 3 But this way cannot failA Course in Miracles – Workbook Lesson 152The power of decision is my own. W-pI.152.1. No one can suffer loss unless it be his own decision. 2 No one suffers pain except his choice elects this state for him. 3A Course in Miracles – Chapter 26 – VIII. The Immediacy of Salvation...space that lies between you, unforgiven still. T-26.VIII.9. Be not content with future happiness. 2 It has no meaning, and is not your just reward. 3 For you have cause for freedom now. 4 What profits freedom in a prisoner's form? 5 Why should deliverance be disguised as death?A Course in Miracles – Workbook Lesson 132W-pI.132.5. There is no world apart from what you wish, and herein lies your ultimate release. 2 Change but your mind on what you want to see, and all the world must change accordingly. 3 Ideas leave not their source. 4 This central theme is often stated in the text, and must be borne in mind if you would understand the lesson for today. 5 It is not pride which tells you that you made the world you see, and that it changes as you change your mind.A Course in Miracles – Workbook Lesson 128The world I see holds nothing that I want. W-pI.128.1. The world you see holds nothing that you need to offer you; nothing that you can use in any way, nor anything at all that serves to give you joy.A Course in Miracles – Chapter 26 – VII. The Laws of Healing...But it can make what always has been true be recognized by those who know it not; and by this little gift of truth but let to be itself, the Son of God allowed to be himself, and all creation freed to call upon the Name of God as One....The Movie session was shot on Wednesday, December 9, 2020, at Casa Quantico, Ajijic, Mexico.Join the Living Miracles community for weekly online movie gatherings with commentary!
