A Course in Miracles (ACIM) Podcast

Living Church Ministries led by Senior Pastor David Hoffmeister initiated 10 new ministers Sunday, September 27, 2020. Erik Archbold and Emily Alexander and Monica provided live music for the event. It was a very emotional and joyous event with many tears and a lot of laughter. To start with David read this section from A Course in Miracles:You are among the ministers of God.Let us today be neither arrogant nor falsely humble. We have gone beyond such foolishness. We cannot judge ourselves, nor need we do so. These are but attempts to hold decisions off and to delay commitment to our function. It is not our part to judge our worth, nor can we know what role is best for us; what we can do within a larger plan we cannot see in its entirety. Our part is cast in Heaven, not in hell. And what we think is weakness can be strength; what we believeto be our strength is often arrogance.Whatever your appointed role may be, it was selected by the Voice for God, Whose function is to speak for you as well. Seeing your strengths exactly as they are, and equally aware of where they can be best applied, for what, to whom, and when He chooses and accepts your part for you. He does not work without your own consent. But He is not deceived in what you are and listens only to His Voice in you.It is through His ability to hear one Voice which is His Own that you become aware at last there is one Voice in you. And that one Voice appoints your function, and relays it to you, giving you the strength to understand it, do what it entails, and to succeed in everything you do that is related to it. God has joined His Son in this, and thus His Son becomes His messenger of unity with Him.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

Exploration of time inversion in the movie Tenet and teachings from A Course in Miracles. Dissecting the illusion of linear time and embracing the Present Moment for spiritual growth. Understanding divine reality through forgiveness and release of past guilt. Utilizing memory as a tool for healing and transcending linear time. Embracing the present moment to overcome fear and find peace.

Mary Magdalene - Weekly Online Movie Session - Commentary by David Hoffmeister T-4.I.1. A good teacher clarifies his own ideas and strengthens them by teaching them. Teacher and pupil are alike in the learning process. They are in the same order of learning, and unless they share their lessons conviction will be lacking. A good teacher must believe in the ideas he teaches, but he must meet another condition; he must believe in the students to whom he offers the ideas.T-4.I.13. I will substitute for your ego if you wish, but never for your spirit. A father can safely leave a child with an elder brother who has shown himself responsible, but this involves no confusion about the child's origin. The brother can protect the child's body and his ego, but he does not confuse himself with the father because he does this. I can be entrusted with your body and your ego only because this enables you not to be concerned with them and lets me teach you their unimportance. I could not understand their importance to you if I had not once been tempted to believe in them myself. Let us undertake to learn this lesson together so we can be free of them together. I need devoted teachers who share my aim of healing the mind. 8 Spirit is far beyond the need of your protection or mine. Remember this: In this world, you need not have tribulation because I have overcome the world. That is why you should be of good cheer.The Movie gathering was recorded Wednesday, September 16, 2020, at Casa Quantico, Ajijic, Mexico.

Forever My Girl - Weekly Online Movie Session - Commentary by David Hoffmeister There are many intricate ways to hide out from God's love and avoid accepting the correction for the pain, shame, and guilt in the mind. Liam, the main character, is a famous country music singer with a deep underlying hurt. All his fame and fortune are part of the distraction away from facing the pain he has carried since the passing of his mother as a young boy. Fortunately, at any point in our lives, the Holy Spirit can intercept and remind us of our true calling; what our purpose is for being here that’s part of the greater plan. The true calling of our heart is to wake up from this dream and remember the Kingdom of Heaven. The only purpose of this world is to know thyself.The Movie gathering was recorded Wednesday, September 9, 2020, at Casa Quantico, Ajijic, Mexico.

The Lego Movie - Weekly Online Movie Session - Commentary by David Hoffmeister The main character in the Lego Movie, Emmet has to recognize who he really is, that he is "the One." Right up to his spiritual awakening, he is connected to the matrix, blinded by the fact that he has no significant or holy relationships. Although he has seen glimpses that something is not right with the world, he quickly expels these thoughts from consciousness and adapts to Legoland, the only world Emmet knows. Legoland has instructions for everything, including how to behave, think, and live, to fit in and be a successful character.Accepting your true identity is not just about becoming a master builder or a superhero. It's about accepting that you are a valuable part of the whole and accepting the perfection of your true identity. In this acceptance, Spirit moves in perfect ways: with perfect presence, words, solutions, and actions are provided at every moment. In this awareness, the Self, the Mind, is not subject to the laws of the world. Superheroes are "unplugged," and that is why they have taken advantage of what is called superpowers. And even higher, beyond being an "unplugged" superhero, is the ability to collaborate for an even higher purpose.The Movie gathering was recorded Wednesday, September 2, 2020, at Casa Quantico, Ajijic, Mexico.

THE FOUNTAIN - Weekly online movie gathering with commentary by David Hoffmeister "Fear to look within" and "Lack of Attentiveness" was the main topics most people were ready to let go of in this week's poll and David doesn't miss a chance to go inward in this awesome deep and beautiful movie "The Fountain"Tommy or Thomas as the main character in the Fountain is called represent the ego's thought system and Izzy, his dying wife, represents the Holy Spirits' thought system and they are in a holy relationship which has, is and will be going on for a thousand years. While the belief that love can be found in form persists, the desperate search produces frustration and disappointment with each seeming failed attempt. Once the fear of eternal love passes, the only choice that remains with regard to the book of time is to “finish it.” Ascension is the awakening from the dream of form to the bliss and light of eternal life.The movie gathering was recorded on Wednesday Evening, August 26, 2020, at Casa Quantico, Ajijic, Mexico.Join the Living Miracles community for weekly online movie gatherings with commentary!
