A Course in Miracles (ACIM) Podcast

Welcome to the "Open-Mindedness" Retreat and the Closing Session with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu.From the ego, we learn that judgment and outcomes in the world are important. Jesus tells us that what we have been handed over from kindergarten and up is a curriculum of judgment and that we need is to un-learn that kind of judgment. He said in the bible, Judge not! But it was not really emphasized in our culture, not even in the church, instead, outcomes in the sense of good grades or something in the form was emphasized, but for Jesus real outcomes are states of mind. Jesus says that without judgment all outcomes are equally acceptable. Talking about open-mindedness! Add to that another open-minded statement from Jesus "Comparison is an ego device because Love makes non" For Jesus real Judgment is of the Holy Spirit and it's associated with wisdom. It's not of us, but coming through us.This "Awakening from the Dream" online retreat session with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu was recorded on the morning of June 7, 2020, at the Living Miracles Mexico studio in Ajijic, Mexico.To learn more about upcoming live "Awakening from the Dream" online retreats with David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles community, go to https://livingmiracles.org/events

Welcome to the "Open-Mindedness" Retreat and David Hoffmeister's Saturday Morning SessionIn this session David talks about, 'Giving the gift of Christ vision'. "As you give so shall you receive. As you teach so shall you learn. That's the point of everything. Is there any point in this Earth experience. Yes, the point is giving the gift of Christ's vision and in order to give the gift of Christ's vision, you need to learn, teach and learn to perceive your brother as light. It's about training the mind to see light. It's not that you should not see bodies, but do I want to see my brother sinless? If the vision of Christ is what you want to see that is what you want to focus on".This "Awakening from the Dream" online retreat session with David Hoffmeister was recorded on the morning of June 6, 2020, at the Living Miracles Mexico studio in Ajijic, Mexico.To learn more about upcoming live "Awakening from the Dream" online retreats with David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles community, go to https://livingmiracles.org/events

Welcome to Living Miracles Weekly Online Movie Gathering with commentary by David HoffmeisterThe top themes of the week's poll were resistance to following guidance, fear of rejection and as the third contender, body thoughts. The movie that would bring all this together with a strong sense of actuality to currents events in the United States was an old sixties movie called "Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? Directed by Stanley KramerThe movie shows the inherent racism that still lurks in the mind of seeming progressive people and as such a comment to the uproar that is taking place in the USA at the moment from the Black Lives Matter movement. David put everything in perspective by stating that the only non-racist entity is the Christ, because Christ is pure love. Racism is just an offspring of its maker which is the ego and the ego is the source of rage, of wars, of prejudices and comparison, of superiority. The ego is a make-believe concept or idea, that has no reality and yet until we wake up we will believe in the ego. The ego made humans and if we believe we are human beings we are by definition a human racist, that is the construct of the ego and there is no reformation or solution to that in the world of time and space. Jesus says you can't heal what isn't real. You have to begin to overlook what the ego invented and forgive what the ego made entirely. You will not be able to solve it.Watching movies is a way of stepping back and remembering that what we see on the screen is not real. Life itself is a big projection. There is a method to watch movies in an enlightened way that leads to observing the events and scenes and scripts of the world—with forgiving eyes. These spiritual movies can be used as a way of expanding consciousness and ultimately experiencing the depth and meaning of the Inner Self.

An Online Weekend Retreat with 'Take Me Home' Closing Session.David Hoffmeister & Frances Xu ends the 'Take Me Home' Retreat in a tour de force of a session. The inspiration and care coming through both of them towards the participants are breathtaking to listen to. What you perceive comes from what you believe and until you are willing to question what you believe you are not going to escape fragmented perception. No chance at all. Remember! God is the source and Christ is the effect and the ego is the belief that the source and the effect can be separate. That Christ has left the mind of God and created a world where everything is upside down.The 'Take Me Home' Online Retreat is about healing the mind by removing the obstacles to the awareness of Love’s Presence. 'Take Me Home' will showcase how to allow the Spirit to guide our awakening journey and our relationships.

An Online Weekend Retreat with Take Me HomeDavid Hoffmeister & Frances Xu opens the online weekend Take Me Home retreat by giving us a super big context for what the experience with the movie Take Me Home will bring. The ego will try to put the truth into the illusion because it's afraid of love and it wants to retain its personhood and it is quite satisfied by being a spiritual person or even the goal of being an enlightened person will fit its self-concept. But a person can't be enlightened and to awaken to who we really are everything has to be let go of and that is what "Take Me Home" is about.

The Movie for this weeks online movie gathering is "I Can Only Imagine" and David Hoffmeister is making the commentary before and joining with participants after the movie. The theme/feelings people felt the most this week was unworthiness and rejection and this movie has it all. Growing up with an abusive father and an absent mother, the main character has locked his real feeling away in the unconscious, but the Spirit has a plan for bringing healing to the mind for everybody involved in his life. The movie has a deep message about forgiveness and it touched a lot of the participant's hearts.Watching movies is a way of stepping back and remembering that what we see on the screen is not real.

David Hoffmeister is again in the commentary seat for this week's online movie gathering.This weeks movie is: Oblivion with Tom CruiseThe theme of this movie is trust and communication. David takes us right to the core of the matter stating that we are all on our way out of oblivion. The big conspiracy or mandatory memory wipe is the thought that time and space are real and that our memories of the real world have been lost. But just as in the movie Oblivion memories of union begin to flash into our awareness and we feel the love that is hidden in that state of mind and we begin to go towards it.
