Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat, Day 5 Closing Session: Gratitude, Inspirations, and "Family Responsibilities"
For the final session of the Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat, David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu share about possible ways to stay connected and invite the participants to share their inspirations. Some possibilities are discussed for staying connected, such as having private screenings of Frances' new documentary "Take Me Home" at people’s homes by invitation! A lot of gratitude is also expressed, with many people sharing about how miraculous this retreat has been for them. About two thirds of the way through the session, the topic of “family responsibilities” is raised and how this seems to make the spiritual journey much more difficult in terms of being able to freely follow one's heart. David addresses this question by sharing parables to help undo this belief and open the mind to the solution of present moment guidance.This session begins with two original songs performed live by Svava Love. Recorded the morning of August 6, 2019 at the Living Miracles Monastery in Utah.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

Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat, Day 4: "Yes Man” Movie Session
On the evening of Day 4 of the Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat, David Hoffmeister lightens things up with a wonderful comedy about spiritual awakening! In the movie “Yes Man”, Jim Carrey’s character is very closed off to life and says no to every invitation or opportunity that comes his way. After some “Holy Spirit interventions” though, he makes a commitment to saying yes to everything that comes his way and it ends up transforming his life in miraculous ways! In this recorded movie session, David gives profound commentary before, during, and after the movie to illustrate many points about how our awakening journey can seem to look at times! Note: The movie itself was edited out of this audio, leaving only David’s commentary. We recommend you listen to this recording up to 27 minutes and 43 seconds (when his pre-movie talk ends), then watch the movie yourself. Afterwards, you can listen to the rest of this audio to hear the commentary he gave during and after the movie.

Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat, Day 3: The World is a Hypothetical
In “A Course in Miracles,” Jesus is basically teaching us that this entire world is a hypothetical world made up by the ego. Just like in the movie “The Matrix,” it is a world that tricks us into believing we exist within time and space as separate bodies so that we would forget our true, eternal nature as Spirit. It is an "as if cosmos," an invented, hypothetical possibility "as if" we could have actually separated from God, which in truth is impossible. The past is impossible, the future is impossible, and only in the present can we discover what's real, which is the happiness, love, and truth within that we have never left nor which has ever left us. In this morning talk given by renowned spiritual teacher David Hoffmeister at the Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat, many practical ideas are shared about how to awaken to the present and release the mind from fear. The topics of collaboration, service, and living in spiritual community are all discussed in depth, and there is much sharing and questions from the participants.Recorded August 4, 2019, at the Living Miracles Monastery in Utah.To learn more about upcoming Living Miracles events with David, click on the link below: http://livingmiracles.org/eventsFollow 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

Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat, Day 2: "The Great Hack” Movie Session
After a beautiful afternoon of rest and stillness at the Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat, David Hoffmeister shows a good “mind-watcher” movie to stir things up! “The Great Hack” is a Netflix documentary about the way that our online activity (on Facebook, for example) is seemingly used for political manipulation of the general public. David shows this movie to flush up the belief in victimization and the question of “Can I be manipulated?” and dissolves them both through divine metaphysics from “A Course in Miracles.” Even though it can seem like technology and modern psychology can be used against us, we have to remember the words of Jesus, the master psychologist, who reminds us that, “I am responsible for what I see…And everything that seems to happen to me I ask for, and receive as I have asked.” The problems we see in the world are merely projections of the one problem we harbor within, and we have to go farther back in our own mind to see it and dispel it!This audio was edited to contain only David’s commentary before, during, and after the movie. We recommend you first listen to David’s pre-movie talk (which ends just after 20 minutes into this audio), watch the movie on Netflix, then listen to the rest of this audio.

Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat, Day 2: How to Have a Happy Day
For the second session of the Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat, David Hoffmeister shares the teaching from A Course in Miracles that God’s Will for us is perfect happiness. He speaks about the true meaning of “free will,” which is often associated with choice but isn’t really about choice at all. David then goes into simplifying the “Rules for Decision” from Chapter 30 of the Course, offering the means for how to have a happy day, everyday!The second half of this session includes several questions from participants on a variety of topics such as suicide, the importance of silence, and whether personal competency has any value after all.The session was recorded on the morning of August 3, 2019, at the Living Miracles Monastery in Utah, USA.To learn more about upcoming Living Miracles events with David, click on the link below: https://livingmiracles.org/eventsFollow 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

Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat: Opening Session
In this opening session of the Awakening 2 Love Enlightenment Retreat held at the Living Miracles Monastery in Utah, David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu share some incredible insights and parables about the awakening journey. They speak about the addiction to time and how thinking about the past and future are actually defenses against a present change in focus. It is actually possible to not think about time at all and live fully in the present, happy and free.
In this session, Frances also speaks about the making of her documentary movie “Take Me Home” which will be shown at this retreat. The documentary illuminates the two principles we practice here at the monastery, “no people-pleasing” and “no private thoughts.” These principles are all about being transparent, which we've discovered to be helpful practices towards awakening from the egoic thought system of fear and guilt. At the end of this opening session, several participants share their gratitude for being here (some came from quite a long distance) and for David and the way he has demonstrated the truth for so many years.
