David Hoffmeister & A Course In Miracles

Movie "Family Man" Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop When we approach forgiveness, often, we think we need to forgive ourselves as persons or forgive other people. But what Jesus is asking us to do here on Christmas Day is, he wants us to recognize that we have a perceptual problem. Like in the 12 step program, I have to admit that I have a human perception addiction and that it is blocking the light for who I really am because God created me as pure spirit. I've misperceived my identity as being tiny when I'm vast. I'm so vast that I can't even be contained in time and space. I'm so vast I'm an eternal creation of God. And that's what we're going to pray to the Holy Spirit and Jesus today to show us that we are divine spirit. God's will for us is perfect happiness.

Movie "12 Dates of Christmas" Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopThe number one theme in the movie poll was trying to get it right versus relaxing into our true purpose this week. That's our problem. We've been trying to get it right in time and space and thinking we know what right is in time and space. That's a problem. How can you accept the correction for a problem if you think you already know what the problem is? And if you're sure it's a financial problem or an interpersonal relationship problem or that we have a pollution problem, a pandemic problem, or an overpopulation problem, fill in the blank. Any stressful situation is trying to define the problem in terms of form. But Jesus and the Holy Spirit are telling us. It's not in form the problem is. The form is a reflection of what you believe. You think you're something other than the Holy Christ. That's the problem. Assuming you have an identity apart from God's perfect love and light. That's the problem, and this movie will help us see that.Enjoy David's commentary.You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube:https://youtu.be/jV2bFw-ZdyU.If you want to know more about Living Miracle and David Hoffmeister and upcoming events, look here: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The movie workshop was recorded Saturday, December 18, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Movie "Frozen 2" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopOur movie today will be one you will want to watch at the end of your life. Put it on so you can pass away with a big smile on your face and go, saying, Oh god, thank you. Thank you for reminding me. Thank you for calling me home. Thank you for answering my call for help. Thank you for showing me the way to love and light and how to remember eternity in the face of this very mesmerizing dream of time and space that seems so real. But with this, you keep reminding me I'm safe at home in heaven and just dreaming of exile. I can't exile from God. It's not possible. I can believe it, but I can't make it so. But I can't turn the dream into reality. This is just a dream of separation from God.

Closing Session - Tabula Rasa December Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuWe cannot only want the ego because of who we are; it's impossible! So in eternity, we are determined that we want God, and that is never going to change. But the problem is that because we're confused, we want the opposite as well. That's where the mind is split. That's where the experience is divided, and that's why there are miracles and even joy, but also so many other emotions that come from the desire for the opposite. So really, the whole journey is a purification towards a mind where the spirit is our only desire. Spirit is truly who we are. That is where once we identify ourselves with only that, that's where Christ is born again.

The movie "No Sleep 'Til Christmas" - ACIM Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister - Tabula Rasa December Online RetreatNobody likes to be told of their flaws. Nobody likes to be told what's wrong with them. People like to hear good news. They want to listen to the good things. That's how the ego thrives. Jesus is like, well, that's okay. But actually, both the positive and negative attributes are made up by the ego because all of them are shadows. The positive judgments are light shadows. And the negative judgments are dark shadows. But shadows are shadows and not the light. Why would you settle for light shadows? Why would you take a little bit of shade when you're pure love and light? That is what we're going for. We have to learn to be guided and come into a state of mind that transcends doubt and transcends all things that my brothers point out to me. So when your brothers and your sisters are pointing things out to you, they're just acting out thoughts and beliefs that you still hold about yourself in time and space. So actually, that's why Jesus says only full appreciation and gratitude is an appropriate response to your brothers and sisters. So you truly never have a reason to be upset with them because even when they're acting out your darkest beliefs, they're just showing you a belief in the mind that is still held, dear.Enjoy David's commentary.You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VP2juv8ukwk.If you want to know more about Living Miracle and David Hoffmeister and upcoming events, look here: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The movie workshop was recorded Saturday, December 4, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Opening Session - Tabula Rasa December Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances XuFrom David's and Frances opening statements: "I think one's question is everyone's question. One's prayer is everyone's prayer because there's really only one of us. And that's what we're being convinced of, that everything I perceive through my mind is my mind. So I'm always looking at a motion picture of my mind, and I'm always feeling a state of mind that is for myself and the entire world, and that's pretty huge. Jesus says there is no world apart from what you think, and then he goes so far as to say there is no world period. So that gives you an idea of how deep the hallucination is. So first of all, if I'm seeing something that's not even there, that's a predicament. And then if I'm categorizing and judging this thing that's not even there and feeling all bent out of shape with all kinds of emotions, about this hallucination that's not even there, I need to start to be practical and learn to listen to the guidance and be intuitive. And that's what Tabula Rasa and this online retreat are all about."Enjoy David and Frances's talk and interaction with the participants in this A Course in Miracles Tabula Rasa Weekend Retreat.Watch the first 29 min of the session on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IqnwK6y1tdg.If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on December 3, 2021, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

Movie "Sully: Miracle on the Hudson" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshopfrom Davids commentary:"To live in the miracle, we need to learn to live the love in our hearts without relying on the five senses because the ego made the world, and the ego made the five senses. Truth is one, and if anybody tells you, about the five-fold truth. Say no truth is one; there's only one love, one light, one source, one God, and one experience of heaven. There are not multiple heavens. You don't go through five gates, and you don't go into the five experiences. You go into love, into Oneness. Because our experiences in this world have blocked us from the light, we are blind to the truth.Jesus was telling me yesterday, "not one thing in this world is true." Oh, okay. That's why you say it's a world of illusions because not one thing is true. That fits with Lesson number one, "nothing I see means anything." So we're going for a vast experience, and we need a lot of faith. We need faith in the Holy Spirit to take us there, and that's what we're going to do today."

Movie "Sweet November" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopTo meet my brother without a past. If you can experience this today, your life will be the most joyful, happy, vibrant life, beyond anything you can imagine, because when you can meet your brother without the past, you meet in the present moment where truth is found. In the Bible, Jesus says, take the stranger in. It doesn't mean you should be inviting people off the street to live in your house. It's another way of saying take the strange ego belief system into the light of your heart, and it will disappear, and you'll realize that there is only love. There has always only been love.

Movie 'Life or Something Like It' - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopDropping the mask and facing the fear of intimacy is the first voted theme for the movie today, and yes, we're ready for that one. Sometimes we think of the mask as our persona, our personality self. Still, Jesus would say, well, it's dropping your identification with the personality self, the persona, but really it's the whole world you perceive. The whole cosmos of time and space is your mask. Your personal mask is just a tiny part of it. So he would say; actually, it's like a big cosmic fig leaf covering your mind, hiding it in time and space, trying to deny your eternal reality as a perfect creation of God, as perfect spirit. So we need help. We're talking about more than a big fig leaf here; we're asking for the veil of time and space to be lifted from our awareness that we may go directly to the light.

Movie "Now You See Me" - Movie Session Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David HoffmeisterThe movie in this session is about magic and magicians, and maybe you don't think of your personal self as a magician. But the mind that made your personality self is the mind that believes in the ego, and the ego is the sponsor of all magic. So basically, as we go through the day, that's magic when we swipe a credit card or make an Apple Pay. So if somebody from the 14th century came and watched you pay with Apple Pay and got goods and services making a flick with a card, he would go, Oh, he is a wizard. But for the trick to be believed as real, the magician relies on trust and belief. When you put your trust and faith and belief in illusions, then we're into the realm of magic. A synonym for a magician is an illusionist, and believe it or not, all 7 billion people in the world are part of an illusion. In one sense, who you believe you are in this world is a great illusionist. Except for the part that you believe the illusion is real. Enjoy David's commentary and fool yourself into not knowing what is magic and what is real.You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube:Part 1: https://youtu.be/ZC8Ke-GitGcPart 2: https://youtu.be/5iP5WgQXISgIf you want to know more about Living Miracle and David Hoffmeister and upcoming events, look here: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The movie workshop was recorded Saturday, November 6, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Opening Session - Tabula Rasa November Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister & Frances XuDavid: "The Tabula Rasa way of life is our way of life now. It is the title of the weekend retreat because that's how we are living our life. And so, if we do look rather clueless and innocent, then that's a good sign

Movie "The Preachers Wife" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopBeing 'done through' means being animated by the Holy Spirit and listening to only one voice and having only one purpose. And then everything that the body seems to say and do is coming from the Holy Spirit. There's no person that has to figure out how to be 'done through', it's happening just from your prayer in your heart, just from your desire. When you pray and say Holy Spirit - Jesus, use me! Being 'done through' is an expression of that. So when you talk about being 'done through' there's no personality self that really is deciding what it's going to do today. There's really no personality self that can decide things in the world. Am I going to be single or married? Am I going to live in this country or that country? Am I going to study this spirituality or that spirituality? No, the one that seems to be deciding the things of the world is the ego. And it's a joke, Jesus says, it's a joke to think that time can come to circumvent eternity. It's like you're trying to box in eternal life.Enjoy David's commentary for the classic comedy movie "The Preachers Wife".You can watch some of the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/0DHildD-eHIIf you want to know more about Living Miracle and David Hoffmeister and upcoming events, look here: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The movie workshop was recorded Saturday, October 30, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Movie "The Nines" Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopA lot of quantum movies, go far beyond the linear timeframe that the ego offers us, and our movie today "The Nines" is going way beyond what seems to be the accepted meaning and interpretation of this world. Most people on the planet Earth can relate to time as yesterday, today, tomorrow. But, there's something much, much deeper, that is available to us. Imagine one regular ordinary day, Maybe you're just doing the dishes, or you're taking a walk, and it suddenly dawns on you. I made it all up. I made it all up, I'm doing this unto myself. And I'm not talking about the New Age stuff like you can create your own reality. A Course in Miracles actually teaches that God is the creator of reality. But see, God is very deep. And you might go, wow, if God didn't have anything to do with the creation of the world. If God of love, didn't have anything to do with his wacky world, then I invented the world I see, meaning my belief in the ego is really what we're talking about, when we realize I invented the world.Enjoy David's profound commentary on yet another quantum movie experience.You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube Part 1: https://youtu.be/I_6xguDuu6wPart 2: https://youtu.be/FcKI3eUmz_kIf you want to know more about Living Miracle and David Hoffmeister and upcoming events, look here: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The movie workshop was recorded Saturday, October 23, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Movie "Solaris" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop"In today's movie workshop, we're calling on Jesus and the Holy Spirit to take us through the temptations of the ego. Beyond the darkness and all the shadows of this world. And we are joining in piercing the ego's veil together, and open our hearts to experience, pure love. That is our prayer. And we're going to explore how the principle of all that I give is given to myself and that the principle of giving and receiving is the same. We're going to do it through a space journey in which a space station is marooned very close to a planet, and the planet's name is Solaris. 'Solar' means light, and 'is' means is. So "Light is" is the main theme of the movie or "God is" like Jesus says in the workbook, "we say, God is, and then we cease to speak." In other words, those are the last two words that ever need to be spoken." Enjoy David's profound commentary for this classic movie that never ends speaking to our eternal nature.

The movie "Full of Grace" Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop "At one point, Jesus uses a metaphor in the Course, where he says, you have these fallen leaves from the trees landing on a stream, and the leaves float down along the river stream, and Jesus says; Come with me, sink beneath the leaves, sink down underneath the leaves with me into the Kingdom of Heaven. It's a beautiful metaphor for going into stillness, and that's really our purpose. We're going into a cloistered community, meaning we're going into a deep mystical experience together that some have called mysticism. We will still be broadcasting and sharing from this beautiful state of mind, but the actual state is beyond words. It's beyond describing, and mother Mary will actually explain this to Simon Peter in the movie tonight."Enjoy David's mystical mindset and commentary on the mystical movie Called "Full of Grace."You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LW37X-W60hwIf you want to know more about Living Miracle and David Hoffmeister and upcoming events, look here: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The movie workshop was recorded Saturday, October 9, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Closing Session - Tabula Rasa October Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu David; I'm like a kid in a candy store with big eyes, beholding, what are you showing me now God? Always in the joy of what I'm being shown. Like our Tabula Rasa theme. Jesus told us in the course that, "You taught yourself this world and you taught yourself so thoroughly that you never paused for one moment to ask yourself, why?". Why am I teaching myself this world of separation. You never paused for a moment to look at the purpose, why am I doing this? That's why we have to unlearn the world. We've been at it for millenniums. Way beyond physical lifetimes. We are building something like a sandcastle that's not going to stand when the wave comes in. And when the wave does come in the ego screams. Now my sandcastle will be gone, like it was there in the first place. Don't regret letting go of what could never happen, that's not part of God's will. At some point, you have to get to that song from the movie Frozen. "Let it go, Let it go, Let it go. Not holding back any more."

Movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Tabula Rasa Online Retreat Movie Workshop Linear time is a construct of the ego, and you may notice that most of your thoughts during the day relate to the past and the future. If you wonder why you're not happy all the time, it's just because you have thoughts of the past and future still hanging around in the unconscious mind that flitter and flutter up to the surface during the day. What am I going to have to eat for lunch? What will I have for dinner? Is it going to rain today? Is it going to be a sunny day? Will I be able to go out and take a walk? Listen, all these thoughts are of the past and future. These are not Ramana Maharshi's thoughts. These are not Jesus Christ's thoughts, and these are not Paramahansa Yogananda's thoughts. These are thoughts of the ego of linear time. And yet, we have to allow Jesus and the Holy Spirit to use the symbols of time to undo the belief in linear time. Jesus and the Holy Spirit don't try to hurl you into eternity. They don't hurl you screamingly into the light. They actually come and massage your mind with beautiful movies like today. This movie is a mind massage, no doubt.Enjoy David's humourous and deep commentary inspired by one of the strongest forgiveness movies ever made.You can see some of the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fBMQlmvAxWo.If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on October 2, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Opening Session of the Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister, Lisa Fair, and Frances Xu - October 1, 2021"A healed mind is relieved of the belief that it must plan," Jesus says in A Course in Miracles. Still, all of us have been raised with the notion that if you want to be a successful functioning human being, a successful functioning citizen, you have to plan for the future, and if you can get good at planning, you will be MORE successful.In a later part of the text, called Beyond Idols, there is a very famous section where Jesus asks, What is an idol? Do you think you know? And he goes on to say, "An idol is for more of something. It does not matter, more of what." So MORE is the concept, is the idol. So when you want more of anything, even an event or an experience or more of an object or more of an image, it doesn't really matter MORE of what, you are not in the moment. You are not in the contentment of the holy instant.Enjoy David, Frances, and Lisa's talk about Tabula Rasa, not planning and being in the Holy Instant.You can watch the first hour of the session on YouTube: https://youtu.be/i39JjXA9LQ0If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on October 1, 2021, at La Casa de Milagros, Chapala, Mexico.

Movie "Words on Bathroom Walls" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopFrom David's commentary to the Movie "Words on Bathroom Walls" -" I'm saying that all the characters, you're looking at in the world are part of a mental schizophrenic state, and that the sleeping mind, who believes in the ego, is definitely schizophrenic. The ego is generating people, and characters that aren't really there. Most people are freaked out by schizophrenia because of the imaginary characters that aren't really there but LISTEN, we're all dealing with this every day. There are 7 billion imaginary characters that have been generated by the ego, just on planet Earth alone, running around in the ego-mind. They're all just generations of beliefs and thoughts that the ego made up. So the human condition is schizophrenic by nature and this movie is going to help us deal with this today because this movie like the movie A Beautiful Mind will really bring it home, of what it's like to deal with dark thoughts, to deal with an unconscious mind, to deal with all these characters that aren't really there and deal with all the emotions that come up when we perceive these characters."You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LWTxi9PAtdgIf you want to know more about Living Miracle and David Hoffmeister and upcoming events, look here: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The movie workshop was recorded Saturday, September 25, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Movie "Insurgent" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopWe don't wake up through rebellion, you know, we tried. We tried other ways as well and they didn't work either. And now we're about forgiveness, release the world, release the thoughts of time, release the thoughts of space, release the judgments, release grievances. Oh, it sounds so pretty. It is actually pretty. Because it works, it actually works. So that's why we're on this journey of release. We're willing to release the self-concept of what we believe we were. The roles we played, the concepts we held. We are willing to release all of it in order to find peace of mind. We are willing to empty our mind of everything we think we think and think we know and come with wholly empty hands unto your God.

"Jesus says in the Course, 'The past is over, it can touch you not.' And then he says, 'All of the past is gone, and only its beauty and loveliness has been saved for you.' So instead of over and gone he's saying, 'Only its beauty and loveliness has been saved for you.' There's something wonderful about that idea, that only the beauty and loveliness from the past has been saved for you. Because if the world is just form and the Holy Spirit can use form—the Holy Spirit can use everything that the ego made, the ego made the form, the Holy Spirit can use it. That must mean that there's a way where I can look upon it with no attraction and no avoidance, with no feeling of being limited and no feeling of 'Oo la la, I'm so glad I've got this thing or that thing.' And that must mean there's a way of looking at [the world] where you're totally free in your mind." ~ David Hoffmeister from this second session of the Tabula Rasa Mystery SchoolEnjoy this second session with David Hoffmeister of the first Tabula Rasa Mystery School in 2021.If you are interested to know more about the Tabula Rasa Mystery School and upcoming mystery schools, go to https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/tabula-rasa-mystery-schoolRecorded on September 16, 2021 in Chapala, Mexico.

Movie "GROUNDHOG DAY" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop. Imagine living your life so spontaneously. So serendipitously. So, in the moment that you don't activate the past, organize the present or plan the future. Jesus says in the course ... that past, present, and future are not continuous unless you attempt to force continuity on them, which is the opposite of what he is asking us to do. He's saying, No, you need to let go of forcing anything. You need to relax and accept the moment as it is and let go of your past regrets and grievances and criticisms and judgments and let go of your future worries and anxieties because you were never created to be a time being. You are an Eternal Being, still a perfect child of God. You've just forgotten it. And he's saying don't blame your body, don't go back into your mind and look at all the things you did wrong. That's not going to get you anywhere because it was all part of a misperception based on not being connected to the Holy Spirit, which is the correction. You see, the miracle is a choice. And in that choice, all mistakes are corrected. The miracle corrects retroactively and progressively. All the past mistakes you believe you made as a body are corrected in the miracle instantaneously, and even the future mistakes you're afraid you're gonna make are handled too. So powerful is the miracle that the light in the mind corrects retroactively and progressively. That is an invitation to the present moment. And that is why we are undoing guilt around past mistakes.Enjoy David's transformative commentary to this classic movie and hear Peter interact with participants in the closing session.You can watch David's introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ld3rS_whGEA.If you want to know more about Living Miracle and David Hoffmeister and upcoming events, look here: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.The movie workshop was recorded Saturday, September 11, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Closing Session - Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu - September 2021The Holy Spirit is all about giving and extending, and the ego is all about getting and controlling. The ego doesn't mind the concept of giving as long as it can 'tack on' to the getting. I'll give this to you if you let me get this back in return. Jesus says that's not really giving at all. God didn't create us as pure spirit and say, "...and by the way, here are my demands, and here are the conditions of what you have to give me back. God just radiated pure light and joy and spirit, total communion simply because God is that way. But in terms of this world, which is a world of ego projection, reciprocity is the key principle. Everything in the ego's world is reciprocal. And Jesus tells us right out in the course that we have to undo the belief in reciprocity. So, whether we're talking about being a minister, or whether we're talking about being a meditation teacher, or we're talking about just being happy, happiness will come from giving and not from the getting mechanism of the ego. No one who is in the getting mode will ever find lasting happiness.

"Today we'll start to get into the teachings, the practical application of the teachings, and the devotion that's actually required to live this in a constant state of mind which is really the goal for all of us. We all want to be happy and we want it consistently, we don't want patchwork of happiness, a little of this, a little of that. We know we are worthy of much more, so we have to ask for it. And we have to really sincerely ask for it." ~ David Hoffmeister from this opening session talkEnjoy this opening session of the first Tabula Rasa Mystery School in 2021.If you are interested to know more about the Tabula Rasa Mystery School and upcoming mystery schools, go to https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/tabula-rasa-mystery-schoolRecorded on September 2, 2021 in Chapala, Mexico.

Movie Workshop "The Truman Show" - Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister - September 2021The Truman Show is a fantastic awakening movie about undoing time and space and having the courage to follow the call of the heart. The world is a show produced and directed by the ego. It employs many actors, uses many sets and time loops. The show depends on sales, labeling, and product placement to sustain itself. The ego has made sure that the show is aimed at drama, repetitions, distractions, pretense, and ultimately resorts to fear in order to perpetuate itself otherwise the mind will not continue to believe its reality. Once the show is seen as nothing but a contrived skit of past memories, we can leave it and say "If I don't see you again, Good morning, Good afternoon, and Good night.Enjoy Davids's mindful use of the movie symbols to wake us up to the hidden reality behind the show and meet Peter Kirk hosting the closing session in the second part of the workshop.You can see some of the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/bDtAjbKP3nsIf you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on September 4, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Opening Session of the Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with Frances Xu and David Hoffmeister - September 2021Davids's introduction to the session: "To live in a Tabula Rasa frame of mind is really a very practical way of living. I think that's the most practical way of living. So what we're calling Tabula Rasa or having a blank slate, is really what Jesus refers to in the Course of Miracles' Workbook, where he says, ... allow everything that the ego has written on the world, to be removed and then, when you have a clean, open space, the Holy Spirit will come and give you the meaning of forgiveness and he will give you the gaze, to look upon the false as false, from a place of confidence and assuredness and certainty and laughter and joy and happiness and that's the view we want. So really the spiritual journey is opening to the Holy Spirit's perspective. Opening to another way of looking at the world in which, Jesus tells us, this world was made in hatred, but you can see it through a loving gaze and this is the gaze of the Holy Spirit, the happy dream, or the real world as Jesus calls it. Enjoy this first session in a new series of Tabula Rasa Online Retreats that will return at the first full weekend of the month.

Movie "Brother Sun Sister Moon" Commentary David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopThe first 4 themes behind the Brother Sun Sister Moon movie workshop were Divine Providence, Tabula Rasa - a clean slate, Giving all to all, and True empathy. The 5th and final theme was a mystical community, and in the movie, we get a glimpse of St Francis following his calling and the establishment of his mystical community. At first, it is just him, walking out of the gates of Assisi naked in front of his parents, and the entire city with arms wide open, Like here I am Lord. That's the kind of faith it takes to follow God. To say, I would hold nothing before you God, I give away my ideas of possession, of control, of ownership, of being right, of superior-inferior thinking. All of that, with arms wide open, I give it all to you. Take it from me. And that is the start of what we could call a mystical community.Enjoy David's profound commentary on this wonderful devotional movie.You can watch the whole introduction to the movie here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rXtwwKSdaAIIf you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on August 28, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Movie "Hare Krishna! The Mantra, the Movement and the Swami Who Started It All" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopFrom David's commentary: "Unlike Paramahansa Yogananda, who was still a fairly young man when he went to America, our Swami today is gonna wake up 70 years old and hear that he's to go to New York City from Calcutta, and he doesn't have any money. That is how the spirit really opens your heart wide. You are taken beyond your imagination and beyond what you would consider a safe probability of how your life would go. This Swami will show us that age is not an excuse. If this man can follow the spirit at 70 years old, penniless, go through the winter in New York, homeless, then none of us have an excuse. It's not like you're being called as a personal Savior, but you do have a part to play. And that part is your special function, which will be given to you, moment by moment. Again and again, it's living spontaneously in the moment without a future and has forgiveness be the key to happiness. We're not talking about necessarily forgiving a person; we're talking about being able to just see the false as false. Everything we perceive through the five senses is dualistic until we forgive, and that's why forgiveness is the key to happiness. There is a way of looking at the world in which the body's eyes continue to report differences, and that is to put them all into one category. They are not real. That is non-duality. There's your non-dual happiness. And then the ego says, Oh yeah, you're not going to survive. If you go in that direction. But you'll do more than survive; you'll be in the sweet grace of my My sweet lord."Enjoy David's enlightening commentary.You can watch the whole introduction to the movie here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FrfI1sOYEjQ.If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on August 21, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Prayer

Movie "The Island" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopThe movie "The Island" and Davids's commentary show us the awakening process right through from when we are in a deceived, conforming state to when we realize that what was considered to be life was not really life at all. We are basically a society of men and women deceived from birth who need to discover their true identity. We need to join in relationships of purpose. Our training is to follow prompts and become highly intuitive and determined to overcome the ego's attempts at stopping us from exposing the darkness. David lays bare the ego's temptation to go off and build a haven for ourselves and points out the Spirit's call to us to extend love to everyone by going deep into the mind and flip the master switch that dismantles the ego's illusion entirely. In the process, we learn to face the fear and allow the light to shine through, thereby freeing everyone as we open up to the light, even those who seem to be the enemy join in the celebration of innocence and freedom.Enjoy David's profound and bold commentary that dismantles our illusions about freedom.You can watch the whole introduction to the movie here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/u6y-FBjAyQo.If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on August 14, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Teaching of Peace at this Time - The Key to Awakening - International Conference Session with David Hoffmeister David spoke as one of twelve messengers of God at an international conference directed from Israel about his mission and answering the call from within."I feel like once we give our life over to the Messiah, who is the presence within when we learn to be the Messiah and accept that we are the Messiah, we are the Saviors of the world. Then everything else is given to us without our effort. Every person we're supposed to meet, every book we're supposed to read, every single thing we need. Not an atom in the universe of time and space is out of place. The whole universe conspires for one purpose only: for us to accept ourselves in our mind, as the Messiah, as the living Christ. So, that is my mission. That is my message. Be as Living Miracles to bless the world. Extend your miracles as guided by the inner Messiah. Don't attempt to do miracles on your own because there is no "on your own." We're all the same one. And we're all brothers and sisters who have the same spirit, and these collaborations are the most enjoyable miracles in the cascading miracles that I am a witness to."Enjoy David's divine talk about mission and message.If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on August 15, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Closing Session - "Experiencing the Heart of God" Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister & Frances XuAfter reading all the participant's prayers and questions, it became clear for Frances and David that there was a straightforward and practical solution to all of it, which is the attitude of giving. We've been raised with the attitude of getting so that the body can survive. To the world, it sounds practical, reasonable, and rational, and giving is like, Oh yeah, you know if you have anything left on top, you can give to charity. But really, the key to happiness lies in giving.Whenever we perceive a problem, a lack, or a painful situation when we tap into this giving attitude, which is, how can I give in this moment, there is an immediate switch to the spirits mindset. And then you start to look at your life and think what problem? So it's just very, very different.Enjoy David and Frances's introduction to giving and their interaction with many participants closing the last 'Awakening from The Dream' online retreat.If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on August 8, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Movie 'Deja Vu' Commentary by David Hoffmeister - "Experiencing the Heart of God" Online Retreat - Movie WorkshopBefore showing the movie "Deja Vu," which is a movie about love, light, and complacency in the human mind, David clarifies that we need to understand that there aren't good or bad interpersonal relationships. There is no hierarchy of love. There's no hierarchy of relationships; there aren't high spiritual relationships and low spiritual relationships. Love doesn't have different kinds; there's only one love, and that's the love of God, and Christ is an expression of that one love. Everyone's here for self-realization. Everyone's here to remember who you truly are. Everyone who believes they are human beings has a soul-sickness. It's a longing for God, it's a longing for Nirvana, it's a longing for Heaven. It's a longing to go home. But we are afraid of the light. So we have tried to answer this soul-sickness by making a substitute for love. We've tried to use interpersonal relationships as a substitute. We have searched for love in many faces, but everyone here in this world fears intimacy because they believe in private minds with private thoughts and private persons with private parts solely because we're afraid of the light. Enjoy David's bold descent to the bottom of the rabbit hole.You can watch the whole introduction to the movie here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MzFu7za3MnI.If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on August 7, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Movie "Billy Graham - An Extraordinary Journey" Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopFrom the beginning of the movie workshop with the movie "Billy Graham - An Extraordinary Journey," David Hoffmeister emphasized that the event's goal was to forgive Christianity and all Christians worldwide because the problem is not out there but in our mind. It's the mind that is looking through a darkened glass. If we believe in independent people out there, we believe in the problem and not the solution, then you believe in separation and not the correction. Not one thought of this world has any reality in it because only eternity has reality. Time and space are the illusion. Today, we are gathered to transcend the distorted perception of time and space and come back to The Kingdom of Heaven within. To pure Spirit.Enjoy David's passion and revolutionary view on freedom of the mind.

Movie "Can You Keep a Secret" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopIn Heaven, there is no such thing as a secret. Everything is fully known. Even in this world, when you have a revelatory experience you experience the light directly. That light is pure love. That light doesn't know of secrets. Secrets were invented by the ego. And for human beings, secrets/private thoughts are one of the most difficult things to navigate in time and space. If you think you can have thoughts that are different from the thought you have with the creator, you believe in private thought and from private thoughts, you project a private world. No two people see the same world. Basically, everything we see in this world is a private thought. It's a perceptual hallucination of separation and that is why Jesus emphasizes that we need the Holy Instant in which we are in communication with everybody and everything.Enjoy Davids's deep and profound commentary on this warm-hearted romantic comedy.You can watch the whole introduction to the movie here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jU1TabCgiocIf you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on July 24, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Movie 'God's Not Dead 2'- Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopThe top themes for this movie workshop were huge invitations to the light. Number one was keeping the heart open to God's love and what can be more important than keeping our heart open to God's love. If we want to know love, we would want to know God as ourselves as pure love. Love and life are synonymous. Jesus is telling us that life is eternal life. Life is life in God, not in form. This movie has an emphasis on being true to God and to ourselves, enjoy David's deep commentary.You can watch the introduction to the movie here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fp7P-7qdP7wIf you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on July 17, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Movies 'The Black Godfather' and 'Searching for Sugar Man' - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopThe two Documentary Movies used for this week's movie workshop helps to clarify our mind and to come to our right mind, as Jesus would call it in A Course in Miracles. So it's inspiring to be able to use these modern-day parables that we call movies as a way of teaching our mind how to forgive the world and how to release judgments. A Course in Miracles is saying that, once, you really get connected to your internal teacher. And you can call that internal teacher any name that you want. Sometimes we use Holy Spirit or Jesus, but it's just your guiding spiritual intuition taking you into this, Wake up, experience. Once you really tap into that intuitive voice, your way will be very different from what it has been in the past, as you will be living a life based on guidance and pure intuition. A 100% Intuitive Life is really the goal that we're moving towards, and an intuitive life of guidance takes you into a sense of the great rays or the light of heaven, which is our natural identity that we call the Christ.You can watch the introduction to the movies here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZvWiE6l9XT0If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on July 10, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Movie 'Knowing' - "Dependence on God" Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister - Awakening from the Dream Weekend Online RetreatTo understand the movie "Knowing" David explains; "There is no past, present and future construct. That was made up by the ego, to cover over the present moment, which is before time was. Before Abraham was, I am Jesus taught 2000 years ago. Jesus says in the course, we are reviewing mentally, what is already gone by. So of course, if you believe the body is life. If you believe in organic and biological life, If you believe the flesh is alive and not just a bunch of images. Then, you believe in the loss of life like in plane crashes, tsunamis, floods, and tragedy. But it's really the belief in the ego, which is a belief in separation from your creator that is the tragedy. It's a belief in your mind. It's not on the screen, because it made the screen. It made all those bodies, it literally peopled the world. It made everything of time and space as a defense against the truth of love. The truth of Christ, the truth of God. But I can tell you everything converges in the miracle because the miracle simply helps you see the false as false. The miracle does show you that the past is past and gone.

Movie 'Still Breathing' Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopUnworthiness and the belief in a cold, heartless, and random world are one and the same. Faith in miracles, the spark of joy, visions, intuitions, and loving tenderness are all expressions of divine healing. The movie 'Still Breathing' is a love story about a man who believed in finding true love and a woman who came to believe. Dreams of childhood innocence reflect the divine innocence within, and miracles bring this innocence back into awareness. Beneath the hard, cold persona lies the heart of an angel, waiting to be discovered. Ask and you shall be given, knock and the door shall be opened. There is a destiny that makes us One. None goes their way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own. We are the same One, and this is realized in a moment of forgiveness. All differences are gone at last. You are worthy of Love, My Beloved, so very worthy.Enjoy David's sparkly and joyful commentary for this gem of a relationship movie.You can watch Davids introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/mRZphyXZR4gIf you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on June 26, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.

Movie "Source Code" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie WorkshopYears ago David would recommend the movie 'Solaris' if only you could bring one movie with you on a lonely island, but today he recommends 'Source Code'. Why? Because it will save you thousands of years on your awakening journey.You are convinced by your everyday perceptions of yourself that you know the personality self that you are. Yet when you open your mind, Spirit will loosen the grip of this idea. If you think you know what's going to make you happy, you have no clue how deep the rabbit hole goes. This movie gives opportunities to see, “Oh, I was wrong about that.” We come to see that we hold underlying grievances and that the grievances can be healed through forgiveness.When the Spirit takes you up in his tractor beam, you do not know what is happening. Things are going to keep falling away because the lesson underneath the dream is forgiveness. Emptying your mind of everything you think you think and think you know about your identity is the Spirit's way of revealing your real identity. Enjoy David's exceptional freeing commentary for this must-see again movie.You can watch Davids introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jmpYiLBVt14If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded on June 19, 2021, in Chapala, Mexico.
