David Hoffmeister & A Course In Miracles

Tabula Rasa Mystery School: Restoring Communication with SpiritWelcome to another profound session at the Tabula Rasa Mystery School. On this fifth day, David, Marina, and Urpi lead a deeply transformative dialogue and Q&A centered on Restoring Communication with Spirit.Today's exploration takes us beyond conventional communication—beyond spoken words—to the essence of true connection. As teams gather in their pods for expression sessions, they embark on a practice of dissolving barriers and opening their minds to communication that transcends interpersonal relationships. "Say what you mean and mean what you say" becomes more than a phrase; it turns into a calling to align so completely with the Holy Spirit that one's words, thoughts, and emotions reflect divine guidance.Through the practice of having no private thoughts and no people-pleasing, participants begin to experience a different perspective on communication.  It shifts from a horizontal, person-to-person exchange to a vertical, Spirit-led dialogue—a pathway to experiencing love in its purest form. For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on the evening of June 9, 2025, at Casa de Milagros, Chapala, Mexico.

The final session of the Strawberry Fields Festival is a powerful culmination of music, dialogue, and spiritual reflection. Kicking off the morning, the band RISE sets the tone with three heartfelt songs, offering an opening to stillness and inspiration. David and Kirsten step into the space for a profound discussion on guidance, divine connection, and the nature of choosing between what is valuable and what is valueless. Drawing from Lesson 133 of A Course in Miracles, the dialogue explores the transformative idea that what lasts forever holds all value, while the temporary is ultimately empty. They emphasize the need to shift from theoretical knowledge to a practical, lived experience—inviting listeners into a space where miracles collapse time and bring clarity.Through personal insights, storytelling, and an engaging question-and-answer session, David and Kirsten highlight the essence of true surrender. Kirsten shares that before divine guidance can be received, there must be a wholehearted “Yes”—a willingness to step beyond self-determined choices and fully embrace the unfolding spiritual plan.This closing session weaves together music, wisdom, and interactive dialogue, leaving listeners with a deep sense of connection, inspiration, and a renewed commitment to spiritual awakening.For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on May 31, 2025, Living Miracles Monastery, Duchesne, Utah, USA

The Opening of Strawberry Fields Festival features RISE, David Hoffmeister, Kirsten Buxton, and Jason Warwick.Immerse yourself in the transcendent music and teachings from the Strawberry Fields Festival's opening session. This recording begins with three soul-stirring songs from the band RISE, setting the stage for an exploration into the profound truths of divine innocence.In the session, David Hoffmeister, Kirsten Buxton, and Jason Warwick guide listeners on a journey inward, revealing that innocence is not a fragmented concept of the world but an unwavering truth. We are as God created us: pure spirit, pure love. We have never been separate; we have never erred. This understanding dissolves illusions and leads us into holiness, unlocking the freedom of our minds and the liberation of the world. The festival's theme song, “Nothing is real, nothing to get hung about,” serves as a reminder that true mastery is achieved through love—not fear. It is not about meeting worldly needs but about embracing the divine. Atonement is the realization that separation never occurred, and in this awareness, time fades. The past is relinquished, the future loses relevance, and eternity stands revealed. This profoundly moving session concludes with a final song from RISE, bringing the message full circle—calling us to let go, embrace truth, and step into the peace of our true identity. For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on May 30, 2025, Living Miracles Monastery, Duchesne, Utah, USA

 2nd. Undoing of Linear Time - Saturday Movie Gathering with David and MarinaLesson 158 describes time as a trick and an illusion, with figures appearing and disappearing as if by magic. However, behind these appearances is a plan of atonement. At the end of the journey, we imagine and review our mental experiences. The movie follows the main character on a journey of love and mastery through love. This journey is not about fear but mastery through love; we must be willing and ready to achieve mastery.The lesson also emphasizes that we are in charge of time and space, and the miracle collapses time for us. We are here to undo the belief in linear time and dispel the trick of thinking there is a world outside ourselves. The greatest gift of all is our identity, created in spirit by God. God's free will is locked out from awareness, but the only remaining part of God's will is through a willingness to open our hearts and minds and let go of the past.For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.To participate in a Living Miracles online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsRecorded live on May 3, 2025, Online, Chapala, Mexico

The End of the Belief in Ego and Linear Time - Movie Commentary by David and Marina This movie gathering hosted by David and Marina will be the first of four movies that undo the belief in the ego, which means undoing the belief in linear time. This week's movie is a mind experience that challenges the beliefs of linear time and the ego's hostility towards the world. It teaches us that time is not linear, we cannot change the past, and there are no choices or alternatives in the world. Love is universal, and joy is a choice made now. Recorded April 26, 2025 Online

In this podcast David and Urpi discuss the power of Love and the courage needed to disappear into Love. The first verse of the song Courageously Disappear into Love is directly below:Courageously Disappear into LoveI lay down my story in the hands of Light, (Entrego mi historia en manos de la Luz,)I surrender my shadow to the wings of flight, (Entrego mi sombra a las alas del vuelo,)I voy walk through the fire, I drop every glove (Camino por el fuego, dejo cada defensa,)I courageously disappear into Love.(Desaparezco valientemente en el Amor.)

Salvation can be thought of as a game that happy children play. ²It was designed by One Who loves His children, and Who would replace their fearful toys with joyous games, which teach them that the game of fear is gone. ⁴Everyone who plays must win, and in his winning is the gain to everyone ensured. ⁵The game of fear is gladly laid aside, when children come to see the benefits salvation brings.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - 4th Movie Session, Evening 4/4 - Hayama -JapanDavid Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.Tonight's movie explores the power of the mind and dissociation from reality. Like in A Course in Miracles, it reveals that when we forget about heaven and God, we experience amnesia, forgetting our identity. This dissociation leads to external forces and things happening beyond the mind's control, leading to a world where characters have their own minds, thoughts, and wills. But all the characters are acting a part chosen in an ancient incident long ago. When you go back deep enough in the mind, you see that everyone is playing a prearranged part that was decided long ago.To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 23, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - 3rd Movie Session, Evening 3/4 - Hayama -JapanDavid Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.This evening's movie aims to demonstrate that intellectual capacity and intelligence are not as important as they seem in the world. The ego uses the world's abilities and roles to strengthen an image it created as a substitute for God. Jesus' teachings in the Bible emphasize the importance of learning to lay down one's life and open up one's heart to God. However, the ego interprets "lay down your life" as a sacrifice of the body, associating life with biological life or human development. Jesus' words mean "lay down your ego and follow me."To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 22, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - 2nd Movie Session, Evening 2 /4 - Hayama -JapanThe Course in Miracles highlights the importance of change as the greatest gift from God. The Holy Spirit is the gift of changing our minds, accepting eternity and light over darkness. The ego, which seeks control, is threatened by a change of mind, as seen in the United States' current attempt to cling to the past. The Holy Spirit promotes release from control, allowing us to accept the eternal and light of life.To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 21, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Retreat Day 4/4, Fourth Morning Session - Hayama -Japan - Talk by David Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.In this last morning talk at the Japanese Hayama 4-day retreat, David teaches that God's Son is not a traveler through outer worlds, suggesting that our minds are like a dream, watching the world through an ego filter. So we start by receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit, but it has to come through an ego filter. And the guidance, therefore, seems to involve persons and appears to be interpersonal. But the miracle leaves your mind with a feeling of closeness and connection. Jesus says, "You need to do nothing," asking the mind to remain aware that it is a dream. What the body seems to do or not to do is ultimately not the lesson. But when you follow guidance, it can seem like the Spirit is speaking through you and smiling through you and use you as a puppet. But this is just a symbol that the mind is coming into alignment with the light of the Holy Spirit. The ultimate lesson is to align the mind with the Holy Spirit's light, recognizing itself as a single mind.Enjoy David's last morning session talking to Japanese students. To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 23, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Retreat Day 3 /4, Third Morning Session - Hayama -Japan. David Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.The practice of A Course in Miracles teaches us to overlook error. Perceiving error stems from the ego, while the Holy Spirit remembers God's love and only sees the good. To adopt this perspective, we must release comparisons, as the ego seeks to judge and validate. Parents often try to instill self-esteem, but Jesus reminds us that God establishes our worth, not our actions or opinions. Thus, we practice letting go of our self-concept and image. We often chase talents or possessions, but Jesus guides us to abandon these pursuits to rediscover our true self, as created by God. The body may develop skills, yet those skills lack inherent value made by the ego. The critical question becomes: what purpose do I assign to these skills?Enjoy David's third morning talking to Japanese students. To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 22, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Movie Session, Evening 1 /4 - Hayama -Japan, Commentary by David Hoffmeister with Japanese translation.The world is often compared to a video game, with different characters and non-player characters. Jesus, in "A Course in Miracles," refers to the hero of the dream as the main character. In the video game, there are heroes and villains, with the extras being the supporting cast. Jesus emphasizes that we see images but do not see ourselves as the image maker. He suggests that we have unreal thoughts and images that are not real and hide behind projections. Jesus tells us in Lesson 132, "There is no world apart from what you wish." So, to perceive a world, you have to believe it and wish for it.To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 20, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Retreat Day 2 /4 Second Morning Session - Hayama -Japan Talk by David Hoffmeister with Japanese Translation.In this second morning session at the Hayama 4-day retreat, David explores the perceptual problem, which pertains to the belief that the subject and the object are different. That the observer is different from the observed. And that the personality self is different from the world that surrounds it. So when we see an issue in the world, it really is just... a split in the mind. This belief can result in significant problems such as conflict, climate change, and hunger, all of which can be traced back to the division within the mind. Jesus' A Course in Miracles addresses this challenge by teaching two important workbook lessons: Lesson 79, "Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved," and Lesson 80, "Let me recognize my problems have been solved." By examining the projected world, we often fail to identify the core problem because it manifests in many forms. You may resolve a few problems today, only to encounter more tomorrow. Therefore, the key lies in our perspective, which stems from our interpretation.To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 21, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

神を第一にする - Putting God First - Retreat Day 1 /4 Opening Morning Session - Hayama -Japan (Japanese translation).David Hoffmeister begins the Hayama 4-Day Japan Retreat by exploring the concept of undoing the self-concept—a conditioned expectation that obstructs our understanding of the world. He explains that the ego arises from the mind's pursuit of self-improvement, crafting illusory goals that keep the mind preoccupied and detached from its boundless nature.The ego's game is endless, as it neither begins nor concludes. The purpose of our practice, Hoffmeister suggests, is to abandon the pursuit of temporal goals and relinquish the false identity—the mask of the ego. In doing so, we experience the mind's all-encompassing nature, recognizing that the world, society, and everything once perceived as external are, in truth, within the mind. As the mind reaches a state of rest, the external world reflects this peace, becoming more harmonious. According to Hoffmeister, this practice is pivotal for attaining a profound understanding of the world and the true self.Listen to Davids's profound talk, the first of 4 days of retreat sessions.To participate in an online Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsFor more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on March 20, 2025, in Hayama, Japan.

What is True Renunciation? - Movie Workshop at Celebration of Illumination 2025 with David HoffmeisterThe movie David shows at the "Celebration of Illumination" event is an excellent introduction to the more profound teachings of A Course in Miracles and its practical application to the world. Mysticism, which is pure devotion to God, is often confused with renunciation, especially in Eastern traditions. However, Jesus clarifies that true renunciation is about withdrawing belief in the ego, not performing ritualistic acts. As everyone becomes aware of their attachments and addictions, including the habit of judgment, Jesus aims to help us free our minds by realizing we were never meant to be judges. He teaches that renouncing the ego, created by our belief in it, is a mind event requiring disciplined mind training to live as the Christ rather than the ego.In part 1, David provides his commentary on the movie.

Finding the Divine Truth: When 'No' Becomes a 'Yes' to God - A Community Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterThe central question at the movie gathering was, "Can you show me a movie that truly helps me understand that sometimes, my 'no' can be a 'yes' to God?" What does the Bible say, and what have we learned in the Course? The Course teaches us, "Let your yes be yes and your no be no." "Let the Holy Spirit guide your words." "Don't associate 'yes' with God and 'no' with ego because you must always let the Spirit give you your yeses and nos." However, if people-pleasing is involved or if there's guilt beneath the 'no' or the 'yes,' it's wrong-minded. We can be sure of this because guilt and innocence don't meet. Even though one is not the opposite of the other, in this world, we believe that guilty people are imprisoned and innocent people are released.To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, February 12, 2025, at Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

They unexpectedly open up to each other, uncovering an unexpected treasure.Filmed at a Tabula Rasa Mystery School, the documentary is guided by two simple yet profound principles: "No private thoughts" and "No people-pleasing."

"Beyond Specialness: Unveiling the Illusion of Separation and Ego" Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterThis movie session focuses on exposing and releasing specialness, which is not just between people or in the environment but also the ego's belief in separation from God and the belief that there is more than everything. This belief attracts the mind into a projection of the cosmos, resulting in the belief that we are in the world. The ego projects out a world of specifics, fragments the whole, and believes that there is something other than God.To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, February 5, 2025, at Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

The Constructed Self: Exploring the Concept of Invention in Human Identity - Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterWe all know that smartphones, iPads, and computers are inventions, but generally, we don't tend to think of ourselves as inventions. If you meet somebody and they say, "Where are you from?" They're not asking, "Where were you manufactured?" Or they're not saying, "Where were you invented?" They're just, "Where were you born?" So we would not quite use that invention word for our human personalities. But if we go a lot deeper, there is a workbook lesson in the Course where Jesus says, "I have invented the world I see." So he's using the invented word. All inventions are constructed. They're like products, but the mind has fallen asleep and forgotten that it believes in separation from God and forgot that it's dreaming. So it doesn't tend to think of itself as a construct. Jesus says, "You think of the body as an end instead of a means."To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, January 29, 2025, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

Atonement and Transcendence: Beyond Time and Fear - Community Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterThe ultimate goal of life is to accept the atonement, which is the realization that the past and future are identical.

Tonight's animated movie, which is without dialogue or names, explores universal fears to help viewers transcend their own fears.To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, January 22, 2025, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

Gaming and Spirituality: Transcending the Ego's Illusions and Embracing a Joyful Awakening - A Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterGaming, like the world we perceive, is a realm of images created by the ego to distract us from the Kingdom of Heaven.  The Holy Spirit can use these images for salvation, transforming the game of the ego into a happy game of divine love and oneness.To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, January 15, 2025, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

Urpi and David share the Joy of Being Present. They sing a happy Song of Spirit! Joy and pain are not the same, Joy being miracles and pain being the belief in sacrifice. Personality is nothing but past associations, while Christ lives in the Holy Instant.

Aaron Abke's Journey and Reinterpretation of Jesus' Teachings - Letting Go of SacrificeDavid uses the video “The True Teachings of Jesus Will Destroy Christianity as We Know It” as a mind-training exercise to reinterpret Jesus' teachings. The goal is to focus on forgiveness and accepting the atonement, as God will take the final step of remembering oneness and eternal life. Sacrifice is considered a belief of the ego, offering no value and perpetuating the belief that something must be given up for spiritual growth.You can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/cyivXDVwJdc?si=C1eHOgGD-QmzyllCTo participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, January 12, 2025, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

Embracing the Many Paths to Spiritual Awakening and Forgiveness - Movie Gathering with David HoffmeisterThere are thousands of pathways to God, all centered around forgiveness and releasing illusions to remember the truth.  Our perception of the world, based on the five senses, is indirect and imagined, not reflecting reality.  Spiritual awakening involves freeing the mind from past associations and embracing direct experiences of light. This movie gathering is focused on the path to God through music.To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatheringsIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, January 8, 2024, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

Embracing the New Year: A Journey Towards Extreme Letting Go and Deeper Collaboration with David HoffmeisterDavid uses the New Year movie gathering to underscore the new year's significance as an opportunity for profound transformation and collaboration. While the Living Miracles community has mastered the art of uniting and forgiving, it is now time to embark on a deeper level of "extreme letting go." David highlights the importance of moving beyond mere "doing" to enter a state of pure being, shedding self-concept, and embracing a more profound purpose. His message encourages a communal shift toward deeper understanding and complete surrender to the process of undoing.The talk was recorded in the evening of January 1, 2025, at Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

Christmas Movie Gathering in Brazil with David Hoffmeister 2024In this Christmas gathering in Brazil, David discusses time loop movies and their connection to the Bible, which emphasizes the importance of not holding images before God. The world is a world of images, and when we make certain images important, they become idols. Jesus taught that the kingdom of heaven is within us, and true religion is peace of mind.The world has many distractions, making it tempting not to pray and remain still. David uses the example of Walt Disney's animated characters, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, to illustrate this point. The key thing is that the animation doesn't seem to happen until you multiply this image many times and very quickly, turning what seems like a two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional motion picture. This illusion of change in motion is the trick of time, and underneath all these moving images, there is a belief that something is missing. Something is lacking.The entire linear time-space cosmos is a world of scarcity, lack, and competition. The same is true for human beings and relationships; experiencing universal agape love is not possible in the construct of images.The cosmos is like a giant mask over the light of the I AM Presence. Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I AM," referring to love prior to the belief in time and space. He proclaims that that's what love is.

4th Session - Closing Session, Q&A, Mosteiro Itaici, Sao Paulo, Brazil with David Hoffmeister and Paulinha OliveiraIn this last session from the December Brazil Retreat, David and Paulinha answered questions from the participants.Question: "How do I know if I'm listening to the Holy Spirit or my intuition?"  David: "Discipline is a lifelong devotion to hear only one voice, the Holy Spirit. The guidance of the Holy Spirit comes through with a deep feeling of peace, comfort, and blessings. The Holy Spirit is soft and gentle, never commanding or demanding, and leaves it up to the mind to follow. Sometimes, the Holy Spirit's guidance can be unexpected, leading to a reaction from the ego with doubt-thoughts. The ego focuses on past outcomes or hoped-for future outcomes, while the Holy Spirit's guidance is practical, straight, and simple. The Holy Spirit does not provide long-range goals or plans. It is essential to have discernment throughout one's life.If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://www.the-christ.net/eventsRecorded, Morning December 15, 2024, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Movie Workshop, Mosteiro Itaici, Sao Paulo, Brazil, with David HoffmeisterThe movie used in this workshop focuses on Jesus's Mother, Mary, and portrays a series of unpredictable events, with the Angel Gabriel serving as a guiding light. These events, though firm, hint at a purpose beyond this world. The ego created the world as a closed system of darkness with no hope of escape. The world was dark before Christ, with Jewish prophecies about the Messiah seeming forgotten. Salvation is seen as a way to escape this darkness, fulfilling the prophecy. The New Testament underscores the importance of Jesus's birth and liberation from a bleak and dismal world. Without a bright ray of light, no contrast or sign of something greater exists.If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://www.the-christ.net/eventsRecorded, Afternoon December 14, 2024, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

2nd. Session, Brazil Weekend Retreat, Mosteiro Itaici, Sao Paulo, with David Hoffmeister and Paulinha OliveiraDavid starts this second morning session by emphasizing the importance of perfect equality in our perception of the world, stating that no one is ahead or behind and that we should practice forgiveness by letting judgments come up and letting them go.David and Paulinha also emphasize the importance of the Holy Instant, which allows us to see our brothers and sisters in a new way. They underline that differences are judgments, and when we fall asleep, we forget God and heaven, leading to intense fear and chaos.The ego attempts to invent an identity to replace our Christ Spirit, and the spiritual journey involves letting the darkness come up from the unconscious mind and letting it go to the Holy Spirit. Communication is crucial in allowing the darkness to come up and go to the light, and mirroring is essential for releasing it. If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://www.the-christ.net/eventsRecorded, Morning December 14, 2024, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
