    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

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

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.

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.

    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.

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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.
