For decades, the Hugh Lynn Cayce manuscript—sometimes called the "Sparkly"—has been described as "the Thetford Edit," based on the belief that Bill was its primary editor. But does the historical evidence actually support that claim? In this episode, Robert and Emily Perry examine eyewitness accounts and the Course's early manuscripts to ask who was really making the editorial decisions—and offer a clearer picture of how the Course came to be.

For two thousand years, we've known Jesus as Messiah, Son of God, Lord and Savior. But somewhere along the way, another Jesus largely disappeared from view: Jesus the Teacher. In this message from a Sunday Gathering sermon, we explore what happened to that Jesus and why recovering him matters now. Drawing on Robert's forthcoming book, The Teacher: Reclaiming the Original Message of Jesus of Nazareth, we'll return to the Gospels and encounter a Jesus who taught an astonishing vision of how to be in this world and why it matters now. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Jennifer Hadley says she doesn't have bad days anymore. Not fewer. None. Challenging days, yes, and recently a fractured finger that hurt plenty, but the whole category is gone, and it didn't go because she got better at pretending. Longtime A Course in Miracles teacher Maria Felipe hears the claim, recognizes it, and names the one thing that makes it possible in a single word. Most ACIM students stop just short of it without ever noticing they've stopped.  Two longtime friends are telling the truth about living ACIM.

LESSON 225God Is My Father, And His Son Loves Him.Father, I must return Your Love for me, for giving and receiving are the same, and You have given all Your Love to me. I must return it, for I want it mine in full awareness, blazing in my mind and keeping it within its kindly light, inviolate, beloved, with fear behind and only peace ahead. How still the way Your loving Son is led along to You!Brother, we find that stillness now. The way is open. Now we follow it in peace together. You have reached your hand to me, and I will never leave you. We are one, and it is but this oneness that we seek, as we accomplish these few final steps which end a journey that was not begun.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

This weekend's theme on "The Way" is "Before the Fall, I AM", and in this opening session, Jason Warwick leads a powerful 'Levels of Mind' session. The episode begins by emphasizing the importance of true heart expansion—using a striking metaphor of running toward thunder and dissolving into the light to demonstrate who we are before the separation.  During the session, Jason helps a participant named Tanya explore her feelings of being trapped, powerless, and afraid due to her current living situation. Tanya shares that she has been trying to sell or rent her house, but feels stuck and deeply disturbed by her neighbor's dog barking all day. Through their dialogue, Jason helps her uncover deeper beliefs tied to this situation, including a profound sense of guilt and the subconscious thought that she is being punished. By guiding Tanya through these layers, Jason demonstrates how the 'Levels of Mind' worksheet can serve as a tool to release these deeply held beliefs and choose peace over worldly attachments.  To further illustrate this process of letting go, Jason brings on Juli, a community member who shares her own experience of selling a business in Australia. Juli discusses the guilt, unworthiness, and resistance she faced when trying to negotiate a fair price with her ex-partner. She explains how she eventually surrendered the outcome to the Holy Spirit, which not only allowed the sale to unfold easily but also freed her mind to uncover even deeper beliefs. Through these real-life examples, this episode offers profound insights into how we can navigate our own challenges by prioritizing peace of mind and trusting in divine guidance.  These gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for The Way for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Saturday, August 7, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

LESSON 224God Is My Father, And He Loves HisSon.My true Identity is so secure, so lofty, sinless, glorious and great, wholly beneficent and free from guilt, that Heaven looks to It to give it light. It lights the world as well. It is the gift my Father gave to me; the one as well I give the world. There is no gift but This that can be either given or received. This is reality, and only This. This is illusion's end. It is the truth.My Name, O Father, still is known to You. I have forgotten it, and do not know where I am going, who I am, or what it is I do. Remind me, Father, now, for I am weary of the world I see. Reveal what You would have me see instead.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this deeply moving episode, David Hoffmeister sits down with Brazilian A Course in Miracles teacher Jeane Mendes to share their amazing and profound encounters with the divine. Together, they explore what it means to experience true revelation and how to navigate the return to the physical world after witnessing pure light.  During the conversation, Jeane recounts her extraordinary journey, explaining how she was lying in bed, exhausted from work, and seeking help from Jesus and Mother Mary when she heard the loving voice of God. She explains that this voice gently asked if she would let go of her worldly attachments before she stepped fully into an immensely loving light where she felt all minds were present within her.  Similarly, David shares his mystical experiences in Kentucky, detailing a moment deep in the woods where he meditated while gazing into a friend's eyes. He describes how his visual perception of the physical world flattened out like a painting before bright light streamed through his friend's silhouette, eventually causing the physical world to disappear entirely into an unspeakable experience of pure light and love.  Beyond the moments of revelation, the two teachers discuss the sudden relapses into unconscious guilt or deep sadness that can often follow when returning to the ego's thought system. To navigate this reentry, they provide insights on using forgiveness and trust in the Holy Spirit to release worldly attachments. By letting go of the need to control finances, diets, or relationships, they explain how one can live freely in the world without experiencing this spiritual surrender as a sacrifice.  If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, August 5, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

LESSON 223God Is My Life. I Have No Life But His.I was mistaken when I thought I lived apart from God, a separate entity that moved in isolation, unattached, and housed within a body. Now I know my life is God's, I have no other home, and I do not exist apart from Him. He has no Thoughts that are not part of me, and I have none but those which are of Him.Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We would look upon our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your Son. And we would not forget You longer. We are lonely here, and long for Heaven, where we are at home. Today we would return. Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Your Son.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

We have no LIFE except the one God gave us. We think that we made up a life, but this spark of Creation that we ARE, did not originate from us. It originated from a Power that is in us, but not of us. We were Created in the LOVING SPIRIT of the Cosmos, and we never left this SOURCE of Creation. This Lesson, #223, acknowledges this SOURCE, and also gets us looking in the right direction toward a Life Free of all problems and mistakes. "Let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes, for we who are you Holy Son are sinless." What a most powerful line in ACIM. Can we bring this into application? It is given to us today to apply and even to realize. Blessings to you. MARKUS & SONDRA

LESSON 222God Is With Me. I Live And Move In Him.God is with me. He is my Source of life, the life within, the air I breathe, the food by which I am sustained, the water which renews and cleanses me. He is my home, wherein I live and move; the Spirit Which directs my actions, offers me Its Thoughts, and guarantees my safety from all pain. He covers me with kindness and with care, and holds in love the Son He shines upon, who also shines on Him. How still is he who knows the truth of what He speaks today!Father, we have no words except Your Name upon our lips and in our minds, as we come quietly into Your Presence now, and ask to rest with You in peace a while.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this episode we discover and talk about how the ego wants to claim happiness as its achievement.We speak about how the Holy Spirit reinterprets everything for good.We explore how ACIM provides a pointer to who we are and why one need not defend oneself.How happiness is now and is the universal experience.Enjoy this multilayered joining!Blessings!!!Wanako

Part IIIntroductionWords will mean little now. We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. For now we seek direct experience of truth alone. The lessons that remain are merely introductions to the times in which we leave the world of pain, and go to enter peace. Now we begin to reach the goal this course has set, and find the end toward which our practicing was always geared.Now we attempt to let the exercise be merely a beginning. For we wait in quiet expectation for our God and Father. He has promised He will take the final step Himself. And we are sure His promises are kept. We have come far along the road, and now we wait for Him. We will continue spending time with Him each morning and at night, as long as makes us happy. We will not consider time a matter of duration now. We use as much as we will need for the result that we desire. Nor will we forget our hourly remembrance in between, calling to God when we have need of Him as we are tempted to forget our goal.We will continue with a central thought for all the days to come, and we will use that thought to introduce our times of rest, and calm our minds at need. Yet we will not content ourselves with simple practicing in the remaining holy instants which conclude the year that we have given God. We say some simple words of welcome, and expect our Father to reveal Himself, as He has promised. We have called on Him, and He has promised that His Son will not remain unanswered when he calls His Name.Now do we come to Him with but His Word upon our minds and hearts, and wait for Him to take the step to us that He has told us, through His Voice, He would not fail to take when we invited him. He has not left His Son in all his madness, nor betrayed His trust in Him. Has not His faithfulness earned Him the invitation that He seeks to make us happy? We will offer it, and it will be accepted. So our times with Him will now be spent. We say the words of invitation that His Voice suggests, and then we wait for Him to come to us.Now is the time of prophecy fulfilled. Now are all ancient promises upheld and fully kept. No step remains for time to separate from its accomplishment. For now we cannot fail. Sit silently and wait upon your Father. He has willed to come to you when you have recognized it is your will He do so. And you could have never come this far unless you saw, however dimly, that it is your will.I am so close to you we cannot fail. Father, we give these holy times to You, in gratitude to Him Who taught us how to leave the world of sorrow in exchange for its replacement, given us by You. We look not backward now. We look ahead, and fix our eyes upon the journey's end. Accept these little gifts of thanks from us, as through Christ's vision we behold a world beyond the one we made, and take that world to be the full replacement of our own.And now we wait in silence, unafraid and certain of Your coming. We have sought to find our way by following the Guide You sent to us. We did not know the way, but You did not forget us. And we know that You will not forget us now. We ask but that Your ancient promises be kept which are Your Will to keep. We will with You in asking this. The Father and the Son, Whose holy Will created all that is, can fail in nothing. In this certainty, we undertake these last few steps to You, and rest in confidence upon Your Love, which will not fail the Son who calls to You.And so we start upon the final part of this one holy year, which we have spent together in the search for truth and God, Who is its one Creator. We have found the way He chose for us, and made the choice to follow it as He would have us go. His Hand has held us up. His Thoughts have lit the darkness of our minds. His Love has called to us unceasingly since time began.We had a wish that God would fail to have the Son whom He created for Himself. We wanted God to change Himself, and be what we would make of Him. And we believed that our insane desires were the truth. Now we are glad that this is all undone, and we no longer think illusions true. The memory of God is shimmering across the wide horizons of our minds. A moment more, and it will rise again. A moment more, and we who are God's Sons are safely home, where He would have us be.Now is the need for practice almost done. For in this final section, we will come to understand that we need only call to God, and all temptations disappear. Instead of words, we need but feel His Love. Instead of prayers, we need but call His Name. Instead of judging, we need but be still and let all things be healed. We will accept the way God's plan will end, as we received the way it started. Now it is complete. This year has brought us to eternity.One further use for words we still retain. From time to time, instructions on a theme of special relevance will intersperse our daily lessons and the periods of wordless, deep experience which should come afterwards. These special thoughts should be reviewed each day, each one of them to be continued till the next is given you. They should be slowly read and thought about a little while, preceding one of the holy and blessed instants in the day. We give the first of these instructions now.What is Forgiveness?Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred. It does not pardon sins and make them real. It sees there was no sin. And in that view are all your sins forgiven. What is sin, except a false idea about God's Son? Forgiveness merely sees its falsity, and therefore lets it go. What then is free to take its place is now the Will of God.An unforgiving thought is one which makes a judgment that it will not raise to doubt, although it is not true. The mind is closed, and will not be released. The thought protects projection, tightening its chains, so that distortions are more veiled and more obscure; less easily accessible to doubt, and further kept from reason. What can come between a fixed projection and the aim that it has chosen as its wanted goal?An unforgiving thought does many things. In frantic action it pursues its goal, twisting and overturning what it sees as interfering with its chosen path. Distortion is its purpose, and the means by which it would accomplish it as well. It sets about its furious attempts to smash reality, without concern for anything that would appear to pose a contradiction to its point of view.Forgiveness, on the other hand, is still, and quietly does nothing. It offends no aspect of reality, nor seeks to twist it to appearances it likes. It merely looks, and waits, and judges not. He who would not forgive must judge, for he must justify his failure to forgive. But he who would forgive himself must learn to welcome truth exactly as it is.Do nothing, then, and let forgiveness show you what to do, through Him Who is your Guide, your Savior and Protector, strong in hope, and certain of your ultimate success. He has forgiven you already, for such is His function, given Him by God. Now must you share His function, and forgive whom He has saved, whose sinlessness He sees, and whom He honors as the Son of God.LESSON 221Peace To My Mind. Let All My Thoughts Be Still.Father, I come to You today to seek the peace that You alone can give. I come in silence. In the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses of my mind, I wait and listen for Your Voice. My Father, speak to me today. I come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You will hear my call and answer me.Now do we wait in quiet.God is here, because we wait together. I am sure that He will speak to you, and you will hear. Accept my confidence, for it is yours. Our minds are joined. We wait with one intent; to hear our Father's answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and find His peace, to hear Him speak to us of what we are, and to reveal Himself unto His Son.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 220Review of Lesson 200I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.(200) There is no peace except the peace of God.Let me not wander from the way of peace,for I am lost on other roads than this.But let me follow Him Who leads me home,and peace is certain as the Love of God.I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

"There is no Peace except the Peace of God." This is the last Lesson in Part I of the Workbook of ACIM. Think of the phrase, "Looking for Love in all the wrong places.” This Lesson implies we have been seeking peace but pursuing war. We have been saying we want Love but feeding the fires of conflict. Thought itself is a conflict Manufacturer—albeit in the name of "peace." There is no surrender to the Peace of God in a mind that thinks it "knows" what it is. We do not know what only God can Know unless we stop pursuing our notions of "what we think it is." War will end when we forgive ourselves for perpetuating war, and drop it. This unequivocal Lesson says peace does not exist outside the Mind of God. So let us today, with deep humility and grace, ask that our "pursuits" and "attempts" to establish "peace" come to and end, and that we can receive even a glimpse of this Truth, the real Peace of God. 

LESSON 219Review of Lesson 199I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.(199) I am not a body. I am free.I am God's Son. Be still, my mind, and think a moment upon this.And then return to earth, without confusion as to what my Father loves forever as His Son.I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 218Review of Lesson 198I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.(198) Only my condemnation injures me.My condemnation keeps my vision dark,and through my sightless eyes I cannot see the vision of my glory.Yet today I can behold this glory and be glad.I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Welcome to a powerful Saturday Movie Session and Q&A from "The Way" retreat. Recorded on August 1, 2026, David Hoffmeister guides listeners on a journey toward Complete Forgiveness and Time's End.The episode begins with David exploring a specially edited Star Trek: Deep Space Nine parable, aptly titled "Time's End". Through the character of Commander Sisko, who is trapped by the painful memory of his wife's death, David illustrates how the ego uses dark storylines to justify a false identity and maintain the illusion of separation. Listeners learn that the Holy Spirit uses these very roles and memories to teach contrast, unwinding the mind from its belief in linear time and guiding it back to the awareness of pure Spirit.Following the movie commentary, David takes questions from the audience, addressing profound topics including:How to release attachments to physical outcomes and controlNavigating the "dark night of the soul" by letting go of the five senses and trusting intuitionHow the ego uses differences and past trauma to reinforce feelings of unworthinessThe difference between the Holy Spirit's parables and true telepathic communicationTune in to discover how to surrender your personal perspective, embrace true empathy, and open your heart to the miraculous joy of God's Love.These gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for The Way for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Saturday, August 1st, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

LESSON 217Review of Lesson 197I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.(197) It can be but my gratitude I earn.Who should give thanks for my salvation but myself?And how but through salvation can I find the Self to Whom my thanks are due?I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Welcome to the Friday Evening Opening Session of "The Way" Weekend retreat with David Hoffmeister and Kirsten Buxton. Recorded on July 31, 2026, this session introduces the weekend's powerful theme: "Times End - The Power of Interpretation".  In this discussion, David and Kirsten explore how the ego uses linear time and the belief that we are separate bodies to keep the mind trapped in guilt and fear. They unpack the profound truth from A Course in Miracles that we have one remaining choice: the power to choose the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the world.Listeners are invited to examine their assumptions, let go of the past, and surrender personal opinions to the Holy Spirit. By choosing the Holy Spirit's purpose of forgiveness, we can escape the exhausting ticker tape of the ego and open up to a consistent awareness of our true innocence.  Tune in as David and Kirsten discuss the practical application of mind training, the importance of holy relationships, and how to gently navigate the ego's fear of the light as you approach the joyous, timeless reality of the Holy Instant. These gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for The Way for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Saturday, July 31, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

LESSON 216Review of Lesson 196I amnot a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.(196) It can be but myself I crucify.All that I do I do unto myself.If I attack, I suffer.But if I forgive, salvation will be given me.I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Welcome to a deeply moving Saturday Movie Session from "The Way" online retreat.Guided by Peter Kirk, this episode dives into the weekend's powerful core theme: "Transcending Time Through Communication," with a special focus on the profound truth that "Love is beyond time".  Using a brilliant sci-fi cinematic story about a linguist tasked with learning a non-linear language, Peter illustrates how the mind can break free from the ego's rigid, limited timeline of past, present, and future. He explores the teachings of A Course in Miracles to show how true forgiveness acts as the ultimate form of open communication—inviting us to drop our defenses, let go of past learning, and bring our hidden fears into the gentle light of the Holy Spirit.  Tune in to discover how stepping away from linear thinking opens up a radically new, expansive perception of reality.

Welcome to our Sunday Worship Service recorded on August 1, 2026.In this intimate gathering, we sink deeper into our third week exploring the theme of timelessness, drawing inspiration from the sub-theme of the weekend "Times End - The Power of Interpretation".Moving away from a traditional presenter setup, the community sits together in a physical circle to reflect a true "audience of one" and merge deeply into the experience of shared oneness.  This heartfelt session focuses on releasing our grip on linear time to remember that God simply wants us to be happy in the present moment. Together, we discuss the ego's tendency to grasp at the past—such as the urge to distract ourselves on social media immediately following deep spiritual experiences—and how we can return to stillness by truly listening to God.To help us rest in this divine presence, we provide lyrics and join together in singing the powerful chant "I Place the Future in the Hands of God," followed later by the moving song "I Love Your Presence," cultivating the deep desire to realize there is nowhere else we would rather be.  Listen to all our Sunday Worship Episodes:https://livingchurchministries.org/media/series/c954zqh/lcm-worship-servicesFollow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

One ordinary morning, Leon Joel Russell opened A Course in Miracles and hit a single paragraph that stopped him cold for six days. This week Jennifer Hadley sits down with her fellow ACIM teacher to follow where that paragraph led them, into a question most of us spend a lifetime avoiding: what are we actually afraid of, underneath all of it? Where they take it is lighter than the question sounds. Two friends who love the truth, going somewhere worth following.

LESSON 213Review of Lesson 193I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.(193) All things are lessons God would have me learn.A lesson is a miracle which God offers to me,in place of thoughts I made that hurt me.What I learn of Him becomes the way I am set free.And so I choose to learn His lessons and forget my own.I am not a body.

Welcome to the concluding episode from the New Revelations Festival at the Awakening Mind Retreat Center in Utah. In this Closing Session, David Hoffmeister and Kirsten Buxton dive deep into the transformative practice of true empathy and holy relationship.Drawing from non-dual teachings, David and Kirsten explore how traditional, "special" relationships are often rooted in the ego's agenda, interpersonal guilt, and a deep attachment to physical form and expectations. They discuss how shifting our relationship's purpose toward healing allows the Spirit to relate through us, lifting the veil of past misperceptions to reveal the eternal innocence of the Christ within. This episode unpacks the radical idea that love is purely content, not form, and that true joy and true empathy come from dropping our personal agendas.The conversation also highlights the practical application of "undoing the doer"—the practice of stepping out of constant busyness, taking mental pauses, and letting divine inspiration orchestrate our actions. Listeners will hear a moving, intimate testimonial from a participant. He shares how being in holy relationship has helped him slow down his busy mindset, and how he is learning to view health challenges not as physical facts, but as an invitation to heal the mind.Stay connected with our Awakening Mind Community & events:https://www.instagram.com/awakeningmind1/https://awakening-mind.org/If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsRecorded live at the Awakening Mind Retreat Center in Utah on the morning of July 26, 2026. Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

LESSON 211Review of Lesson 191I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.(191) I am the holy Son of God Himself.In silence and in true humility I seek God's glory,to behold it in the Son whom He created as my Self.I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Recorded live during the third session of the New Revelations Festival, David Hoffmeister guides listeners through a profound cinematic exploration of early American history and spiritual revolution. Set against the backdrop of the struggling 13 colonies and the drafting of the Constitution, this session explores the contrast between earthly intellect and divine devotion.Through the story of a young man named George who abandons his theatrical aspirations to become an unwavering mouthpiece for the Holy Spirit, and his interactions with the highly intellectual Benjamin Franklin, David unpacks the limitations of human ingenuity. He explains how the world we perceive is ultimately a projected illusion born from a belief in separation, and that true freedom cannot be found through the body's achievements or by battling the ego.Instead, this episode invites listeners to look beyond the distraction of worldly goals and ask one simple, transformative question: "Who is my Source?". Tune in to discover why the ultimate prison is only in the mind, and how a genuine change of heart opens the door to lasting peace and perfect love.Stay connected with our Awakening Mind Community & events:https://www.instagram.com/awakeningmind1/https://awakening-mind.org/ If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsRecorded live at the Awakening Mind Retreat Center in Utah on the evening of July 25, 2026. Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

Recorded live during the second session of the New Revelations Festival, this Wisdom Talk by David Hoffmeister invites listeners into a profound exploration of spiritual awakening. David explores how our minds are often split by the ego's illusions, leading us to seek lasting happiness in the temporary forms and relationships of the physical world. He explains that true, consistent joy can only be discovered by turning inward and accessing our "source code"—the practice of deep forgiveness, which reminds us that this world is a projection and our true identity is spiritual. By unplugging from our false human identities, grievances, and defense mechanisms, we can experience the Kingdom of Heaven that already exists within us.The conversation also delves into the liberating practice of "undoing the doer". Rather than fighting the ego or trying to personally manage our own salvation, David suggests handing over the strings of our lives to the Spirit, allowing divine intuition to guide our actions. The episode concludes by setting the stage for the festival's evening cinema gathering, teasing an inspiring historical story of a man from the 1700s who fully surrendered to his inner calling and became a bright reflection of divine love.Stay connected with our Awakening Mind Community & events:https://www.instagram.com/awakeningmind1/https://awakening-mind.org/ If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsRecorded live at the Awakening Mind Retreat Center in Utah on the morning of July 25, 2026. Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

LESSON 210Review of Lesson 190I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.(190) I choose the joy of God instead of pain.Pain is my own idea.It is not a Thought of God,but one I thought apart from Him and from His Will.His Will is joy, and only joy for His beloved Son.And that I choose, instead of what I made.I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

What if the person who irritates you most is holding the light you've been looking for? Jennifer Hadley picks up where she left off in Chapter 13 of A Course in Miracles, where ACIM makes a claim that sounds backwards until it doesn't: we find our own light only through the people we give it to. She's candid about the years she believed certain people deserved to be punished, and that she believed she was the one to do it, and about a thirty-hour journey home from Asheville that tested every word of what she teaches. There's only one requirement for any of it, and it isn't effort. To learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠A Course in Miracles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Powerofloveministry.net⁠⁠⁠⁠.

What is revelation, and what is its place in a course in miracles? In this talk from a recent Sunday Gathering, Robert addresses the relationship between revelation—the experience of oneness with God—and miracles—interpersonal expressions of love. He discusses Helen and Bill's very different relationships with revelation. And he answers the crucial question: why is this a course in miracles rather than a course in revelation? ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

LESSON 208Review of Lesson 188I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.(188) The peace of God is shining in me now.I will be still, and let the earth be still along with me.And in that stillness we will find the peace of God.It is within my heart, which witnesses to God Himself.I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 207Review of Lesson 187I am not a body.

Recorded live at a morning gathering for volunteers at the Living Miracles Monastery in Utah, this episode dives deep into the mind's ultimate spiritual exit strategy. Today, we explore the concept of the "Escape Hatch"—the active and operational doorway out of the artificial simulation created by the ego.  Through the lens of classic sci-fi television and profound cinematic metaphors, we unpack how the world we perceive is merely a projection of fear, guilt, and a deep-seated belief in our separation from God. The ego masterfully designs this matrix with attractive distractions and a complex hierarchy of needs to keep our minds asleep and heavily identified with the physical body. However, the power to awaken and choose a different purpose remains entirely within us.  Drawing on the non-dual teachings of A Course in Miracles, this conversation highlights that attempting to master our fears by changing our external environment or healing the physical body will never truly work. True healing is strictly a matter of the mind. It demands a complete surrender of our false personal identities.Tune in to discover how dropping our worldly defenses and becoming fully dependent on God leads to effortless joy, true empathy, and lasting peace.  If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recorded live at Living Miracles Monastery in Utah on the morning of July 8, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

LESSON 205Review of Lesson 185I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.(185) I want the peace of God.The peace of God is everything I want.The peace of God is my one goal;the aim of all my living here, the end I seek,my purpose and my function and my life,while I abide where I am not at home.I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this profound movie gathering, we dive deep into the illusions of linear time, the ego, and our deeply held worldviews. Through the spiritual lens of two very different on-screen stories—the journey of Clavius, a Roman military tribune searching for the body of Jesus, and a mind-bending exploration of Star Trek —we unpack what it means to truly question our reality.This episode explores how the concept of time acts as a veil over the divine reality of Oneness. Join us as we discuss how letting go of our personal perspectives and leaning on a higher spiritual guidance can lead us from a state of inner conflict and rage to a place of perfect peace.Discover why true spiritual awakening requires us to completely dismantle our ingrained beliefs and admit that we don't have the whole picture. Explore how the past and future are constructs used by the ego to maintain separation, breed conflict, and hide the eternal reality of Oneness. Learn why we must let go of our personal judgments, grievances, and the desire to control, allowing true divine guidance to show us the way.Tune in for a deep dive into cinema, A Course in Miracles, and the ultimate escape from the ego's matrix!If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recorded live at Living Miracles Monastery in Utah on the evening of July 7, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

Welcome to a profound exploration of the mind with David Hoffmeister. In this transformative session, originally recorded on July 18, 2026, David takes listeners on a deep dive designed to dislodge the sleeping mind from the illusion of linear time and the dream of duality.  Drawing on the deep teachings of A Course in Miracles, this episode explores how our perception of the past, present, and future is merely a construct of the ego. Through the lens of a mind-bending cinematic story where timelines fracture and reality is called into question, David illustrates that the world of time and space is a fantasy designed to obscure our true eternal nature. Listeners are guided to confront deep ontological questions, unpack the metaphysical relationship between cause and effect, and embrace the ultimate healing power of true forgiveness.  Tune in to discover how to escape the hypnotic mesmerism of the world, surrender the painful defense mechanisms of the ego, and awaken to the joyous reality that you are pure Spirit—completely innocent, perfect, and eternally free.  "The Way" gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for "The Way" for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Saturday, July 18, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem
