Living Miracles Weekly Online Movie Gathering commentary by David Hoffmeister to the movie "LUCY" Who you are is from before time was. Time is a concept made to measure and therefore “give reality” to man’s existence within an illusion. Matter is held together by thought and the belief in (and the need for) a bodily identity. The mind cannot die. The mind is eternal and is beyond the realm of time and space. When awareness of self has expanded beyond a limited bodily identity, time and space are...

日本語通訳付き、映画「帰り道」オンラインリトリート2日目 with デイヴィッド・ホフマイスター & フランシス・シュー ただ単にコースを勉強することから、このカリキュラムを勉強しながら実際にそれを体験するにはどうすればいいのでしょうか？ フランシスを導いていたインスピレーションとの繋がりを保つために、この世界が期待する映画「帰り道」の結果を全て手放さなければならなかったことを、彼女が説明します。フランシスは、スピリットが初めからすべてを計画していることを信頼しなければなりませんでした。そして聖霊からの促し（プロンプト）に従うことで、彼女は何事においても、自分で付け足したり引いたりする必要がなかったのです。その過程の中で、彼女は彼女自身の中に今まで知らなかった何かを発見するのです。 2日目のセッションは、映画「帰り道」に繋がっています。この映画はこちらのリンクからご購入いただけます。 https://takemehomemovie.net/film/ ________________________ 2nd Session'Take Me Home' Online Retrea...

Living Miracles Weekly Online Movie Gathering with commentary by David Hoffmeister "It Could Happen to You" got chosen for this week's online movie gathering and Davids commentary circled around 'Giving and Getting'. Giving is from the Holy Spirit, getting is from the ego. Giving leads to love, getting leads to isolation and unhappiness. So simple can this movie's commentary be summarized. Love prevails over fear, deception, and greed, for the light shines bright in a heart made ready by giving....

But first David reads a little piece from A Course in Miracles (Chapter 29 – IX.

Beyond the Body online weekend retreat - 2nd movie session with David Hoffmeister The journey back to the dream we dream in secret and the waking up from that dream is done through forgiveness. David reads this part of ACIM about forgiveness and asks us to have this in mind throughout the session: 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 you...

Living Miracles Weekly Online Movie Gathering with commentary by David Hoffmeister The pick of the movie this week came through the themes of "Fear of full transparency" and "Belief in wrongness" which are the core themes for undoing the self-concept. But the decision to watch the movie "Liar Liar" was also a matter of having a comedy relief. The self-concept is a lie. It is not who you are. You were never meant to play a role in this world. Eventually, everyone must lay down the mask, give up t...

Living Miracles Weekly Online Movie Gathering with commentary by David Hoffmeister Have you had enough of the game yet? You entered it voluntarily, although you are not sure when it began. The game seems to use everything you believe in; it reflects your desires and your fears. It plays on memories from the past. To fight against it or seek revenge will only feed the game and tighten its grip on your mind. The more you hold onto a self-image, the less likely you will be to see the game unmasked ...

Living Miracles Weekly Online Movie Gathering with commentary by David Hoffmeister The main theme for this week's movie is "Holding back on communication" and the reason communication is important is that in this world you need to teach what you would learn and it's really about our thoughts. We are teaching and learning every moment of every day with our thoughts and we are holding back on communication because it feels weakening on the ego's self-image exposing all these thoughts that are maki...

‘Guidance’ online retreat closing session with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu. Svava Love starts this session by singing an old song of hers called "Free Spirit". ‘‘If you just stop and still your mind you can hear this serenading voice that is singing to us, it's calling to us... we’re basking in it... and it really wants us to turn away from the perceptual world to say do not keep looking in the darkened glass for who I am. You will never find Spirit among the images. But if you can forgive ...

Svava Love opens this session with her song called 'Miracles' and its a song about guidance. After Svava's song, David begins the session talking about how ‘his own parable (the parable of David) has never been just about him, it’s always been for the shared Mind, for the whole. As ACIM workbook lesson 137 states, ‘When I am healed I am not healed alone’... ‘As you learn to listen to the Holy Spirit and follow his guidance you will not just be healing your own Mind, but all of the Sonship’.

Welcome to Living Miracles Weekly Online Movie Gathering with commentary by David Hoffmeister When the separation from God or fall from Grace seemed to occur, the Holy Spirit was given as the immediate answer to the separation. In response to the Holy Spirits Atonement card, the ego responded with the special relationship card. It had to come up with a real attractive illusion for the mind to be so consumed by it that it would forget the Atonement. In this world of time and space, the special lo...

Welcome to the "Open-Mindedness" Retreat and the Closing Session with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu. From the ego, we learn that judgment and outcomes in the world are important. Jesus tells us that what we have been handed over from kindergarten and up is a curriculum of judgment and that we need is to un-learn that kind of judgment. He said in the bible, Judge not! But it was not really emphasized in our culture, not even in the church, instead, outcomes in the sense of good grades or somet...

This week's online movie gathering was about the movie "Before I Fall" with commentary from David Hoffmeister What if today was the only day of the rest of your life, what would you change? What if today was the only time there is? Watching movies is a way of stepping back and remembering that what we see on the screen is not real. Life itself is a big projection. There is a method to watch movies in an enlightened way that leads to observing the events and scenes and scripts of the world—with f...

But a person can't be enlighten...
