https://davidhoffmeister.com/ David begins this talk by answering a very deep question about the metaphors in A Course in Miracles regarding time. Ultimately, if the separation from God never occurred, then the Holy Instant is not something we should need to wait for; it is Now. Yet Jesus offers us other metaphors in his Course that are like rungs on a ladder we can more easily grasp, depending on where we seem to be on the spiritual awakening journey. Enjoy this very deep audio from the Part 2 ...

https://davidhoffmeister.com/ Spiritual awakening should be thought of as 1% principle and 99% practice. Yet this is not to minimize the 1% principle. Being clear on the metaphysics of A Course in Miracles is very important, and will help to make your practice more effective in applying the metaphysical principles to whatever arises. During this first half of an Unwind Your Mind workshop led by David, many deep metaphysical questions were asked and answered, such as: - I find it hard to meditate...

http://nondualteacher.com/ The parable of David has simply been a witness or demonstration that you CAN have a happy life. That you can laugh at the world by seeing that it’s not real, and there’s nothing to get serious about. As a friend of David’s says, “Seriousness causes reincarnation!” We have to remember to laugh, relax, and let go of trying to be in charge of our own awakening. It can be easy to get caught into a preoccupation with the question, “What should I do”, but we must remember th...

The more you give yourself over to the joy of the Spirit, the more you see that your Plan Bs avail you nothing. The world’s mantra that we need to plan for the future and be prepared for all situations is not our real concern. Our real fear is present joining. As we give up our little plans and align our mind with the Spirit’s plan, we experience life as a joyful, spectacular unfolding.

https://acim.me/ A vibrant, deep, metaphysical gathering with David at Unity of East Louisville. Among other topics, David speaks on oneness, thought, the experience of contentment and the belief in the ego, which includes the concept of manifesting. This gathering begins with music—two live songs by Ricki Comeaux, followed by one from Kirsten Buxton, author of "I Married a Mystic". David begins his talk after that (about 20 minutes into this audio). He shares about his 'convergence moment', and...

https://mwge.org/ This movie (Déjà Vu), directed by Henry Jaglom, is a classic for undoing the ego. It contrasts special relationships in this world with those given over to a Higher Purpose, illustrating the way both the ego and the Spirit seem to work in our lives. The two main characters are brought together by Destiny/Spirit in a powerful vibrational relationship that calls into question everything else in their life. Each of them is already married or engaged to be married, and yet the Sp...

http://mwge.org In this movie, the main character "Woo-jin" wakes up every morning in a completely different physical body. Some days he is a man, and some days he is a woman or a child. One day he falls in love with a woman named "Yi-soo". He doesn't know how to handle it because one day he is an elderly woman, one day he is a child, and every day is different. The only way the relationship could work is if Woo-jin and Yi-soo look past the form and experience real love. They must find the beaut...

http://mwge.org “Before I Fall” is a movie with similarities to the movie “Groundhog Day”. The main character, Sam, is experiencing the same day over and over again, and struggles with how to escape from the loop. Like Bill Murray’s character in “Groundhog Day”, she goes through an evolution in how she chooses to use the day, until she finally realizes she must use it to be fully in service to all. Only then does she find freedom and joy. To listen to this movie commentary by David in conjunctio...

http://mwge.org The Shack is a beautiful movie which demonstrates how the Spirit will use whatever symbols we believe in to reach us and help us heal. In the movie, the main character “Mack” has lost his daughter and is dealing with intense guilt and anger. Through a profound spiritual experience, he is able to forgive and find peace once again. Along the way he realizes that God has nothing to do with events that seem to occur in the world because God dwells not in time and space. And that in o...

http://mwge.org David showed the “Nosedive” episode from the Black Mirror TV series in which a woman is desperate to boost her personal social media score. This is an extreme depiction of a future society based on reciprocity, personal gain, and people pleasing. It can actually be seen as comical from our perspective. In contrast, knowing yourself provides a solid basis for true happiness. David also describes a man’s behavior at the Mystery School, and how he was able to move though old anger p...

http://mwge.org Tron is a classic movie about the authority problem: the idea that you can author yourself instead of accepting that you are perfect as God created you. Kevin Flynn is a video game developer who believes he created a digital world and is now trapped in it. Fast forward twenty years, and we see Kevin's son, Sam, looking for his father in the digital world which has degenerated into competition, hatred, and death. Like Kevin, we seemed to have projected the original thought of sepa...

http://mwge.org When your mind shifts into the miracle, the only temptations will be doubt thoughts in the mind that are doubting the transformation. In human perspective on the timeline, it seems like it is the people around us that are the doubters. In the movie "Fearless", the main character experiences a dramatic shift in consciousness after he survives an airplane crash. When he returns to his life he sees that he cannot relate to his past identity, and old relationships start falling away ...

One who is there to free you from the ego, to return you to the Kingdom of Heaven. And knowing that every time you have ever had an irritation, an annoyance, or a rage, that the world is just a backdrop for you to let that up and let it go. This movie is exactly that; a perfect showcase of how "all things work togeth...

Accepting this is not only a time saver but your ticket to true freedom and peace of mind. Other topics include inspiring accounts of the lives of mystics such as Ghandi, William Whitson, and Living Miracles’ minister Frances Xu.

When you accept your calling, the Holy Spirit will give you new tasks to expand and train your mind in a loving direction. The futuristic world portrayed in this movie "The Giver" is based on repression of memory and emotion, and hence it is tightly controlled by rules and protectionism. When the main character, Jonas, becomes 18 he is given an expanded role with access, through his mentor, to memories and emotions that the rest of the population do not have, with the idea that he will be able t...

In the Psychotherapy pamphlet supplement to “A Course in Miracles”, Jesus teaches that belief in God is unnecessary, for “God can be but known.” (P-2.II.4.4). In this talk given on Day 2 of the Going Deeper retreat, David Hoffmeister expounds on this idea and how we must not be concerned about what we or others belief. He emphasizes how spirituality must be practical, and is always about true forgiveness and joining. Other topics covered in this session were the meaning of “world peace”, and the...

"Passengers" is one of these rare deep metaphysical movies! It's beautiful because it allows for the development of the relationship. In some ways it parallels with the movie "Solaris" as it is a space movie and it's a movie where you see the relationship and all the thoughts right up front because there is not much else going on. And that's the best way to view it is to have no distractions to be able to see it straight on. Over all "Passengers" is a love story but the kind of love story that t...

To teach is to demonstrate! It's ok to spread the teachings but the way you really spread the teachings is through demonstration. You can't really teach something unless you can demonstrate it. This is why it's all about the miracle. It's all about transformation of mind. It's about transcending all beliefs including beliefs about theologies and pathways and stepping into the experience. Recorded March 14, 2017, at La Casa de Milagros in Chapala, Mexico.

All the emotions are being generated by clinging to a false self, by trying to protect a false identity. The way out is to pay close attention and notice when the contraction would come up. This way you can start seeing things in a helpful perspective. And you will see that every emotion relates to an identity attachment. This is a journey of emptying the mind for it requires questioning every value that you hold. Not one can be kept hidden or it will obscure your learning. Practicing this will ...

http://mwge.org In order to accept the Atonement and really forgive, you first have to come to one simple recognition - that this world is a perceptual problem. There is no "right" and "wrong" in this world. All human beings act out what they believe in the mind. And all beliefs are false, every one of them. There is no point in defending or valuing beliefs because they are all equally unreal. Only the truth is true, and Truth is beyond belief. This recording is a post-movie talk by David Hoffme...

Pain comes from the belief in separation from our Source. Letting go of this belief and releasing the guilt and fear in our mind is synonymous with the end of pain. Jesus tells us in ACIM that your mind is so confused, you cannot even tell the difference between pain and joy. If you could, you would never experience pain again.

True happiness only comes from listening and following the Holy Spirit and letting go of all control and the personal self.
