Movie 'No Men Beyond This Point' - Putting The Peace of God First with David Hoffmeister In this Movie Workshop, David talks about putting the peace of God first and how to see the sameness of all hypotheticals and the nothingness of outcomes in form. A hypothetical is simply something occurring as if it's real or as if it's happening. It could be described as anything that seems real but actually is not occurring. It's a perceptual hallucination. And looking at the Course, Jesus teaches us that...

Closing Session - "Place the Future in the Hands of God" Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu You know, no matter what, we can't even judge what is good and what's bad because all our judgments are based on perception. That is such a profound, universal lesson, which says. No, only in God, can we find true peace. When Jesus says, "What do you want freedom of the body or freedom of the mind for both you cannot have and whichever you choose, the other will have to serve." So if we ...

Movie 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye' - Deepen My Core Desire for God Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister Deepening my core desire and calling for God is very precious because when your heart gets focused on God, on waking up to God, on forgiving all things that block the remembrance of God's love, you end up with a feeling of being uplifted, a feeling of enormous gratitude and of being blessed. A sense of being closer to God. Having the flame of your desire for God burning in your heart burns away a...

Star Trek - Voyager Episodes - 'Waking Dreams' and 'The Thaw' - Seeing I'm the Dreamer of the Dream with David Hoffmeister Today we're going beyond where no man has ever gone before because Jesus says when you are going towards the dreamer of the dream position, then we're not talking about a man or a woman. We're not traveling through time and space, looking through the galaxies for meaning. We're going beyond the wormholes, beyond the black holes. We're going beyond the celestial realms of tim...

The movie "A Time for Heaven" Recognizing It's Always My Own Lesson by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop 'Recognizing it's always my own lesson' won the poll this week, and it's not referring to our personality but the simplicity of salvation. Nor is it about enough people getting the lessons or having the 100th monkey or some threshold where enough of the collective consciousness gets the lesson. No, it's the lesson of our minds. When we awaken, everyone wakes up. It's not someth...

Movie "Just Like Heaven" Committing to Perfect Happiness by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop This week, the theme that got the most votes in the weekly poll was, 'We're committing to God's will, which is perfect happiness.' When people think about God's Will, most of us were raised hearing many things about what God's will is. Most of them relate to specific things in the world. But nobody seems to be able to agree on what God's will is. I've even heard some people say it's God's...

Jesus is like, well, the hero of the dream is the body, and you need to forgive the body, and you need to forgive tha...

Opening Session - "Abundance in Miracles" Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu We all have our connotations whatever our past learning has taught us about abundance, but there was something fresh and new in that word when it was presenting itself in the Course in Miracles. It was saying come and get to know Me. Know Me as fulfillment, know Me as contentment, know Me as joy, know Me as peace, know Me as rest. When you're abundant, you have an awareness that you have ev...

Movie "Mary Magdalene" Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop We have an opportunity today with this movie because it cuts through all the ego's objections. It gives us a glimpse into all the aspects of resistance that we've had towards surrendering our will to God and God's will for perfect happiness. It shows us parts of the ego that we've guarded and protected and tried to keep, even though it brought us misery and suffering and sadness and hurt. It sounds ridiculous, ...

Closing Session - Holy Relationship - Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu - February 2022 When we think of Holy Relationships, the core of it is the Holy Instant and the Holy Relationship is the expression of the Holy Instant in living in this world.

You have to be the giver of the Holy Instant in order to be aware of it, otherwise, it won't stay in ...

Movie "The Giver" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Movie Workshop from the "Holy Relationship" online retreat Projection is the attempt to get rid of something you don't want by seeing it somewhere else. So it's seeing the anger, envy, and jealousy in the world of form as if people are angry and envious and jealous. BUT, it's a big trick to see in the world what you don't want to face in your mind. It's quite an ingenious trick. And yet this world is the result of projection. Projection doesn...

Movie "Violet" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop. Many have very dark experiences in childhood and during their teen years and early adulthood, where they have a lot of reflections and witnesses of guilt and shame, of blame, of criticism, and of all kinds of judgments. And for those of us who have come through that route, we know how stressful, fear, and guilt-ridden it can seem when that self-critical voice, that's just doubting you all the time, speaks to you.

Movie "Bruce Almighty"- Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop I was thinking back through my 35 years of working with the course identifying which prayers have I prayed in my heart the most? And the first one, I think, is one you might relate to. It's called "Help." The simpler, the better, and the Holy Spirit is aware of that prayer for help. I think the second one, right behind "Help," is "make it obvious." That's my second favorite. Considering we're in this fog of fo...

The movie "Chances Are" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop Jesus knows that the mind that believes in separation is freakin scared of light. So scared of God that there had to be a plan that would be a more gentle awakening. He's not going to hurl anyone into the light. Instead, we gradually embrace the light. We gradually open to the light as the darkness fades, and we sort of fade back into heaven. Isn't that nice? Don't you like that the Holy Spirit is gentle? Ev...

Closing Session - Vision of the New World - Tabula Rasa January 2022 Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu We need to be taught innocence as little children because we are brought up with the ego's way of adding meaning to and sorting out the reasons and purposes of the world. It wants us to take sides of what is good and what is bad, and it wants us to keep asking ourselves to make decisions in the world based on who the ego tells us to be. This is where all the chaos comes from....

Movie 'Eagle Eye' Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Online Movie Workshop Jesus gave us a movie today where he's giving us the nuts and bolts of how to have peace of mind. It's called listen and follow. Everyone who comes to planet earth and to time and space believes that they can have an autonomous personal will apart from Gods, but what does that mean? It means that it can have an experience other than perfect supreme happiness, other than total bliss, eternal life, and eternal bliss. So that...

He's not talking about the Vision that the ego has associated with the body and its Vision for a better world. What he means by Vision is always in the present mo...

But what Jesus is asking us to do here on Christmas Day is, he wants us to recognize that we have a perceptual problem. Like in the 12 step program, I have to admit that I have a human perception addiction and that it is blocking the light for who I really am because God created me as pure spirit. I've mis...

So in eternity, we are determined that we want God, and that is never going to change. But the problem is that because we're confused, we want the opposite as well. That's where the mind is split. That's where the experience is divided, and that's why there are miracles and even joy, but also so many other emotions that come from the desi...
