Strengthen My Inner Connection with the Spirit - Online Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister Pretty early on in the beginning of the second chapter of A Course in Miracles, Jesus offers a prayer; 'I am here only to be truly helpful. I'm here to represent Him who sent Me. I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, he who sent me will direct me, and I'm content to be wherever he wishes, knowing he goes there with me. I will heal as I let him teach me to heal.' So whenever Jesus puts ...

Accept the Gentle Unfolding of God's Plan - Online Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister Accept the gentle unfolding of God's plan. For most of us, when we're going through trials, challenges, and tribulations, we doubt there is a plan. We seriously doubt it. We think this is madness. The world is madness. My life is madness, and there's no way out. It seems like we're stuck in hell. And so when we have emotional difficulties, we feel, if there is a plan, I don't know what it is. And if there is...

Closing Session - The Light Has Come Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu The Kingdom of Heaven is a spiritual Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Heaven is a state of mind. It's a beatitude. It's a presence of mind that is entirely independent of the body. And so when you ask if healing involves bodily activity. I would say it consists of the purpose or the use of the body, but not the body's activities. If everything's an illusion, which it is, and the body is an illusion, it can't mea...

Movie Workshop - The Light Has Come Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister The theme of The Light Has Come is profound because it teaches us who we are. It's the answer to everything as being a divine creation of God. It's the spirit. It's the Christ idea, the pure Christ idea, and that Christ idea is pure light. And so when we say the light has come, it means that right now, that light is fully available to us through a decision to forgive the world and accept our I Am Presence before time. It's...

Opening Session - 'The Light Has Come' Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu When we say the light has come, what we're doing today is opening to an actual state of mind already there. Or we could say it already here. It's not a future thing. The temptation is to believe that things would improve if the circumstances of my worldly life changed. It could be my body or my relationships, but that's just the temptation to defend against the light that has come. Nothing needs to change...

God didn't create gravity. God didn't create motion, black holes, stars, and gasses. God didn't even create what we would call light that travels through time and space at lightspeed. He didn't create anything changing. Wow. Everything in this cosmos is changing. I've even seen billboards that say the only constant ...

Have No Fear of Consequences - Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister Isn't that a great way to live? Live every moment of your life without any fear of consequences? Who wants to fear a bunch of hypothetical consequences that don't exist? Why would we live our life based on fear when we have everything we need and want? When we say, God, I want to live in happiness. I want to live in joy. I want to live in peace. That request is granted to us now, and the only thing that prevents us from experie...

Coming into true honesty - Being aligned with the source in what I think, say, and do. We want to live an honest life and feel we're lined up with our source because our source is love, happiness, joy, and peace. That's really in our hearts. That's what we're praying for. We want to have a happy, joyful life. And to stay aligned with the source, we must accept ourselves as God created us. The ego made the body; the ego made the personality and the perceptual world of time and space. It made the ...

Rising into Light with David Hoffmeister, Frances Xu and Lisa Fair live at La Casa de Milagros - Christian Mysticism Do you choose to join the crucifixion, or do you decide to join the resurrection? It's a question that Jesus poses directly to us today. Which one do you choose to join? The next question is, do you decide to stay imprisoned? Or do you prefer to ascend to your father like rising to the light? These two are the same question, and the answer is the same. Choose to believe in the res...

Always Remember What The Purpose Is - Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister The ego tries to use all differences to convince your mind, which is asleep, that it's different from all the other minds. The ego always emphasizes differences and the Holy Spirit always says, No, you're the perfect Christ. You're the perfect child of God. You always have been, and you always will be. You're created as perfect love. So there's nothing you can do to change that and the innocence that you are. You may dre...

We've all read many self-help books, and most of us probably have a whole library of self-help books, but actually, the Course is not about self-help. It's saying, the self that God created doesn't need any help. There's a little child in you, the Christ child, who wants to go home and needs to be quiet for a while. Now that's t...

Trust That All Is Taken Care Of - Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister - Movie 'Man of God' Trust that all is taken care of - no more need to plan and scheme. Your need for learning ends when you realize that all is taken care of because what we have learned from the ego has been fear. It's tricked us into believing that we're frail and weak and that we are at the mercy of time and space and all the laws of this world—the laws of economics and relationships. Imagine if you were carefree and did...

You Are Worthy of Perfect Love and Happiness - Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister I sometimes think of this world, the ego-projected world of time and space, to be like a cover or a cloak to fool the mind into different alternate identities and form a giant distractive device. A world made out of hatred to keep you mindless. And anyone going to go all the way with Christ, all the way to the awakening, has to quickly realize that mind training is required. Discipline is needed, and anybody who...

Stop the world, I want to get off now! They think if I just renounce it enough, it will disappear, but we really don't escape this world by renouncing it verbally.

The role of teachers seems to be different from the role of students. But if you go deep enough into what Jesus is teaching, he's saying; The teacher and the student are the same. They're always on the same level. So we're always teaching, and we're always learning. And what Jesus is trying to get us to realize is that we...

Movie 'The Most Reluctant Convert' - Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister This movie uses wit and humor, and it uses great thinkers and great poets. So many great thinkers were experts at rationality and logic who didn't realize that the rationality they were applying to this world was as if the world was real and as if the world had some meaning in it. But when you use rationality to meaninglessness, it goes nowhere. Some of us have tried. We've tried to be rational creatures in an insane worl...
