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, but you know, Jesus tells us that the secret of salvation is that you are doing this to yourself. So, on the one hand, we don't have anyone to blame, and on the other hand, we can accept the correction, release the ego, and be happy. It's that simple. Now, it may seem difficult in practice, but I assure you that it's much more challenging to maintain the ego and try to live according to the ego's belief system than to let it go. 

A Course of Miracles teaches us how to trust in God and follow the guidance practically. It's teaching us how to let go of the ego, let go of attachments, let go of judgments, not because we're trying to be special, good, or right, but just because judgment is something God did not create. So we're giving ourselves a whammy. An opinion and judgment whammy, because when we try to judge, when we have opinions, we're trying to hold on to something that God didn't create and doesn't even know about. And that's not going to work if you want to be happy. 

Enjoy David's commentary.

You can watch the introduction to the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/mqMwE43F8_k.

Opening Session - Place the Future in the Hands of God Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu

When you put your future in the hands of God and begin to live by inner guidance in the present moment, it can feel quite foolish at the beginning because our past conditioning is hammering harshly away at us. "What do you think you are? This is ridiculous, and you're throwing your whole life away for God, the great question mark the ego says. 

The ego won't even admit that there is a God, and if it has to admit that there is a God, it's a punishing God. It throws a fake God in there. So it's pretty interesting now we're going into this Place the Future in the Hands of God Retreat, that we need each other to reflect miracles. We're mighty companions to one another. We're witnesses to one another's miracles and how God is helping us. 

The Holy Spirit's presence is a burning, intense calling to wake us up, and we only have to join our little willingness to this burning, intense calling to wake up, and that will ignite the whole thing; that's what's sends the whole thing off into an actual experience.

Enjoy David and Frances extending their love and presence to everyone, primarily the participant, who engage with them.

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 all illusions, burns away the idols, burns away the false perceptions that veiled your beautiful light from our awareness and the awareness of the happy nudges from spirit. We all get those happy nudges, you know, those little inner promptings telling us, here you go, this is for you. Follow this, and you'll be happy.

Deepen your core desire for God as David Hoffmeister uses powerful ACIM teachings and the movie "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" to help you do so!

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 choose the freedom of the body the mind will have to serve to find how to get freedom for the body and as Jesus describes it, in that process, the mind becomes extremely mad. The only true service is to use the body to serve the freedom of the mind, which means that we place our future in the hands of God.

Closing Session - The Happy Dream Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu

You cannot wake yourself, but you can allow yourself to be awakened. That's a big one. You cannot wake yourself means the personality self doesn't have a contribution to make. The only contribution you have to make is your willingness in your mind. When you're willing to heal false and distorted perceptions and join with the might and the glory of the Holy Spirit's great willingness, or we could say, it's the capability for healing, which is its function in healing. When your little willingness joins with that capability for healing, healing is ignited. The problems come in when the personality self tries to take responsibility for itself as a body as a person through its own learning.

Enjoy David and Frances talk about the happy dream and engaging the participants on their favorite topic, consistent happiness.

Closing Session - The Happy Dream Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu

Opening Session - 'This Holy Instant' Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu

There's no learning in heaven. God created you perfect. The spirit doesn't learn. So when we think about the Holy Instant, the Holy Instant is not learned. So we're entering into a whole different realm than human beings have ever known because all humans have ever known is the past repeating itself day after day. The ego has programmed us, and you may believe you have free will in this world, but that's all a projection from the unconscious mind. So if you sometimes feel like a robot, like you're just doing the same things repeatedly, it's because the ego invented time and space.

You see, we are brought up with a curriculum in judgment. If you go to school, you're learning a curriculum in judgment; even before you go to school, your parents and your siblings teach you a curriculum in judgment. Don't do this. Treat people this way. You know, it's full of judgments, and then we reach a point where we would rather pray, listen and follow the Spirit than judge, react and respond to the ego. Do you see the difference between those two modalities in the mind? That's what we're going for today.

Fake Love Ft B.M.E MEL

Divine Essence has 14 beautiful and heavenly songs, that can bring you into a deep meditation; to the remembrance of Who you truly are. The album is inspired by A Course in Miracles. 

Divine Essence is Svava’s first album that she was guided to make in 2019.
In a meditation, Spirit gave her the title Divine Essence and she was shown the image of the album cover.

Svava is a mystic who has devoted her life to Awakening. In 2016, after searching for the truth for many years, Svava desperately went down on her knees, to pray to God for help. At this time she began studying A Course in Miracles. Through listening to inner guidance, surrendering to a bigger plan, and letting go of everything in her life, Svava began hearing songs within her mind. Not having any specific musical skills or education, she found herself “downloading” beautiful, divine songs, complete with lyrics and harmonies. 

During the last three years Svava has received over 100 songs, but as she says: “I have never tried to write a song, I just hear them in my mind, they come during the day, or I dream the songs at night. I am not a trained singer-songwriter, nor a composer. I live my life purely on prayer and listening and following Spirit”.

With deep love and gratitude to David Hoffmeister and The Living Miracles Community.

Eternal Love,
Svava

Awake In You

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 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.

This "Beyond the Body" online weekend retreat session with David Hoffmeister was recorded in the afternoon of August 8, 2020, at the Quantico studio in Ajijic, Mexico.

"Beyond the Body" Online Weekend Retreat:  Movie Session 2/2 "Mr. Nobody" with David Hoffmeister

Beyond the Body online weekend retreat - Closing Session with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu

David and Frances close the Beyond the Body Online Retreat by answer questions from the participants. But first David reads a little piece from A Course in Miracles (Chapter 29 – IX. The Forgiving Dream):

"You do but dream, and idols are the toys you dream you play with. 5 Who has need of toys but children? 6 They pretend they rule the world, and give their toys the power to move about, and talk and think and feel and speak for them. 7 Yet everything their toys appear to do is in the minds of those who play with them. 8 But they are eager to forget that they made up the dream in which their toys are real, nor recognize their wishes are their own."

This "Beyond the Body" online weekend retreat session with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu was recorded on the morning of August 9, 2020, at the Quantico studio in Ajijic, Mexico.
