The Time Traveler's Wife, David Hoffmeister Movie Talk at Celebrating Inner Peace Fun-Raiser

"The Time Traveler's Wife" is a beautifully transcendent film about letting go of expectations and opening to a higher perspective. In this audio, David gives a pre-movie talk which lasts until 10 minutes and 26 seconds. At this point we recommend you watch the movie (which you can rent on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBofCCt6_Q8), then resume the audio to listen to David's after-movie commentary and questions from the audience.Below is the Holy Spirit write-up included in our online Movie Watchers Guide to Enlightenment. For more enlightening movie reviews, audios, and even full movies, subscribe at MWGE.org.The Time Traveler's WifeThe partnership in this movie is one in which expectations are constantly being undone. To the ego it is jolting when a partner keeps disappearing and in this movie it can happen at any time. Any sense of desiring a normal (special) relationship leads to disappointment and the only way to look upon it all is from the perspective of opening up to a love that transcends time, space and bodies entirely. Time is simultaneous. The main character is moving through time and experiences different parts of his life in the dream and his Holy Relationship. His wife has to learn to forgive and not to have any expectations whatsoever for spending time with her husband. There are no exceptions to the forgiveness. Wedding days are no more special than other days and at the end it needs to be seen that you are always joined with Spirit, beyond the form and appearances of bodies.-----This audio was recorded July 15, 2017 at the Celebrating Inner Peace Fun-Raiser, held at the Living Miracles Monastery in Utah.Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

Time Metaphors in A Course in Miracles—David Hoffmeister, Unwind Your Mind Workshop in Denver, Part 2

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 of David’s “Unwind Your Mind” workshop in Denver, Colorado, June 18th, 2017.To learn more about David, visit https://davidhoffmeister.com/ or https://davidhoffmeister.blogspot.com/Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

Unwind Your Mind Workshop in Denver, Part 1 — David Hoffmeister ACIM A Course in Miracles

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 yet feel I shouldn’t push too hard. Can you speak to that?- Is it true that there is no Will but God’s and does that mean that everything is going exactly the way He wants it?- Given the current state of affairs in the world, particularly in the U.S. with the Trump administration, how does one work with the Course in the context of the madness that’s going on?- But shouldn’t we still be active in helping to change the world?- If there is no world, how can the Holy Spirit have a plan for us (within a world that doesn’t exist)?Enjoy!This audio was recorded on June 18th, 2017 at the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center in Denver, Colorado.To learn more about David, visit https://davidhoffmeister.com/ or https://davidhoffmeister.blogspot.com/Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

Seriousness Causes Reincarnation!—Sunday Service in Denver, David Hoffmeister ACIM A Course in Miracles

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 that it’s really about a shift in mind. And the Spirit can reach us in SO MANY ways!This joy-filled Sunday Morning Service of David’s was recorded on June 18th, 2017 when he was the guest speaker at the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center in Denver, Colorado. It starts with David sharing many parables from his early years with A Course in Miracles, and ends with several questions such as:- What is the core message of A Course in Miracles?- When you were strengthening your connection with Jesus, what was your experience like in terms of not getting caught in too much "doing"?- After having been to many spiritual workshops, I've often heard others talking about all their great spiritual experiences. It makes me wonder what’s wrong with me that I’m not having those experiences too. Am I just too dense?- What is your experience of the Holy Instant?To learn more about David, visit http://nondualteacher.com/ or https://david.i-am-one.net/Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

Happy Dream Retreat - Give up your plan B

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.Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

Everything is Mind! - Talk at Unity of East Louisville, June 11, 2017, David Hoffmeister ACIM

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 gives beautiful, joyful answers to questions including: - How do we approach killing the ego? Is it to be destroyed? - How to look upon my father's dementia? He believes he is somewhere else!- What do I do with my life situation: I keep giving everything to those I am with - and I don't receive the same benefits.- What to do: My life situation is unmanageable!Enjoy!This talk was recorded at the Unity of East Louisville on June 11, 2017.

"Déjà Vu" Movie Talk, Relationships, Private Thoughts, People-Pleasing, David Hoffmeister A Course in Miracles

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 Spirit has another plan for them. While their current special relationships are based on economics, future goals, and maintaining the status quo, this new relationship assignment is based solely on healing, following one’s heart, and opening to True Love. Though resistance and fear may be high, the Spirit never gives up on us, and the experience of True Love is inevitable in the end!This Spreaker recording includes David’s pre-movie setup talk, the many points throughout the movie when he paused it to give commentary, and the after-movie discussion that ensued. It was recorded on June 6, 2017 with a group of students at the Living Miracles Metaphysical Center in Kamas, Utah. To enjoy this audio recording along with the movie, here is one way we suggest you do so:1. Rent or obtain the movie Déjà Vu directed by Henry Jaglom. You can often rent movies online through YouTube, Amazon, or other online movie services.2. Listen to the first 7 minutes and 18 seconds of this recording up until the point when David says, “It’s a classic!” Then pause this recording and watch the whole movie.3. After you’ve seen the movie, listen to this recording starting from where you left off at 7:18. You’ll then be able to hear all of David’s commentary throughout the movie as well as the after-movie commentary on it. This will surely give you a much broader perspective on the movie than you may have otherwise had!SECOND OPTION for STEP #3: Another suggestion once you've started the movie, would be to practice pausing it whenever you feel intuitively guided and then listening to some of this recording. Go back and forth between this recording and the movie, as intuitively guided, and enjoy the way Spirit illuminates the scenes you've already scene, perhaps right after you've seen them! There’s really no one right way to do this, so just relax and you’ll surely have a profound experience!For more Spirit-inspired movie talks, we recommend that you subscribe to our online Movie Watchers Guide to Enlightenment at MWGE.org. There you will find many movie talks like this, many of which are integrated with the actual movie so you can watch the movie and hear David’s commentary all-in-one. This movie with David’s commentary may in fact already be there by the time you subscribe! https://mwge.org/Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

"The Beauty Inside" Movie Talk, Tabula Rasa Mystery School, David Hoffmeister & Jenny Donner ACIM

http://mwge.orgIn 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 beauty inside, for love has nothing to do with bodies.To listen to this movie commentary by David in conjunction with the movie, do the following:- Rent or obtain the movie “The Beauty Inside” (check YouTube or Amazon for online rentals).- Before watching the movie, listen to this recording of Jenny's pre-movie setup from the beginning until the 4:00 point (4 minutes into it). Then pause the recording and start the movie.- 1 hour and 29 minutes into the movie (set a timer on your phone), pause it, and listen to David’s commentary. Then resume the movie when he stops.- Pause the movie 21 minutes later and listen to David’s commentary. Then resume the movie and watch it through to the end.- To hear David’s after-movie talk, resume this recording from where you last paused it.Enjoy!Recorded on May 28, 2017 at the Living Miracles Monastery in Duchesne, Utah during the Tabula Rasa Mystery School.
