The Way of the Mystic Online Revival Weekend 5 - Saturday Movie Session with David Hoffmeister

https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIn this podcast episode from "The Way of the Mystic" Weekend 5, David answers questions from participants, and he addresses the heart of the spiritual journey: releasing the world through true forgiveness.David emphasises that forgiveness is not a mere social gesture but a profound mental shift. By clearing the mind of grievances, we become open conduits for the Holy Spirit, allowing a universal blessing to flow through us to the entire world. Central to this process is developing a gentle awareness of our "distractions"—the ego’s attempts to pull us back into the dream. David encourages us to notice these diversions without falling into self-judgment, remaining compassionate as we choose the Spirit over the illusions of the past.The One Mind is not meant for intellectual study but for direct experience. As we open our hearts and practically follow guidance, higher love begins to extend naturally. By addressing healing at the thought level, we move beyond effort into the direct knowledge of our Source.These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026, featuring teachings, films, music, and live dialogues.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsRecording Date: Online, Saturday, March 7, 2026Follow 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

https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticDuring this Saturday morning movie gathering, part of the The Way of the Mystic weekend revival titled "Radical acceptance of the guidance: Leave the world behind", David helps the listeners shift the focus of the mind toward recognizing the mental "hypnosis" of the world and the necessity of coming into a deep agreement with oneself to follow the light of truth.In his commentary, David centers on the realization that there is no useful choice in the world of space and time other than the consistent alignment with the Holy Spirit. By looking at the world as a complex projection designed to keep the mind distracted, we can begin to see that our only true investment should be in present guidance. Using the metaphor of a mind trapped in a series of deceptive layers, David highlights how we must learn to see through the "hypnotic" suggestions of the ego. Instead of trying to fix or choose between different aspects of the dream, we are invited to accept a state of radical trust where the script is already written, and our only role is to accept the peace that comes with that recognition.Through this lens, the session explores how important it is to learn the lesson that “only truth is true”: by giving special relationships and personal desires to the Holy Spirit, we forgive the illusions of the ego’s worthless gifts, allowing the mind to be led back to the awareness of true Identity as Christ. These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recording Date: Online, Saturday, March 7, 2026Follow 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

https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic.In this vibrant closing session of the weekend, David Hoffmeister opens with a celebration of the "weekly miracle updates," highlighting the beautiful transformations experienced globally as the community joins in purpose. The dialogue begins with a response to a deeply felt prayer from a participant seeking to release ego distractions and surrender all worldly attachments to the Holy Spirit. David illustrates that as we move from a "closeted," intellectual study of A Course in Miracles into active, trust-based engagement, our anticipated fears of loss are replaced by a lightness of being that frees us from all investment in outcomes, and by an increasingly intuitive connection with the Holy Spirit, one which is constantly reinforced in the mind by the experiencing of more and more miracles.The session deepens as a second participant shares how her daily environment—the care home where she now lives — has become a classroom for mind training and beautiful, holy encounters. She mentions the miracle of realizing that death has no power over the truth of our Identity, and how she learned to speak honestly of love and be very helpful to those around her.This session concludes the weekend revival with a joyous and profound reminder that we are all in this together. By handing our "bundle of desires" over to the Holy Spirit, we step into a miraculous life where everything unfolds spectacularly.These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic.If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recording Date: Online, Sunday, March 1, 2026Follow 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

https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIn this profound "After the Movie Q&A session", David Hoffmeister leads an inquiry into collapsing the ego’s construct of time, highlighting the importance of having the purpose of forgiveness out front as the only way to navigate a world that has no substantial reality.Following a specific question from a participant, David addresses the confusion and hesitation often felt on the spiritual path, reminding us the practicality of trusting inner guidance regarding when to fully commit to a 24/7 spiritual purpose. This commitment marks the transition from seeking to truly following the promptings of the Spirit without delay.The session then explores the value of "mighty companions" and prayerful connections in releasing the beliefs that form the egoic self. By joining with another in a shared purpose of prayer and forgiveness, deep-seated thoughts and limiting beliefs can be exposed and released with miraculous effectiveness.These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recording Date: Online, Saturday, February 28, 2026Follow 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

In this Saturday movie session, David Hoffmeister leads us into a radical experience of presence where the burden of "knowing" is finally laid down. Using a comedic narrative as our backdrop, we explore the liberating realization that we do not need to figure the world out to be safe; in fact, our safety lies in our willingness to be completely clueless, carefree, and therefore cared-for. The movie's main character shows a playful approach to the “theater” that worldly life appears as, demonstrating the state of mind needed for spiritual awakening - one that doesn't take the world seriously and sees everything as an act or play. When we judge situations or others and believe we know the plot of our lives, we interpret based on past learning and projected meanings, rather than seeing reality as it truly is. David reminds us that forgiveness involves learning to train the mind not to interpret fear, as fear is an ego belief. The movie then serves as a tool to help us watch the world with calm eyes and trust the present moment, laughing at the world's interpretations and letting life present itself to us as a spontaneous, joyful flow. These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister. Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events. Recording Date: Online, Saturday, February 28, 2026Follow 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

https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIn this profound session that closes the weekend, David addresses deep inquiries from participants, grounding high-level metaphysical principles into practical, everyday application, while making references to the central theme of the weekend as explored in the previous Friday, Saturday and Sunday sessions: by shifting the focus of all our relationships from getting to giving, we move from the heavy constraints of the past into the light of the present moment, collapse the illusion of linear time and rediscover the "timeless being" that remains untouched by the world’s "maze". In response to questions about personal lack, David shares that giving is the mechanism for receiving, and he uses the example of sharing prison letters to illustrate how extending love to those in seemingly "confined" situations actually enables the giver to find freedom from their own mind cells, favoring an experience of connection and miraculous release. Other questions address the topic of how to navigate life’s script when circumstances appear challenging, with references to the context of one’s job or even in dealing with worldly institutions and regulations. David also underlines the importance and the beauty of living a prayerful and guided life, emphasizing that guidance is not a tool for the ego to use to improve its personal circumstances or secure specific outcomes in form, but a trusting surrender of the personality self to the Voice for God of the Holy Spirit.These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic weekend gatherings for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsRecorded Sunday,  February 22, 2026 (English with Spanish live translation)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

https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticDuring The Way of the Mystic Weekend titled  “Stepping Out of the Maze of Time through Giving”, in the Saturday Movie Session, David uses a mini-movie to explore the mental traps of the past and the liberating realization that we can never truly "fix" what never happened. Using the metaphor of a man traveling back into the 1960s to prevent a tragedy, David provides a deep commentary on how the ego uses "do-overs" to keep us tethered to linear time.The discussion illuminates how the past is a relentless force that resists change, yet it shows that the only way to truly escape the maze of "what if" is through the present-moment practice of giving and forgiveness. As David navigates through this gripping story of a time-traveling English teacher, we are invited to see that attempting to alter the dream only tightens its grip, while accepting the Holy Spirit’s interpretation of the present sets us free.These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recording Date: Online, Saturday, February 21, 2026Follow 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

https://www.the-christ.net/blog/the-way-of-the-mysticIn this final Q&A session of "The Way of the Mystic" online weekend revival, David Hoffmeister illuminates the path from fear and separation to the profound peace of the Holy Spirit. David explores how the mind often finds itself trapped in an "attraction to guilt," seeking happiness in shifting human forms that inevitably lead to suffering and a sense of lack. He emphasizes that the world we perceive is merely a projection of internal conflict and that all apparent sickness—physical or emotional—is a mental confusion of levels.The session focuses on the transformative realization that purpose is the only choice. While the ego presents a fragmented script filled with limited outcomes and personal preferences, the Holy Spirit offers a single, unifying purpose: the awakening of the mind. Drawing metaphors from a cinematic journey through an apocalyptic wasteland, David illustrates how we can use the very images the ego made for isolation as opportunities for holy encounters and divine connection. By surrendering the need to control the "form" of our lives and instead committing to the Spirit’s purpose, we transcend the belief in sacrifice and step into the abundance of the present moment.These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded February 15, 2026Follow 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

https://www.the-christ.net/blog/the-way-of-the-mysticIn this deep and humorous 'The Way of the Mystic' session from February 14, 2026, David Hoffmeister explores the ego's intricate web of "special relationships" through a comedic lens. Using the metaphor of a high school transformation and the awkward quest for romantic validation, the discussion dismantles the hierarchy of love that the world teaches.Key Themes of the Session:The Illusion of Specialness: David examines how the ego uses categories like "best friend," "partner," and the dreaded "friend zone" to maintain a sense of separation and lack.Humor as a Healing Tool: The session highlights the necessity of laughter in undoing the ego's seriousness, reminding us that we simply "forgot to laugh" at the tiny, mad idea of being separate from God.From Scarcity to Abundance: By looking at our desperate attempts to find love in form, we begin to recognize our inherent worthiness and the consistent, unconditional love of the Christ within."God did not create bodies, and the problem of judgment is the belief that bodies are real. On Valentine's Day, we celebrate the release from these concepts into the pure light of Agapé love."These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.https://umcursoemmilagres.netRecorded February 14, 2026Follow 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

https://www.the-christ.net/blog/the-way-of-the-mysticIn this "Mission Accomplished" Saturday morning movie session, David Hoffmeister uses a mini-movie to illuminate a radical spiritual breakthrough: the realization that our innocence is already complete. The narrative, condensed from multiple action films, serves as a powerful metaphor for the ego's complex plots and the Holy Spirit’s swift undoing of them. David focuses on two pivotal metaphysical themes:The Illusion of Time and Control: Drawing on A Course in Miracles Lesson 158, David explains that "time is a trick, a sleight of hand." He emphasizes that the ego uses the past and future to distract us from the Holy Instant, where our safety lies. By letting go of the need to control the "script" of our lives, we discover that the mission of salvation is already accomplished through the Atonement.Transcending the Ego’s Distractions: The session explores how the mind is often fooled into believing it is a separate, physical entity at the mercy of external circumstances. David invites us to "peer behind the curtain" and see that all conflict—whether a nuclear threat on screen or a personal grievance—is merely a projection of a split mind.Through his commentary, David guides listeners to hear the gentle whisper of Jesus saying, "Mission Accomplished," allowing us to surrender our worries and judgments in favor of the happiness that is our natural inheritance.These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded February 7, 2026Follow 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
