5th. Session - Movie Workshop - Saturday Evening - Barcelona Retreat with David Hoffmeister

1st Session, Week 2 - Opening Up to Unconditional Love with David & UrpiThis session was an invitation to look within our minds and go beyond the five senses. By following the way of the mystic, we recognize that love is content and form of any kind. The fragmented world of the ego is sustained by preferences, which are part of a hierarchy of illusions; yet Jesus reminds us that the only illusion that truly leads us to awakening is forgiveness. Instead of believing we have many choices, we discover that in truth there is only one: following the guidance. Ultimately, we understand that we have no other need than God, and with this comes a lack of interest in differences.

The Way of the Mystic – Session 2: Loosening the Grip of the Five SensesIn this second session of The Way of the Mystic, David Hoffmeister guides us into a profound metaphysical exploration using a beloved animated film as a spiritual mirror. David's commentary invites us to loosen our mind’s grip on the five senses and open ourselves to the intuitive guidance of the Holy Spirit. Set against the backdrop of St. Francis Day, David weaves together the radical simplicity of St. Francis’s life with the mystical journey of Francis Xu, whose own transformative experience with this film echoes the lesson “I am the Holy Son of God Himself” from A Course in Miracles. The session becomes a portal into the direct experience of divine love. This is not just a movie commentary—it’s a call to remember who we truly are beyond time, space, and personality.✨ Let the veil be lifted. Let the light in. Let the mystic within awaken.For more information about The Way of the Mystic, David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://www.the-christ.net/eventsRecorded live online on October 4, 2025, in Mexico.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

Embracing Spiritual Unity and Unconditional Love with David, Urpi, Erik and SusannahIn the opening session for the online weekend revivals, 'The Way of the Mystic,' David and Urpi explore how a cherished community song, played by Erik at the beginning, symbolizes spiritual unity and unconditional love. They begin to comment on the five themes chosen in the weekly poll that underlie all the sessions this weekend. The talk focuses on the meaning of loving others without seeking approval, examining the mystical idea that true love transcends physical perception. It suggests that our usual view of others as separate, physical beings is illusory and proposes that genuine unity is spiritual, requiring us to see innocence in everyone. A childhood anecdote about imaginary threats highlights how deeply ingrained perceptions can be deceptive, ultimately urging us to question these perceptions and look beyond surface appearances.For more information about The Way of the Mystic, David Hoffmeister, and Living Miracles events, visit https://www.the-christ.net/eventsRecorded live on October 3, 2025, Online, Mexico.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

A Quantum Love Story - David at Namaste In this movie gathering at the Namaste Community in Ajijic, Mexico, David delves into the notion of consciousness, explaining that Jesus sees it as the domain of the ego rather than a reflection of pure spirit. He suggests that the split from God generated this consciousness, leading to fragmented perceptions of reality. Jesus’ teachings highlight that our perceptions are projections of our state of mind, meaning that changing our perspective is key to understanding our spiritual journey. It also illustrates how our five senses do not fully define our consciousness, as evidenced by out-of-body experiences. Ultimately, David emphasizes that true healing and clarity come from shifting our mindset rather than attempting to change the external world.For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on August 17, 2025, at Namaste, Ajijic, Mexico.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

Awakening to Eternal Life - Into the  Mystical Christ Academy Movie Session with David HoffmeisterAs a warm-up to this year's Mystical Christ Academy gathering, David uses a movie to emphasize that the ego creates a fictitious world of time and space, distracting us from our true identity as the Christ, the perfect Son of God. He conveys that concepts like birth, death, and emotional turmoil are illusions that do not reflect reality. David refers to lessons from A Course in Miracles, particularly the idea that nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal exists. In the movie session, participants are encouraged to recognize that the events in the movie unfolding are merely projections of a mind lost in illusion. David focuses on the notion that true peace comes from realizing the eternal nature of existence, beyond the drama of the physical world. The gathering was translated to Spanish on a different channel, but at 2hours and 52 minutes, the power shut down, and Marina had to translate David consecutively.Sign up for the Mystical Christ Academy 2025, starting August 15: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/mystical-christ-academy-2025For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on August 2, 2025, at Casa Quatico, Chapala, Mexico.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

“The true escape is in the mind.” In this powerful conversation with David Hoffmeister, Dale Crowe shares his extraordinary journey from a life defined by boxing, pride, and prison to a profound encounter with forgiveness and love. What began as a prison sentence became a classroom for healing, where every past memory was reinterpreted through the vision of Christ. Dale’s story is a living demonstration of the deep truth of A Course in Miracles: nothing real can be threatened, and all healing is of the mind. From meeting his childhood bully and embracing innocence to dropping every mask of identity, Dale discovered that true freedom isn’t found in the world but in the quiet release of the heart.Resources and Links:• Join Dale Crowe’s weekly show Released in Purpose: Come Home with Me inside Tribe of Christ.

Tabula Rasa Mystery School - Day 21: "The Dream Behind the Drama"David and Kirsten discuss the idea that life is like a movie directed by our ego, not by God, which allows us to see our experiences as acts rather than ultimate truths. By observing our thoughts and feelings, we can realize that our interpretations shape our experiences, similar to how a character in a film becomes aware of the acting around them. This awareness can reduce the intensity of our emotional responses, akin to lucid dreaming, and facilitate forgiveness. Ultimately, being aware that we are dreaming helps us not to take life too seriously, allowing us to open up to healing and a new purpose.For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on June 25, 2025, at Casa de Milagros, Chapala, Mexico.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

Tabula Rasa Mystery School - Day 20: Faith Over Fame: Dolores Hart and the Call WithinOn Mystery School day 20, David discusses the deeper purpose of life and spirituality, highlighting how the ego traps individuals in worldly desires, such as fame and wealth. He contrasts this with the idea of letting go of the ego to connect with God, illustrated through the story of Dolores, a Hollywood actress who finds fulfillment beyond her fame. Ultimately, the story culminates in Dolores’s journey of self-discovery, where she learns that true happiness comes from surrendering to a higher calling rather than succumbing to ego-driven temptations. David also answers questions from Mystery School participants.For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on June 24, 2025, at Casa de Milagros, Chapala, Mexico.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw
