Opening Session - Reborn in the Light of Christ - A Tabula Rasa Weekend Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu Heaven is just pure being. The light just is. You could just summarize all of heaven with two words. God is! Isn't that refreshing? How simple; God is.

Shine So Bright That All Fear Disappears (Q&A - Part 3) with David Hoffmeister - An All-Day Movie Workshop To shine so bright that all fear, not some, but all fear, disappears, psychologists would say, that's not reasonable.

What Is Spiritual Maturity? - Wednesday Morning Gathering at La Casa de Milagros with David Hoffmeister, Frances Xu, and Lisa Fair As we open up to be shown the meaning of spiritual maturity, you can say that our spiritual journey was nothing like we thought it would be.

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 awa...

The Only Way Out is The Only Way In - David Hoffmeister, Lisa Fair, and Frances Xu gather with the Interns at La Casa De Milagros There are many people that have tried to renounce the world in words.

We have to value Christ so much that...

A New Day Dawning - David Hoffmeister, Frances Xu, and Lisa Fair at La Casa de Milagros - November 10, 2022 Teaching has been equated with words and with behaviors and actions. 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...

Closing Session - The Mystical Heart of Christ Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit, Jesus taught in the Bible, and then it follows; Now I'm born again, which is the choice for the Holy Instant.

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 meaningless...

Opening Session - The Mystical Heart of Christ - Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu Once we let our whole heart and our whole mind say; Of ourselves, we can do nothing, but in God everything is possible, and we will step back and but follow, then it opens our hearts, expands our awareness beyond words and beyond something that we can't put the finger on. With this constant expans...

The movie "God's Not Dead 4" - We the People with David Hoffmeister - A Weekly Online Movie Workshop In the past 35 years, I've heard two words put together. And the two words are. My truth. So what's that even mean - my truth? When I would inquire, they say, Well, you've got your truth, but I've got my truth. And then when you start to pray together about guidance, they would say to me, David, th...

Movie 'God's Not Dead 3' - A Light In Darkness with David Hoffmeister - A Weekly Movie Workshop Most of us have grown up thinking of ourselves as human beings, as persons with parents, families, countries, and languages, with sometimes different jobs or careers. Usually, we do not think of ourselves as miracle workers. That seems way beyond what is expected in this world. But what Jesus was teachi...

The movie "God's Not Dead 2" - Let the Miracle Convince My Mind with David Hoffmeister. Let the miracle convince my mind. Let the Holy Spirit use miracles to convince you that you're the One.

There's one part in A Course in Mira...

Live Music and Talk at Living Miracles Monastery with David Hoffmeister and Svava Love When we go on the spiritual journey we say yes but we don't really know what the form will be. It seem that difficulties arise when we think we have an idea about how the form could or should be. Until we surrender and say, Father, what is your will for me? I'm an open, receptive mind. I am a clear channel. I ha...

The movie "God Is Not Dead 1" - 'Heralds of Eternity' Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister. Heralds of Eternity are the Messengers of Eternity, and that's us. We must recognize that the Heralds of Eternity are the Mighty Companions of Eternity, and that's us.

Opening Session - Heralds of Eternity - Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu Jesus is saying in A Course in Miracles that there is no universal theology, but there is a universal experience, and he's encouraging us to go for the experience.

Documentary "How To Change Your Mind - Episode 3" Lifelong Dedication to the Calling by David Hoffmeister - A Weekly Online Movie Workshop If you look at things of the world and the things you only give partial attention to or partial devotion to, it will come out sloppy.
