Movie 'No Men Beyond This Point' - Putting The Peace of God First with David Hoffmeister In this Movie Workshop, David talks about putting the peace of God first and how to see the sameness of all hypotheticals and the nothingness of outcomes in form.

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.

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.

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.

Star Trek - Voyager Episodes - 'Waking Dreams' and 'The Thaw' - Seeing I'm the Dreamer of the Dream with David Hoffmeister Today we're going beyond where no man has ever gone before because Jesus says when you are going towards the dreamer of the dream position, then we're not talking about a man or a woman.

The movie "A Time for Heaven" Recognizing It's Always My Own Lesson by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop 'Recognizing it's always my own lesson' won the poll this week, and it's not referring to our personality but the simplicity of salvation.

Opening Session - "Abundance in Miracles" Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu We all have our connotations whatever our past learning has taught us about abundance, but there was something fresh and new in that word when it was presenting itself in the Course in Miracles.

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.

Movie "Needle in a Time Stack" Desiring God above All Else by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop David: "Before I got into A Course in Miracles and before I got conscious on my spiritual journey, I was reading a quote from a poet named Edwin Markham, and it hit me so strongly, and I thought, wow, there's something to this that is deep.

Closing Session - Holy Relationship - Tabula Rasa Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu - February 2022 When we think of Holy Relationships, the core of it is the Holy Instant and the Holy Relationship is the expression of the Holy Instant in living in this world.

Movie "The Giver" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Movie Workshop from the "Holy Relationship" online retreat Projection is the attempt to get rid of something you don't want by seeing it somewhere else.

Movie "Violet" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop. Many have very dark experiences in childhood and during their teen years and early adulthood, where they have a lot of reflections and witnesses of guilt and shame, of blame, of criticism, and of all kinds of judgments. And for those of us who have come through that route, we know how stressful, fear, and guilt-ridden...

Movie "Bruce Almighty"- Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop I was thinking back through my 35 years of working with the course identifying which prayers have I prayed in my heart the most?

The movie "Chances Are" - Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop Jesus knows that the mind that believes in separation is freakin scared of light.

Closing Session - Vision of the New World - Tabula Rasa January 2022 Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu We need to be taught innocence as little children because we are brought up with the ego's way of adding meaning to and sorting out the reasons and purposes of the world.

Movie 'Eagle Eye' Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Online Movie Workshop Jesus gave us a movie today where he's giving us the nuts and bolts of how to have peace of mind.

Opening Session - Tabula Rasa January 2022 Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu Our topic for this month's retreat is 'Vision for a New World,' and Jesus is quite specific with his choice of words, so when he talks about Vision, he's not talking about it in the way that most human beings speak of Vision and a new world.

Movie "Don't Look Up!" Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop From David's introduction: "Jesus says in A Course in Miracles that the learning of the workbook is not cumulative, so if you can get one lesson, you got them all.

Movie "Family Man" Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Weekly Online Movie Workshop When we approach forgiveness, often, we think we need to forgive ourselves as persons or forgive other people.
