A Course in Miracles (ACIM) Podcast

David greets his "new neighbors" at this opening to the retreat, and shares his joy with the community's transition to Mexico. The Course showed up as a symbol in David's life as he used it as an oracle, developing a constant dialogue with Spirit. Practicality was key and Spirit's guidance was extremely specific for David. After saying "yes" completely to Jesus, the next thirty years was easy. It'...

Update on Living Miracles community moving to the Chapala/Ajijic area of south central Mexico. The final month of preparations and movement before the settlement and reunion in September. The warmth and welcome of the people and friends here in Mexico is an obvious sign for all of us. The synchronicity and serendipity are vibrant in awareness, as Living A Course In Miracles comes into full fruitio...

"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...

On Saturday morning of the Celebrating Inner Peace fun-raiser to support the Foundation for Inner Peace, David Hoffmeister invites Carol Howe, author of "Never Forget to Laugh", on stage with him to share about her vast experiences with Bill Thetford and the early days of A Course in Miracles.

During the opening ceremony of the “Celebrating Inner Peace” fun-raiser to support the Foundation for Inner Peace, David Hoffmeister shares his gratitude for the "A Course in Miracles elders" who played primary roles in bringing ACIM to us. Introduction by Jason Warwick. Recorded at the Living Miracles Monastery in Utah on July 14, 2017 (what would have been Helen Schucman’s 108th birthday!) Follo...

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...

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 Da...

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 ea...

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...

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 h...

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 eve...

http://mwge.org In 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...

http://mwge.org “Before I Fall” is a movie with similarities to the movie “Groundhog Day”. The main character, Sam, is experiencing the same day over and over again, and struggles with how to escape from the loop. Like Bill Murray’s character in “Groundhog Day”, she goes through an evolution in how she chooses to use the day, until she finally realizes she must use it to be fully in service to all...

http://mwge.org The Shack is a beautiful movie which demonstrates how the Spirit will use whatever symbols we believe in to reach us and help us heal. In the movie, the main character “Mack” has lost his daughter and is dealing with intense guilt and anger. Through a profound spiritual experience, he is able to forgive and find peace once again. Along the way he realizes that God has nothing to do...

http://mwge.org David showed the “Nosedive” episode from the Black Mirror TV series in which a woman is desperate to boost her personal social media score. This is an extreme depiction of a future society based on reciprocity, personal gain, and people pleasing. It can actually be seen as comical from our perspective. In contrast, knowing yourself provides a solid basis for true happiness. David a...

http://mwge.org Tron is a classic movie about the authority problem: the idea that you can author yourself instead of accepting that you are perfect as God created you. Kevin Flynn is a video game developer who believes he created a digital world and is now trapped in it. Fast forward twenty years, and we see Kevin's son, Sam, looking for his father in the digital world which has degenerated into...

http://mwge.org David takes the Tabula Rasa Mystery School students out on a field trip to Park City to watch the new movie “The Circle” starring Tom Hanks and Emma Watson. This recording is from the after movie talk David gave on the topic of transparency, and how everything is mind; everything is connected. As long as there is value placed on privacy, upsetting emotions will be sure to follow. O...

http://mwge.org When your mind shifts into the miracle, the only temptations will be doubt thoughts in the mind that are doubting the transformation. In human perspective on the timeline, it seems like it is the people around us that are the doubters. In the movie "Fearless", the main character experiences a dramatic shift in consciousness after he survives an airplane crash. When he returns to hi...

http://mwge.org Just imagine the state of mind you would be in if you knew that every single encounter you've ever had in this whole lifetime was planned by One who knows your good. One who is there to free you from the ego, to return you to the Kingdom of Heaven. And knowing that every time you have ever had an irritation, an annoyance, or a rage, that the world is just a backdrop for you to let...

He opens the session by reminding the students that there may be extreme emotions to face during this month, but with willingness and an open mind we can expect many miracles and synchronicities to carry us along. Questions include: Do the 12 step program and the Co...

http://www.nondualityonline.com Jason Warwick gives a talk on how to use a Virtual Reality System for the purpose of mind training and healing, as opposed to entertainment. Spirit can use everything, even “VR," to undo the intellect and bring the mind into the authentic experience of being the Dreamer of the Dream. Mind training is required, however. This talk gives you a solid grasp on how to sta...

Enjoy this rich talk that will help you gain an understanding of where our problems really lie: in the mind and nowhere else. All of our guilt, fear, rage is all in the mind not out in the world. Accepting this is not only a time saver but your ticket to true freedom and peace of mind. Other topics include inspiring accounts of the lives of mystics such as Ghandi, William Whitson, and Living Mirac...

When you accept your calling, the Holy Spirit will give you new tasks to expand and train your mind in a loving direction. The futuristic world portrayed in this movie "The Giver" is based on repression of memory and emotion, and hence it is tightly controlled by rules and protectionism. When the main character, Jonas, becomes 18 he is given an expanded role with access, through his mentor, to mem...
