A Course in Miracles (ACIM) Podcast

Join David Hoffmeister in this live pre-movie session as he prepares students for a screening of the futuristic thriller Mercy, which they will watch afterward at the local cinema.

Set in a world where an AI judicial system delivers life-or-death verdicts in a matter of minutes, the film serves as a visceral metaphor for the ego’s "courtroom" of the mind.

David uses the story of Detective Chris Raven—a man judged by the very system he helped create—to illustrate the A Course in Miracles concept of "reversing cause and effect." By exploring the high "guilt percentile" assigned by the AI judge, David shows us how we have authored our own dream of judgment and how the world we see is a projection of an internal belief in separation.

This session dives deep into the ego's "categorizing mechanism" and the futility of seeking evidence to prove our innocence in a dream. Instead, David points the way toward the "Holy Instant," where the desire for truth overrides the data of the past. As we prepare to watch Chris Raven’s race against time, we are invited to look past the "matrix" of formal education and societal rules to find the shimmering, translucent reality of our true Spirit.

Recorded live as a movie preparation session, this talk is an invitation to stop being a victim of external forces and start recognizing the power of the mind to choose a different vision.

In this special bilingual movie gathering, David Hoffmeister presents a powerful compilation of episodes to illustrate the transition from a world of separation to a world of Oneness.

The story depicts a spiritual awakening reaching the planet, shifting the collective consciousness so that 8.4 billion people suddenly share one mind and one purpose. Wars, competition, and scarcity disappear, revealing a world of peace. Yet, a small group of people—representing the ego—resists this change, clinging to their individual identities and grievances.

David focuses on the main character to demonstrate how the ego reacts to the threat of peace. Even with the world healed, she remains upset, proving the A Course in Miracles lesson: "I am never upset for the reason I think." Through the metaphor of a lost purse, David explores themes of loss, pride, and the resistance to joining. He reminds us that we cannot bring truth to our illusions; we must bring our illusions to the truth.

Ultimately, this session is a call to give our full consent to the Holy Spirit. We are asked to stop protecting our private thoughts and specialness and to realize that "unified needs lead to unified action."

Enjoy David's profound commentary with German translation.

In this vibrant bilingual session, David Hoffmeister uses a movie as a powerful parable for the spiritual journey. While the on-screen action features "Hunters" battling evil spirits, the deeper metaphysical teaching points to the "tiny mad idea" of separation and the ego's attempts to make fear real.

David teaches that the world we see is akin to a theater. By viewing the intensity of the world—its battles, conflicts, and dramas—as a script we have written, we can step back and observe without judgment. This practice of "watching" allows us to remain defenseless in every situation. We learn that we are not the characters fighting in the dream, but the dreamer who can choose to wake up.

In this bilingual movie gathering (with Portuguese translation), David Hoffmeister uses a film about a woman who gains the ability to hear people’s inner thoughts as songs to illustrate a profound truth: There are no private thoughts.

Connecting the movie’s plot—triggered by an MRI and an earthquake—to A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 19, David explores the reversal of cause and effect. We often believe that external events—like a flat tire, a grumpy boss, or sour milk—cause our bad days. However, David explains that the world is actually a projection of our own minds.

Join this session to discover why the ego’s version of reality is a "hallucination" and how the Holy Spirit offers a way to wake up from the dream of separation.
