A Course in Miracles (ACIM) Podcast

Welcome to the August 22, 2026, Movie Session from "The Way" series with David Hoffmeister, recorded live at the Living Miracles Monastery, Awakening Mind Center. This episode focuses on the metaphysical concept of timelessness and the importance of detaching from the linear constructs of time and space. Using scenes from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager, the session illustrates how the physical world is merely a projection of the ego and the mind's internal beliefs. Listeners are guided through core principles from A Course in Miracles, emphasizing the need to release past judgments, move away from analytical thinking, and embrace the profound peace found only in the present moment. 

These gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.

This episode is a recording of the Movie Session from the Devotional Stay Weekend Retreat in Duchesne, Utah. Presenters David Hoffmeister, Jason Warwick, and Kirsten Buxton lead a spiritual discussion centered around an animated film to explore the nature of autonomy and true freedom. The session contrasts the ego's illusion of physical independence with the liberation of the mind, illustrating how rebellion and defense ultimately lead to struggle. By analyzing the main character's journey, the gathering highlights the profound awakening that occurs when one surrenders personal control, embraces holy relationships, and completely trusts in the guidance of the Spirit to find their way home.

In this Saturday Morning Movie Session for the August 15th episode of "The Way," David Hoffmeister explores the weekend's theme, "I can’t go home without you: TIMELESS union". Using a well-known superhero film about mutants as a teaching tool, David discusses the true meaning of forgiveness and the illusion of linear time. He explains that attempting to alter the past or fix external circumstances is a faulty plan rooted in the ego. Instead, true healing requires going deep into the mind to release grievances, let go of judgment, and shift our purpose to the Holy Spirit. By accepting that the past is entirely gone and the future is merely imagined, we can return to the present moment and rest in perfect peace.

Following David's profound teaching, the episode concludes with a Mystical Lounge, meditative music offering that invites listeners to sink inward and let these insights settle into a tranquil feeling of love. 

These gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.

In this Friday Opening Session of the August 14th episode of "The Way," David Hoffmeister and Kirsten Buxton introduce the weekend's profound theme, "I can’t go home without you: TIMELESS union". They explore the deep spiritual meaning behind this concept, explaining that true timeless union requires a full commitment to seeing Christ in everyone and recognizing that we all share a single purpose: forgiveness. David and Kirsten emphasize that viewing every person as a prayer partner helps free the mind from the ego's traps and the illusion of linear time.  

Following the opening teaching, the episode transitions into a heartfelt gratitude session in which community members share recent miracles and experiences of spiritual surrender. Jiska recounts a dream about choosing joy over guilt, Pete expresses his deep appreciation for the community's shifting household constellations, and Greg and Raphael share a story about trusting the Holy Spirit to perfectly resolve a maintenance issue. Additionally, Helena describes a spontaneous, holy encounter with strangers at her front gate. Each of these inspiring stories is beautifully accompanied by original, freshly produced songs that capture the joy and spiritual lessons of their experiences.  

These gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.
