Questioning everything unlike Love is what brings it into awareness. Nothing can or will or has ever changed Love. This podcast is a reading of a journal on Love by David Hoffmeister. Looking at all of our beliefs and past associations of love brings the world that we think we know into question. Asking well directed questions brings an awareness of the Truth to a mind with a sincere desire to know It.

We are the Family of God and have never been separate. This podcast is a reading on a journal by David Hoffmeister that extends an invitation to Awaken to the experience of Eternal Oneness. You are ready! Teaching what you would learn, teaching by extending what you are is the way that the mind remembers that all Peace is truly Inner Peace. Education takes on a new meaning as it is the un-learning of all that is false in order to regain True Vision. In this Purpose we come together to Unite in laying aside all false ideas about ourselves.

The Kingdom Of Heaven Is Within You. Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of Heaven. The Kingdom at Heaven is at hand means it is Now. Now is the gateway to the Eternal. For time and eternity cannot both exist. All is One with God, and I am grateful for the Beloved Eternity which is Real and True. Now is the time of Salvation!

How will the Awakening occur? The answer to this question lies in learning to differentiate between form and content. Love is content and Mind is content. The ego accepts or rejects based on form. Content sees no differences and it is here that the mind can rest in the absence of judgment. Articles written by Jeffrey Lake and Kirsten Buxton.

The content of all questions is the same regardless of their form. The only question that the ego ever asks is the question, what am I? Learning to ask real questions is the only way to get a real answer to the one question. A question and answer dialogue with David Hoffmeister on learning to make content the focus of asking questions. Read by Jason Press, Kerri Lake and Suzanne Sullivan.

All assumptions must be raised to light to see if they are true or false. David Hoffmeister answers a question about assumptions. The mind that is uncertain about it's identity seeks for it from "outside" sources and accepts all kinds of assumptions in an attempt to find security. To begin to question cherished and valued assumptions is a step towards healing perception.

There is nothing apart from mind. A Course In Miracles teaches that the universe is one of ideas. God and Christ are Ideas as well; Pure Ideas. Remembering Selfhood requires the release of all false ideas. Ideas are strengthened as they are shared.

All theological systems seem to offer an explanation for how the separation from God seemed to occur. A Course In Miracles teaches that the separation is, in fact, an error which has already been corrected. What seems to be linear time is the replaying of this tiny mad idea. The Holy Spirit is the answer that was given simultaneously.

A dialog between David Hoffmeister and a friend (read by Kerri and Jason) which demonstrates that an open mind is a mind that the Holy Spirit can work with. Healing involves starting with "specifics". Beliefs and feelings cannot be denied in light of the metaphysics. The ego cannot die, for it is death, the wish to be separate. The Holy Spirit can work with a willing mind. http://www.media-library.us/podcast/010_willingness_to_be_shown.mp3 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 15:00:00 EST 00:24:34 a course in miracles, metaphysics, healing, holy spirit, david hoffmeister, death, ego, images, ideas Kerri Lake and Jason Press There is no real definition that can be given to the ego, as you cannot truly define what is unreal. Today's podcast includes a dialog between David Hoffmeister and a friend titled, How Did The Mind Make The Ego? Readings on The Ego and The Miracle from Clarification of Terms and a question, What Is This Other Voice, is answered by David. Only a present experience can dissolve the belief in the ego. You may ask what the ego is, but a better question to answer would be, "Are you ready to help Me save the world?" Remembrance that you are the Holy Son of God is buried in the mind. The instant that the mind believed in the ego is the "unholy instant" and is synonymous with linear time.It is a Joy to learn to pay the ego no heed. http://www.media-library.us/podcast/011_talking_about_ego_1.mp3 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 09:00:00 EST 00:19:35 a course in miracles, metaphysics, healing, holy spirit, david hoffmeister, dream, definition, ego, clarification of terms Kerri Lake and Jason Press Defining Ego is the title of a dialog that takes place between David Hoffmeister and a friend. It must be made clear the difference between the purpose of the ego and the purpose of the Holy Spirit. The ego is dispelled by withdrawing belief from it. David answers questions on pride and personality and ends with an answer to the question, "How do you turn the ego off?" Explores the relationship between psychology and the definition of ego. What is the relationship between Spirit and psychology? Quantum Physics gets into very psychological ideas of perception based on some interesting experiments. You cannot fight the ego. Duality in the world is a reflection of the dual belief systems that the mind tries to maintain as long as it believes in the ego. http://www.media-library.us/podcast/012_talking_about_ego_2.mp3 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:00:00 EST 00:23:18 a course in miracles, metaphysics, quantum physics, science, projection, holy spirit, david hoffmeister, perception, psychology, Jung, Freud, ego Kerri Lake and Jason Press True Perception is a unified perception, the way that the Holy Spirit sees the world. To perceive is to read meaning into. What you perceive is a reflection of what you want the world to be. Desire attack, and you will perceive witnesses of it. Desire peace and the "outside" world will be a reflection of your desire. The past is where guilt seemed to occur. To see only the past is to perceive attack and to experience upset. To be in the present is to experience innocence and a unified, or, true perception. http://www.media-library.us/podcast/013_true_perception.mp3 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 12:00:00 EST 00:24:29 a course in miracles, metaphysics, perception, desire, unified, holy spirit, david hoffmeister, perception, healing, love, illusion, crime Kerri Lake and Jason Press A dialog and an question and answer with David Hoffmeister focusing on the topic of the application of ACIM metaphysics versus an intellectual understanding. At some point it becomes clear that the intellectual understanding of a theology does not mean that one is in the full experience of what the ideas point to. Being truly honest with one's own experience and even exposing thoughts to a brother are important first steps in the authentic application of the metaphysics. The Happy Dream is the goal of the Course and if one is not fully in the experience of that, there are still unconscious beliefs and values being protected in the mind. http://www.media-library.us/podcast/014_going_for_peace_of_mind.mp3 Mon, 19 Apr 2010 16:00:00 EST 00:31:53 a course in miracles, metaphysics, peace of mind, practical application, unconscious beliefs, depression, david hoffmeister, private thoughts Kerri Lake and Jason Press Authorship defines what you are. The belief that you can author yourself is the authority problem. God is the Author of All that is Eternal and Real. Who is the author of A Course in Miracles and What is the difference between Jesus and Christ? A careful exploration of what is real and unreal is necessary to unravel the authority problem. What does authorship imply? Who authored ACIM? Is Jesus the voice in A Course in Miracles and is he the Christ? These questions are explored in depth; includes a reading from the Clarification of Terms section of ACIM. http://www.media-library.us/podcast/015_jesus_authorship_acim.mp3 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 18:00:00 EST 00:23:41 a course in miracles, metaphysics, channeling, author, authorship, helen schucman, bill thetford, jesus, christ, david hoffmeister, eternal Kerri Lake and Jason Press The ego is clever in it's defense against the truth. It will even try to misuse spirituality to prevent against it's undoing. It does not know what freedom is. This essay on some common defenses of the ego go deeply into some of the sneakiest defenses that the ego will use - perhaps it's sneakiest being the use of spirituality. Attraction and repulsion to "personal" teachers is one in the same. Truth and illusions can never be reconciled. Honest is the full recognition that you are not a person, but a whole mind. Freedom is the light within. http://www.media-library.us/podcast/016_common_ego_defenses.mp3 Sat, 01 May 2010 20:00:00 EST 00:15:07 a course in miracles, metaphysics, teachers, defenses, ego, resistance, unreal, enlightenment, spirituality, david hoffmeister Kerri Lake and Jason Press Looking at definitions of the Holy Spirit as used in A Course in Miracles; an introduction to the concept of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit goes by many descriptions in A Course in Miracles. This podcast is a selection of excerpts from A Course in Miracles selected to provide a general understanding of what the Holy Spirit is and how the Holy Spirit works.

The ego’s complexity makes A Course In Miracles a difficult course for most of its students and teachers, yet Wisdom reveals the simplicity of A Course In Miracles. Until peace of mind is a consistent experience, be assured that one of the two ego categories of errors is still being valued and chosen. And this means that something of the world still holds value and attraction. http://www.media-library.us/podcast/020_releasing_common_errors.mp3 Fri, 26 May 2010 20:00:00 EST 00:25:35 a course in miracles, level confusion, errors, ego, metaphysical, transfer of training, david, hoffmeister, holy spirit, awakening, enlightement Kerri Lake and Jason Press Lisa gives an intimate discussion on her experience of waking to the Love within. She talks about her relationship with David Hoffmeister and some very important principles of the awakening process. The awakening is highly individualized. The Holy Spirit answers when there is a sincere invitation to enter into the mind, for it's healing. Miracles are always in abundance! Joy is our only function. http://www.media-library.us/podcast/021_an_awakening_journey_with_lisa_fair.mp3 Fri, 27 Oct 2010 16:00:00 EST 01:14:48 a course in miracles, lisa, fair, healing, joy, light, love, projection, monastery, david, hoffmeister, holy spirit, awakening, enlightement Kerri Lake The power of exposing the ego's belief system through relationships, releasing the "mother" concept and looking at specialness and empathy. Lisa Fair and Kerri Lake hold a gathering in Santa Monica, CA. Lisa talks about her experience meeting David Hoffmeister and how she came to be at Living Miracles Monastery. The main topics discussed in this gathering include the exposing of the ego belief system through relationships where nothing remains hidden and how this brings the experience of the one mind; the experience of letting go of the "mother" concept and her current relationship with her children; defining specialness; the release of specialness in family; seeing the valuelessness of the ego; questioning anything that blocks your decision for joy and for God. http://www.media-library.us/podcast/022_self_concept_and_true_empathy.mp3 Sun, 14 Nov 2010 22:00:00 EST 01:11:45 a course in miracles, lisa fair, self concept, specialness, david hoffmeister, private thoughts, joy, god, love, prayer, children Kerri Lake To "Know Thyself" is the purpose for everything. Kerri Lake gives the first sermon of the year at Living Miracles Monastery in Duchesne, UT. The topic is "Know Thyself". Our forgotten identity is at the root of every seeming problem. It's the ultimate form of amnesia, the made-up self that is a replacement for the true Identity that is God given. The mind has literally forgotten that it is mind, it has forgotten it's power and it's Source. We look to others for the answers and worshipped idols, denying the Power and the Glory that lies within. All of us have been waiting for something or someone to show us the truth of ourselves. The time has come and it is up for us to say, "I am the ONE!". Knowing Thyself is to know your brother and to know God. http://www.media-library.us/podcast/023_lmm_service_jan02_2011.mp3 Sun, 02 Jan 2011 17:00:00 EST 01:00:28 a course in miracles, kerri Lake, self concept, know thyself, false idols, church service, neo, oracle, living miracles monastery, utah, joy, function, glory, power, identity, love
