A Course in Miracles - People Are Thoughts




Enjoy this excerpt from a transcribed talk from the awakened joyful mind of David Hoffmeister, a profound and uncompromising A Course in Miracles teacher.

One of the things I opened up with today is the nondual idea from A Course in Miracles, that people aren't really people, they're just thoughts. If you think about all the struggle and pain and misery in human relationships it's because of the belief that you're a person and that there are other people and they don't go together very well on this planet, or any planet for that matter, any reality, even in science fiction! The Klingons never get on with the Romulans and they never get along with the Borg, you know, even when we're off into Star Trek, in other realms, the beings are not getting along. Even George Lucas; Star Wars, it wasn't star harmony it was Star Wars and the 'dark side' and Darth Vader. It wouldn't make much of a story or a drama if it was - la la la la la la la (singing) la la la la la la live for today, hey! La la la la la la la live for today and don't worry about tomorrow anyway.

That makes for a beautiful song and a beautiful movie if that's what you want and, if you want drama and conflict, there's wars and all kinds of interpersonal conflicts. Jesus says in A Course in Miracles,  the world is very tired - this tiny mad idea has been playing out over and over, like in Groundhog Day, it just loops and loops. You just get bored with it, you get tired with it, you try to find distractions but they only work for a while and then they don't even work. You can't even distract yourself very well because after a while it's tiring.

I'm going to start off our voyage tonight with that clip from Solaris and it's called 'partial memories'. This is the scene where Red is speaking and the George Clooney character is just beginning to discover that what he thinks of as his wife, who committed suicide, who's coming back into his awareness, she's really there with him now. Somehow she killed herself and now she's back there around Solaris. But she's going to be teaching that she's not a whole person; she's just a reflection or a projection of his memories, of what he thought of her. This is one of the reasons why reincarnation will never work, because any time we're trying to find reality or any kind of sense of meaning in linearity, we're looking for meaning where it can't be found.

Linear time was invented by the ego so that you would never know meaning; it's actually what Jesus calls in A Course in Miracles, an impossible situation. So what happens when you try to order an impossible situation, even with a reincarnation perspective to try to make some meaning out of the whole thing, is; you're trying to bring meaning to the impossible. And the whole teaching of forgiveness in A Course in Miracles  is you come to see the impossible as impossible, no longer keep trying to find meaning in the impossible, which is very frustrating.

ACIM and the Mystical Teachings of Jesus

Following the mystical teachings of Jesus, our approach focuses on the Guidance of the Spirit, which acts as an inner compass allowing the form of the path to be given moment by moment. This is a practical, direct, and single-pointed approach, like ACIM,  a course in miracles  where absolutely everything in our daily lives is used for one Purpose: to come to the experience of true freedom. The Spirit meets us where we believe we are, unwinding and taking us deeper and deeper into an expansion of the mind to the awareness that there is no separate self. Stepping stones were Given to gently bring us along the path into the Present moment, where the idea of a path disappears in the release of all concepts and the recognition that there was never anything wrong (and no path to walk on)! To dive deeper into an experience of prayer with Jesus and to better hear the guidance that is given, sink into  The Mystical Teachings of Jesus  prayer-meditation book compiled by...

Canada Goose Jeckets

The final portion of this accidental marketing success of Canada Goose has, up until quite recently become the scarcity of the goods. For a long time, if a shop ran out of a particular size or style of jacket, it might take quite some time for a replacement order to be filled. While Canada Goose still a relatively exclusive manufacturer, the clothing is currently more widely available in online shops, such as Choice.  Canada Goose Jeckets , gilets and beanies are world renowned for their warmth and comfort and their down-filled parkas and fur hood bomber jackets have featured in several films and have become normal outwear for film crews on movie stars on location everywhere it is chilly. There is also an extensive assortment of Canada Goose women's coats and coats, including women's parka coats that have a sleek A-line design, fur lined hood along with a suede lining, and there are some very smart looking women's gilets in the scope also. The Canada Goose brand conti...
