In this week’s movie workshop, we are watching Robert Redford’s “The Legend of Bagger Vance.” David Hoffmeister says this movie is a classic on the theme of following the Holy Spirit’s guidance moment-by-moment, thus allowing us to wake up from the dream of life and our apparent problems!

David Hoffmeister began his journey to spiritual Enlightenment in 1986 when he encountered A Course in Miracles and recognized it as the tool he had been seeking for a radical transformation of his mind and perceptions. Highly inspired by Christian mysticism, Advaita Vedanta, and the desire of many to live a life of devotion, communities have sprung up around the world that follow Hoffmeister’s very practical Awakening Mind teachings. His teachings are for everyone, and he spans all traditions by utilizing common ground like movies as modern-day parables and the shift in scientific theory from the Newtonian to quantum world view.

As an introduction to the Turkish movie ‘In Your Dreams,’ David discusses the importance of mind training and clearing the mind. He explains that everything we experience in the world is a projection of our belief system, and it is crucial to be aware of this.

David and Kirsten discuss the power of the mind and how everything results from our wishes and desires. Exploring the concepts of mind-training and miscreation, they discuss the misuse of our God-given creative power, emphasizing the power of letting go into the vastness of our minds. This is the first “Mystical Community Living” Retreat session at the Monastery In-person Retreat with David Hoffmeister & Kirsten Buxton.
