"Awakening from the Dream: Embracing Atonement and the Illusion of Time" - A Tribe of Christ Movieworshop Commentary by David Hoffmeister

 The workbook lesson of the day, lesson 139, on accepting atonement for ourselves, is synchronized with this movie workshop, which shows the end of choice.

Jesus's teachings about perception 2,000 years ago emphasize the importance of distorted perception. When our minds are asleep and when we dream of exile from God, our perception is distorted. This distorted perception leads to delusions, distortions, and fantasies, which are fiction and unreal. The defining characteristic of linear time and space is their unrealness.

The ego, a tricky puff of nothingness, makes up illusions and dreams, covering itself in the unconscious mind. This complex world of time and space is temporary, constantly shifting and changing. The first change experienced was the fall from grace, as there is no such thing as change in heaven. Jesus tells us that as we move toward the light in our spiritual awakening, we still experience fear associated with every change. This fear and terror often arise when we move towards the light beneath the darkness. Jesus emphasizes that we cannot judge our advances from our retreats; we must move toward the light.

“The Illusion of Time: Unraveling Ego, Guilt, and Unconditional Love” -  David Hoffmeister in a Tribe of Christ Movie Commentary.

Today’s movie talk invites us to dissolve past attachments and judgments, which is a common human experience marked by guilt, fear, and pain. Undoing Special Relationships and Clearing Away the Cobwebs of the Past. For years, films have guided us toward enlightenment, emphasizing the importance of the present—the closest thing to eternity. Mystics and sages, like Ram Dass and Eckhart Tolle, urge us to live in the now, the gateway to eternity. Yet, staying present is challenging; our minds wander to the past or future, which are merely distractions from the now. Jesus taught that the past is over and the future is imagined, both defenses against the present. We must break free from this cycle, recognizing that the past is not our current reality. The journey is inward, to embrace and love the present moment.

Awakening to Spirit: Embracing Eternity Beyond the Ego’s Realm

The movie workshop addresses the authority problem, which refers to believing in a world separate from the Spirit. This belief can lead to death, sickness, suffering, and pain, as well as ego rebellion. Jesus' teachings emphasize that we are guilty in time and guiltless in eternity. 

The movie workshop also highlights the importance of understanding oneself in the environment in which we were created, namely the Spirit. The cosmos and world are the ego's playing field, with our schedule like a football game. Moving closer to pure nonjudgment makes us feel like our life is not ours.

We are birthed in God, and we value the images of time and space less. As we forgive, we grow deeper into forgiveness and burst into laughter, resulting from inner joy and innocence. This journey toward spiritual awakening can be long and challenging, but the reward is beyond everything we can imagine.

"The Divine Script: Exploring Destiny Through Cinema" - A Tribe of Christ Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister

Today's movie journey delves deeply into the metaphysical realm, intertwining comedy with the profound exploration of destiny. As we embark on this cinematic voyage, we're invited to ponder the intricate tapestry of existence, where destiny guides our ultimate purpose: knowing God and recognizing our divine identity.

In David's narrative, destiny transcends the limitations of time and space, echoing teachings found in spiritual texts such as Workbook Lesson 158. The Holy Spirit leads us on a journey of self-discovery, unraveling the mysteries of destiny. Drawing parallels to cinematic works like "Family Man," the film explores the notion of parallel universes and the multiverse, where Jesus orchestrates an array of potential lifetime scenarios.

These scenarios, unfolding simultaneously, challenge conventional perceptions of time and offer a glimpse into the boundless nature of existence. Through the cinematic medium, we are reminded that the true purpose of time is to lead us to the realization that time itself is an illusion. As we immerse ourselves in this metaphysical odyssey, guided by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, we are beckoned to awaken to the eternal present moment, where destiny unfolds in harmony with the divine plan.

"Quantum Love and the Power of Transformation"—Easter Retreat's third Final Session with David, Lisa, Kirsten, Jason, and Erik.

David and his guests discuss forgiveness as a miracle, transforming us into newness and aliveness. This newness is present in our hearts, as the past is gone, making us feel present and alive, and that we are joined in this holy instant to be used and share the good news of this transformation. They recall their childhood experiences of Easter, where they were lost in something, but today, they realize the power of the resurrection and the opportunity to experience this transformation.

They also discuss unconditional love, which is not limited to the ego boxes but rather expansive love that cannot be squeezed into these boxes. Forgiveness is about letting go of the past and experiencing purity and innocence. Quantum love, a theme song in their community, is another example of unconditional love.

Quantum love is a mysterious field of energy that connects everything in the universe, unlike the traditional definitions of love. Quantum physicists were afraid to publish their findings because they couldn't understand them. Einstein, for example, was scared of the quantum field, calling it "spooky action at a distance."

The Jesus: A Gospel of Love Easter Retreat, held from March 29-31, was a transformative three-day in-person event at La Casa de Milagros in Chapala, Mexico. During this retreat, David Hoffmeister unveiled the true essence of Jesus as a symbol of pure love through enlightening talks, parables, Q&As, a movie shared with profound commentary, and inspiring live music.

David and Urpi share what is the Purpose of releasing the world in experience. Speaking from hearts joined and using examples of symbols of the world, the experience emerges. Using movies, songs, and a Netflix series of episodes called “3 body problem” they talk about the dismantling of faulty perception, false identity, and release of the past. The fear of the ego has already been replaced by the freedom of Divine Mind. Our Identity is in Christ and our Creator. Only Love is Real.
