Best Spiritual Movies

Awakening with the Movies
David Hoffmeister uses the best spiritual movies as modern-day parables. Jesus shared his profound wisdom, light, and love through the use of parables. He taught from a fishing boat, from the mount, during meals, or anywhere he was amongst people. He was a public mystic; his was a ministry that demonstrated the Christ. Jesus used parables because he wanted people to be able to relate to his teachings.


David uses movies as teaching demonstrations because people can relate to them; while watching a movie they can relax and let their hearts open up. Watching movies is an enjoyable way to wake up and heal. It is not as threatening as being, for example, in a family situation or confrontational relationship. The best spiritual movies can help to “collapse time” in the sense that they can be used to get in touch with the unconscious in an experiential way.

A Course in Miracles Online

A Course in Miracles is a vibrant non-dual program to heal and awaken the mind. For me, after decades of seeking, it was the answer to the deepest call of my heart. It brought clarity to the seeming discrepancies between it and the Judeo-Christian theology I was born into, and is a very clear and practical program for undoing all the blocks to awakening to your true identity—to Oneness.

A Course in Miracles works directly with the mind to release all thoughts of judgment, guilt, sickness, fear, and death (the ego thought-system) through forgiveness and miracles. This mind-training program brings you into a deeper relationship with your internal teacher, so it can guide you through this cleansing and purifying process. This returns the mind back to its natural, awakened state.

With willingness to question every thought and value that I hold, A Course in Miracles promises that its teachings cannot fail! I am blown wide-open with gratitude and love for this book and for the clear teachings of David Hoffmeister.  They are unwinding me from the cruel and harsh belief in a world of victims and victimizers that I perceived, to a new way of seeing, and of being more consistently aware, joyful, and at peace!

Non Duality Teachers | Non Dual Teachers

 

Non Duality Teachers and the Belief in the World.

The Awakening path and the teachings of all non duality teachers comprise a system of thought that points to a fundamental intrinsic oneness of mind—an experience of pure Awareness without separation.

If the goal of Awakening is for an experience of pure awareness or oneness, then the world of form seen as separate objects must be an expression of duality. Anything that reinforces this will cover over the oneness that you are. David Hoffmeister, one of the most consistent and clearest contemporary teachers of non-dualism has been saying for a quarter of a century that the world is a “distractive device” for the mind. A life busy manipulating the world while trying to discover who you are, will not work. But there is something inside of you that intuitively knows oneness is real! David Hoffmeister, one of the many western non duality teachers, has consistently taught the whole untainted picture of the Awakening journey. His gentle manner and happy tune is a delight for those whose eyes have grown tired of the bustling activity of the world’s ways.


We are one and we are not separate. Yet, to be able to discover the reality of our awakened living presence, we will have to question everything that we hold valuable.
