David Hoffmeister

Welcome David Hoffmeister to Pure Presence: Herein Lies the Peace of God. This week Bill and David talk about David’s traveling schedule a little bit as he just returned from Mexico putting a community together where the messengers and Living Miracles Ministry can join together in one place for gatherings and retreats. David is inspired to organize support for the Foundation for Inner Peace this month as our elders in the Course Community and in gratitude and honoring the ones who came before us to bring us the Course. Today's show is a casual encounter with Bill and Daivd as they remember Bill first coming to the monastery in Utah more than 10 years ago and the impact it had on Bill's path in awakening.

"We only experience what we offer to others. And you will experience exactly to the degree what you do offer."—Carol Howe Today's show is an interview with celebrated ACIM teacher Carol Howe. She has a fascinating conversation with Amy and Bill about "Healing Through Relationships," a.k.a. forgiveness. The Q&amp;A includes several questions from the live audience, then Carol guides us into a Peace of God Experience that offers immediate transformation.

Healing Through Relationships

The topic of today's show is "Christ Vision" and how deeply we can surrender to seeing with Spirit, rather than through the ego's eyesight. As always, there is a Q&amp;A (this time Amy has a question) and the show concludes with a powerful immersion in the Peace of God Experience. Christ Vision has one law. It does not look upon a body and mistake it for the Son whom God created.

The Gift of Christ Vision

As a born-again Christian for more than 20 years before finding A Course in Miracles, Bill had an idea in his mind about Satan. What a relief it was for him to realize it really (is or isn't?) about negative thoughts and beliefs—it's about the ego! Today we discuss the ego and right in the middle of the conversation a Peace of God Experience happens spontaneously. You don't want to miss it! Plus, our question covers whether it's okay to be a Course student while despising the world and the people in it. Last but not least, you are guided through tasting the nectar and smelling the exquisite aroma of your God Self.

Rupert Spira

This week is Part 2 of the dialogue interviews Rishi and Amey Torres share from the retreat in San Francisco with well-known Advaita Teacher and what I will call the wisdom of an Advaita and nondual teacher, Master Rupert Spira. As you listen this week Rupert unpacks more wisdom and rich insights interpreting major themes from A Course in Miracles and the Advaita similarities. Rishi and Amy have both been teachers/students and facilitators of the Course for a long time. They both talk about this retreat experience like wow—this is just what the Course or Mooji have been sharing, only spoken in a little different way. This week will give you great Insights into resolving all of your most difficult situations and questions, including relationships, choice, and listening to your deepest love and understanding (the Holy Spirit or internal guide), and what that looks like. Enjoy this awesome Part 2 of the  two talks where A Course in Miracles meets Rupert Spira.

Rupert Spira and Amy Torres

This week, and for the next three weeks, Rishi and Amy Torres will share from the unique experience they shared while on a one-week retreat in San Francisco with well-known Advaita Teacher. We'll discuss what I will call the "wisdom of an Advaita" and nondual teacher, Master Rupert Spira. As you listen to the interview, it becomes obvious that although the language and even the symbols may be different, the content and the pointing remain the same. In this talk, Amy and Rishi introduce several workbook lessons from the Course. l sit back with pure joy to hear it reworded by Rupert using metaphors from Sufism, Bhagavad Gita, Ramana, and more as he describes the universal nature of the truth. Rishi and Amy have both been teachers/students and facilitators of the Course for a long time. They both talk about this retreat experience like wow! This is just what the Course or Mooji have been sharing, only spoken in a little different way from a world-renowned nondual expert. Rupert says in this dialogue that the highest pursuit is to know the Ultimate nature of your own Divine Mind. Anyone who knows their self knows the world. As Course students, we ask Rupert Spira to give his explanation of the well-known Course answer to the question (and this is how the dream seemed to happen): Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny, mad idea, at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh. In his forgetting 0to laugh0, did the thought become a serious idea, and possible of both accomplishment and real effects (T-27.VITI.6:2-3)? One thing you will walk away with for sure is the simplicity of enlightenment for all of humankind. Enjoy this awesome! Part One of the talks where A Course in Miracles meets Rupert Spira.

Rishi on Retreat

Rishi and David will discuss their first meeting in 2009 in the mountains of Utah at the Living Miracles Monastery. Rishi describes the impact this one event had on his life that changed everything. Rishi asks David, "In your opinion, what is the difference between mind training and self-realization?" David talks about the similarities between A Course in Miracles and self-realization … Do we have an addiction to linear time? Good question ...

During this interview Mooji talks about a new phase of Sahaja, which I (Rishi) have also been a witness to even in these weeks that I am here at Monte Sahaja. The Ashram is fully the Presence of the Guru and somehow holds the Sacred essence of its Master and coccreator, Sri Guruji. In this beautiful interview Mooji speaks about Sahaja and the spontaneous development of this Ashram that is a Gift of God to the world. You won’t want to miss this interview with Guruji. All of His talks are great! And this one gives a little background about some of the key fixtures of Sahaja like the Temple created in honor of Sri Poonja (Papaji) Mooji’s Master, Sri Ramana, and many other sages who are honored at Mount Yes. And then Sri Guruji speaks of Christ Chapel, which is almost completed at the Ashram in the upper Himalayas. This interview offers rare insights from the Master Himself about Sahaja and an Ashram whose time is come for the Great! Awakening on the planet.

John Mark is a student and teacher of A Course in Miracles, Way of Mastery, and A Course of Love. He has a very clear awareness of nondual teachings as well because this is where he lives from. This is a delightful opportunity to listen to a modern-day mystic. You will hear John Mark and Rishi talk about the experience of Pure Presence, the Joy of being Free. They talk about the experience that sex may have on the mind of the spiritual seeker and some of the effects it has had on their own lives. The mind uses sex and money to tempt the belief in guilt and self-judgment. It’s an old story that nobody wants to talk about, but these two are very open about it.
