A Course In Miracles: Manifesting, David Hoffmeister, ACIM

  • 0:05 - 0:08
    We are talking about manifesting,
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    you can't!
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    God did not create you
  • 0:13 - 0:14
    to manifest!
  • 0:15 - 0:17
    You have absolutely
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    no power of mind to manifest
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    and what is manifesting?
  • 0:21 - 0:23
    Manifesting but wanting!
  • 0:23 - 0:24
    What we just say
  • 0:24 - 0:25
    you want to empty
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    your mind of wanting,
  • 0:27 - 0:28
    you know.
  • 0:28 - 0:29
    More of what?
  • 0:29 - 0:31
    I want to manifest
  • 0:31 - 0:32
    more of this in my life,
  • 0:32 - 0:34
    more of that in my life.
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    Who's doing the manifesting,
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    The spirit of the ego!
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    Let's talk straight here!
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    Is the Spirit a manifestor.
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    Ohhhh no,
  • 0:45 - 0:46
    the Spirit,
  • 0:46 - 0:48
    is the "I AM PRESENCE OF GOD"
  • 0:48 - 0:49
    and the Spirit
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    is not a manifestor!
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    You don't have the power to manifest.
  • 0:54 - 0:56
    Even, in the Course
  • 0:56 - 0:57
    he says, the teaching from the Bible
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    the word was made flesh,
  • 0:59 - 1:00
    Jesus says,
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    strictly speaking,
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    this is impossible!
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    That's Jesus's words,
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    impossible.
  • 1:08 - 1:09
    You can't manifest!
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    You've never been able to manifest
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    the damn thing.
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    So, why work at it?
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    Why try to use the power
  • 1:17 - 1:18
    of your mind
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    to make something different in form,
  • 1:21 - 1:22
    when the form is the past?
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    You think you can make a better version of the past?
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    Do you think anyone
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    has ever succeeded in making
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    a better version of the past?
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    Do you think you can improve upon illusions?
  • 1:34 - 1:35
    When illusions...
  • 1:35 - 1:36
    The very meaning of illusions
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    is nothing!
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    How can you make a better nothing?
  • 1:40 - 1:41
    Really?!
  • 1:42 - 1:45
    It's so fair for who could that understand that logic!
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    Making a better nothing!
  • 1:47 - 1:48
    So, we're not
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    into the power of manisfesting,
  • 1:50 - 1:52
    we're into the power of joy!
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    Power of happiness,
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    and we really start to see
  • 1:56 - 1:57
    that, you know,
  • 1:57 - 1:58
    people would say, well you...
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    how can you live your life
  • 2:00 - 2:01
    if you not trying to improve
  • 2:01 - 2:02
    the world?
  • 2:03 - 2:04
    You know!
  • 2:04 - 2:05
    It's easy!
  • 2:06 - 2:08
    It's really easy.
  • 2:08 - 2:09
    To live that way,
  • 2:09 - 2:10
    it's difficult
  • 2:10 - 2:11
    to try to continue
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    to mix metaphors
  • 2:13 - 2:16
    and spiritualized matter.
  • 2:16 - 2:18
    You know, that's what manifesting
  • 2:18 - 2:19
    is an attempt to do.
  • 2:19 - 2:22
    It's attempt to spiritualized matter
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    as we talked about the other day.
  • 2:24 - 2:25
    It's just...
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    it's not possible,
  • 2:27 - 2:28
    and the joy comes from
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    seeing that you need to compromise.
  • 2:31 - 2:32
    So...
