 There's been quite a whirlwind around events and activities for Living Miracles and especially in Mexico and Utah And so we just felt to get together today and just share some of those inspiring ideas You can check the events page for Living Miracles.org to really get the low down on everything that's happening There's so much and we're not going to so much go into that today But really focus on what we're doing here at the Metaphysical Center in Canvas, Utah Which we just flew in, you know, just a day or two ago for this mission We're like on a two-month mission here to do a lot of live stream videos and Retreats and so we just thought we would just be very clear today about what's happening for a online retreat a live stream that's happening in January. I believe it's January 12 Let's get the dates right and Yeah, just the theme is awakening from the dream And so I just thought we've we're together here and it would be so fun to just kind of go deeply into what you can expect from that retreat and The online retreats are very deep, you know, sometimes you think because It's online and it's not in physical proximity But what we have found and what we've experienced is that they actually do quite and go quite deep and people from all around the World can join in and it makes it possible and it's easier financially, too So maybe we could just talk about some of the themes of the retreat, which is Awakening from the dream, which is what we're all about. So Maybe you could just share with us some of the we're also talking about some of the obstacles that people come across on their spiritual journey And especially because there's so much information out there now You can just click the buttons on YouTube and go from teacher to teacher and we're just finding that In an authentic spiritual path There has to be a certain amount of focus in order to receive the experience of what the courses point us to and that's what we're all about Is we're all about the experience? Yeah, I would say that the first thing that's coming to mind is I just was down in Brazil and so we had a number of people on the screen there for live-streaming during a retreat and I Noticed that during the weekend and then especially at the end there was there was a lot of emotions I could see the emotions on the faces because all I had to do is glance to my left and look at the screen and see all the faces Tears a lot of emotions coming up So the first thing that came to mind was that we have a mutual friend in France And he was saying that he has not been able to let his Emotions up. He doesn't have people around him to talk to And this is a very deep journey and the spirit can bring people together and does bring people together for witnessing for Presence for that stillness for a space the spaciousness to let up what's concerning you the struggles the issues in more of a Spiritual or metaphysical context not necessarily complaining not blaming But just these very very intense emotions that have to come to the surface and he's been Worked with this in the past and he was just saying I really want to come and join in More because I need that I need to be able to talk about that. So there was one woman at the very end of the Brazil retreat who just cried and cried but She felt so Connected she felt so loved. She felt it touched such a deep space in her heart She had so much love coming up. She just had tears streaming down her face and then turns out our translator Juliana was was best friends with her and lives Right near her and she said oh That's my best friend and she wanted to read to me this long testimonial that she gave and she's The woman was basically just Buddhist wasn't a course of Miracle student at all had just joined in on the live stream I've been saying David is a bodhisattva And I felt the presence of the bodhisattva and then it allowed me to get in touch with my Emotions and let all this up and she felt so healed and so much love and that's one thing that can happen with these Livestreaming weekends. It's not just like a couple hour event. It's not some kind of talk or lecture We have so many people that have so many Skills and abilities that have gone through so many things that when you're together online With people from all over the world and with great translation available then it's very intimate and it's not anything like Something people think of a digital thing is kind of a sterile and you know just internet, but it's it's not that Yeah, I like what you said. It's it's not just like Like a seminar this really is an online retreat and a retreat takes you deep into your mind That's what we've we've done so many retreats over the years residential retreats, but these there's something very Unique what happens with the online retreats? And so that's what we feel is kind of the wave of the future because You know the travel and the security and all this kind of stuff that goes on This is just a very simple and we ask that you like really prepare your space That you really enter this like as if you're going to a residential retreat You let your loved ones know that you're going to be in retreat so that you can really Receive the true gift of it and like you said there's going to be you know several different Sessions with like experiential type sessions. We feel like it's all experiential Like it's not somebody just standing up there and expounding on the teachings But we really want to go deep into what's keeping the mind from accepting the atonement What's truly keeping the mind what's in the blocks to the loves awareness and and to just kind of really Go into that and see where there might be some traps that we've fallen into because A lot of people have been on this path for quite some time And we always say if you're not deepening then you're not really doing the practice of a course of miracles It's really about that application, isn't it? Yeah, if you don't really feel that quickening in your heart that opening that expansiveness that depth and that profound experience and direct experience then Oftentimes you could say we've just kind of caught in an ego holding pattern or Feel a bit of stagnation a bit of like you're treading water, but you're not really swimming. You're not really moving Um, you're just kind of keeping afloat and that's very typical to the world You know like a survival thing just trying to survive keep alive stay alive Whereas this is very vibrant and very direct and you can bring up your issues You can bring up your questions and we can take some time to Work at those issues and really expose and go a little bit deeper in that so I think it's From those of you who've been on living miracles virtual, you know that experience We've had some that are right here with us right now virtual experience and And always the spirit would use what's available like we have thoroughly enjoyed our Time there in Mexico, but it's not quite geared to this kind of online webinar. We're working always staying open and the spirits always Uh maximizing everything that that seems to be informed because that's how the spirit uses symbols always maximizing everything And that was the feeling when we came here Was there was a tremendous opportunity To connect with people all over the world in a very deep way. I know for myself I've almost got a little bit of a backlog of of request, uh, jennifer headley wanting me on her show Ren's up go wanting to do a podcast A friend Donna from Reese wanting to do kind of a a skype call with her course of miracles group They're working on a lot of things Carol howl Yeah, coming up. It's just kind of been queued up And so me coming back up here gives me a chance to honor those invitations and also to do these three very deep profound Weekends, okay. Well now that he's brought it up. There's three Weekends secondively In january So it's really start and it's going to be in different languages spanish and port and portuguese So the first one the one that we're focused on right now is for the english Just straight english, uh, no translations into different languages And we're really looking at it as starting the new year with clarity In your spiritual path and and commitment because it really does take a commitment To this path to actually receive the gifts of the experience It's great to know all the things and we've all studied for a lot of years It's like really we want to go deeper into the experience. So that's really what all this is about and we just really Invite you wholeheartedly There's something really amazing that happens when it's like this international group of people that get on the Online and you're there and and hopefully you've set the space for yourself and you can just really Use this as a gift to yourself to receive the gifts of the spirit. There's nothing more important. There's nothing more Uh worthy of your mind's attention. So we just really invite you fully into this experience with us Yes And it's great to have the goal of waking up from the dream Instead of just trying to get by in the dreams to have a better dream or you know, of course people Have those desires But but when you bring the context of waking up from the dream and really forgiving the world And having that happy dream of non-judgment that is no small Thing at all and then when you come together with those that are really joined in that goal Then you can feel the vibrancy and the The high energy that comes with going for that high goal Yeah, knowing that you don't do this on your own The course Jesus tells us that mighty companions will come And so here here we are. We're right by your side and we're just like really inviting everybody in so Thank you so much. Yeah, beautiful Thank you
