 We're going to have some logistics to start us off with here before we get into this evening's program. That's the mic you're going to use over there? Translator. Translator? Yeah. Okay, very good. You want the mic for yourself? Yes. Translate for me. What David just said. La Bel has done a great job as a writer. I don't know what to say. La Bel has done a great job as a writer. Welcome. Bienvenidos. The festival of Viva la Vida Retreat. Bienvenidos a los platinos. It's all Spanish. She's going easy on the first line. Yeah, it was felt that we were going to have the logistics first because it can put the mind at rest around how things work here. En el sentido que sería mejor poner un asunto de logística primero para así poder viajar a realmente descansar. And I think I've met everybody here. I am the steward at La Casa de Milagros, originally from the United States. Creo que me he encontrado con todos los mundos que está aquí. Estos son helades encargadas por la Casa de Milagros y son de Estados Unidos. And we have about 15 people signed up for the retreat and about half of you are coming in every day. So some of the things I might go over will only be applied to the ones that are staying the nights here over the weekend. One thing that I've told many of you is that the ones that live here, we live quite devotional lives. And you come in here to this retreat as an invitation to join us in that vibe. Just some general logistics. There's a public bathroom just right up at the little pathway here. And all of you should have received an agenda for the weekend and we just ask that you arrive to the sessions on time. For those of you that are staying in the evening, we will have a quiet time in the area beginning at 10 p.m. We have many people that are spending the night there. We won't have lights out at 11 p.m. in the rooms. If you find that you can't sleep, you're just awake and you need some space. You're welcome to come here into the halo room. And then in the morning, we ask that it just be more or less a quiet time for all of us until the first session at 9 a.m. And there was a request about the people coming in from off-site if they could attend the meditation in the morning. And I guess that would be fine if they could arrive by 8.05. That's the Abby's area, so I had to go up there. As far as the 9 a.m. joining in the morning, we're going to have two expression sessions. One for English speakers, which will be here in the halo room at 9 a.m. in the morning. And one for the Spanish speaking people, which will be in the library, which is located right next to the outdoor dining room, dining area. Jopala is a beautiful little town. And for those of you that would like to go and walk around, it's very safe. We do lock the door at 10 p.m. at night just so you have that in your awareness. As far as showers, you can take any time between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. at night. As far as the different sessions that we have during the day, Andy will be gonging the gong once for sessions and twice for meals. Many of the people that are coming in just for the day sessions will be going out to eat. So we'll be ending a session, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the lunch is ready by then. It is when the gong is being that lunch is ready. And we do serve the meals in the casita kitchen. Many of you have already been through there. It's a buffet style, and then you can either eat breakfast in the casita in the morning or out in the outdoor dining area. Tomorrow we'll have lunch together and we'll be eating in the outside dining area. And then for dinner we'll just be setting out food in the kitchen so it won't be a sit down together meal. We'll have a table in the casita dining room through the day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. with coffee, hot water, and refreshments for our people. From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. we'll have a table in the casita with coffee, hot water, and refreshments for our people. And our clean up crew in the kitchen asks that when you finish with your dishes that you put them next to the sink and they'll take care of them from there. I just want to encourage you to feel free to ask the questions if there's anything that you're not sure about. It just interests the mind when you can have your questions answered. Thank you very much. Thank you. Just a reminder too if you have cell phones please turn it off during the sessions. And also too just for those that are staying on site we have a limited Wi-Fi access here so there will not be Wi-Fi access for participants. Thank you. There is a question about one-on-one, like a counselling session or meeting? So we could get a list and then if you would like a one-on-one meeting that could be on a donation basis? Just on a love offering from what you feel together and then Laverne could have that list. If they're interested in a one-on-one they could let me know. And Jason has said yes, he is available. Yes and I may be available. And then if we're around and we happen to be there of course you can speak freely to us. We don't have to wait to come on your name. This is more for if you really feel something on your heart and you would like someone on one time to explore it and go deeper. But I would encourage you if you feel comfortable to bring your heartfelt question here. Because it will be a blessing for everyone and your question no doubt will be the very question on someone else's heart. And that would be a blessing for everyone and your question no doubt will be the very question on someone else's heart. Do you have any other questions, logistical questions? I'm expecting a call around 9 o'clock about my baggage, so can I leave my phone on? Do you know if I break? Put it inside my break, would you mind? Okay, I've said that before. I asked the question because you can't leave your phone on because you're waiting for a call about a baggage that has been lost. Your luggage is on the way here, from Europe. Okay, I just wanted to start too with a big warm welcome, so grateful to see you and if you've come to be with us this weekend. Yes, it's interesting, we have a long 4th of July weekend and we have a celebration, but we're not planning any fireworks or any independence, but we're going to have a lot of fun. It's Canada's Independence Day today. Jason has reminded me that today is Canada's Independence Day as well. So that has identified all of the Canadians with one swoop. Your hand up to you. I don't believe in independence, or Canada. But, yeah, this will be a very friendly weekend in which, as Kurt said, you can ask any question that comes to your mind. For us, this is just our way of life, the spirit is very practical. So we're not just here for theory or philosophy or for speculation. And also, you should just stay present to what feels most helpful in your mind. If you feel to go to the banjo, then please get up and go, don't hesitate. So although we will cover many things, this is not really a presentation, it's just a warm presence of welcome. For me, I think the teachings of Jesus are extremely simple and they just seem to be difficult to put into practice. So we have been told not to judge and we have been asked because the Holy Spirit judged for us. And so I feel there will be much healing as you relax and settle and learn to trust in a very deep way. That's the greatest gift your mind can have is a state of simple contentment. But we also know that your journeys in this world have been very complex. So that we pray that the Holy Spirit come through and meet the ego's complexity with very simple direct answers. And it takes so much trust just to watch the world and be a passerby. Because the temptation is that there's something to fix or something to change. When in actuality everything is working together for the good, always. There's no mistakes. We have to be guided to be able to see the world in that way. And so this first evening is really our opportunity to listen to you and listen to why you have come here. It is a way of putting your prayer up to the Holy Spirit. To make things very simple and restful. So I'll just start off by introducing myself. I'm David. I have nothing more to say. I'm Kirsten and I have something to say. Yeah, again I want to echo what David has said and to welcome you. And my prayer is that you feel very at home. And that you can just allow yourself to relax and settle. Because I think so much of this journey is about accepting God's will for us. And that is to know our own innocence. So it's very much about letting go of what we think. Where we need to get to. So I feel very grateful that I have received so much support on this journey. These constant refictions of love saying your innocence just relax. Your willingness is enough. You are devoted. Trust. Trust in your devotion. So I feel that I've just had a couple of conversations with some that have arrived in the last two days. And they have shared with me that they keep hearing the egos voiced in their mind saying you're not good enough, you're not getting it. And so I feel this weekend is an opportunity to really shine the light on that doubtful voice. And to offer a lot of support for seeing the egos, patterns or the ways that it seems to limit us from knowing who we are. Because when we let go of these limits that's when we can really realize our inspiration. It's about removing the obstacles to the awareness of love's presence. So together we can become aware of what the obstacles are. And in an atmosphere like this where we're practicing forgiveness and we can see each other's innocence, it's very safe. So I'm very honored to join with you for this weekend. And to be a witness to your innocence. And to help cut through any areas that seem complicated or cloudy. Because the spirit is very clear. Spirit doesn't have any confusion. So when we join together, wanting clarity, it always comes. And that's when our mind lights up in recognition. Enlightenment. So here, thank you. I'm just very, very grateful that you're here. But I'm here with you. Hello. I'm Jason. And I too am very glad you're here. And I feel the same as David and Kersen. Just I pray that you feel safe. And I would love to join with you on a one-on-one sometimes weekend. And now I'd like to pass it back to you. Just to share again what it is on your heart and why you feel you've come. So that the spirit can take that prayer and use it this weekend. I'm here to translate. I'm here to see if my mind can heal. And I'm also here to have a moment of joy. Very nice, isn't it? No, but nothing more to say. Good night. Sanctically, pass it on. Thank you. Thank you. Sincerely, well, I don't know what we're going to receive here in a while. We arrived two days ago. It was the first great tanguy in the community. Well, I and I are meant to spend a time here. And these treaties are great dives into community life. And what I would like to say is that I want to check that I'm really innocent, free and happy, as stated in the letter. I have it more clearly every day, but I want to check it here. I want to check that I'm innocent, free and happy. I'm here to face whatever is not that innocent. And he, could you show your names too? He is Juan and I am Guadalajara. He is from Spain and I am from France. I'm a great team. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here. I thought I wouldn't be able to come. But the Holy Spirit arranged everything. I feel that the sensing very important for me in my awakening is waiting for me here. I feel that the sensing very important for me in my awakening is waiting for me here. The sensing is a lot of sense that I can match to make possible my being as I am only the spirit of the culture. Right now, with what you said, you are a great mirror and we can see ourselves in a mirror where you are putting all of us. And opening up my mind to receive whatever the Holy Spirit wants to give me to see you. Thank you. My name is Sonia. Hola a todos. Mi nombre es que fui Octavio. My name is Jesús Octavio. Hola David. Hi David. Hace 3 años empezamos juntos, invitaste y he estado vivo 3 años. 3 years ago, we started together. You invited me and we had been with you 3 years, 3 years. Navegando y aprendiendo. Sailing and learning. Quisten. Aquí estoy, quisten. Here I am. La corretira se ven y hoy hemos estado juntos. We have been through so many good deeds and we have been together. Oh my God. Oh my God. Yes, son. Es un privilegio para mí. This is our first time working together. Es un privilegio para mí. Poder mirar Sus ojos. Tengo que hablar porque estoy aquí. Pero, sucede que veo con más claridad ahora. It happens that I see more clearly now. El rasgo más suerte de lo que llaman la personalidad. The strongest trait of what is called personality. En 77 años que tengo vida, in my 77 years, ha sido ser pretender ser el número uno. You try to be number one. Cuando yo era niño, me enseñaron conformía después en mi casa, mi maestro, en el ciclo donde yo me movía. Me los echaron de todo mi home, my kitchen, the environment where I was living. Era la importancia de ser el número uno en todos. The importance of being number one in everything. Me lo decía, no sé, cuando a veces salía. I don't know how many times I was told that very late. Yo nunca me imaginé el impacto tan fuerte que iba a provocar esa idea en mi mente. I had to imagine strong impact. La creencia de que soy el número uno en todo lo que hago. I'm number one in anything I do. En escuela. En las notas que me daban en la escuela. In my marks of the school. In school grades. En las actividades que hacía el deporte. In my sports activities. En las conversaciones con mis compañeros. In the talk with my fellow students. En todo, en todo yo quería ser el número uno. I wanted to be number one in everything, everything. Yo no me do cuenta del peso tan fuerte que ha sido eso en mi vida. Now I realize how heavy that has been in my life. Porque si tengo que platicar o enseñar o simplemente conversar con mis amigos. Because if I had to talk or teach or just talk. Me he dado cuenta que no creo en ellos que hay una crítica constante de mi país. I realize I don't believe in them that there is a constant criticism for me. Hablo con ellos pero estoy culturando constantemente. I'm talking to them but I'm permanently judging them. Hací suceder en mi casa con mi pareja. Con mis hijos. Con los compañeros de oficina que tuve ahora estoy retirado pero todos los compañeros de oficina. Y la lucha poco fuerte. Entonces mi semblante, el gorrillo, es un semblante triste. Me he encontrado en la calle a gente que me dice ¿Por qué estás tan serio? People in the street are telling me I had to be also serious. And it's hard to read, it's just crazy. My answer was why are they passing me? And in that very moment I saw the reflection of my face. Porque quiero, a pesar de ser como soy I'm here because in spite of being the way I am I want to be happy. I want to look at you. It's as if it was something that said to me I said I want to be happy, I'm innocent but why am I doing this? How do I make you happy? How do I do it? I want to be happy and I have those spasms happy with those spasms. I know I'm not a body. I know my spirit is light, is love. Pero tengo que ser capaz de aprender a ser feliz primero I must be able to learn to be happy first. Quiero ser feliz. I want to be happy. I want to be. I know, I must do the change. My comfort, the comfort I'm receiving is go to there with it and get with it. Don't hide any shadow. Pero tengo que dar el brinco a la acción Tengo que dar el brinco a permitir que la luz me nube. But I'm the most jumped into action I'm the most allowed to do the right food. Like me. The quantum jump. Quantum, quantum, quantum love. That's my reason to be here and I'm grateful to you for the reasons to understand. I'm the most forgetful, I'm the most forgetful. Thank you for mentioning that. My name is Alicia. I think that I can go for one bit of everything. From what I'm all, we're all. From what I'm all, I'm all. I will learn what I am, and what everyone is, and what everyone is, I am. I came here to discover myself. And I came here to serve myself and to discover who I am. In the mind, in the love of God, in the life of God, in the friendship, in the kindness, in kindness, in kindness. And just a few days ago, I discovered that I'm really abundant. Because it is my being that comes to me just in the right time when I need it. When I learned about this orchard, I told God because He said, if you want me to go, I will. Thank you, thank you for receiving me. I'd like to thank you David, you and your colleagues, for putting us on this conference and sending me your compounds of the community extension you do throughout. So thank you. My name is Dan. My wife and I just flew in from Colorado, exactly in there. I am here to practice. Goinka is a Bapasana meditation teacher that says, I practice because when I lose my balance, I want to fall like a cat and not have two like four. When I was in a seat, you were coding? Goinka, Goinka Bapasana's a meditation teacher. In my store, in the water, I want to practice there. He wants to learn to fall gently. He wants to fall gently. He wants to learn to fall gently. Cristina, what you said, letting go where we want to be and to trust the devotion. Here's why I'm here. There's John and I truly believe in divine design and we were led here to the cameras. What I feel now is this is a place to... Give him a moment to check. Oh. I believe in divine design. We were led here in no expectations. And now I feel that this is a place I feel your heart can be opened and allows a love to flow. I feel that. Thank you. Hi, my name is Deborah. I'm here with my husband, John. Hola, mi nombre es Deborah y estoy aquí con mi marido, John. And we've lived in Ahiheek, the town next door for the last year. Y nos hundimos en Ahiheek, la ciudad de Alado, durante el año. And we've enjoyed a wonderful spiritual community, both there and have been able to join here a number of times. So we have a nice relationship with Casa de Moabra. And when we heard that David would be here for a short time and an opportunity to see Jason again, I did something that Kirsten has taught us to do, pray, listen, follow. I did that, and I listened, and it said I should come and that's why I'm here. I know I'll find out why I'm here So we can, I'm called, but very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here, and I know that you will be here for a long time. I am John. I am John. Welcome, and it's so wonderful to be here with all of our new friends. And David, Jason, Kirsten, and everyone. Thank you so much for being here, putting this on. It's just amazing. Muchas gracias a todos. That's what they call full inclusion. I'm here to remove any blocks from love. So that I can return to God. Who we never left. So this is our devonized plan. This is the last time on this planet. So we're working really hard to get there. So we need all your help. Thank you. No, I'm clear. I was not expecting to speak so much. I'm clear. I don't like to speak in public. I don't like to speak in public. So I'm a little stressed out. I live here since six months. I don't know, I feel like... I feel that this life will bring me here for a new who I am. I don't know, I feel a little... I feel a little stressed out. I'm not a little stressed out. I don't know, I feel a little stressed out. I don't like to speak in public. I don't like to speak in public. Why? Why do you want to speak in public? It's really important to stop this. So to avoid the fear and emotion that... It's not me. I don't know, I'm nervous. It's true that I really want to be free. Stop. Ok. I think if I'm here it's not the fear, I don't know, I just want to feel good tonight, whatever the situation or the people or whatever the movement is that I want to learn to live a very simple life, without worrying about what happens out there, what happens to people and what happens. And I would like to trust and to open, and yes to stop to be in fear and protect myself, or try to hurt myself. Yes. Hola soy Selena. Hey. Hi, my name is Selena. Me siento muy privilegiada de estar en este giro. Me siento muy privilegiado de estar en este giro. Los había visto en video, es la primera vez que los conozco. Y valoro mucho lo que están haciendo. Yo estoy aquí porque desde chiquita estoy buscando mi camino. Tengo una personalidad de altas y bajas. My personality is one of ups and downs. I've been an alcoholic for 18 years without a link. And it's a two steps problem. I know the calls from time. I love them. Pero pienso que mi personalidad es la que no me ha permitido permanecer por mucho tiempo. But I think my personality does not let me stay for long. En un lugar de paz quiero ir arriba y luego por abajo. Y estoy con un medicamento de psiquiatría. I'm taking psychiatric medication. Tuve un evento de psicosis. I had a psychosis. Y bueno, estoy aquí para aprender a que esos lazos te pasen a hacer más lazos. I'm here to learn how to make those times of peace more lasting. Muchas gracias. Thank you very much to everyone. Hola, buenas noches. My name is Gabira. I'm not very fond of speaking. Because I don't know how to express my feelings. I think that's why I am a sprotto. Because my hands are the ones who speak for me. I'm not certain about my reason for being here. I have a slight surprise in my mind. I think I miss my home. And my father? My father. Y a lo que soy. And what I am. Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm also Michelle. And I'm not sure why. I don't know why I'm here. But I'm listening to everyone. I feel myself in all of you. I feel myself in all of you. Because I am in all of you. And I'm here to speak with David. And I'm here to speak with David. And I'm here to speak with David. And to follow him for so long. and living with people who, you know, are for goodness and the power of forgiveness. I want you to know what you are, and what the separation never happened, and to have the confidence to be happy and safe company. My name is Shiloh, I am Canadian, but my husband and I live in Mazatland. It's a gift to be back here so soon, I was able to attend the Calvary retreat two weeks ago. And the Holy Spirit has been doing a lot with me since then. I've really been praying to the Holy Spirit, my blocks of unworthiness and undeserving and inferiority, anything in the way of love, we come up to be healed and transformed or released. And in Calvary I woke up to this idea of divine innocence for the first time. I think I heard it for the first time. And since then it felt very messy, I feel very messy. And Monday was my 8th anniversary with my husband James, and I said to James, happy anniversary, I think we should start planning our divorce. So since then I've been really practicing in a whole new way, no people pleasing and no private thoughts, which is quite radical for me in practice. And amazingly since then I've been totally a piece of the food, which I think I have been using to numb and stuff because I've been people pleasing. And since then, for me a woman has been a radical change in my way of nourishing myself, of nourishing myself in contact with people, which I think has always been a way for me to go through being with people, so what I'd like to get out of this weekend is the tools to take the no people pleasing and the no private thoughts more fully into our relationship. I need clarity about whether we're meant to stay together or part ways. James is an incredible man and I love him deeply. And I want what's best for both of us even if that means being apart. Which scares me out of my wits too. I'm just grateful to be messy and emotional and to be here. My name is James. Life is unpredictable. I feel like being in front of you David was inevitable. We were introduced to your teachings by Brandon Jorge, who you met in Canada. We went to a one day retreat with the people from this center and had a chance to be here just after you set it up. We had the pleasure of meeting Andy and a number of other people who were here at the time. And we had already decided to come to Ajihi and you decided to join us here. You have a very powerful mind James. I'm an expert at people pleasing. My mom used to say I was the best baby so I started early. I'm so good at looking after others. But I've lost myself. It's time to find me again. My name is Jaime. My name is Jaime. My name is Jaime. I'm the same as Claire. Same as Claire speaking in public. This means some stress. But I think that it's part of the purpose of being here. Probably that's part of the purpose for being here. And I'm very happy to meet David. I had a really constructive talk with her. I felt her close to me. I felt the presence of love. But I noticed that I was blocking it. To put an end to the block. To the presence of love. I was talking. He said if you wanted to have peace, happiness. I felt intensively like crying. Because of suffering. Because I felt that when he was explaining what he feels, I saw myself perfect. And now the feeling of fear and insecurity is gone. I'm ready to finish it. To the awareness of the presence of love. I'm ready for you. Jaime. Jaime. I feel the same as Claire in Gabriela and Jaime. I don't like this baking problem. My name is Carla. I'm from here, from Mexico, from Monterey. First of all, I'm very grateful for the opportunity to be here. For the invitation. To the Holy Spirit because actually I am here because of you. I'm here because for everyone's reason right now, what everybody has said, what everybody has shared, that's why I'm here. Yes, so I'm grateful for that often. And basically the Holy Spirit has teaching me through you, David, and in Greece and now, Jason. The simplicity of life, the simplicity of the course. To go back home. So that's why I'm here also. I want to go back home. And that's it. It's like a dream also, within the dream to be here right now and meet you guys personally. And a mighty companion lover. So thank you. And thank you for being here also. Hi my name is Sam. And I'm from England. Terrified of public speaking. My hands are sweating and my heart is beating really fast. And they actually asked me to teach this weekend. They've asked me to teach this weekend. So I don't know how far that's going to go. But I'm willing. I'm not quite sure how I've ended up here other than I've been led by Spirit. And I think that's been an answer to some very deep prayers. Prows of the heart. To know true word. And to be free of fear. And that's why I'm here. That's my prayer. That's what I want to know. And that's what I'm practicing. And the desire to feel home. Feel home and at one with God. And I live in community also. Yeah, it was really touched by your sharing, Shayna. I feel like that's actually what these retreats are all about. To come with such an open heart and open mind to allow the Spirit to show us the way. And that feeling, we're all joined in that healing. You come into experience and it's actually not personal. And yeah, I'm so grateful that you're all here for this weekend. Because it's the answer to my prayer. Because all of you being here is just giving me more opportunities to be in service to the Spirit. And every day I see more and more that that's the only way I can experience true happiness. To be used fully beyond the personal self in any way that will serve, any way that will help them to be done through. Yeah, so I'm just excited about this weekend. I don't know how I'm going to be used, but I'm just very willing and very open for whatever way I'm to connect with everyone. Ok, so I'm very grateful that you're here with me, that I'm going to be used, and I don't know how I'm going to be in contact with everyone. Thank you all for giving me such a beautiful opportunity to serve. Hi again, my name's Laverne. Like Emily, I also have lived in community and have dedicated my life to this path. And when I said yes to this path back in 2007, I had no idea where it would take me. And just in particular being in this Living Miracles community, I've been given just a lot of different projects that bring up my fears. Yes, and the most recent one is just stepping into this steward role here at La Casa de Malongros. And that I'm seeing just in saying yes to it, that the gift for me is just that I have to be so aligned with spirit all the time. And I've just been so grateful too with the ones around me that have been so willing to express from their hearts. Is it somehow seems to give us all this permission to be that transparent and open with one another? And several of the people here I've actually been together for many years. And there's this telepathy that we have with one another that is just for me like beyond words in terms of how beautiful it feels. And there between me and these people, there's a level of telepathy that we're trying to communicate. What I love about it so much is that it actually extends out. It's an invitation for others to join in. It's not like relationships of the world that are exclusive, it's actually inclusive. So again I just want to extend an invitation to all of you to just join in this vibe of inclusiveness. And know that this is a safe container to bring up any of the difficult emotions or problems you might have. Thank you. Hi, my name is Craig and I've been here for eight months. And I've been part of the Americans for about two and a half years now. And it's finally kicked in on what an honor is to serve. Oh, what an honor it is to realize what a gift it is to serve. There's nothing else I want just to be used and to support the people who walk the path before me and to shine a light on those people who are taking the first steps or taking any kind of steps. In this moment there's nothing else I want just to be used and to support the people who are taking the first steps. And to support the people who are taking the first steps or taking any kind of steps. Yeah, it's such a trip. This ride is insane and I just don't love it. I don't know what's going to happen or what I'm doing but when you're opening it just, wow, it blows your mind. So thank you for being here and thank you for allowing me just to shine. Hi, I'm Andy. I live in the community. And I guess I'm glad it's not a race. But Bill and Andy, don't worry about it. T.Y., he's happy that it's not a race. I don't want to tip. You're still working on that one. Can you go? Okay. There's no hurry. No, I don't want to tell you how long I've left the interview. I still struggle a lot with fear and unworthiness. And I'm here to heal my mind. And deepen my relationship with my internal teacher, the Holy Spirit. And I was feeling anxious before this retreat. But now I just feel great. There's no place I'd rather be. Thank you. It's always such an honor that first night when we all come together and feel each other. It's an experience of hearing our brothers and sisters voice our thoughts. Just like in 12 step groups, there's a same feel when everyone is so open-hearted. And I'm always delighted just to see the quantum expression of my mind. Just an amazing array, collection of thoughts and inspiration here. Just like a novel where there are so many nuances how connected all of our lives are. We come together from different continents and different countries. And I love listening to the stories of what brought us all together for this most holy purpose. It was some years ago I came to Guadalajara to add that to the No Healing Center. And Jesus and Sonia were right there in that weekend retreat. Our family, the Delgado family, was like our Mexican family welcoming us down, come down to Mexico. And you can hear from the stories how we all have such deep connections that have brought us to this point in time and space. And on this intimate evening I love the transparency of what Shiloh was sharing, James, of going past the people pleasing and the private thoughts. And deep in your hearts you know how much trust it takes to lay down the mask and to just speak whatever is on your mind. Because truly the personality is a mask that we've all become good at hiding behind. But every little time that we trust and experience a miracle we see that it's safe. And that nothing is going to hold us back from this love in our hearts. So I feel we are starting tonight, starting on the right foot as we go into the weekend. And there will be many opportunities to relax and to open up this weekend. Yeah, I know how much it takes just to get here. And now for everyone to have taken the next step to take the risk and really share the prayer of your heart. I can always feel this big sigh of relief all of you in this day. Thank you. And now the whole weekend will just unfold before us. Because even if you can't find the exact words and you can't find a way to put all of your prayer into words, God hears it. Yeah, He hears the prayer of the heart beyond the words. And with this kind of prayer that we are all joined in for the weekend, the channel to the Holy Spirit is wide open to receive the help. So I'm very grateful. Just feel it. When I first started studying a course of miracles, I had a brain damage. So I was reading the course and then I would forget what I read. In the first I was concerned that I couldn't learn the course. So I say to Jesus, is this a problem? He said, oh no, it's perfect. I don't want you to learn this course. I want you to listen to me. I want you to feel me in your heart. And when you read something that you feel in your heart that makes you cry or makes your mind open, that is learning. That is remembering God. Anything else that you forget or can't understand, forget it. Not important. So it's all about listening, feeling, what resonates. And being so honest with ourselves that we can keep asking for help and keep recognizing that we need help and keeping that prayer open because we don't know the way by ourselves that we keep focusing on this relationship with the Holy Spirit and receiving the support through one another. And there's no way that we can fail. You are more adjoined in a prayer for truth. There is truth. We feel the presence of the Spirit and the illusions they get dissolved. So it's going to be fun. Before you came, I was in prayer. I've had so many wonderful, inspiring ideas for this weekend. I don't know how we can fit it all. Before you came, I was praying and trying to imagine things to do during this weekend. I don't know how to fit all of this. Expression sessions, talks with David, movie gatherings, music videos, dancing, singing. So we'll see what we can fit. Before I had to keep giving my worries to the Holy Spirit, now I have to give all my inspiration to the Spirit. Because he's still guiding the way. Yes, and this space here is like a garden. It's kind of like a zoo too, with animals. But there's a lot of care and there's a lot of welcome here in the garden. Oftentimes we'll have nourishing rain at night and a beautiful sunshine during the days. We could look at the flowers, the birds of paradise, and the many different colors here. Watch all the different birds and the hummingbirds flying around. And this place is very pet friendly. We have two pets that you'll meet if you haven't already. I saw the cat with the big blue eyes. He was adopted from a rehab center next door when he was a little kitten. And to say that cats had nine lives, he's lived two lives here already. He had a near-death experience and completely transformed into a new personality. And even though I have a friend who says reincarnation causes stress, he is also working on his last lifetime. He's transcending. So Benito was picked up by an interstate highway by Jason. He has gone through character transformation as well. Just rest assured, everyone who comes here leaves in a different state of mind. Every time we tell Benito he's about to leave. He gets better. He barks and barks and barks. That's his transformation. Kristin goes into prayer because he's now the monastery dog. He's very happy. So she prays that he serves the whole by being here. And then for one day he's very, very good. He serves a purpose being here. His main purpose was to show everyone that you can be clueless and care for. That you don't have to do anything good to be loved. And Benito has had some beautiful holy relationship assignments. And so like all of us it's not random that he's here. So when he was barking a lot and I prayed, is he to stay? I will be reminded, oh, who is his relationship assignment? And then when the person who was looking after him was giving him the full love and attention he... the person needed to exchange the love and he needed to receive it. So he was reflecting a lack of love at that time. So just like our relationships, they're all reflections. It's beautiful because all of us come and go down here. But we are greeted with purrs and wagging tails when we come back. A few years ago I did a week-long retreat at our monastery in the United States. And it was many miracles. Everyone was very happy at the end of the retreat. And there was a young man at the retreat that looked like Jesus. He looked like Jesus in the face and he had long curly hair. At the end of the retreat we were sitting in the kitchen and he opened the knock of the door and he came inside. And he said, I just have to tell you something about this place. He said it was just the most amazing week he'd had experienced. And he looked at us and he said, there's no one in charge here. It was just a wonderful feeling of how everybody was like in a dance together of perfect equality. And for us, after he left the room, we said, wow, that's the greatest compliment that anyone could ever say. And so that is really our wish for all of you this weekend. That you feel so relaxed and so safe, and truly so at home, that not once do you have to think about someone being in charge or somebody needing to follow. Because we are learning to be comfortable in our mind, remembering that we share our mind with God. And that's really what this is about, is sitting into that deep peace. With a feeling like you're surrounded by friends and surrounded by angels. So even though we do have a schedule for the weekend, if you just relax, you'll notice you just flow from one thing into the next into the next. And you may enjoy times where you're just laying in the grass and watching the sky and the birds. Because we're not really here to get something from someone, we're here to let the love flow through us. And if any of you have come with a prayer of questions or concerns, we will trust that the answers and the resonance will come in just the form that you can receive it. We hope that the answer will come in just the form that you can receive it. So, have any more to share? Do you want to say something? Okay. Well, quantum has been mentioned several times. Someone made a beautiful music video with the song Quentin Love in the background. And it's all scenes from a music festival and a lighten up retreat that we had. It was called the Strawberry Fields Forever festival. It's a monastery in Utah. So this one doesn't have Spanish subtitles. But a few lines from the song. It's all we wanted. It's who we are. Heart breaking wide open. Quantum love means quantum is everywhere. It's everywhere, all the time. So this whole festival is really all about that. What really wants to be revealed to us? And it is that present moment. It is the heart. This love cannot be contained bigger than the two of us. Anything that's just for us is purely for this relationship with God. Everything we're called to do is only ever for this relationship to listen and follow on a deeper and deeper level because we're just so worthy of being in this connection and knowing there's really nothing else. We are worthy of knowing that everything we do is for our relationship with God. Because there is nothing else. We're just to be there for everybody else. I'm revealing myself. That's why we call it a music festival and a life of retreat. Because enlightenment is an emptying out of all self-concepts. And the way that we do that is we give the self-concepts. We give the skills and abilities that the ego may have. We give them over to the Holy Spirit. We say, now give you the desire to bless, to bring joy, to bring happiness, to extend the love and light of our Creator. That's my best clueless look too. Yesterday's meeting was so much joy and everything was so open for me and to collaborate in music and it was really wonderful. And this morning everything is like clocked again and I cannot really say what it is. In your heart you come to this moment and the fear is going to come out of you. And this is an obstacle that will make itself known. And that's the journey. We go through the darkness to the light. That's one thing we really learned in the course that the fear will arise. And that you want to welcome that. It seems a little strange on the surface of things to welcome fear, but it has to arise. And everything that we teach and learn is letting the Spirit work through us and flow through us and purify and cleanse our mind. And in that sense we are answering the call to purity. Through a purification process and actually the process itself will disappear in an experience. So you won't be able to have experience and tell your war stories anymore. You won't be able to tell your stories about the war anymore. You will just radiate war. And it really is a visual, tangible experience of this heart. Just so big and so amazing and joy that just comes out and flows it out and it's real. It has nothing to do with anything changing out there. It has nothing to do with something out there changing. This is like a music montage. The lyrics are family of light. And repeats again, family of light. I love you and I know you love me too. Angels so bright. It's early, it goes back years. Yeah, this is 2009. 2009, I'm sorry. Take it all with us. Now you can leave it here. Best to take it with you. Yes. What's the theme song? Good night. Good night. Good night.
