Quantum Forgiveness: Physics, Meet Jesus – David Hoffmeister

You need not enjoy movie-watching to receive the profound gift of this book. The text is a complete teaching in and of itself, offering a portal of awakening for any open mind.

Solaris (2002), Source Code (2011), Mr. Nobody (2009), Frequency (2000), X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) Next (2007) and Star Trek: 
Deep Space Nine, Episode “Emissary” (1993).

Why wait for the drama to play out in your life, when you can let the character on the screen do it for you? If you would like to watch the movie as part of the healing experience, we recommend the following steps.

1) Read the corresponding chapter before you watch the movie. This will help you prepare your mind to see the symbols and characters of the movie as “pointers” to the truth. The chapters provide a discussion that goes deeply into the lessons of the movie, offering clarity and solidifying the healing benefits in the mind.

2) Watch the movie. Be willing to stop the movie in order to detach from intense scenes, attractive scenarios, or moments when you want to know what will happen next. Watch your emotions and the investment you have in the images. Even if you experience discomfort, try not to distract away from it. Give yourself permission to stop investigating and just be with what is arising in awareness.

3) Reread the chapter and rewatch the movie until you feel you have moved from an intellectual understanding to an actual experience of the Truth. Ask Spirit to guide the direction of your thinking while you are reading and watching.

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” ~ The Essential Rumi

The mystical experience is one of clarity, great joy, deep peace, and tranquility—it ends the world of duality and conflict forever. The experience is not of this world, but radiates from within. It is not a concept; it comes into awareness when all concepts have been laid by.

David’s message speaks to all people, regardless of whether their background is religious, spiritual, or scientific. He is as comfortable delving into the metaphysics of the movie The Matrix, as he is in pointing to the underlying meaning of the scriptures in the Bible.

David’s own journey involved the study of many pathways, culminating in a deeply committed practical application of A Course in Miracles, of which he is a renowned teacher. His teachings have been translated into 13 languages, and taken into the hearts and minds of millions through the intimate style of his books, audios, and videos.

We always make the best decision we can based upon what we believe in that moment. When I was growing up, my father and I experienced a lot of tension with each other for many years. He had bipolar disorder and it was very difficult for him. As I got older and went through my transformation of consciousness and really forgave him—and forgave myself and forgave the world—my father started showing up in my awareness as an angel. He got happier and happier and our relationship began to improve.

People would say, “Your dad has really changed a lot,” and I would say, “My mind has really changed.”

My father was just reflecting that back. In fact, he came to me one day and said, “David, I’m sorry. I was not a very good father. I didn’t do the things that a good father should do.” I replied, “Nonsense! I don’t believe that for one instant. You did the best you could and I did the best I could. You didn’t let me down and I didn’t let you down. We’re not going to buy into that guilt trip anymore.”

He lit up when I said this. His whole demeanor changed and he instantly reflected love back to me. That simple exchange completely rearranged our view of everything that had taken place during those early years. None of it mattered anymore. We had been mistaken about many things because we couldn’t perceive truly while we were going through our time together.

All that had really been happening was that I had tried to hold him to the “father role,” and he had tried to hold me to the “son role.” This created a wrestling match that led to untrue beliefs like, “You should be a better father,” and “You should be a better son.” We had been mistaken about many things.

When we finally let go, he was no longer my father, and I was no longer his son. We recognized our perfect equality in that moment, and only the love was left. We laughed and hugged each other. We shared an intense joy together. The war was over. From that instant on, we were happy when we were together, right up to the point when he passed away.

—David Hoffmeister, Quantum Forgiveness: Physics, Meet Jesus

"This is not forgiveness the way the world teaches it, which is to believe that someone has done us wrong and we have to find a way to bless them. With True Forgiveness, we start to realize that we were mistaken about everything we have ever perceived. This opens the gateway to healing, the gateway to true freedom.”

"I am very excited about Quantum Forgiveness. The pioneers of quantum physics overturned and transcended Newtonian physics and the scientific method. Quantum physicists worked down to the smallest units and realized that everything they thought they knew about the world was not true. The world is about potentiality. In superposition, for example, things appear where we believe they will appear. And that is exciting because it is a science discovery that does not have to stay in the lab. It actually has everything to do with who we are. It is the gateway to our experience of being one with Source!"

“There are no writers out there, no directors, producers, or actors. Quantum movies are a symbolic representation of our mind’s desire to wake up. We can think of them as catalysts for a quantum shift in mind.”

"In this world we like to follow the plot, to think we know what is happening, what is coming next. But these great quantum movies are like spiritual experiences. They start to dismantle the world as we know it, and we find ourselves knowing less and less about what is happening. We do not have to know; there is a Presence behind all this that knows what It is doing. Instead of feeling nervous when things start to dismantle and fall apart, we can accept that we personally do not know, and see it as a good thing."

"The movie Mr. Nobody examines the core belief that we can find happiness if we make the right choices in life. We can’t; it’s impossible. But the belief that we have real choices that can bring us what we want is cherished by the ego because it keeps us locked into a never-ending quest of looking for happiness where it can’t be found.”

“Admitting that we have a perceptual problem—“I have remembered everything wrong”—is the gateway to true healing. Without this, we will continue to think that we are right about what we have perceived, right about what we think has happened. When we would rather be right than happy, we are stuck. The only way we can experience happiness is to admit that we have remembered it wrong. Whatever the scenario, person, place, or circumstance was, we remember it wrong.”

"We see in the movie, Source Code that Colter is having a series of perceptual experiences. That is exactly what is going on in our own lives; even the room in which we seem to be sitting is a perceptual experience that is coming from a set of beliefs. If we believe that spirituality is important, we may seem to find ourselves in a room reading a book about strange movies, and wondering if this will lead somewhere. But the whole scenario is just a reflection of belief system. We can imagine it as a motion picture; that is what it is.”

“Time is not what we think it is. This movie asks, “Where is my heart?” If our heart truly desires love and forgiveness, the whole world will reconfigure to the brightness and love in our mind. When we allow love to be the most important thing in our life, everything, all of time, will reconfigure.”

“This is how the spiritual journey goes. As we go deeper down the rabbit hole, everything we thought we knew disappears. The more insights and mystical experiences we have, the more everything keeps shifting. Things keep falling away because the lesson, the purpose, underneath this whole dream, is forgiveness. We must empty our mind of everything we think we think, and think we know about our identity so that our real Identity can be revealed to us by Spirit.”

“If we truly believed the message of Source Code, if we knew that we couldn’t change anything, we could just rest. We have the power right now to rest deeply, to let go of all the pursuits, all attempts to make ourselves better. Everything’s going to be okay because everything is okay.”

"Whatever we perceive in another person, whatever we find absolutely unacceptable, is something we believe in our own mind. They are simply acting it out for us.”

"Freud called dreams “wish fulfillment.” Everything we are dreaming in our unconscious mind, during what we call night-time sleep, is just our belief system being acted out. We can say the same thing regarding what we call our daily life. Down to the tiniest little detail, it is all fantasy and wish fulfillment; it is nothing more than a collection of images and scenarios made up by the ego.”

“What is a real person? There is no such thing. We are speaking to images! They are grievances, judgments, and partial memories that have been projected by our mind onto the screen and are now seen as real people.”

“The Course is perplexing for many because it dismantles every aspect of linear thinking. Those who try to maintain the linear perspective—that is, the story of their lives, their self-concept—will resist learning the Course because it leaves only the Present Moment, which is the gateway to Eternity."
