At the heart of our journey is the realization that our purpose is the lens 🔎 through which we view and experience the world and ourselves. When we sincerely embrace a new purpose, it changes everything!
With spiritual awakening as our purpose, our focus shifts from trying to control the world to letting go of the blocks to the inner peace, joy, and truth that are already inside us. This opens us up to let a higher wisdom guide us to a deeper understanding of our true nature.
We invite you to sink into this video, where modern-day mystic David Hoffmeister tells us about the profound importance of placing the purpose of peace out front in our everyday life and in all situations. David is a living demonstration that this internal shift into lasting peace of mind is not only possible, but the most natural experience there is!
As David shares, valuing this purpose of peace is everything! To illustrate this, we’re inspired to offer you a free chapter on “Peace of Mind” from David’s transformative book, This Moment Is Your Miracle. Don’t miss the interactive exercise at the end for a taste of just how practical peace of mind is!
Can you imagine what it would be like to step away from the chaos of everyday life and into a world of profound self-discovery? 🤔
This is the journey that unfolds in Take Me Home, a captivating documentary from the Foundation for the Awakening Mind. This film invites you to witness the transformative experiences of a group of strangers as they embark on a month-long retreat at a secluded monastery in the Utah mountains. As they open their hearts and minds to one another, they uncover unexpected treasures and forge connections that transcend the ordinary.
Take Me Home emerged from a profound trust in following inner guidance. Director and Awakening Mind teacher Frances Xu embraced an intuitive, moment-by-moment approach to the making of this film, letting go of control and outcomes to let present inspiration lead the way:
The movie project was used for the sole purpose of developing “intuitive” inner listening in order to connect with the truth and the power beyond this world.
I didn’t have a clue what “story” we were going to tell and, from the beginning, we all agreed that I would direct based only on the “inner prompts” I received through prayer. This intuitive, moment-by-moment decision making made it possible for the spontaneous acts of authentic expression and transcendence to be captured on film.

Enjoy this beautiful trailer of the Take Me Home documentary, a glimpse into what the film is about.
Inspired to go deeper? Both Take Me Home and David (in this trailer) point to an invitation: to let go of what you think you think and what you think you know and be carried by the trusted Inner Guide.
The spiritual text A Course in Miracles is where this journey began for both David and Frances. It transformed both their lives after they started going through this text and applying it in their daily lives; they started listening for this inner guidance and following it.
To get a taste of the Course and learn more, we would love to offer you an audiobook download for free. This audiobook contains readings and insights by David on Chapters 1–4 of the Text and Workbook Lessons 1–25 from A Course in Miracles. Enjoy!
Watching movies can be a powerful spiritual practice! Rather than just passive entertainment, movies can support our awakening journey and expand our consciousness. While we relax and have fun, we gain profound insights from watching these movies! The key 🔑 is purpose.

Before I Fall (2017)
Before I Fall (2017)
The value of movies like this is that they raise into awareness the most practical question to ask in regard to anything we do: “What is it for?” With each passing day, Sam starts to question why she and her friends do what they are so habituated to doing. The invitation of the Holy Spirit is to slow down and step back from these meaningless and repetitive interactions and busy doings and see the shining needle in the haystack: the present moment.
Peaceful Warrior (2006)

This is a brilliant movie about a young man who meets an unlikely spiritual guide and goes through a rapid awakening that involves facing and releasing the ego while turning to the inner strength and focus that is found in the present moment.
The Island (2005)
The Island (2005)
This is a fantastic metaphysical movie, showing the awakening process right through from being in a deceived, conforming state, to realizing that what was considered to be life was not really life at all. The main characters are joined in a relationship of purpose, in which they have to follow their prompts and become highly intuitive and determined to overcome the ego’s attempts at stopping them from exposing the darkness.Â

Every day, we seem to be faced with many decisions—where to go, what to say, what to do. How can we be guided in our choices in a way that aligns with our spiritual path?
A Course in Miracles offers a profound yet simple guidance: Ask yourself, What is it for? This single question transforms our decision-making from a mental struggle into a spiritual practice. By clarifying our underlying purpose, we gain more than just direction—we align our thoughts with a deeper intention. Purpose becomes our inner compass, gently steering us toward inner peace. đź§
As David Hoffmeister shares in this video, our purpose for awakening is in our mind and we have to go beyond the veil of the ego to find and live it.
To go deeper into this topic, enjoy this beautiful 3-part video series filled with gems to inspire your day! It also offers the option to access the full 3-day online retreat “Purpose Is the Only Choice,” with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu, where these powerful excerpts came from.
Additionally, we warmly invite you to explore more ways to connect with our community and to awaken to the truth through deep spiritual teachings, enriching events, and connecting with others in this shared purpose on the path to peace.
