Take Me Home emerged from a profound trust in following inner guidance. Director 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, where spiritual teacher and mystic David Hoffmeister shares how to cultivate an inner-guided life:
Inspired to go deeper? As both David in this trailer and Take Me Home point to, the invitation is to let go of what you think you think and what you think you know, and to 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 that instead of what they had “learned” in the world.
To get a taste of the Course and find out 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!

Manifesting can be a helpful stepping stone, but in the end you will learn to yield to the miraculous flow of letting everything be given. The mind is powerful and will always manifest what it believes and wants in any given moment, be it lack and loneliness or companionship and joyful interaction. The only thing you can control is the direction of your thinking.
This is a story of faith and trust and of being willing to receive and accept Guidance and Love. Rannulph Junuh is disillusioned with life and has deep feelings of unworthiness. The Spirit reaches him using a backdrop that is familiar and attractive to him. “You have lost your swing” is the metaphor for “you have forgotten who you are.” The Spirit uses golf as a backdrop for discovering his authentic swing, which involves getting out of the way and allowing it to find him.
The partnership in this movie is one in which expectations are constantly being undone. To the ego it is jolting when a partner keeps disappearing and in this movie it can happen at any time. Any sense of desiring a normal (special) relationship leads to disappointment and the only way to look upon it all is from the perspective of opening up to a love that transcends time, space and bodies entirely.
As you continue your journey with us, we are excited to share more inspiring spiritual content that can transform your life.
Guidance is the golden thread of A Course in Miracles—it is the means to apply these teachings and remember your True Self. In terms of the One who guides, you can call it anything you want—Holy Spirit, Inner Guide, Jesus, Higher Self, or even “Fred”—whatever resonates with you. In the end, these are just words. Instead, let your focus be on the practical application of the Course and following guidance, as it is ultimately about your experience.
By listening to the Inner Guide with an open mind, you will be told where to go, what to do, who to speak with, and what to say. This guidance may come through an intuitive feeling, inner nudges or prompts, or even through a clear voice. Guidance is not about a better future. It is designed to take you fully into the present moment, leading you back to eternity:
As David and Frances share, there is another way to live, and guidance as a way of life is the invitation! To go deeper into this topic, enjoy this beautiful 3-part video series with gems as a beautiful way to start your day. It also offers the option to access the full 3-day online retreat “Guidance: A Direct Pathway to God” with David and Frances, where these excerpts were taken 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.

Many blessings,
