For a long time, David was the only one in the community whom I felt I could fully trust, but you were the second. I witnessed you in countless situations being such an amazing demonstration of gentleness, kindness, and patience—mostly kindness—while still being firm, direct, and strong. It gave me another symbol I could put my full trust in, and another role model to learn from and live up to. Now that you've passed, I hope to continue learning from you, perhaps even more fully now than ever. Thank you for how devoted you were to Jesus' teachings and to extending his Love and message of Forgiveness to all of us. 🙏💖✨ 1/0 Jason Warwick My dear sweet Frances.

In a sense, I felt that I had to manage my feelings on my own because I had to let you go, and again, you are reminding me that this is not what I came here for. I didn’t come here to resign the strength of love I found in my heart. I came here to go towards it. I came because the Spirit chose this path of surrender to love itself as an answer to my prayer to know what real love is. And I’m so grateful that you have been given to me as a way into that deep truth because of your purity, integrity, and strength. I’m repeatedly amazed by your generosity of heart and listening more carefully than ever to your guidance. With all my love Søren Frances Xu-kopi.png 1/1 Kirsten Buxton Beloved Frances, Oh I am grateful beyond words for you.

I retired when the body was 34. I gave the body and the mind and everything over to Jesus. Jesus told me this would happen. He told me, "You won’t have a career." And at that point—it was 1991—I was hearing Jesus’ voice on a daily basis, instructing me in a very conversational tone. It made my life extremely easy; never had a difficult decision to make. For myself, I was told where to go, who to meet, what to do, what to say—very, very practical. In that year, Jesus said to me, "Now you are mine. You have no life of your own. No future ambitions. No future goals." That was the end of my human will. And with it came a very deep peace that seemed to grow stronger in those early years. It got deeper and deeper. Like I was watching a movie. Like the world was a fairy tale. I wasn’t striving to make anything different. I didn’t have any motive to convince anybody of anything. I was just in a deep acceptance. Then the gifts of the Spirit started coming very strong and in many different ways, like using music and movies. I still marvel at how the symbols get used. I never take anything for granted. It always seems amazing and marvelous. We can all learn from the mystical teachings of Jesus.

The final chapter of Frances’ miraculous parable on earth. Frances Xu - A Love Story “At last the gate of Heaven opens and God’s Son is free to enter in the home that stands ready to welcome him, and was prepared before time was and still but waits for him.” (ACIM, S-3.II.6:4 ) Dear Friends and Family, It is with the deepest love that we share with you the news that our beloved Frances has laid her body aside. Like the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, Frances has gone through a metamorphosis and is now free of worldly limitations. We know that you may have questions and we have gathered some details below to help provide some answers. We hope that you will be able to join us in the expansive nature of Frances’ passing from the physical realm into her true identity as Spirit. Frances’ greatest joy was to “share the good news.” On June 30th, 2023, she returned home from Japan following a seven-week international tour of doing just that. Frances’ greatest dream was to travel with her partner, being fully used by the Spirit to extend God’s love. Every part of her trip was guided and supported—from the beginning to the end, it was a happy dream indeed. She was taken care of every step of the way with first-class flights, hotels, loving hosts, walks on the beach, and many opportunities for stillness and prayer. Her purpose was only to be truly helpful. It was the trip of a lifetime and a true celebration of a life without comp romise. Upon returning to her home in Mexico, there were some indications that a checkup with a local doctor was needed to determine whether there was something that needed to be addressed. On July 4th, the doctor recommended an MRI and the results showed that Frances had multiple tumors in her brain. Subsequent tests revealed a cancer that had spread throughout the body, determined to be in “stage 4” upon discovery. Very swiftly, we began a journey of visiting doctors and hospitals, all with the underlying goal to remember God. All throughout, Frances’ prayer was for true empathy and to be surrounded by those who could see clearly that the body was not a priority of focus. And this is what we invite everyone reading this to join us in now. The Son of God is not a body and we honor our Father by honoring our brothers and sisters’ True Identity as Christ. Of course we allow the healing that arises, and we allow tears to fall, but we see those tears are really tears of deep love and gratitude for a life fully given over to God. Early on, Frances decided that her direction would not be one of following the medical model as it would have involved chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and months of focus and attention on the body. This was her deepest and final mind training. Frances’ joy was to put the Kingdom of Heaven first and that the truth of who and what she was be revealed through this life experience. The mind was pulled into deep prayer and a letting go of the body identification, and a full acceptance that her function had been fulfilled. Frances has always demonstrated a full surrender to “what is.” Her message continues to radiate the call to remember that “there is no death.” Her last days were spent in joy, surrounded by prayer, song, and lots of massages, basking in the light of the Holy Instant. She laid her body aside on October 4th, at 7:50pm, surrounded by her mighty companions in love. To our surprise, we realized that October 4th was St. Francis’ Day. That night, fireworks lit up the night sky in glorious bursts of light and color. There were reports of celebrations unlike anything seen in Chapala before, where the streets were completely lit up in joy! And this is our beloved Frances. She is a celebration of Life. Her spirit radiates eternally the message that the Son of God is free. She is a living demonstration of a “teacher of God.” This passage from The Song of Prayer, A Course in Miracles reflects her experience in receiving God’s reward for a job well done: “This is what death should be; a quiet choice, made joyfully and with a sense of peace, because the body has been kindly used to help the Son of God along the way he goes to God. We thank the body, then, for all the service it has given us. But we are thankful, too, the need is done to walk the world of limits, and to reach the Christ in hidden forms and clearly seen at most in lovely flashes. Now we can behold Him without the blinders, in the light that we have learned to look upon again. We call it death, but it is liberty. It does not come in forms that seem to be thrust down in pain upon unwilling flesh, but as a gentle welcome to release. If there has been true healing, this can be the form in which death comes when it is time to rest a while from labor gladly done and gladly ended. Now we go in peace to freer air a nd gentler climate, where it is not hard to see the gifts we gave were saved for us. For Christ is clearer now; His vision more sustained in us; His Voice, the Word of God, more certainly our own. Death is reward and not a punishment. But such a viewpoint must be fostered by the healing that the world cannot conceive.” (S-3 .II.2-3/5:5-6) Also, we would like to share a letter that Frances prepared for her mother to be received after she laid the body aside: “Mom, I want to tell you that all of this has been predestined by God. This is what I want. I came to this world for this purpose. Understand that we are not our bodies, we are the love of God. We come here with the love of God to fill the whole world with love. This body cannot lock us in. This body is not us. It is a great honor for me to be born into your family because the purpose of my coming to this world is to love you, love my father, and love my sister. You love me so much and you are so happy to have me by your side. But this is not the only purpose of coming here. I have a greater purpose for coming here. It was an honor to live with David and all my friends for the past period of time. These have been my happiest days and this is also their only purpose, to bring God's love into this world. In the end, we all return to God's heart. We don't belong here. I have really fulfilled my purpose for coming here. I have been to so many countries and met so many people. All of them have been so kind to me, so thank them for me. They are my true family of God. They came to take me home and they have completed this mission. So I hope you can also find the Lord. I know that only in the heart of the Lord can we have peace. This is my last wish. Let us thank our Father.” To those who have received the blessings that Frances has bestowed, thank you so much. It is truly an honor for us all to receive and embrace what her life taught us of true humility and trust in God. We are about our Father’s business now. This page is for those who may ask for details. We shall move forward and continue to share the good news of Jesus Christ. May you join us in the celebration and full gratitude of our Father’s message of everlasting life.

Discover the deeper meaning of Psalm 46:10—‘Be still, and know that I am God.’ Explore how stillness allows us to connect with our divine identity and find inner peace. Learn why letting go of conflict and egoic thinking leads us back to our Creator. What Does It Mean to Be Still? “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalms 46:10) Stillness is the state of mind that allows us to remember our connection with and existence in God. God’s Mind is very still because it has no conflict. Lack of stillness comes from conflict, which must be resolved to achieve inner peace. Without this inner peace and stillness, we cannot reach the ultimate truth of who we are as God’s Son. The main conflict in the mind relates to uncertainty about our identity. When we make illusions real and engage in egoic thinking, we forget our true identity in God and its timelessness in the holy instant. While we cannot practice the Holy Instant without putting it in the future, we can practice stillness. This helps us uncover hidden conflicts, the ego-made problems designed to distract us from our glory in God. As we disengage from egoic thinking and return our mind to its natural stillness, we start to engage in a genuine, authentic inquiry into who we truly are. This is the only path back to our Creator. “The angels have been whispering to you ever since you were born into this world. The angels have been around you, reminding you that you are a being of light, a perfect creation of a perfect God.” David Hoffmeister The Holy Spirit is here to help us unwind our mind from what we think we think about ourselves, others, and the world, as well as from all we believe we need as human beings. Whatever we need to awaken to our eternal Beingness is always provided, and that is all we ever truly need. Believing in unmet needs disrupts the mind's natural stillness, leading to chaotic, egoic thinking that keeps us striving in the world, chasing illusions we think will bring happiness. True happiness is our nature, and we find it by removing all that obscures it. “You need to be unwound by the Holy Spirit, to loosen up, lighten up from what you believe you are on this earth.” David Hoffmeister Humans have needs that stem from an enormous sense of lack, which has a single cause: the belief that we have left our Holy Father in Heaven and ventured into the world feeling separate and alone, seeking companionship, food, protection, success, status, and more. Our appetite for “things” is endless because of an insatiable desire deep in our hearts to return Home to Him and feel whole again. However, when we believe we are merely human, the burning desire for God is misinterpreted by ego as bodily needs and impulses, leading to an intense drive to improve the false self, fuelled by feelings of deficiency, inadequacy, and lack. As David says, God’s angels never leave our side. They constantly whisper in our ears, come Home holy child of God, you don’t belong here. Heaven is your real Home where you don’t have to toil, nor wonder, nor do you have to figure out how to increase your worth. Your worth is determined by God Himself and no amount of sleeping and dreaming can impinge on your worth. All things work together for good because the Holy Spirit uses everything in form to reach the state of Atonement. This means we never really have to worry about anything or give in to distractions. If absolutely everything will work out in our own best interest, why would we even interfere? “Meditation starts out with practice. You do have to be vigilant for God and His Kingdom. You do have to work at training your mind to jump off the thought trains, as they say in Buddhism, or to sink beneath the leaves and let the leaves flow over you.” David Hoffmeister With enough practice, life becomes one long meditation, regardless of what we are doing, who we are with, or what the external environment is like. This is what it means to be still. By calling on God’s name, which is our own, we start to disengage from chaos and engage with Him, ultimately realizing our holy nature. Stillness is the key to seeing our innocence and, with it, the whole truth of our divinity in God. “Give yourself an opportunity to be in stillness. You can call it meditating, fishing, or sailing on the ocean. Whatever the form is, give yourself that peaceful, easy feeling, that time to decompress, unwind, and relax.” David Hoffmeister the-christ.net Previous Next Awakening, Enlightenment, Waking, Self Realization, Self Realized, Wake Up Christianity, Christian, Bible, Religion Holy Spirit, Spirit, Voice for God, Intuition, Inner Voice, Guide, Higher Self Up Discover the Way of the Mystic: Free Online Revivals Every Weekend Mystical Christ Academy Christmas Edition: Reborn in Light Where Is the Real Choice?
