Topic: What if There is Nothing Wrong?
December 28, 2013


Alfred:
Hello everyone this is Alfred, the young Padawan to The Modern Day Mystic Himself. You all know that I work along with Hans Christian King. And this is GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE. Hans and I are going to be on vacation from now until the end of January. And during that time we're going to be bringing to you the Best Of Guidance for Your Life and Modern Day Mysticism Radio Shows. These are the shows that people have listened to the most and the topics that people have requested the most. Hope you enjoy!

Alfred:
Tonight's topic – "What if There is Nothing Wrong”. A perception is merely an opinion of something. It is through out mind's desire to protects us that events are categorized as good or bad, right or wrong. What if there is never ever is anything wrong and there is no reason for your mind to create Ego. Could your body, mind and soul embrace the notion that the less you try to protect yourself and the more you are open to "feeling" the more readily you can achieve a spiritual state of "being". Without further ado, I present to you Hans Christian King.

Hans:
Good evening everyone. How nice to be with you. Alfred and I are down here in Merida, in Mexico, in the Yucatan Peninsula. Weather's beautiful. So many times you've heard me say: “What if you found out there was really nothing wrong?” A lady asked me the other day: “Where did that come from?” Well, I've heard it twice. One of the two times I was in a place called Iutia to the north of Bangkok in Thailand and I was talking to a Buddhist Monk. I forget what I was talking about, but he said: “Well Sir, what if you found out that there wasn't anything wrong?How would your mind handle that?” And I have to tell you I simply started immediately looking to prove him wrong. But what if you actually found out that all the fussing, and the worrying, all the carrying on that goes on through your mind, doesn't amount to a hill of beans? Because there is nothing wrong. As Alfred pointed out a moment ago, it's simply our perception. 

On our journey to happiness, it is we who cause ourselves not to be happy. Can you hear that? On our journey to happiness, it is we who cause ourselves not to be happy. That's very hard to quite understand because your intention is there. You're saying, “Well yes, I want to be happy.” But the mind chatter, my famous mind chatter, does a complete about face and starts to have judgments about what is wrong. And as our mind begins to develop judgments of what is wrong, making us feel dissatisfied, our minds tries to protect us. Changing our behavior to isolate us. So what our mind chatter does is thinks that it is helping us. And so it builds this cocoon around us in the name of protection. In the name of loving us. But what it's really doing is changing our behavior to isolate us. You see? So it's making a perceptional judgment on it's own of what is right, what is wrong. And it's saying: “Oh this is wrong. Or that doesn't work.” And I'm here to tell you tonight that the mind chatter is absolutely incorrect. 

Our mind actually believes the media or others opinions. I was watching a TV show tonight, I think it's called "Network". And Jane Fonda is, I believe, on the show and she was talking about how we in the U.S. are led so much of the time by the media. Even when the media is lying to us and telling us the wrong thing. And because it's "on air", because it's being spoken by people who should know, we believe that it's correct. This one single thing has caused us to okay how many wars in my lifetime? All led by a perception caused by someone on the television. Our mind believes the media, or others opinions. Causing us never to be peaceful in the moment. So if you turn the TV on and you listen to everybody's opinion...I have a friend of mine, very well known person in the field, and he said: “All it is is a bunch of individual's opinions of what something is”. Opinions. And most of it is what "might" happen, what "could" have happened. Rarely the truth of what "did" happen. So that we believe there is something wrong. 

But what if really there really isn't anything wrong? It's just somebody's opinion of what they think is right and wrong. And we're listening to it and believing it. And the more you listen to this, the more you listen to this, the more you tend to believe it. So what I'm saying to you is: “Try to look at life this way. You make your own judgments based on the fact that truly nothing is wrong”. I know that is a very difficult concept my friends. Because you can make a laundry list of things you can point out to me that's wrong. And I would say to you: “But how do you know that's true?” “Well, because I know it.” No, that's your mind chatter that knows it. If you put 10 people in a room and they all listen to the same lecture from the same person they see on television, you will have 10 people with different opinions of what the person actually said. Now which one do you believe? You don't believe any of them. You listen to your heart. What if, doing less gave you more joy? Think about that. What if doing less made you happy? 

But I'll tell you something, the less you watch television, the less you listen to the radio, the happier you will be. If you turn to FOX Network, or MSNBC, or any of the stations, all you're going to do is put yourself in a position to become upset. There is nothing children, nothing you can actually do about what's being done on television except refuse to give it the power to upset you, to infect you with anger and rage and disappointment, judgments, opinions. You don't know the individual. You would have now way of knowing who Mr. Obama is or who Mitt Romney is. You would have no way of knowing it. So why not let go and let God? You do less and find more joy. What if worrying less gave you more time to be peaceful? Now there's a concept, isn't it? What if worrying less gave you more time to be peaceful? Just think of all the things you could do with your daily life if you just could stop having judgments, opinions, worries...all of that stuff. None of which is true. 

What if you could go back to acting like a child? Do you remember way back then we you made up life? You made up your experiences. You fantasized. You were a buccaneer or a mermaid...you fantasized on flying. How many of you used to go flying? Do you fly anymore? No, because the mind is so weighted down now with all the stuff. I want to just add something here for just a second. You remember awhile back when I said to you: “When I was a very young man I asked Spirit what the bottom line in life is.” And I did not hear anything. And I waited, and waited...still didn't hear anything. And then one day I heard these words: “Hans, how you loved and how you allowed yourself to be loved is all that there is; there is nothing more. Now get on with your life, son.” How you loved, and how you allowed yourself to be loved...I have a dear friend of mine who's under tremendous pressure because they believe that certain things have to be done at a certain time in a certain way. All what's going on in their life they created. All the stress they created. All in a very decent, honorable intention. And so the other day I said to them: Why don't you just let it go? And they proceeded to give me a laundry list of why they couldn't just let it go. And I said: “Why not?” “Well...” “No, that's not true. That's your mind's perception of what's happening.” 

Sometimes children, sometimes you have to sit your mind down. Okay? And you have to say: “We need to have a chat.” We need to look at why it is that you pour tons of work on yourself and then claim you have no time to get anything done. We need to understand why it is that every third thought in your mind is of a "worrying" kind. What if you started each day and made yourself calm enough to change your day by staring at a single flower? Think of what I just said here. What would happen if you made yourself calm enough to change your day by staring at a single flower. Can you imagine how that would change your day? Not running to find the car keys, not trying to find your wallet or your purse, not a laundry list of what has to be done today and oh my goodness, where's the list? I can't live without the list. I have to have the list. I have to add something to the list. What if you just got up and stopped for a moment and stared at a flower? In that moment is all that there actually is. There is no pick up the laundry, there is no pick up the kids, there is no get to work on time...none of it. 

All those things are things your mind literally throws at you in order to make itself feel important. Could you ever be still enough to feel that love that flows through you and around you from the Other Side? Could you silent your mind chatter enough to hear the angels that watch over you and whisper sweet nothings in your ear? “You're okay. Don't worry. We've got your back. Everything is fine. It's okay.” Don't listen to your mind chatter. You're good enough for us. Could you allow yourself to know: That you are enough? Just who you are in this moment, right now is enough. Think of that. You've heard me say it for years now. From the Spirit, what if you found out what you are doing, where you are, is enough? There's nothing you need to be. No one you need to become. Nothing you need to do. All that has been manufactured by your mind chatter, your family's mind chatter, your boss' mind chatter. 

You've heard me often say: “That life is an illusion.” “No, it's not...” “Life is an illusion. You're living in someone else's illusion, they're living in your illusion. You live where you chose to live. You married or partnered with a person you chose. You buy the clothes that you choose. You go see the movies that you choose, the restaurants...” But we got caught somewhere along the way to believing that that was happening to us as opposed to our making it happen. We would never want to believe that we are the root cause for all of our pain. We would never want to believe that we bring most of our sadness and sorrow to ourselves. We would never want to believe that we're not good enough. But we say it everyday. You've heard me say that some of the happiest people I've ever known have very little. 

I was talking to a man one day. And he said to me: “I'm so happy to have so little.” And I said: “Why?” He said: “Because I don't have to worry about it. I don't have to worry about someone taking it away. I don't have to worry about insuring it.” He said: “I have way more than enough.” He said: “I have my family, I have friends and I have love.” So no matter what your dharma is, you are already enough, now. Could you ever believe that all there is is this moment? You don't have yesterday, because it's gone. You don't have tomorrow because it hasn't arrived yet. You just have this moment. And if you have that conversation with the brain and you said: “I choose, from this day forward not to listen to your erratic behavior. I choose from this moment, to be peaceful. I choose not to be fearful. I choose to live in joy.” Now when you do that, lots of your friends, family members will look at you like you're slightly cuckoo. But that's not your problem is it? I know people who deliberately think all night about what they're going to say to somebody the next day. Unbelievable. Rather than getting rest and relaxing, they're busy thinking about how they will dialogue with people. Causing themselves stress. 

What about "believing"? That thinking about the past or the future are causing you stress or pain. Do you realize that is happening? Do you realize that you're worrying about something that already happened? You don't need to know why. It happened. When you're crossing other people's illusions and they're crossing yours, there's going to be anger, mis-perception. It will happen. But that was then. So why should you bother with it? And why in the name of all that's holy, would you be worrying about anything that's in your future? It's in the future. It has nothing to do with now. You don't know where you'll be in 5 years. You don't know where you'll be next week. You don't know what's going to happen to you. What if thinking you have the answer is actually limiting your opportunities? Hear that again. What if thinking you have the answer is limiting your opportunities. Oh my goodness. Is that what you want to do? No. Your mind chatter limits everything you do. If you had the answer you wouldn't be asking the question, would you? So thinking you have the answer is limiting our opportunity. 

What if the path to true happiness is by doing and thinking less? Wow, isn't that great? What if the path to true happiness is by doing and thinking less? I know people who have lists of everything they're going to do the next day and the next week. They have it so categorized that every hour, every 1/2 hour, every minute of the day has already been planned out. And if you were to say this to them: “Why don't you stop at the beach on the way back? Talk to the seagulls for 1/2 an hour?” You completely and absolutely throw them...they go crazy. “I can't do that, I have to do this, I have to do that...” 

I've watched these shows..have you been watching these Reality Shows on TV? Have you ever noticed even on the Cooking Channel: “Hurry, Hurry, Hurry -  We're running out of time!” Hurry, Hurry, hurry, hurry... That is what's happened to the United States of America. It's hurry, hurry, hurry. The joy, the peace, loving each other, doing things for each other is gone. Now it's how much can you get done in an hour? And you're not good enough if you're behind. Terrible things. You know one of my favorite songs is: Don't Worry Be Happy. I can hear that song in my head anytime I want to. Think of the simple brilliance of that statement: Don't worry, be happy.  And I can hear people right now saying: Let me me tell you why I can't be happy. Let me tell you why I need to worry. Because this could happen...or that..."could" happen. Stop it. Think of the simple brilliance in that statement, Don't worry, be happy. It sounds like such a simplistic thing. But if you were to incorporate it into your life, oh my goodness, how your life would change. 

We all, at sometime believe something is wrong. But what's the worst that could happen? What is the worst thing? You can die and return home to bliss, alright? So you could die and return home to bliss. Someone around you dies, that person returns home to bliss. Let's say nothing good happens for you this life. You can return and try it again. I know, I'm sounding a little sarcastic here, but I just want you to understand: “Nothing is left to chance.” Nothing. You are so loved by the Universe and you're so busy distancing yourself from the very thing that you're trying to have in your life. You want love and compassion. You want peace and joy. You can't have financial prosperity if you don't have prosperity of the heart. For some people, what is enough? I was talking to a friend of mine awhile back. He was busy complaining to me about his net worth has declined. Folks, his net worth is currently nearly $800 million. But he's afraid he could run out of money. Think about that. Money doesn't solve your problems. You do. You solve your problems by learning to be happy. 

By learning not to worry. Sure there are other things that can happen to you while you're in human form. For instance a bad person does something bad...well, it's horrible and it's sad but God will determine what happens to that person. You don't need to worry about that. Nobody ever gets by with anything. Your job is to continue to let go of trauma and do what you came down here to do. You came down here for all kinds of things. Many times we cause ourselves sadness and pain...many times. Check your behavior. Look at your behavior. Say: “Do I intend everyday to make myself happy today?” Today folks I was in the pool. There were big thunder clouds that went by. And the wind blew. And it blew this leaf into the pool. It was a beautiful leaf and I was looking at it and it was sort of red and...it was a beautiful leaf. And for that moment, there was no other place in the world I wanted to be. For that moment, I was where I wanted to be, doing what I wanted to do and I chose that. Now there are many things that are going on in my life right now that I can choose to fuss and worry and... No, no, no, no. I chose to be in that joy, in that bliss, at that moment. 

You know folks, every once in awhile someone or something does not meet our expectations. We've all been there haven't we? Let's go back to something that we said in the beginning: “What makes us think that anything is wrong?” Just because someone doesn't live up to our expectations of what we want or what we need at the moment does not make them wrong. It makes us wrong. It makes us wrong for demanding that someone else do what we want them to do so we can be happy with them being in our life. Doesn't work that way. Let go of judgment. Let go of opinion. Sometimes what's happening is not what you thought it was going to be. Not what you thought would happen. Remember always that God knows better about what you've asked to experience than what you do. God knows how it's supposed to work in your experience. And once you fully understand: “Oh maybe I'm looking at this wrong.” Have you ever just said to yourself: “Today I intend to be happy.” Self imposed sadness and pain come from trying to control the outcome of what's going on around you. For all of us this has always been a big problem. Trying to control the outcome of that which is around us. 

How many hundreds of thousands of hours have we sat trying to figure out what went wrong? What if nothing went wrong? What if trying to control the outcome caused you the pain? Sometimes children, if we're without a partner we'll run into someone in a restaurant or on the bus or buying a loaf of bread in the market...and we'll look at that person and they'll look at us, and we can hear ourselves say: “Wow, wouldn't that be nice?” Feel grateful that you feel that. By saying: “And it's on the way. And it's on the way.” Not what went wrong. How come God didn't send me a partner? I'm so lonely. You know, I'll never find anybody. We've listed so many ways that we cause ourselves pain and suffering. If you place happiness at the top of the list of things to accomplish this life, wouldn't that be something? Follow my advice: “Don't worry, be happy. Let go of as much judgment and opinion as you can. Let go of your past. It's not you. Find time to be peaceful. Believe you are enough already. Realize you have all you need already. Trust that less is more. All of these things children, if you will listen to them, will change the course, the direction, and the quality of your life.”

Bonus Topic - “Are Mistakes Good for Us?” by Hans Christian King - Spiritual Radio Show transcription

GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE Radio Show

and Alfred Ricci www.AlfredRicci.com
BONUS TOPIC: Are Mistakes Good for Us?
December 28, 2013


Alfred:
And as an added bonus, we're going to continue on the topic of "Nothing is Wrong", and include another lesson on the possibilities of spiritual growth from that topic. So stay tuned for another 1/2 hour of spiritual lessons. And for our members, please go to the member area to get your questions. Enjoy everyone!

Alfred:
Hello everyone and welcome to Guidance For Your Life. We're broadcasting out of AM 880 ”The Revolution” in Asheville, North Carolina where it's been a bit chilly for the last week.

Hans:
I think that's a good way to put it. Hi everybody, it's Hans. I think it was 21 the other morning and for those of you who don't know a lot about Alfred, I'd like to tell you that he's allergic to cold.  

Alfred:
This is a wonderful lesson that there is nothing wrong if it's cold outside and that is the lesson for today. Is there nothing wrong? "Are Mistakes Good for Us?"  

Hans:
Good afternoon everybody. You know what if, just everybody think about this for a minute, what if nothing is really wrong? Now everybody listen to your mind chatter as it busies itself telling you, Oh no, it's wrong because this is happening, and that's happening, and something else is happening. But what if nothing was wrong? What if was only our perception of what is going on? What if that's all it is? Somebody asked me awhile back: “Are mistakes good for us?” Well first of all there are no mistakes and if there were yes, they would be. First time out anything that you come up against is a lesson, right? And you hope you learn from that lesson. You can only make a mistake if you do it again. So basically, there are no mistakes. As the appearance of adversity comes to visit us from time to time in our life and we busy our self  trying to understand why. And rather than learn the lesson we wind up becoming guilty, or we wind up saying to ourselves: I wonder why I deserve that. But mistakes, if you want to use that word, I would say to you: Mistakes are periods of growth. For instance you could say: “I wonder what's in this for me this time?” Well I guarantee you one thing, I won't do that again. That's a growth. A mistake, to me, is something you keep doing over and over and over again on the same subject. As if you're trying to get apple juice out of a basket of oranges.

Alfred:
Oh what's the saying? "Insanity is doing the same thing and hoping for a different result?"

Hans:
Exactly...exactly. And so if you know that what you are doing doesn't work but you keep trying to make it work, i.e. a job position, i.e. a relationship.... That's an interesting thing Alfred. I want to stop for a minute and go to relationships and mistakes.

Alfred:
Ooohh, relationships.

Hans:
Yes. Relationships and mistakes...

Alfred:
One of our "hot topics".

Hans:
It is indeed. Wow. Have you ever noticed folks that we keep drawing to us the same kind of relationships over and over and over again? Whether they're friends, lovers... We just keep doing the same thing and a lot of people, for instance keep drawing to them "the needy people". Alfred, have you ever been in that place?

Alfred:
Yes. Because unknowingly sometimes that's who we attract. That's who we're looking for is to "save someone"....

Hans:
So we're looking to "fix someone". Or have you ever noticed Alfred that sometimes people put themselves out there to be rescued?

Alfred:
...that aren't available to be rescued.

Hans:
That aren't available to be rescued. So they keep wanting to be rescued. I said this on Jeff Messer's show the other day: No one completes us folks. We already are. We already are perfect for the Great Spirit or God if you will. We are perfect for the Spirit. It's how we judge ourself. That's where we make a "mistake". Is that we have a tendency to become a victim of our own thinking. A victim of our own process. Some years ago, and I had to do a large crowd, there was about 1400 to 1600 people in the audience and I said to the audience: Can anybody in this room tell me what's going on in their life that they did not create? Nobody raised their hand. Now, even illness, even illness is often created through emotion. If you are depressed, if you're feeling low, if you're not taking care of yourself, i.e., you're eating foods that you know are not good for you or you're smoking too much or you're drinking too much... All of these will eventually cause a health problem. But one of the biggest contributors to well-being is your emotional conduct. Are you a happy person? Are you a sad person? Okay? You have to look, sometimes. I can't tell you how many times I've had someone say to me Alfred: You know I went to the doctor and they told me there's absolutely nothing wrong; they can find nothing. Yet I feel terrible. I have to get a new doctor. It's almost as though they're looking for what may be wrong. Because they really don't want to look at the fact that there may not be anything wrong and what may actually be going on is that they're depressing themselves and making themselves sick. Opening yourself up to: What if nothing is really wrong is a concept that many people have a hard time in coping with. You remember that lesson for you Alfred?

Alfred:
Absolutely. It's because so many things seem very obvious that they're wrong. But what we're trying to tell you in this lesson is: It's not whether something is obviously wrong or something in the world that could be made better. The issue is that you have a perception or an opinion, in your mind that something is wrong. And that is the underlying issue. That is what causes you pain. And a lot of the lessons that we go through are to get you out of pain, into joy, into bliss, into happiness. To go within and find those things that are taking you away from your natural state of peace. And one of those things that take you away from that is, if you have a perception or an opinion something out there is wrong.

Hans:
And folks I have to say to you that this is a very, very difficult lesson in trying to learn it. Alfred and I talked about this before we brought it to you. A lot of people, especially during these appearance of difficult times, and actually they were difficult times, but it's how we assimilated them. Did we learn something from this? All of us, at some point, has lost something. It's the appearance of the loss. We never really own a house, we never really own a car. We're lent those things. We never get to keep anything. Someone said to me once many years ago when they saw my other property here in Asheville and they said: You must be so happy to be able to own a stream and trees. And I said: Own? You can't own a tree. You can't own a stream. I'm a caretaker and when I pass on someone else will take care of those trees and take care of that stream and someone after them. You don't own anything. Okay? So what makes us think there are  mistakes? I think, the appearance of mistakes are little nuggets of growth, little nuggets of lessons. The most important thing everyone needs to hear is: The greatest gift is to learn the importance of intention. This again is what the Spirit looks at. They look at the intention. Alright Alfred, on intention how did you deal with learning that lesson? I love to put him on the spot here.

Alfred:
He loves to embarrass me.

Hans:
He says...What is it you say "deer in the headlights syndrome"? 

Alfred:
Oh, it even gets better during the Live Classes or especially when there's 200 people in the audience. He'll peer over and just mention some embarrassing story about when I was first groveling in order to become the Paddle On and learn from....

Hans:
Let me explain something to you son, you never groveled, okay? What you were was opinionated but you never groveled.

Alfred:
I had opinions...

Hans:
Oh my goodness, you're middle name is "opinion", not Dominic.

Alfred:
So if you ever get to attend a live event I'm sure Hans will elaborate further on these wonderful stories.

Hans:
 Have you ever noticed that our audiences laugh a lot when we do the live presentations? They just can't believe.... One person about two years ago stood up during a Question and Answer period and she said: I just want to know one thing. And I said: Yes? And she said: Do you two rehearse this?  Everybody broke out laughing. No, it's just the way we are. I like to bring as much humor to the teachings as possible because I believe that so many teachers get very staid and drawn in and tight and they're sort of forcing this thing on you. I believe that life is about fun as well. And I think you can take any lesson, it doesn't matter what the lesson is, and turn it into not only real growth for yourself but you can also have fun learning. And one of the things that I like to teach everybody, what Spirit talks about with me is, please don't take your life so seriously. You're not going to get to keep it. Stop being so serious. Start finding some humor. That's the key is finding some humor. So what I like to do is when we do our workshops and our classes, no matter where it is, whether it's here or in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, it doesn't matter, is to pick on Alfred.

Alfred:
To use the Paddle On as the Voodoo Doll...

Hans:
To pick on Alfred, this is the most fun I have because it's that "deer in the headlights" because during the classes Alfred has to stay in touch with the email questions that are coming in, he's very busy...

Alfred:
Don't let him fool you he just enjoys picking on me. To get me back from the early days.

Hans:
Yes. I really, really do.

Alfred:
Let's get the truth out here. I tortured poor Hans for the first couple years until I let go.

Hans:
Actually 3 1/2 years.

Alfred:
It was not that long.

Hans:
Yes it was. I lived it. I lived it.

Alfred:
No, I don't seem to remember that long..

Hans:
Of course not because you're perfect.

Alfred:
I am...Well...

Hans:
Someone, somewhere has made the mistake of saying to Alfred, our pal over here...

Alfred:
That was Jeff Messer by the way...

Hans:
That he has a "golden voice" and so he's having a plaque put on the door of his office  saying "The Golden Voice One". So just to let you know that things around here are a little comical too.

Alfred:
Well everyone is born with unique gifts that are innate to them by their dharma.

Hans:
I'm still looking for yours. I'm still looking for them.

Alfred:
My dharma or my unique gifts?

Hans:
Your unique gifts.

Alfred:
And everybody has unique gifts according to their life path.

Hans:
That's correct. Everyone does.

Alfred:
It's not just me. It's not just Hans. Everybody does. But it's through these teachings, getting back to being serious here, through these teachings we help you find your unique gifts by uncovering who you really are.

Hans:
You know you're so important, each and everyone of you to God. You're so important that there's not another "you", every has been, is now, or ever will be. So your uniqueness belongs to you. You know? And for instance, I had a client today, was doing a Skype reading from Bogota, Columbia and this person's perception was that they'd lost their father. And one of the things that I explained to him was that his father is doing just fine. See what we want to know when our loved ones pass over, when they pass away, is did the consciousness of the individual survive. And when the father came back through the reading and spoke to the son and gave a certain amount of clues, there was no longer a doubt in this person's mind that the consciousness, therefore the person that he loved was still in existence somewhere. He didn't quite understand the Other Side. He said: I'm not certain how this works. But he said: You couldn't have known these things so there must be something going on. It's really important to remember that the father's uniqueness is loved as much as the reader's uniqueness, his son is. So we all have a wonderful gift called the Godforce which flows through each and everyone of us. We have that. But there are times in our life based on the way we are brought up. We actually grow our children away from who they are. I'm going to repeat that. We actually grow our children away from who they really are. Because in our love to take care of our children we know what is best for them. And basically that isn't true. We need to learn to grow our children into who they are, not what we perceive they need so they can be safe and get through life. So many people that I know today, if I say this question to them, if I ask this question, I say: So who were you going to be before you became who you became who you are now? And what were you going to do before you started doing what you do now? And almost every person can tell me what they'd rather be doing. And for me, my friends, that's a heartache.

Alfred:
I actually have a client like that right now. His name is Elaine and he's actually in Italy. He's Italian. Born there. And this was exactly it, from a childhood he knew he wanted to be out in nature. And he had this job and that job and everything drove him crazy but he just had this yearning to be out in nature. And finally as an adult he got out there and he says: I don't understand. Why am I so happy being outside? And he discussed with me his childhood of... You know, I knew what I wanted when I was a child but there's all this peer pressure. My family tells me this. My friends tell me I have to do that. I have to be responsible. But the only thing that makes me happy is being outside. And I think that's simply it people, is you have your answers except we grow away from them.

Hans:
We are grown away from them Alfred. We actually don't grow away from them. We are grown away from them. If you leave a child to their own personal growth, you'd be amazed as to what happens. Okay? So does it matter, if someone for instance says we did something wrong? Alfred, do you think that matters?

Alfred:
Absolutely not. And let me try to paraphrase your teachings Hans. Which is: What somebody says about you is none of your business...

Hans:
That's right.

Alfred:
....but what you think about what someone says about you absolutely is.

Hans:
Should be very much your concern actually.

Alfred:
Because that means you have an opinion of what they said.

Hans:
And you have a judgment of yourself because they said something. If someone says to you: You're lazy. Or someone says to you: You're not living up to my expectations. Quite frankly children that has nothing to do with you. That's not your problem. That's their problem being visited on you. And under no spiritual law do you need to react to that. None. Man made the rules; God made the laws. And nowhere in God's law does it say: You are less than anyone else. That wouldn't be God-like would it? That wouldn't be possible is it? Okay? So if something goes astray Alfred in our life, what do you think are the possibilities in growth for this? See I'm still working on Alfred too...

Alfred:
Yes. That is the joy of being the Paddle On of The Modern Day Mystic Himself is you constantly get lessons thrown at you. But luckily now it's the both of us who throw lessons at everyone else. So you get both of us. So something goes astray. Well here's a possibility. And we talk a lot about possibilities because in the Universe there are infinite possibilities. But how about the possibility that what you consider a mistake is simply a perception, is simply your personal opinion. How do you know if it was a mistake? How do know if it wasn't supposed to go that way? How do you know if it wasn't supposed to happen in the first place? How do you know if it not happening, or it happening a different way is actually the best thing for you? What was that quote from that country song you have Hans? About "unanswered prayers"?

Hans:
"Sometimes I thank God for Unanswered Prayers." Garth Brooks. Boy is that ever true.

Alfred:
If something goes astray, first of all there's the first issue is you perceive it went astray. Well how about you were getting yourself into a pile of do-do and your Guidance came along and said: Let's yank them away from that. You perceive it didn't work. You perceive it failed. When in reality maybe the Other Side saved your beans.

Hans:
Sometimes the Spirit, more times than not, rushes in to save our beans because left on our own, with our own consciousness we can get ourselves into more dog-on problems and in more dog-on troubles. You know, even as a child we know right from wrong. Even as a child. We know that to hit someone is wrong. What is the one thing we always want as a child? A hug. We know whence commenth our strength.  And everyday Spirit has enormous arms and they reach out to you and they say: Please don't believe what your mind chatter is saying to you. Here, come here, we'll give you a hug, let's re-think this path that you're on. And so your job is everyday to say: You know what? I'm going to listen to the Spirit not to this silly mind consciousness of mine. I remember back in the day when Alfred was sort of new at some of this and he would look at me and say: I don't know what in your head rocks, I think, because this can't possibly work. And so I said: Okay, why don't we try something? He'd say... Well, try it. Remember that Alfred?

Alfred:
Yes and that's one thing that we'll repeat time and time again is we'll present a lesson and you may think we're just right off our rockers. And all we tell you is: Look, you probably know how your life works. You know you. You've been with you your whole life. We're giving you options. We're giving you possibilities to say: Hey if you're looking for something else, if you're a seeker, if you're saying: Okay, I'm willing to try something, try it. What is the worst thing that's going to happen? You can go back to the way that you were. 

Hans:
You know, my friends, if you can pull yourself away from: I made a mistake, which is coupled with: I may not be good enough, if you can pull yourself away from that and just say for a moment: I'm really glad that happened because I've learned from that. I get it. I deserve better than that. So there are no mistakes. There are just opportunities for growth. And I think that's the way I'd like to put that  today Alfred, is that the perceptions of mistakes are the opportunities for growth.

Alfred:
And that's another way to look at mistakes. Because a mistake has a negative connotation. It's mind chatter. It's heavy. It is self punishing and what we're saying here, this lesson, is by simply changing your perception, simply changing your definition of what happened. You can either say: Well it was no mistake, I don't fully understand it. Or you can say: Wow, I really learned a lot from that. Those have positive connotations. Positive energy.

Hans:
Absolutely.

Alfred:
And you're not carrying around something negative and you can do that by simply changing your perception.

Hans:
I think what I would really like everyone to take away from this today is that your whole life from the day you're born is about possibilities. The incredible possibility of you. The incredible possibility of no fear. The possibility that God may love you more than you have any idea of. The possibility that you're just fine. That there's nothing more you need to do to be a better you. The possibility that God loves you just the way you are. The possibility that there's a door to abundance, prosperity, love, relationships - it's all there for you, all of it. It's only what we perceive of it that gets in our way. So once you begin to know that, once you begin to understand that and actually hear that truth, everything in your life begins to change. Everything. So this is a wonderful opportunity today for you to look at yourself and say: Am I the person I really want to be? Am I the person that I love the most? How am I with my god? Am I where I wanted to be? Or have I let a series of conditions interfere with my dreams and my joy and my wishes? Alright Alfred, anything that you would like to add to our subject today before we go to questions? And I do notice there are a lot of questions today.

Alfred:
Just something I'd like our old and new people to recognize is: A lot of what we're asking you to do in terms of spiritual growth, life growth, paths to leading a life of happiness, of joy, is by simply changing your perception. What we're doing on this show is going through many different specific areas and saying, okay,  in this specific area, such as mistakes, how about just trying to change your perception? And in the end by trying to change your perception, and in the end by changing your perception you can be more peaceful, you can be more happy, you can be more in touch with the Universe, more of who you really are.

“Everyone Can Hear God” by Hans Christian King - Spiritual Radio Show transcription

GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE Radio Show
with Hans Christian King www.HansKing.com
and Alfred Ricci www.AlfredRicci.com
Topic: Everyone Can Hear God
December 21, 2013


Alfred:
Hello everyone and welcome to Guidance For Your Life. Yes, this is Alfred, once again the Padawan to The Modern Day Mystic himself, Hans Christian King. Tonight's topic is "Everyone Can Hear God". And we're going to take just a couple minutes again to let you know how this relates to the previous topics we've been talking about. I have Hans Christian King right next to me.

Hans:
Hello everyone, nice to have you back again.

Alfred:
And EVERYONE can hear God. This is the foundation of our teachings. And this is really what we've been leading up to over the past several weeks. Again, we started previously with "Letting Go of Pain and Suffering", letting go of things that keep you in your humanness and block you from the Godforce that is around you always. And then we went into a couple of weeks of "Recovering Your Joy and Happiness" in order to help you connect with the Godforce. Connect with your higher self. Connect with that higher vibration, commonly known as Universal Energy, Spirit, God or The Force as they called it in Star Wars, didn't they Hans?

Hans:
That is what they did. Great teachings in that movie, Alfred.

Alfred:
Those are the teachings of Joseph Campbell. So know hearing God and feeling The Force is not reserved for Jedi’s or even Padawan's, which is a Jedi learner if you want know what a Padawan is by the way... Everyone can hear God. And to help us understand some of the core teachings from Hans Christian King, I present him to you.

Hans:
Good evening everyone. Welcome on-board with a wonderful show this evening,  talking about something very near and dear to my heart. Somebody once asked me, what I'd like to be remembered for, and I said: "That I taught them that they weren't alone". I think this is one of the most important teachings ever in my 50 some years of teaching is to help people understand they are surrounded in love. They have angels that watch over them. Even the Bible says: "And God will send his angels to take charge over you". And just knowing that, no matter what the appearance, no matter what's going on...Oh my goodness, I'm still not alone, I'm still connected to that Godforce. Every once in a while if you just grab a pillow or something and just hold it to your chest and say: My God is here. My God loves me. And just feel the love that emanates through your heart chakra from the Godforce. Because they are always watching over you, all the time. Now somebody says: Well, do they watch over everything? No, there are some things they don't bother themselves with because that's too human. But they watch the essence of your soul always. They watch over the essence of consciousness, spiritual consciousness, in you always. So again, we are never ever alone. And sometimes what happens is that we try to reinforce that by saying: I know I'm not alone. And then the mind chatter begins: Well of course you're alone, you don't have anybody holding your hand. Of course you're alone, you're eating by yourself...and it goes through all of that stuff...and if God was watching over me, and the angels were watching over me, then why am I having this trouble at work or why can't I find a job...All of that mind chatter interferes with pure truth. And the pure truth is: You are not alone. That's the key. Alfred, when did you start discovering this?

Alfred:
I love having a simple answer for whenever Hans gives me a question. Automatic Writing. When I learned to channel the other side. And believe it or not, anyone can learn to "hear God" and write down messages from the other side.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
That's what really started it for me was sitting in a room by myself with a blank piece of paper and a pencil and saying: Hi, I'm here. And stuff just came through. Now we pass that along to everybody in our teachings. We do have an Automatic Writing Class coming up. We have that and Spirituality and Your Career coming up in April and May. Which you can find out more from the front page of hansking.com. But everyone can hear God. It's not just, again, reserved for the elite few. And we're going to be going through what are the specific ways, pretty soon that we can all hear God...but back over to Hans.

Hans:
It's important I think for everyone to understand that they are born clairsentient. In other words they have an ability to actually receive information from the other side, from the world of Spirit, without necessarily seeing it or hearing it. They have what we call: A quiet knowing. Now everyone can perceive spiritual vibration and energy as well. I think that sometimes Alfred, people want to believe or they do believe, but they're not certain if it applies to them. When did you find out you were clairsentient. Was it through the Automatic Writing Class do you think?

Alfred:
Yes, yes. It was absolutely through Automatic Writing. 

Hans:
I'd like everyone to know one thing. We don't rehearse this show before we go on.

Alfred:
Rehearse?

Hans:
(laughing) Alfred says: Here's what people want to know; they sent in this email.  And that's where we go from. We never rehearse it, or talk about what we're going to talk about. We just go into the shows so sometimes I throw Alfred in front of the headlights. I don't really mean to do that but it is fun watching you squirm around over there.

Alfred:
You know, I have a wonderful example to pick on. 

Hans:
Yes, you are indeed a wonderful example...

Alfred:
Actually it is a good point. Why I love doing the show so much is because you're looking at, yes someday we'll get back to video, the two of us who come from completely, absolutely opposite ends of the spectrum. Hans was born a full fledged medium...

Hans:
Which he still hasn't gotten over folks.

Alfred:
 ...and then there's those of us who never went to church, never prayed, never did a single thing. Had this entire life and then one day, Poof! We wake up and start the process of self-actualization. So I represent those people who are, shall we say, just starting to learn this stuff. And so it's a wonderful feeling to pass along my experiences of starting from the absolute beginning and saying: This stuff really does work. 

Hans:
One of the core elements of The Intuitive Development Class that we teach, is people finding out how their clairsentient abilities work for them. And when that happens, when you get that vibrational "click" I'm going to call it, it's like perception. You've heard me say it's like looking at a cloud and somebody says:  Oh look, I can see Micky Mouse in the clouds! And you look and you look and you look and by golly you can't find Micky Mouse until somebody takes your finger and begins to draw the ears. And all of a sudden - Boom! Now I see it! The same thing that happened to Alfred happens to all of the people who take The Intuitive Development Class. So the foundation, the basis for all clairvoyance is clairsentient. Mothers have this innate feeling if their children are in trouble. Men have what they call a “gut feeling”. Women have what they call "mother's intuition". So we all have an ability to "hear" from the Spirit when something needs to be done. We get an uneasy feeling. I can't tell you how many people  have said to me: I just knew something was coming. I would squirm, I would...I knew that something was up. I couldn't quite figure out what it was until I got the phone call.

Alfred:
And what we do is we help you tap into that. We help you tap into when to pay attention, when something is your mind chatter, or when something is actually the other side giving you information you should pay attention to.

Hans:
Absolutely. You know Alfred, all people really do have the ability to develop spiritually.

Alfred:
And that's what's so important - All People. Everyone has the ability to get in contact with their angels because by divine right, everyone has at least one angel. And if you look in the dictionary, you will find, in any dictionary, angels are the messengers of God.

Hans:
Absolutely.

Alfred:
Okay? And if everyone has an angel and angels are messengers, then pretty much it makes sense that everyone should be able to "hear" their angels, "hear" messages from God. And that's what we're hear trying to explain to you tonight what are the different ways you can "hear". 

Hans:
And some people Alfred...I know I've had quite a few clients who say: You know, I totally believe, I totally know that it happens, but I'm just not certain it can happen for me. And I want to say to those people, right then and there, in that statement you've made a prediction of your ability to receive information from Spirit. Because you're lending a negative thought to a positive possibility. Just say: Yes I can. Yes I am. Yes it works. And yes, it applies to me. When you do that, what you've done is actually opened the floodgate of truth. You're saying to Spirit: I believe. I don't necessarily know how it applies to me but I believe it is part of my direction. And it is at that moment that they begin to open the necessary doors. I remember that Alfred used to think that I was smoking something, I think he once said. Was that what you said?

Alfred:
Yes. I wanted to know what he was on when he told me: Yes, you're going to develop spiritually and you're going to be teaching this stuff with me and I said: Really? Hmm, isn't that interesting Hans?

Hans:
(chuckling)

Alfred:
I'm a banker. Yes...that was 8 years ago. Was that 8 years ago?

Hans:
8 years ago next month.

Alfred:
Aah... Oh the joy in those 8 years.

Hans:
Pure joy.

Alfred:
(gently laughing)

Hans:
I never said to you Alfred that it would be easy.

Alfred:
Yes. It's not called a Personal Journey for any reason. They don't call it inner work for any particular reason besides, yes, it is work. It is work to go inside. It is work to look at your demons. It is work to let go of pain and suffering. Hopefully, it's a little easier to let joy, and bliss and peace into your life. But through that work, you become much more in tune with spiritual vibration. That tune, that vibration that everyone, all people, have access to which is clairvoyancy...

Hans:
No...

Alfred:
...clairsentient. I got it wrong. My bad.

Hans:
You see he's still a work in training folks.

Alfred:
Yes...Hold on...Yes, clairsentient. Everyone is clairsentient. Everyone has the ability to perceive, receive, interpret, get information via vibration and energy. Spiritual vibration and energy.

Hans:
Exactly. And you know Alfred, some people call it clairsentience. I call it clairsentient but it doesn't make any difference. The same different words apply to the same truth.

Alfred:
And again, we're talking about what we've talked about before. Some people call it "mother's intuition". Men call it a "gut feeling". It is that intuition, that feeling is what we're talking about.

Hans:
A lot of women call it "women’s intuition" too so... But it's all the same thing. You know Alfred, there are a lot of people that are also clairvoyant who don't really know they're clairvoyant. And these individuals really have an ability to hear sometimes, which is mostly reserved for clairaudient and I'll go and talk about that. But many people are clairvoyant and think there's something the matter with them. Now, as a youngster I saw things and heard people and I was taken to all kinds of very strange and unusual situations as a very young child. And this was a situation where they explained to me that I had what they called an "extra sight". In other words, I could see things and know things that were about to happen, or had happened, or going to happen. All of this was all rolled into one thing for me. I was taught that there were images, words, and symbols. So what they did was help me to develop a language that later on came to help all these thousands of people. Now Alfred, clairvoyance means "seeing without your eyes but with your soul".

Alfred:
That's correct. And all of the things that we're talking about here...whether you have a gut feeling, intuition, whether you're seeing things, all of these things don't come from your brain. And that's why people really dismiss them because so many of us train our brain to say: All information must come from our brain. Well we say: No...

Hans:
No, it's not true.

Alfred:
...information can come from Spirit, can come from God, can come from angels, the guidance that watches over you. And this is an introduction to say what are the different ways that you can receive information. Of course there's a 9 hour class... This is just an introduction to what's called Intuitive Development. How can you develop your intuition, develop your connection to the other side. So we do our best to give you as much information as we can on these radio shows but for 1/2 hour a week, hey we're glad we can actually do it. So again, for clairsentient, that is the ability to perceive spiritual vibration and energy. Clairvoyance is the ability to receive images, words and symbols. And not everybody has all of these. There are many other ways. Everybody receives information differently don't they Hans?

Hans:
Yes. And folks I do want to clear up one thing. What I sort of said was that clairvoyance doesn't necessarily mean seeing with your eyes but with your soul. Many people...many people are able to see people in spirit, they're able to see their little pet dog that passed away. They're able to see what we call ectoplasm or mist. But the internal seeing is the normal one. Where you just have a quiet seeing that goes on inside of you. And that can be developed to a very large extent by taking our Intuitive Development Classes. Now Alfred, when are we going to do a live "Intuitive Development Class"? We haven't sorted that out yet.

Alfred:
That's a really good question Hans.

Hans:
Yes. I'm really good at throwing these things at you.

Alfred:
All we have planned right now is "Automatic Writing" and "Spirituality and Your Career". And as soon as we have that Intuitive Development Class, which we used to hold on Vernon Ave and Mystic Journeys when Mystic Journeys was around and we had the school for Intuitive Development right next door. But unfortunately Mystic Journeys didn't make it. But we're now back in Asheville, so if you're looking for classes or if interested in a particular class just go to hansking.com and shoot us an email or just poke around hansking.com to see what's there. Now of course we have a huge library of classes including Intuitive Development on our store. So if you just want to dive in immediately, you can listen to a huge variety of topics and classes.

Hans:
I believe we have both an audio and a visual class is that right?

Alfred:
Correct. We did a class in audio only and then we did a class that was in video. So if you want to take us in your car, in your iPod, you can do that. Play us on the CD or MP3 player. Or if you want to watch us on the computer you can do that also. You have a lot of options.

Hans:
By the way are we on iTunes?

Alfred:
Yes. We have a Podcast. And for some reason if you're not able to listen to us live at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, either through 880AM or through iHeart Radio, then you can listen to our Podcast. And we have 2 different ways that you can Podcast. You don't need iTunes. You can go to our Podcast page on the internet or you can go to our Podcast page in iTunes. Both of these are available on the Radio Show page on hansking.com that says "No iTunes Required" or "With iTunes". You can just pick whichever one you want and a lot of times, actually for everyone who's international who can't get iHeart Radio, then that is the way you would be listening to us. So if you've got people that you want to share this show with who happen to be international, please share with them the iTunes links. Whether it's the URL to the Webcast page or the link to the iTunes or just simply send them to the Radio Show page on hansking.com.

Hans:
Alrighty now. There is another way of being with Spirit which is called clairaudience. And clairaudience is the ability to hear sounds, words and voices from the other side, from the Spirit. Now some people find this very frightening. I'm hearing voices...And I used to say back in the day, psychiatrists and therapists used to send people to me because they were hearing voices and they had always before sort of diagnosed medication for this and noticed that it really didn't help. So as I became more well known in the community that I lived in, different therapists and psychotherapists and psychiatrists would actually come for a sitting with me, as we used to call them. And in that process they would be shown how it works and they would say: Well, this is amazing, and I've got somebody who could use this service that you could help. So gradually I started getting a lot of clairaudient people. And I'm very happy to say that my guidance was able to help them and help them to understand they were not crazy. They were actually getting things and that they were actually okay. That there was nothing actually "wrong" with them. Alfred, what was the key for you that made Automatic Writing okay?

Alfred:
When you receive guidance, when you receive true guidance from the other side, the amount of love, the absolutely clarity that comes through just strikes you in the middle of your chest as being truth, as being Wow! This is what I've been looking for for so many years. And it just connects with you. Like when you're looking for something you say: I don't know what I'm looking for but when I find it, I'll know it. And that is what true guidance feels like. You just know it to be correct. Now there's one thing that Hans and I have noticed throughout the years is out of the three main ways we've talked about - whether you just perceive vibration and energy, whether you see things, or whether you actually hear, it's not really more important which ones of these, whether it's all of them, just one of them, or a couple of them that you have. Everyone has a different ability, different ways, different ways of connecting, different ways of receiving information. Hans wasn't there a person down in Florida that you were telling me about that wasn't anything more than clairsentient?

Hans:
Yes. And got phenomenal information. And I'm going to tell everyone, listen. Some of the greatest mediums and seers in the world, ever in the history of mankind, have only been clairsentient. Only clairsentient. And it's from that place that Spirit developed the language for them that allowed them to say these words: And I'm hearing, and I'm feeling that, you see. That's how it began for so many people and all of you have clairsentient abilities. Some of you have a little clairvoyant possibilities that are overshadowing your clairvoyancies, some of you have them overshadowing your clairaudience. Alfred is waiting, he has actually heard words a couple times have you not?

Alfred:
Yes. A couple of times somebody said my name when there was absolutely nobody around me. I think it's like they were just poking me...

Hans:
Trying to get your attention.

Alfred:
Got my attention. But for example, I am basically clairsentient. That's my main focus. My main way of receiving information. On occasion I do see things. And then there's just other people that hear Spirit just like you're like talking to or hearing us through the microphone right now.

Hans:
Which is kind of how I hear it. Although it drives Alfred crazy. I try to explain to him, there's no better way to develop this than through clairsentient. And so what we do is teach you your fundamentals or your base. What is your base. And then how to grow from your base into your clairaudience if you have those vibrations, or your clairvoyancy if you have those vibrations. So that we give you an opportunity to cover just about everything. So everyone can learn. Everyone can learn to talk to the Godforce. Everyone can learn how to receive information that might help you to understand to turn left or to turn right or yes or no. One of the things I've always said is: Wouldn't it be nice if you could develop yourself to a point of getting answers – yes or no. Just think what that would do for you in your lifetime. Just think what that would do. It would be amazing, would it not? Alright Alfred, I think that concludes the lesson for today.

“Receiving Guidance From Your Angels” by Hans Christian King - Spiritual Radio Show transcription

GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE Radio Show
with Hans Christian King www.HansKing.com
and Alfred Ricci www.AlfredRicci.com
Topic:  Receiving Guidance From Your Angels
December 14, 2013


Alfred:
Hello everyone and welcome to Guidance For Your Life. Yes, this is Alfred the Padawan to The Modern Day Mystic Himself, Hans Christian King. Today's topic is "Receiving Guidance from your Angels". But before we dive into the topic like we normally do, we decided to take a little bit of time and explain to you how this topic of “Receiving Guidance” fits into all we've been talking about. Which is: “Letting Go of Pain”, “Letting Go of Suffering” and “How to Receive Joy”. What do these topics have to do with “Receiving Guidance from your Angels”? The whole purpose of all of these topics has to do with the holiday season, of course. Being joyful, letting go of pain...All of this has to do with helping you enjoy the holiday season. Not just with your relatives. Not just with your friends. But with all of your sacred relations. With your relationships, with your guidance, with your soul mates and of course with your family and with all of those souls that you've agreed to have relationships with. Whether they're in spirit form or whether they're in physical form. And Hans, a lot of this has to do with the simple fact that the more joyous and happy you are, not only do you feel happier, but the more in touch with yourself you are, the more in touch with everyone else you can be.

Hans:
Absolutely. And you know folks, joy and happiness are not something that belongs to someone else. They belong to you has well. And sometimes it's very hard to find joy and happiness in this modern day world of ours. What with the appearance of all the pressures, and all the craziness that goes on with the government...And who's running the country today and what's guiding the country today and is the country okay? Am I okay? What's going to happen to me? All these things that go through your mind. But I think if everyone can remember this one important factor: “You are not alone”. It will go a long ways towards helping you move into a new way of perceiving your life. And if you're able to change the way you look at things and use this holiday period as that time of introspection and going within and saying, you know what: Where am I unhappy? What part of me is not working? And a lot of times we'll find the appearance of the lack of recognition in the world. People don't seem to get us.  People don't seem to know who we are. We seem to be invalidated at our work. Or a friend says something. All these things, all this mind chatter, this mumbo jumbo nonsense, none of which is true, none of which should affect the outcome of your life...You know Alfred, the Spirit said to me once: When they cry, we cry.

Alfred:
And that's a very interesting concept for you to understand is that your guidance, the people, the souls that watch over you are very close to you.

Hans:
Oh, yes.

Alfred:
You may not feel that they are. But in reality they really are very close to you and not only is being happy and letting go of pain, keys to leading a wonderful life but how many times have you heard or felt that because you or someone else was happy, that the people around them were happy? Well that's the same thing with your guidance. That if you're happy, then your guidance is happy.

Hans:
Right. And if you're sad, your angels weep with you. 

Alfred:
Okay. And all of this has to do with our topic for today. We're just tying you into the previous few topics that we've been talking about. That “Receiving Guidance from your Angels” - communicating with those spirits that watch over you - has a lot to do with being happy and joyful.

Hans:
You know Alfred, joy and happiness really and truly are keys to allowing God into your life. I know that you have personally walked down that path before. How did you reach the place where suddenly you had an awareness that you weren't alone? That you really were being guided and you had assistance from the Spirit?

Alfred:
That's a good question.

Hans:
I think it will help a lot of people at this time of the year. It's one of those "deer in the headlight" moments that I throw Alfred...

Alfred:
Oh, I just love these...

Hans:
(Chuckling) Yes, but great truth comes out of these.

Alfred:
I think the more you go within, the more you start letting go of illusions, perceptions, and opinions, the more you're able to see things clearly. And one of the things I was able to see more clearly is that when God had stepped in, in the  early part of my life, and saved my beans, really saved my beans, and I didn't really connect the dots previously because everything was a big fog because I was in that state of life of focusing on industrial strength aspirin and pain relievers like so many people do when they're unhappy. Once you start letting go of anger, once you start letting go of trauma, then you start seeing: Oh my God, there was that time and there was this time where this miracle happened and that miracle happened and things just start clicking to say: Wow, they really have been walking with me. I've got a couple of pretty good examples if we have time later.

Hans:
When you reach a certain point in your life Alfred, where you're feeling slightly floaty or disconnected or you can touch a little sadness in your being....If you would just remember that all around you, every day, always are your angels or your guides as we call them, that have never left you from day one. Were with you before you entered this plane, are with you now, and will be with you once again when you depart this plane. But all during is incarnation their attempt is to try to help you into joy, and into happiness and to change your perception of what's going on for you in the moment. And that's why when I say: When you are sad, your angels weep with you. Not for you, but with you. Just like parents Alfred. God wants it's children to be happy and to play.

Alfred:
Yes. And this is a huge perception, a shift, that if you think of parents, what is going to make them happy? If their kids are happy, if their kids are living a wonderful life. There's nothing that they're going to do besides just look at their kids and say: Ah, isn't that cute? They're having fun, they're playing, they're being joyful. What parent wouldn't be happy just looking down at their kids saying: Oh, isn't that cool? They're happy. I have a happy kid! Here's a wonderful perspective that the other side looks at us and wants us to be happy in a very similar fashion. That they're actually looking, not down at us, but looking at us as simply children having experiences, new experiences, and they're looking at us saying: Oh, he's happy. Well, they smile with us. 

Hans:
So, like parents, the Godforce is non-judgmental. They see us when we fall down. They see us when we surge forward. They're always there beside us. But one of the things they try to impart upon us is: What you're seeing, is that really real? What you're feeling, is that really real? And so this is why they ask you to look at life perhaps a little differently than what the normal everyday genre might bring to you. What's in it for you today? What can you learn today? And your parents are always there to help you do your homework... Yes, Mr. Alfred. "Deer in the headlights" moment once again"...

Alfred:
Our parents are always there to help us do our homework...

Hans:
Yes. In other words we have our lessons preset by us. But our parents are always there to help us with whatever that is, whatever that lesson might be. How to perceive that lesson in a different fashion. Or here are some tools that you can use that might help you in that perception of that lesson.

Alfred:
Aah, well there we go. And like most parents they want us to learn on our own.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
Because the more you learn on your own, the more you'll be able to incorporate that into life. Here's a really good question: What does all of this have to do with communicating with the other side? Receiving guidance from your angels? Following up on what Hans just said, is that yes, just like parents, guidance is there to help us with our lessons, with our experiences. It is the feeling of joy, the feeling of bliss, happiness...That vibration is how Spirit leads us. That is how you simply can tell: Is this for me? Is this on my path? Is this according to my life path?

Hans:
Right.

Alfred:
Is Spirit agreeing with decision, this option?

Hans:
Right.

Alfred:
Okay, that is what is so important. That is a lot of the basis of our teachings for Intuitive Development...

Hans:
Alfred, what's the most common question asked by a child?

Alfred:
Why.

Hans:
There you go. So what you have is when you ask your parents something and maybe it's in your homework or your life's lesson, you can say: Why? And someone is there to explain it to you. And the closer you draw to the Spirit in joy and happiness, the clearer Alfred, the message becomes.

Alfred:
Absolutely.  And for those of us who...Hans loves when I talk about this...We're not born with the ability to hear the other side the way Hans does.

Hans:
I was.

Alfred:
Yes, he was.

Hans:
So don't say "we're not" because that's not a true statement.

Alfred:
Yes, for those of us...

Hans:
Who are slightly handicapped...

(Hans chuckling)

Alfred:
...who are learning this ability how to receive guidance from the other side, we like to start with simple “Yes” or “No” answers.

Hans:
Absolutely.

Alfred:
Okay? And that's the start. And eventually yes, you will get more words. You will get sentences. You will get thoughts. But we're starting with a very basic topic here of, how about getting a simple “Yes” or “No” answer from the other side and then yes, it does evolve into much more complex... But quite simply, what we're trying to explain to you is, if you're saying: God please guide me, please help me make a decision, I could use your guidance and what you receive is a happy, joyous, blissful, peaceful energy, peaceful vibration, that is "Yes".

Hans:
Yes. Absolutely.

Alfred:
If you receive a stressful, weighty, difficult energy...

Hans:
A heaviness in other words...

Alfred:
...that's a "No" answer.

Hans:
But they can be taught this. And that's one of the things we do and think that's of enormous value Alfred.

Alfred:
Yes, it is. And that's why so much of the previous topics that we've been talking about have to do with “feelings”. Feeling bad, feeling good. We're saying feeling bad...

Hans:
I think that's why you say in your classes: And how does this feel?

Alfred:
Exactly. And literally these topics are little mini lessons that we teach in the larger classes. You know if you want to take the larger classes, great. This is a huge part of the Intuitive Development Class that we have for sale on hansking.com.  It is our mainstay topic. It is the core of Hans' teachings. If you don't want to take our classes, that's completely fine too. We're of service to everyone and anyone. If you happen to have money to buy our classes, great. If you don't...

Hans:
If you don't, it's alright. We have so many free downloads Alfred. So much information is on the website.

Alfred:
We do. We have everything from $3 or $4 lessons up to a couple hundred dollar classes that will change your life.

Hans:
And we're soon to have some things out there for $1 or $2.

Alfred:
Oh yes, we're working on those. We've just found a huge box of Hans' original recordings from like 10 and 20 years ago and we're looking for help to take those   tapes, cassette tapes...

Hans:
Remember those Alfred?

Alfred:
Yes, cassette tapes.

Hans:
I lived off those tapes.

Alfred:
I did too actually. I had a huge box of them I used to carry in the car.

Hans:
We had no idea what a CD was.

Alfred:
(Laughing) Anyway, we have a huge box of those and we're looking for a little bit of help to just clean those up and digitize them...

Hans:
Is that a "Hint", "Hint"?

Alfred:
“Hint”, “hint”. If anybody knows how to transfer...

Hans:
We could not run the practice or this show without the wonderful volunteers we have in place. It simply would not be possible.

Alfred:
So anyway, back to what we were talking about, all of these are little mini lessons of the classes that we have. And we're ever so grateful to be of service and get these out to everyone. But this is a core teaching of all of our classes that the feeling of joy is how Spirit leads us. If something makes you happy, then it probably is according to your life path. It probably is that the universe is guiding you. I mean this goes all the way back to the teachings of Joseph Campbell, Hans...

Hans:
Yes, that is correct.

Alfred:
...which is: Follow your bliss and the doors will open.

Hans:
Yes. And one of the things he also said is: Follow your bliss and the money will follow, Alfred. That when you get into bliss... Bliss is abundance, happiness is abundance, joy is abundance. These are all abundant emotions. They have an abundant energy attached to them. Alfred. And when people actually realize: Oh my goodness I do far better when I'm happy than when I'm sad. The sad energy denotes a difficulty in the vibration around you and you start to literally draw to you negativity. A lot of you, so many of our listeners, are what we call clair-sentient. And they actually are so sensitive to vibration that they pick up the events that are going on. It's like the stock market folks. All anybody has to do is whisper some negative news and it goes down. Craziness. So we do much better on the market in happy times just as you do much happier in your personal life finding a place of joy and peace.


Alfred:
So you might be thinking: What the heck does any this have to do with stress, being unhappy, say a weighty negative energy? Quite simply, that means it's probably the direction the universe is saying: No, we don't want you to go in that direction. So how is this different from what we were taught traditionally? Those of us who have a ridiculously amount of education or who follow the western ideal of stress is good, we're going to persevere, we're gonna push through this, we're gonna get through this... Maybe that's just not the direction you should be going. Maybe that stress, that negative energy that you should persevere and get through is... Just say: Maybe I should just stop. Maybe I just shouldn't do this. Not to say that anything and everything you're going to do...

Hans:
But don't you feel though Alfred, that for a lot of people turning loose of their control of how the outcome is going to come, is so scary that they almost can't do it?

Alfred:
Exactly. And one of the most basic spiritual teachings is: Surrender.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
Surrender to the universe. Surrender. Let go and let God. I've seen a bunch of religious people have "Let Go and Let God" on bumper stickers on their car.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
That is a basic spiritual teaching, to surrender...to let go.

Hans:
But boy is that ever... I mean once you get a clear understanding that you don't have to fix what you perceive the problem is, you can give the problem away and it gets fixed to your highest good. Once you really settle into that and you know how that universal law works, your life absolutely changes Alfred.

Alfred:
Absolutely. And that's a lot about our previous teachings that we started on, “Letting Go of Pain and Suffering”. Now we're saying: Let it go because that's the wrong direction.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
If you want to focus on receiving communication, receiving guidance from the other side, you have to let go of basically anything that's stressful, weighty, negative. That negative energy, regardless of whether you understand it or not,  because it is tapping into the vibration of joy and happiness that will allow you to be led, allows you to hear your guidance.

Hans:
Yes. Absolutely. So again, just like parents, the Godforce wants you to be happy. So you always, always have the fallback to happiness with belief. And doing what you love will also connect you to your spiritual support. I think that is very important for people to understand.

Alfred:
Yes, it is a little amazing when you find out that you were born with everything that you need. You were born with the tools, the skills, the abilities, to do what you wanted to do. And, if you wanted to know if God wants you to be happy or not, if you do something and it makes you happy, you can pretty much say: Yes! 

Hans:
Yes, absolutely.

Alfred:
...this is according to my life path.

Hans:
And this feels good to me. This is how I would like to feel.

Alfred:
So by doing the things that make you happy, you're actually doing and experiencing are the things you wanted to do when you came down here.

Hans:
There you are.

Alfred:
That's your life path.

Hans:
Again folks, doing what you love, feeling what you love, doing it, will connect you to all the spiritual support that you have around you every single day, that has never gone anywhere.

Alfred:
This is a comical way to think about it is: If you're off your life path, Spirit will get whatever stick they can and start whacking you over the head...

Hans:
That's right...that's right.

Alfred:
...to whack you back in the general direction...

Hans:
I used to say to Spirit: Alfred's so stubborn you need a 2x4 to whack him over the head. Remember that?

Alfred:
Yes. And the farther off you get from your life path the harder they will try to hit you to get you back on your life path.

Hans:
Absolutely.

Alfred:
If you're a little off, you get a little nudge. If you were like me, then you get whacked really hard.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
So, if you're getting whacked over the head and you're wondering why you're getting whacked, you might just stop and say: Hmm. But on the other hand, if you're on your path, you're doing what you love, if you're doing what makes you happy...

Hans:
If you're feeling connected.

Alfred:
...if you feel connected, then the universe is going to support you.

Hans:
Always.

Alfred:
They're going to give you a little shove and say: Yea! And cheer you on and give you energy and abundance and support you. 

Hans:
You know Alfred, we're actually designed, if you will, to be happy. It's not something that's a stranger to us. We come into the world and yes we cry because there's such an enormous change in the atmosphere that has surrounded us. We were warm and cozy and now look, it's cold...and strange  beings looking at us and taking pictures of us. But basically we're designed to be happy. I saw recently Alfred, it takes less muscles to smile and more muscles to frown. Isn't that interesting?

Alfred:
Yes. Because in our ever so wonderful western culture, we're taught stress is good, stress is your friend, be angry, I'm angry, you're angry, let's all be angry...

Hans:
I want everybody to understand Alfred that when we talk about western culture we do not say it in a derogatory fashion. 

Alfred:
No...

Hans:
What I am saying to you and what Alfred is saying to you, is that in our life experiences, we are predisposed to fail. We are predisposed from the beginning of our life...we were told we have to work hard to be somebody. We teach you that what you already have is that divine connection with the angels, with the Godforce and that you can come here and experiment. Do all the things that make you happy...But the Christ put it very well when he said: Learn to be in the world, but not of it. And that is what Alfred and I teach.

Alfred:
We give you options.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
We give you possibilities. We're not saying anybody's right or wrong. Everybody is where they are and where they should be.  What we're saying is: Here's some options. Here's some possibilities.

Hans:
And we're saying: Here's what we know. And you know folks, as a teacher for many of you, I have been doing this work for over 56 years. And there is a certain theme that develops in your life when you've been teaching people something.  You see how the Spirit, how the universe constantly re-designs the awareness of the teacher as society changes. So what we're giving you today may be 1000% opposite of what you were taught in school. And what we're saying is: If you're not happy, have a look at another tool. And you may find that the other tool brings you to happiness. It has with everyone I've ever known.

Alfred:
It's worked with me. And a lot of you know...

Hans:
You were no piece of cake Buddy, I'll tell you.

Alfred:
A lot of you know my background...

Hans:
Oh my goodness...

Alfred:
I spent a ridiculous amount of money to get that ridiculous education and I was, even though I was wildly successful, I was ungodly miserable. I'm like, okay, if I'm so successful as per western standards following the American Dream...

Hans:
I tell the story....

Alfred:
...why am I so miserable? And that's why I'm so fervent. What I'm really try to say, is this stuff works if you really try it. No, it's not going to be for everybody. Not everything is going to be for everybody. That's why we give it to you in little pieces to say: Here try this one, try that one, try this one. See if it works for you. See if it settles in for you. If not you can go back to the way you were. But we try to give it to you in bite size pieces so that you can just try this little thing into your life.

Hans:
You know Alfred, awhile back I had a client gentleman come to see me and he was railing about his fabulous education and he'd been to Princeton and he was a CEO of a company and he had, as far as he was concerned, become quite successful. And I just looked at him and said, "Sir, I'm very confused about something. If you're so happy, and you're so successful, what are you doing here"? And he paused, because he said, "I'm actually very miserable. My life isn't working. I have all of the trimmings but none of the substance. I have no substance in my life. My wife doesn't love me. My children don't like me." I said, "Why"? He said, "Because I'm never home. I'm too busy working to give them an education". I said, "They'd much rather have you. Give them the possibilities of you. Give your wife the possibilities of you". And he had the hardest time Alfred,  trying to understand how all that he had been taught and all he had done had led him to an unhappy place.

Alfred:
Yes, and that's it. There is so much out there, whether you're talking to your friends, whether you're getting an education, whether you're watching television, that's says: Follow the American Dream and we're saying: No, there's options. There are other options. If you've followed that path and you're miserable, you're stressed, your kids are not happy with you, the wife is not happy with you, we're saying: Look, here's another option. Just try these things in your life.

Hans:
You know Alfred, one of our wonderful tools is called: “You Are Enough”. And what I love about "You Are Enough" is in the opening Spirit says: What if you woke up tomorrow morning and you found out that just who you are in this moment was enough for God? There was nothing you needed to do, nowhere you needed to go, nothing you needed to accomplish to be better than you already were. And that's such an alien concept don't you feel?

Alfred:
It is because we're always taught that you have to get more degrees. You have to get a better title. You have to earn more money. You have to have a newer car. You have to have a bigger house. You have to have a pretty or more handsome spouse because you have to keep up with the Jones'. You have to keep up with your appearance. You have to dress the part. I had to deal with that for so many years; you have to dress the part. And what we're saying is: No, you don't have to do all these things. You don't have to do what people tell you, we're telling you to go within and do what makes you feel happy...

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
...instead of going out there to find your happiness. To go within to find your happiness.

Hans:
You know Alfred, I had a client the other day and she said after listening to the show for about 3 months, her life had changed. And she said, her girlfriends asked her to go shopping with them. And this is something they do every year. And they hit between 30 and 40 stores. And they tear the clothes apart and they try things on. And she said suddenly she recalled saying to them, "You know, I think I want to go home". And the girl said, “Well why?” She said, “This doesn't do anything for me anymore. My children are at home with a babysitter and I'm out trying on clothes. My children will be grown shortly and what will they remember of me?” And she said she went home, she paid the babysitter and she asked the children what they wanted. And they said, “We want to go for some ice cream”. She said she had more fun on that trip with the kids, buying them ice cream, than all the times she'd ever spent shopping. Perception Alfred is everything.

Alfred:
Perception and connecting. Ready? Coming full circle, connecting to that natural flow, connecting to the universe, connecting to the universal energy...

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
...connecting to your guidance. 

Hans:
Well you know Alfred, constant stress does mean: You're off your path.

Alfred:
And what we're trying to tell you is: Look for what comes natural. Go with the flow. And it is that flow, it is that positive energy, it is happiness, it is joy, that will tell you if you're on your life path. And then the universe will support that. If you just feel a natural high...Here's a good one: I was born to do this! Okay? Then you probably were born to do that.

Hans:
Absolutely.

Alfred:
But what we can tell you is that the mind chatter will come in and brutally tear that apart, about how you can't make money, how people are going to judge you, how that's not the right thing, how you weren't raised for that, what are people going to think about you. That's a whole other subject that we can't cover now that we have. We have about 20 or 25 different products on how to deal with that when it stops. All we can do is tell you that if you tie into something that makes you happy, that makes you joyous, you're in the flow of your life.

Hans:
Right. And you know Alfred, let's say that someone gets that. Okay. So they understand the process and they say to Spirit: You know, I wish now that you  help me change my life path. This is what I would like to be doing. Unfortunately, the mind chatter tells them that it should start right away or fairly quickly. Because...well if it's true, that you can have what you want, shouldn't it happen right away? That is not the case. Because there's a lesson attached to the belief. It's called: Belief. In other words, once you make your commitment to you, and your life's path, do you believe it? Or are you just saying it? Now somebody may say to me: Hans, I wish to open a boutique in Acapulco, Mexico but I don't have any money right now. Okay. Now this is what the Spirit will say to you: Yes, you can. And yes that will work for you. But it takes just a little time children for them to put the mechanical energy in place that brings that possibility to you. But in the meantime, you can go on the internet, a great resource we never had in my day, and you can do research. You can look up stuff. You can look up neighborhoods. You can see where you'd like your little store to be. You can check housing rentals. All this stuff you can be doing as you believe enough to set the thought in motion. So doing what comes naturally does mean you're in the flow. Now believe it. Because when you're happy, your mind is at ease and you can hear God and that direction will open up for you.

Alfred:
And that is the direction that we're trying to take you towards. For thousands of years, all of the great masters have known, meditate, be peaceful, be joyful. Okay? Meditation is a true path to God. And what we're saying is: Absolutely, that is correct. Now do you need to meditate? No, not necessarily.

Hans:
No, not really.

Alfred:
All you need to do is be in a meditative state. What is a meditative state? A meditative state is being happy, being joyful.

Hans:
Well, it's a tool isn't it Alfred?

Alfred:
It's being peaceful. It is a tool. It is a way of being. And if you are that way, then it helps you be connected to God. And there was something the other day I was talking to Barbara about is enlightenment is not the end game; enlightenment is the first step.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
Enlightenment means there is another way. I'm going to go down that path. So if you're enlightened, if you wake up, if any of this makes any sense to you, if any of this strikes you in your chest as saying: Wow! then you are beginning the journey of being enlightened. Then starts the journey.

Hans:
Before we go to questions Alfred, I'd like to take just a moment if I could please. Folks, I have been very blessed in my life to know many, many wonderful,   wonderful people in service. But very few people have I met who have a connection with animals who can actually communicate with animals. Way back in the day when we had our own place, I had my own Center here, and we had a wonderful gal who would come down from Virginia and she would be completely booked for the entire time she was here. And I personally took my little dog Lu Lu and the woman was remarkable in her accuracy. I have found someone absolutely as good - and her name is Barbara Gargiulo. And I want to say to you, those of you who may be struggling with your animals, or may want to see where you animal is at, I would request that you would perhaps open yourself up to the possibility of meeting Barbara. She's absolutely, utterly remarkable when it comes to animals. I remember once there was something we were doing and she had a chat with the crows, and they had been squawking and carrying on for a long time, and they immediately stopped. She just has a gift with dogs, kitties...I haven't talked to her about goldfish yet, but if there's something that you need, we have a wonderful new resource here that I would highly encourage anyone that's having a struggle with their pet, or you may feel your pet is depressed, to send Alfred an email and we'll pass it along to her. Alright?
