Topic: Seeing Past The Illusion

May 31, 2014

Alfred:

Hello everyone and welcome to GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE. This is Alfred the Padawan Learner to the Modern Day Mystic himself. We are broadcasting from Asheville, North Carolina. We have returned to the mountains after the U.S. has gotten through the deep freeze. So there's a couple of things that are going on. If you are in the area Hans is seeing clients in Asheville, North Carolina and also we're attending a Spiritual Fair - July 12 - being held at the Masonic Temple in Asheville, North Carolina. You can contact us for more information on either of those. We're continuing with our Facebook Contest. We're moving everyone as much as possible to Hans King's "Like" Page - that means his Business Page - and that's Facebook/hanschristianking1. You can find out more about going to the Home Page of HansKing.com and you can win a reading with Hans King. The top 3 people who share the most and get their friends to "like" our Facebook Page could win a reading with Hans. And I think that's it for the announcements Hans, so let's just jump into the topic for today. Without further ado I present to you Hans Christian King.

Hans:

Good afternoon everyone. Very wonderful to be back with everyone. It's a beautiful day today. You know I had a chance to be standing on the back deck looking out through the  forest and I closed my eyes and I got one view and I opened my eyes and I got another view. In other words when you close your eyes you actually hear and resonate with what's going on in the forest. When you open your eyes your mind has a visual perception of what its seeing, what it wants to see...this bird here, a squirrel there...what have you. It's kind of like in life you know, seeing past the illusion. When I was very young a wonderful Medium by the name of Lilian said to me...I was probably 19 years old so you know that was a long time ago...She said: Always remember Hans that things are not as they appear...not as you see them. And she said: Learning to see past what your mind perceives is in front of you will grow you spiritually tenfold. I thought that was a bit strange. But as time has gone by Spirit has proven to me time and time again that things are not always as they appear. We only, in our minds eye, can identify with what we know. However, if we learn to see past the appearance and we say: Hmm-mm, I wonder what's really in here. What is this really about? For instance I talked to a friend of mine this morning and they had been in a difficult relationship and the person was trying to come back into their life and... I said to them: You know you need to look at perhaps seeing past the appearance of this. What is this relationship really reminding you of? And they said: What? And I said: What is this relationship really remind you of? What is the loss of this relationship? Well then they started to open up. Well, I lost my father, he divorced my mother at a certain age, and that loss was horrific for me and I guess maybe there's a little bit of that in there and then my first boyfriend and there was a little bit of that in there... So sometimes when we're looking at something and it causes us pain stop for a moment and say: Am I really feeling this pain because of this or do I need to look past this to see where this pain may be actually coming from? Now you've heard me for years say: Uh oh. As my friend Alexandra would say: I wonder what's in this for me today. You know folks everyday that we operate on this plane that we're existing on right now we pass through thousands and thousands of other people's cycles, their energies, their dharmas, their plan. So life isn't just clear cut. You just get up in the morning and off you go and you hold a straight line. No, life is about compromise, it's about truly trying to understand what is happening in the moment, what is actually going on in the moment. Is what you're seeing true? Or is your mind deciding that it looks like and or it feels like something that happened many years ago. Is that what's happening? Things are not always as they appear. For instance our Native American people used to say: Don't judge anyone until you've walked a mile in the moccasins. That's very true. Very true. Let's say that one loses a job. For a moment stop and think: Hmm-mm, I wonder what's in this for me? I wonder what this is trying to teach me. And most of you will say: Well I never really liked the job anyway but it's what I had and I needed to pay my bills and pay my rent. And so what happens is that we begin to lock ourselves into things that we perceive are happening when really they're nothing more than some choices we made for some experiences. Sometimes when we are in the middle of something we perceive it to be a certain way when actually it's something from our past that is now clouding something in our future so we need to learn to see past the illusion of what we think is going on and really look at what might be going on.

Alfred:

Yeah, that's a really hard thing because so much of our life we have been spending time trying to figure things out, trying to figure out the way life is. However, most of that has been coming from ego, from our brain. And what we're actually trying to tell you is the path to figuring things out is not figuring them out,  is by letting go, is by surrendering, is by letting go of perceptions, opinions of the way that things are so that those perceptions, those opinions, those past ways that you thought you had figured things out don't interfere with the way that you look at things.

Hans:

Yes, nicely put. Perceptions Alfred and opinions, very good. Those two words are very important for people to hear in this particular lesson.

Alfred:

Okay.

Hans:

Perceptions and opinions...of the mind, you see.

Alfred:

So there have been many shows where we've been talking to you about letting go of perceptions and opinions and why that's important. But specifically, we're talking about clarity in this show. And it is through clarity, it is through peacefulness, it is through being centered, it is through letting go of humanness that in general you will find who you are. You will find your connection to God and Spirit. You will find true peace. But specifically in this subject it has to do with seeing things clearly not just seeing the universe clearly but seeing human life clearly. And there's a thing that I've been discussing with my students recently is that the more spiritual you become the better human you you become. You can actually see things clearer. Things don't affect you as much. You're must more peaceful, much more loving when you deal with others. So by letting go of perceptions, opinions, you see things as they are. Things don't bother you which as we've talked about many times - there really is nothing wrong. So you can see how all the themes we've been talking about weave through each other. But if you want clarity, if you want to be able to see a flower and see the miracle in the flower and be joyous and blissful by the simplest things in life... A lot of what I've found, and what I'm learning from my students, is by letting go as much as possible. Letting go of the way that you think things are and just taking them for the way that they are without adding anything, without presuming anything, then things become a lot clearer.

Hans:

Well absolutely and you know, I bring this up a lot because it's happened to so many people during these last 3 or 4 years where someone loses their job...and I have a friend of mine that when he lost his job he called me and he was very sad and very upset and then he said: Hmm, Hansy what do you suppose they're moving me up to? And that's the attitude that I'm looking for. What is Spirit moving you up to?  What's the next level? What's the next step? Don't go and try to duplicate what has been people. Say: Oh, this will give me an opportunity to look at what else I can do. You've heard me say throughout my many years of service say: Don't become what you do. And unfortunately for so many people in this country we become what we do, not who we are. And it's fascinating when you ask someone: And who are you? And they say: Oh, I'm a Doctor or I'm a Store Owner or I sell shoes on the Internet. No, that's not who you are. That's what you do. Again, seeing past the perceptions, the illusion of life to my way of thinking is one of the single most important things you can ever do for yourself. We have a mind set that says "this is who we are and this is what we do". And then we begin to react to the job, to the relationship, to whatever it is as though we had nothing to do with creating it. Learning that thoughts are living things and that what you are putting out there in life is actually on its return to you. Then it is easier to see past the illusion of life. Right Alfred?

Alfred:

Yeah, and that's the second part of why it's important to see past the illusion. Why is it important not to add to, to make sure that you don't try to understand what is going on around you. Now of course there is the exception to say: Okay, my job is to be a Botanist and I'm supposed to understand Trees. Sure, fine. Then that's your job scientifically to understand that specific area. But if it not your job, if it's not your life's purpose to understand anything - try not to, okay?  And that's pretty much the majority of us is don't try to understand with your limited mind the way things are, the way people are, the way nature is. And instead, number one, just realize the miracles in everything. Again I quote Einstein: “Everything is a miracle or everything is not." That's a choice. We tell you that everything is a miracle and that you don't need to understand it. That everything has a divine purpose and a divine order in things because of the way that God has created the universe. And second, when you don't try to understand, when you just let things be, you can be much more in tune with the flow of the universe. You're much more able to receive guidance. You're much more clearer, much more peaceful in order to follow the flow, in order to follow the direction that your dharma wishes to take you. That your Guides are directing you towards those experiences. You're much more able to experience things in the moment. Okay? Pretty basic lesson there about "being in the now”. If you're trying to figure things out according to what you understand, you're not in the moment. You're not experiencing it fully. So seeing past the illusion is taking things for just the way they are and connecting to the universe and seeing if there's some energetic and vibrational possibility in there for you. But if not, then just simply "be", simply allow it to “be”. And for most of us that's really difficult. I had a huge struggle as Hans knows with not understanding, to letting things be. Because so many of us were classically trained in that so I'm talking to you from my heart when I say: Yes, it's a spiritual practice to try not to understand. But there are so many spiritual benefits to not understanding.

Hans:

Exactly.

Alfred:

Again, spiritually is so opposite of humanness. In order to see past the illusion,  you need not see. You need to let go. You need not to understand in order to allow yourself...

Hans:

And that was difficult for you wasn't it Alfred?

Alfred:

...to let the illusion "dissolve" I think is another way of looking at it Hans. Is that not by adding, by not understanding, by not having a perception, by not having an opinion, the illusion dissolves and then you can see things truly the way that they are. How's that?

Hans:

Well not bad for a Padawan. As I'm looking out through the windows here all I can see is the middle of the forest. That's all I can see. Green branches, squirrels, green, green, green, green, green. Three months ago I looked out these windows and all I could see was brown and gray...brown and gray, brown and gray. And I separated them and I said: I like the one with the green. But then Spirit said to me: Ah, you're limiting yourself. You can't have the green Hans without having the brown and gray branches. The trees have to go to sleep. And so they said to me: Incorporate it all into what it is. Not the illusion that you wish it to be. So again seeing past your perception and seeing past the illusion of your mind chatter opens the doors for so many new adventures. You'll be absolutely astounded as how much is available for you. You know you've often heard me say I have this little sign that says: The longer I live the more I'm certain of how little I know and it's just fine.

Alfred:

That's a really good point Hans is we touched upon a topic of any individual's ability to understand what someone else is going through. So say for example, somebody yells at you, somebody's mean to you, somebody does something you perceive is bad or painful. What makes you think you have the right to judge or have an opinion of that person's behavior?

Hans:

Uh hmm.

Alfred:

What do you know about that person's life? What do you know that has happened to that life? What do you know about that person’s dharma? And the lessons and the experiences that that person has asked to go through.

Hans:

Yes. Exactly.

Alfred:

So believe it or not even if someone is perceived to be mean to you, what makes you think that it's directed at you and it's not just what that person is going through? So again we go back to the topic of "in order to see past the illusion", such as this person is being mean to me, to say: Wow, that person's probably going through some really difficult life challenges.

Hans:

Exactly and you send them a blessing.

Alfred:

And you send them a blessing and you wish them well and you pray for that person and you send them good vibrations. So see how by simply letting go of a perception which seems to be pretty obvious the person's being mean to me...by letting go of the perception and holding a negative thought you say: I have no right to judge that person. I have no right to form an opinion. Instead I'm just going to send them loving thoughts, blessings. So by simply letting go you're able to turn a negative vibration quite simply into a positive vibration and adding love and karma to the universe.

Hans:

We get locked up in our perception of "what is" and "what isn't" based on our own personal needs. As I was looking out the window I was reminded by Spirit "that all is in perfect harmony". There is no negative...that the leaves are part of the tree branches, the tree branches are part of the roots which nurture the leaves. It  is all one. My mind wanted to separate it. As you all know we have a problem with Alfred and cold. I tend to view it the following: It is, period. And I can't have the sunny days and the warm days without having the colder winters. I will never win this battle with Alfred because he has no intentions of learning it. However, when you realize that employment and unemployment are all the same - there is no separation - there is no difference. It's only an experience that's passing by you, passing through you. And if you take the opportunity to say: Wow, I wonder what's in this for me? And act out of a positive way then you don't go into the victim role. This is where you lose yourself children is in the victim role. When you start to perceive that something has been done to you or you're being punished. No, see past the illusion and realize you're being moved to a new location. Whatever that location may be. It could be a different kind of a job, it could be a wait so that you learn the value of trust. But what I've found is that if you get that you're not a victim and you see past the illusion of the situation, Spirit moves you through the lesson rather quickly.

Alfred:

And that's a good point about letting go. We touched on it a bit earlier is by letting go and I’m going to change the topic a little bit, letting the illusion “dissolve”  instead of seeing past the illusion...

Hans:

You've found a new word you like haven't you?

Alfred:

Yeah, I like it because seeing past it means that it is there. But the truth is it's really not there. It's only in our heads. And by letting go of humanness - that which you think is real is really not. And then once the illusion dissolves you can be more in touch with the flow. Not necessarily the flow of other people's but your flow. And what is that flow we're talking about here? Your individual life dharma. Being in coordination with your Guidance. Being able to receive guidance so that you can understand what is going on in your life. To be able to understand what is the next step in your life. This is a huge part of what we try to pass on to you. By letting go of the illusion, allowing perceptions and opinions to dissolve, letting go of those things, you open yourself up to possibilities you could never fathom. Such as: Oh, losing my job is a possibility. Instead of saying: Oh, I'm a victim. They fired me. They abused me. No.

Hans:

Absolutely. Don't go there.

Alfred:

By letting go of the possibility that you're not a victim that you're not, excuse me, the opinion that you're not a victim letting go of the perception that you were abused, letting go of the perception or opinion that you were wrongfully terminated...maybe you could see and feel that Spirit is actually guiding you to a new position...

Hans:

That's the key.

Alfred:

...which is better suited for your dharma. However, if you're stuck in negativity and negative thoughts and you're in humanness and in stress you're going to block what the Other Side is trying to coordinate on your behalf.

Hans:

Yes, absolutely.

Alfred:

Okay. And that's another reason why it is so important to let these perceptions and opinions of the way things are, trying to understand the way things are can be not just fruitless but anti-productive. Productive means that you're not in the flow, you're blocking the flow, you're disconnecting from the flow, you're disconnecting from your Guidance and instead just saying: Let me be peaceful. Let me let go of any perceptions, any opinions, any understanding so that I may be in tune with the universe to say: Okay, that was nice. I'm very grateful for that opportunity. What's next? What is there next for me and to work with your Guidance to go with the flow.

Hans:

I think that's very important Alfred when we can get ourself to the place that says: What is next? Where is God taking me? This is exciting. And folks there's one thing that happens when someone gets terminated. Two things occur. Number one - their self esteem is affected. Number two - will they be alright financially. If something like that happens to you if you say: I thank you for this that's going on. I thank you for taking me to a new level and thank you for taking care of me financially. I know you're there for me. That's all you have to do. And somehow children, the bills will get paid. No matter how bad things have gotten all of us have gotten through. There have been times in my life where I've lost things that were heart wrenching to me, heart wrenching. However, I pulled my boots up and I said: Okay, what's the next life? What am I to do here? Where am I to go? And every single time what I thought would be the worst thing that could happen to me turned around and was one of the best things that ever happened for me. So just know that just because something appears as wrong learn to see past the illusion. For instance, the stations that you listen to report the news that's manufactured...you see. They take little stories and make into big stories. Seeing past the illusion. Try not to watch too much news, okay? Alright Alfred I think that concludes the lesson for today.

Topic: Karmic Debt

May 23, 2014

Alfred:

Hello everyone, this is GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE. Speaking to you is the Padawan Learner Alfred and I'm with the Modern Day Mystic himself. We're broadcasting from Asheville, North Carolina. We're back from our extended stay south of the border and we're back in beautiful mountain country. And speaking of Asheville, North Carolina, we'll be giving you more information about this soon, we'll be attending a local Psychic Fair that's being put on by a good friend of ours and we're ever so grateful that she is. But you can join us on July 12 at the Masonic Temple in Asheville, North Carolina to join Hans, myself as well as about 20 other spiritual practitioners from the local area. So if you're around Asheville, stop by and see us. We'll be posting information to Facebook about where it is, or if you would like more information of course just shoot us an email through the website or you can find more information on our Facebook page. So without further ado, to present the spiritual opinion of "What is Karmic Debt", I present to you the Modern Day Mystic himself - Hans Christian King.

Hans:

Good afternoon everybody. Wonderful to be back in North Carolina. The weather's beautiful, my peonies are blooming, my roses are out, the trees are beautiful. A lot of water here in these mountains because of a pretty intense set of thunderstorms that went through earlier in the week but that just makes things grow and once again we're very happy to be back. "Karmic Debt" - oh gosh doesn't that sound terrible? I can't tell you the hundreds and hundreds of times that in working with people somebody would say to me: Well I must have done something wrong in another lifetime. All my life is about Karmic Debt. Nothing I ever try ever works. No relationship ever works. My jobs don't work. What is it that has happened? I want to first of all make something extremely clear about Karmic Debt. Karmic Debt will never under any circumstances destroy your original goals that you have set forward for yourself. You, your Guides, your Master, your Angels, you still have a plan. You still can make your life work. But you will face obstacles. Always some kind of an obstacle. When you think: Alright, I think the Karmic Debt I'm paying feels like this, you can say to Spirit: I think I'm learning what this is about. Please present me with more doors on this issue that I might discover more about where I need to be with this. But Karmic Debt sounds so terrible. It's like going to the DMV going to get your Driver's License and the years have gone by and you take the eye test and they say: You know your eyes are not as good as they used to be. And they say: Well, we're going to give you a Driver's License but it'll be provisional. You will have to wear glasses or you cannot drive at night. It's something like that. It doesn't stop you from getting where you want to go - where your heart's desire is. But there is a major obstacle. We have also in Karmic Debt, Karmic Debt with individuals. I'm going to stop right there and ask Alfred to come forward on that subject. I know he himself has had a karmic relationship with various family members and personal friends throughout the years. Alfred how does this Karmic Debt appear to you?

Alfred:

Karmic Debt, I have to completely agree, sounds more ominous than it really is.

Hans:

(Laughing) Yes it does.

Alfred:

It's all about interaction and relationships. We'll take an example I was talking about in the Karmic Credit section. Say there was someone in a past life who did something really, really good for you. Say they helped you out with a job. You really needed a job and this person went way out of their way to help you and it really just changed your entire life. It put you on a job path and a career and your life was much better because of it. And you go back to the Other Side and said: Wow man thanks, that was really cool. I really appreciate what you did for me in a prior life. I see that you're on a blazing career path in this next life, I'd like to be able to help you. But it's, I have agreed to give you some karma. It's not necessarily a debt, but I'm repaying you for how you helped me. But it a choice. It's always a choice. It always follows the law of free will.

Hans:

Alfred, just for once second when did you first realize that you might have some Karmic Debt with another individual?

Alfred:

When you just say: I really need to help this person. I don't know why, but I really should.

Hans:

Karmic Debt and families - this is a subject that we have approached before in our many radio shows. There are times in our life when family members may present us with great challenges and we wonder what did we ever do to deserve this kind of a challenge. What we don't know is it may be a little bit of karmic payback time. Perhaps in a previous time you were a little bit of a schmuck, not the kindest person, nicest person, and let's say you intentionally visited upon you.

Alfred:

That's a really good way to put it. To say that you really weren't so nice to a certain person or a certain group of people. And you go back up to the Other Side and you review your life and you say: Ewh, I wasn't very nice to those people...

Hans:

Exactly.

Alfred:

...I really should do something to reverse the karma in that situation because by being not so nice of a person you created negative karma.

Hans:

Yes, exactly.

Alfred:

And you go back to the Other Side and say: Aah, I want to go back and reverse that negative karma, put some positive karma. So the Karmic Debt in this case, as commonly referred to, is simply - you made an agreement with the universe to help add some positive light, some positive energy, some positive karma in the next life where you created negative karma in the previous life.

Hans:

Right.

Alfred:

So you're trying in the next life to balance what you did and that's commonly referred to as negative karma but again we're looking at the situation you volunteered to do that.

Hans:

Alfred it comes down to a balance doesn't it?

Alfred:

It is. So it's not that somebody or the universe holds your foot to the fire and says: You must do this. No, it's that you agreed as always to these lessons. You agreed to these experiences. You agreed to provide some good karma in a certain way.

Hans:

Very, very well put. Alfred also there are times when we are not aware of Karmic Debt. Where we become victims. Our little child inside of us hurts because somebody says something or hurts because something that we're trying to put together, something we really want to do simply doesn't pan out. And we keep trying and no matter what we do it doesn't pan out. That Karmic Debt that's causing that will not last if you learn not to be a victim of the appearance of it and simply say to Spirit: I understand why this has happened. I understand why I'm being kept from this. At some point I must have done something to deserve this. I apologize for this. I choose to not live in this old reality anymore and I make myself available to learn that lesson. I bless that person, I bless that situation.  And I rise above it. You start at that point basically to unravel the negative energy attached to the Karmic Debt. You see? But life is so constructed on the human scene, especially in the western world, that we believe we must have been a bad person. I want to talk about something called "money", okay? There's a nice interesting thing. Alfred's turned around in his chair. Money. Sometimes, sometimes during our life we go through financial crises and we wonder what we could have done that God would be so angry with us. What could have happened that kept us from being in a loving, safe environment and what kept us from having the abundance we thought we were entitled to have. What did we do wrong? If we stop for just a moment and remember: That everything in life has a corresponding opposite. We will realize that: Yes, there may be some Karmic Debt going on around finances but you will be brought through this situation and that no Karmic Debt will allow you to not move forward, none. Some will stop you momentarily...absolutely. Every once in a while when something goes awry, I find myself saying: Hmm...Okay, what's in this for me today? What did I do? I'm willing to look at it and I make fun of it as best I can and I prepare myself to rise above it and move on. But it does stop you. And sometimes some dreams, some goals, some longings in the heart, sometimes those are put on hold for just a little bit. But if we don't become a victim...send $10 here, $15 there you will pay them down and you will eventually pay them off. And then you will say: Hmm, won't do that again. You see what I'm saying folks? Whenever the appearance of Karmic Debt in your life occurs, stop for a moment and say to yourself: This has nothing to do with who I am. This must have something to do with how I behaved in a previous time. I choose to see the light in this and I thank you for the lesson. And that's very hard to do folks if you lose your house or you lose your job. Life moves on and nothing remains the same and if you use Karmic Debt as stepping stones you will walk yourself out of it and into your Karmic Credit. Because the other side of Karmic Debt, is last week's show, Karmic Credit. Alfred, anything on that bit of wisdom that Spirit gave us?

Alfred:

Yes, that's a really tough one for some people is to sit in the moment with the realization that whatever you're going through there's a distinct possibility you asked to go through it.

Hans:

Absolutely.

Alfred:

Simply to go through the experience. We'll just say for example...oh, we'll pick a really bad one: You were a slum lord...

Hans:

(Laughing) You brought this up a couple of weeks ago. Were you a slum lord Alfred?

Alfred:

Maybe I was. And you treated your tenants really... you asked for certain lessons but what we're trying to explain is you asked to visit that experience.

Hans:

Yes.

Alfred:

As with all of your life, you asked to visit those experiences. Whether those experiences were for lessons or for fun or for love or for relationships...

Hans:

In other words, it's not by accident it's by design.

Alfred:

So your job is not to believe the illusion that God has it out for you. It's to simply go with the flow and say: Wow, okay I feel what it's like to be in that situation. I understand what it's like to let go to look for a house. I trust and believe there is a purpose now God could you please find me a place to live.

Hans:

Yes.

Alfred:

So you're rolling with the punches, you're going with the flow and understanding there's a larger purpose for certain experiences. How does that one work Hans?

Hans:

Very, very, very good Alfred. Very good. Folks, let's talk about something that I hear a lot from my clients throughout the years - Why does God punish? Why does Spirit punish? Folks, what kind of a god are you praying to? God doesn't punish. Spirit doesn't punish. Everything that is in your life is what came out of your consciousness. Well, why doesn't God rescue me? God is rescuing you but under karmic law you must balance between your lives. You must balance from one life to the next life you must balance out. The dharma as we spoke before in this lifetime for this lifetime but you also enhance it for the next lifetime. You're on buddy.

Alfred:

So the whole gist of all of this is to help everyone understand that the term "Karmic Debt"... take it a little more loosely to understand that there was something that happened and whether it's visited in the same life or it's visited in a subsequent life it's meant to "balance". All in the universe is about balance, all about nature is about balance, all about karma is about balance. But again it is not a steadfast law that God has a stick and says: You were a bad person. You did a bad thing. Thus you “must” balance out the negative karma that you created. No, it's up to your soul to recognize that. And there is a possibility for example in this lifetime. Think about Scrooge, for example. In the first part of Scrooge's life he was quite stingy...

Hans:

Scroogy.

Alfred:

Scroogy. Okay? And he created a bunch of shall we say negative karma. But after he was visited by the ghost he said: Aah, maybe I can be nice in this lifetime.

Hans:

Yes, exactly.

Alfred:

Okay. So you don't have to wait to repay negative karma. You can actually wake up mid-life and say: Oh, I have resources. I have time. I have love. I can volunteer. I can do something to balance out that karma in this lifetime. Just like Scrooge, he woke up and what is he doing? Buying a turkey.

Hans:

And he was an elderly man and he still made an effort. That's the key. So don't worry about your age, just worry about your consciousness.

Alfred:

Yes. So it's not something again that needs to be revisited. The whole point is that it is a "choice" - such as everything in the law of free will. It is a choice for you to go back and look at the negative karma that was previously created. So that really doesn't describe a Debt, that just says: Look who I am. I've changed.

Hans:

Yes. And letting Spirit know that you are aware that you're not a victim. This is sort of payback time. Thank them for their support. Thank them for bringing clarity to you. You're going to find that it feels like a weight is lifted off of you. So in your darkest of moments when you think you are loaded with a Karmic Debt and you don't have any Karmic Credit and God doesn't love you and Spirit's not speaking to you... No matter what it looks like, say: Thank you for helping me to see past my mind chatter and past the illusion that my mind is creating about this issue. You notice that every time we sign off on the radio show Spirit says one wonderful thing to you. Remember that? "Remember that God does not love anyone more in this world than you.” Which means that even though you may have been born with some Karmic Debt you are equal of the eyes of the Other Side. Folks I learned 50 years ago that who someone is and their behavior are two different things. And the Spirit sees who we are not our behavior. Sometimes our behavior makes them a little crazy because they'll often say: I thought she got that one. I thought he understood it. Well, we'd better change the game plan to help them to learn it. You have so much love on a daily basis. It surrounds you. It welcomes you in.

Alfred:

As we teach in the Automatic Writing Class and the Channeling Class is Spirit guides you through how you feel. So if you feel for example you should volunteer at a soup line, if you feel you should just help someone, if you feel like you should just do something - then go with that feeling because that's a possibility that you asked for that experience. And you're saying: Well what's in it for me? Well that's human - that's mind chatter. As with all things Spirit guides us to that which we asked to experience. We may not understand why we asked to experience. Our job is to listen and go where our heart directs us. So Spirit may be guiding us to repay a Karmic Debt, add some karma in a specific area to visit a certain experience that we may not particularly like but that we asked them to guide us to so that we could feel what it's like being on the other end of the stick. Because maybe we treated somebody bad on that end of the stick and said: You know what I really want to be...one of the families and he has a really hard boss who treated him the way he was treated...the way he treated his employees. Now he has two choices: As that poor employee in the second life. Either he could just say: Yeah, this is where I'm supposed to be and thank God that I'm alive to experience that which I asked to experience or to get mad at God wondering why God is punishing him with such a horrible boss.

Hans:

Yes.

Alfred:

And the reality is Scrooge came down and said: You know what? I want to learn the lesson of what it's like to feel like the people that I treated and what it was like for them.

Hans:

Very, very good example.

Alfred:

Okay? So you're not being held back because you don't have money. You're not being held back because your boss is crazy. Maybe it's just as simple as you asked the universe for those experiences.

Hans:

That's correct. And we did. Alright Alfred I think that will conclude the lesson for today. I thank you for your participation.

We'd really appreciate it. Thanks! I think that's it for announcements for today Hans? 

Hans:

Yes, I think so.

Alfred:

Okay. So today's topic again is "Karmic Credit" and who better to explain the way Karmic Credit works than the man with the most Karmic Credit in the Universe - the Modern Day Mystic himself - Hans Christian King!

Hans:

Oh boy, I have that much Karmic Credit Alfred? Wow!

Alfred:

Yes, you got to take care of me.

Hans:

Well now therein lies some truth. Now Hi everybody, welcome on board. It's great to be with you today. How do we earn Karmic Credit? This has been presented to us by one of our listeners and I think it's a great topic. Karmic Credit comes about when over many lifetimes we have learned spiritual principles and we have applied spiritual principles rather than mind chatter to our then lives. And after awhile we build up more Karmic Credit than Karmic Debt, which we'll probably going to discuss next week. I'm just informing Alfred of this now.

Alfred:

Oh, thanks Hans.

Hans:

And so we build up a Karmic Credit which means: good deeds, decent thoughts, wishing people well, not setting out to hurt anybody, seeing if someone needs something we lend a hand, sending loving and kind thoughts to people... It doesn't mean you have to be hairy fairy but it does mean living a clean spiritual life. After awhile we build up Karmic Credit. You may have noticed in your life there are some people that no matter what they do or what they touch it turns to gold. Those people have an abundance of Karmic Credit. Okay? So when we arrive here on this plane our bag is sort of two-thirds full of Karmic Credit and we can use that Karmic Credit. Now we don't "know that" but people who have good Karmic Credit seem to be able to get through the most difficult of times. All of you, have you ever noticed that no matter how bad something gets you somehow manage to get through and come out the other side and you usually come out better than you thought? That means that you have some Karmic Credit. Yes, we bring Karmic... I repeat myself, but yes we bring Karmic Credit in with us when we arrive as we bring Karmic Debt. Someone once asked me: Do we every come in fairly balanced...sort of half and half? Oftentimes, oftentimes. But mostly it's one or the other. Most old souls that I've had the pleasure to have known throughout my many years of service have had what I call "Good Karmic Credit". It means that they...even when they are struggling...see folks, it doesn't mean you don't get hit with stuff. What it means is that you're able to handle the stuff you get hit with. Alfred would you like to pop in here for a moment?

Alfred:

Oh, absolutely. I'd like to take an example of something that happened to me and then tell everybody how that relates to where Karmic Credit comes from. I was flying around the world in banking and one of my offices was in Amsterdam. Which I don't think was very constructive but we had a really good time. Anyway, there was a guy that I was working with and for some reason I just knew I should take this guy under my wing and train him. And eventually I took him out of the Amsterdam branch and took him to Corporate Headquarters in Frankfurt. And eventually he became one of the youngest Vice Presidents in the history of Deutscha Bank in banking because I had trained him and brought him up myself and when I left and decided to go back to the States, he was molded to come into my position. For some reason I just knew I should do that for him and I had no idea why, it just "felt right". Now where does that come from? Where would that have been arranged on the Other Side so that the Other Side would have supported that energy? So say...we'll call him Frank. Frank and I are soul mates, we're on the Other Side and Frank comes to me with his life plan and says: Hey, I helped you out on a prior life. I'd like to have this experience. I see in your life that we're going to intersect eventually. Could I request you and everybody else to coordinate that you help me in this lifetime to balance out the Karmic Credit that I gave you and that you would return the Karmic Credit to me? And that's all all spiritual is is about "balance". So if he had done something good for me I would be inclined to do something good for him. So that's where it starts out is those agreements on the Other Side. God approves us, we get stamped on the forehead, poof we arrive, and we bump into each other as soul mates and the Other Side coordinates our requests by telling us: Yes, this is correct. So that is the essence of Karma. Okay? And we're talking about positive Karma, Good Karma, Karmic Credit...so in that situation because in a prior life Frank had done something good for me he had Karmic Credit which in turn he could cash in and ask a favor from me which I would say: Oh, of course. Absolutely. That just sounds really nice. How's that for a story Hans?

Hans:

Very good, very good. Proof itself. Remember we also build up a natural reservoir of Karmic Credit. If through nothing else but positive thinking followed by positive deeds. We have soul mate friends, which as Alfred's referring to the Frank Person, we have those different people who are programmed to come into our life to give us a hand, to give us a lift when there's nothing else available, they suddenly show up and they help change our life as we have done for them. However on your daily path in life, in an everyday world, you build up Karmic Credit and that Credit is revisited to the next lifetime automatically. Where does it come in? Let's say someone says: I would like the experience of living in Fiji for a year. Now there's a wonderful thought. I would like the experience of living in Fiji for a year but I have no idea how that will ever happen, But I'm going to take my request, you see, and give it to the Spirit. Now when you do that and you take the request and you give it to the Spirit, they know how much Karmic Credit or Karmic Debt you have and normally if you have Karmic Credit they are able to make that occurrence happen much sooner than you could on your own. Now I want to clarify something. Even if you had Karmic Debt they would still make the experience happen but it would take longer to arrive at that point. So when you build up the Karmic Credit and you don't even know you have it and you begin to dream and wish and hope, those become quite doable as far as Spirit is concerned. You see? So arriving here with Karmic Credit makes your life a little easier. Now I'd like to talk, just for a second here Alfred, about "ongoing Karmic Credit", okay? Which means that all the deeds you do everyday, all the thoughts you think everyday are building up a reserve of either Karmic Credit or Karmic Debt. So if you have a mind chatter that speaks to being peaceful, balanced, it speaks to helping others or sending happy thoughts to others, you can continue to multiply the volume of Karmic Credit that you have available to you in "this lifetime" as well. The extra, or the abundance of that when you pass back will be put in the karmic sack that you'll bring back in "next time". Any comments on that Alfred?

Alfred:

Yes and that's one of the main question is: How do you earn Karmic Credit? And it's quite simple. It's if you do good deeds, if you have good thoughts, if you have good intentions...it doesn't necessarily mean, as Hans has said a million times that you actually "do" or "follow through" or "what you intend to happen does happen"...if it does great, if it doesn't...but that was my intention was to help. For every time that you do that, that builds up Karmic Credit. Okay? Now like everything that Spirit reviews with us when we're on the Other Side it's how did you interact or have good intention with an individual's soul. And that individual's soul will come back to you as in my previous example and say: Ah, you did something good for me. I'm available to do something good for you. Again that's in the next lifetime but I'm trying to simplify the example to help you understand what is Karmic Credit and how does it come back “to” you. So say you were good to a hundred people. Well, I would say the majority of those people are going to visit with you and have a meeting with you on the Other Side and say: Hey, thank you so much for being so cool, having a good intention, praying for me, helping for me...whatever you did, I'd like to return the Karma back “to you”. Thus you'd come back in the next lifetime and say: Wow, Wow am I so blessed! Probably because you were such a good person in a prior lifetime. And that actually reminds me, Hinduism, when someone dies and passes back to the Other Side and they were “good” they actually hold a celebration because they know that that person if they were good has a bunch of Karma and they're going to come back and have a wonderful life next time. I remember that specifically. So that's the fundamentals of how to earn Karmic Credit and that if you earn Karmic Credit in one lifetime by being good then you bring it in with you in the next lifetime and it turns into people returning the Karma. See again - life is all about spirituality. Spiritual Life, Spiritual Energy is all about “balance:, okay? How does that sound Hans?

Hans:

Excellent Alfred excellent. Funny, funny topic Karmic Credit. It makes people kind of giggle because they don't really understand exactly what it means. But remember: We are the sum total of all of our thoughts”. What we put out in our thinking pattern is already returning to us in like kind. These things that we have tried to teach you for lo these many years, when you put them together form a tapestry that when held to the light is really quite beautiful. We all have moments...we all have moments when we have an off day. The other day I had to go the the Dentist or as they call them here Dentista. And he's a wonderful dentist and people come from all over the world come to see him and he's kindness itself, he's a really great dentist. But I had had some very difficult situations where I had to have some teeth removed and because my roots had grow into my jaw bone it's not easy to get them out. I have to have some implants put in. So I built up all of this pre-set, not so much fear but resentment that I had to go...uncertainty about the outcome. And I heard my mind chatter just running a mile a minute. And I have to tell all of you Alfred stepped in and was a great help to me...Bella was a great help to me...my friend Melinda was a great help to me. But I'm looking at an awful lot of dental work to be done. My mother had to do it, my grandmother had to do it, we all have the same sort of situation. So, what happened? Well yesterday we went to the Dentist but we were 2 hours early. So we had to come back and I had to go through all of the fussing again. And I caught myself saying: Time to practice principle, time to practice principle. So I want you to all know that I made it through the Dentist, I got the teeth extracted and then I will have implants put in there. And it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be because the person who removed the other tooth was a regular Dentist and this was an Oral Surgeon. So it was much, much different. So the worst of my fears did not come true. And I heard Guidance say to me: It is because you have so much Karmic Credit, don't worry you'll be fine. When you all begin to understand that...that at your darkest moments when things just seem like eek how am I going to get through this...the Spirit is there to pull out of its bag your Karmic Credit to help you through, okay? And even if, and we'll talk about this next week, even if there's a little more Karmic Debt than Karmic Credit remember this is an incredible opportunity right now to balance the scale by switching out of negative thinking into positive thinking. Big difference there. So you literally can move this in your lifetime from the negative to the positive certainly working on that agenda, alright? So Karmic Credit in this lifetime Alfred is usable in this lifetime. You got that?

Alfred:

Yes and that's a little bit of a twist on Karmic Credit. It doesn't necessarily need to be used with another soul who's incarnated. You could have been a generally good person and you could ask the Other Side - those souls who are not incarnated - ask your Guidance to use some of your Karmic Credit to help you through issues in this side. Okay? Karmic Credit is basically you've been a good person, you've done a bunch of good deeds and whether the souls are incarnated or not incarnated they say: Ah, okay well let's return some of the goodness that you've done back to you. And yes, you can use that within the same lifetime.

Hans:

Very good Alfred, very good. Here's an interesting question that somebody wrote in Alfred - Can we run out of Karmic Credit? Folks, that would be very, very, very  difficult to do because even if you're in a difficult space, even if you're using too much anger or resentment, even if you're adding more to your Karmic Debt everyday than your Karmic Credit you are still at some point in the day, some point in the week, adding Karmic Credit to the matter. So can you run out of Karmic Credit? You'd have to be a very special person to accomplish that fact. So I'm going to say no, the answer is no to that. Now remember the more good that you do...now it doesn't mean you have to run out and you know be a do gooder. I don't mean that because thoughts are living things children. So the more positive... For instance, if you're on a bus and you're going down the street a you see a gentleman sitting on a piece of cardboard, really down on his luck, a moment of positive thinking saying: Please God bring to that man all he needs to learn whatever lesson there is and please help him to eat today. That one thought, that fast moves you ahead in Karmic Credit. And the more positive things that you say... I saw a very, very elderly woman the other day being helped by her grandson across the street and I would estimate she was in her early 80's and very, very frail. I immediately went to them both in consciousness and said: Please bring to her all that she needs to operate at this time in her life to her highest good to, his highest good. Bless them. Surround them in light. Now I didn't do that because I had to think to do it. It's a naturalness that comes and you can all get into that place that you're operating in the light, in Karmic Credit by just viewing things in a little bit different way. That's the key, okay? 

Alfred:

One of our little teachings that I just want to help the people understand Karma and especially Karmic Credit is that when you do good things please do not have an expectation of what is coming back. Please do not have the thought to say: I am doing this to build Karmic Credit. No. One of the basic teachings we've always said over and over again is when you do something do not have an expectation of anything coming back in return. Just do good things for the sake of doing good things. As we've mentioned a couple of weeks ago when we were talking about Karma and Dharma - Karma is simply the Universe's way to record deeds and thoughts and energy. So if you are being good you can basically understand: Yes, the Universe is recording that. But you are being good because of the quality of your soul...

Hans:

That is correct Alfred.

Alfred:

...that is why you do good things.

Hans:

Because you've shifted into that state of mind.

Alfred:

Because your character, the character of your soul is: I am a good person. I am of service. And that's it. That's who I am, period. I am a good person doing good things because it makes me feel good. Okay, see how simple and clean that is? And then you let go of how the Universe records it. You let go of the fact that you're gaining Karmic Credit or anything like that... We're just telling you what happens behind the scenes.

Hans:

Well Alfred let me point out a quick one here. They're building a new palapa here, a thatched palapa for the pool. And it was a hot day yesterday and there was rain in the air and it was really, really humid and I said to Alfred as I went by the window: Oh, those poor guys. He didn't hesitate an inch. He immediately went to the refrigerator. We keep bottles of Coca-Cola in the refrigerator, which I believe to be the national drink of Mexico, and he picked up 5 of them and he immediately went outside and gave each boy a Coke. Now he didn't think about that. That was an automatic response that was needed. That's what we're talking about. Don't be proud of yourself that you're doing a good deed because that means you're having to make them up. Know in your heart you already do good deeds because they flow through you as an action of God. Okay? Alrighty Mr. Alfred I think that concludes the lesson for today. And do we have any questions for today Alfred?

Alfred:

We absolutely do have questions. But one thing I forgot to announce is we are  accepting show topics. I finally put a link on the Radio Show page and I believe we also post links to Facebook. If you have a show topic that you'd like us to talk about, please send us a message on Facebook with your show topic and we will announce that we're reading your show topic and directing it at you. Such as we did last week for Kelly about Self Esteem. This week topic came from Teri in Florida. So if you have a topic you'd like us to talk about send us a message through HansKing.com, send us a message through Facebook and we'll let you know if we're going to use it. So this is the time of the show that we finish with our Spiritual Teaching and move on to answering Member Questions. You do not need to be a member but if you do want to be a member or find out about being a Spiritual Circle Member you can go to HansKing.com and under Spiritual Community you can look at the member benefits that you would get by being a member and how much it is for monthly dues for being a member. We're every so grateful for our members - believe me we are - for helping support the show and we're grateful for them to help us help others who listen to the show around the world. You can just look at the bottom of the Radio Show page and see how many people around the world have sent in quotes how the show has helped them. And we thank our members for supporting us, for supporting those people. So by your monthly dues you're earning Good Karma. Right Hans?

Hans:

Absolutely Alfred.

Alfred:

Aha! Become a member and earn Good Karma!

Hans:

I think that's called emotional blackmail Alfred.

Alfred:

Laughing... And you get a lot of good benefits for yourself. You get to send in a question that we read on Air and answer, not just for you but for anyone else who listens.

Topic: The Lesson of Self Esteem

May 10, 2014

Alfred:

Hello everyone and welcome to GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE. Again this is Alfred, the Padawan Learner to the Modern Day Mystic himself, Hans Christian King whose right with me in the studio. Today's topic comes from one of our Spiritual Circle Members. And as we've been posting to Facebook we're taking your topics that you can send in and if we happen to use your topic then you can put something about how this lesson affects you personally. So this topic is coming from Kelly in Toronto, Canada one of our longtime members and we hope to be able to help him on "The Lesson of Self Esteem". Now Kelly writes in that Hans has spoken often about the lesson of self esteem and sometimes Kelly seems to get it and sometimes Kelly seems to feels like it's eluding him. So to further expand upon the lesson of self esteem I present to you the Modern Day Mystic himself, Hans Christian King.

Hans:

And hello everyone. How wonderful to be back with you. It's a beautiful, beautiful day today. This particular lesson of self esteem is presented to me almost every day that I work. There are so many older souls in this world and as you've often heard me say: The primary lesson of older souls is self esteem or the value of their own soul. This sounds so simple but it is very, very complex. Self esteem is about knowing who you are, why you are, and where you are, and making all of the above perfect. In other words making it okay. Oftentimes we work on the self esteem issue and we say: Ah...like Kelly says: I got it. Okay, I got it. And we live for a moment in bliss and say: Ah, thank goodness I've learned this lesson. But deep inside there's a little green meanie that continues to elude us and hides from us and it moves around and then it jumps out at us and grabs us once again and says: Ha ha, I gotcha! What do we do when then happens? What is the true definition of self esteem? To me self esteem means knowing again who you are, having a connection with Spirit that says I am the Spirit in human form therefore I am perfect at all times. The series that I did "You Are Enough" with the Spirit pointed out that there was nothing you could do that would ever make you better than who you already are. Alfred I'd like to bring you in here for a second on this as I know this is a lesson that you are confronted with or have been confronted with in the past and many of your clients are working with their self esteem. How do you approach your own self esteem? How did it begin to change for you?

Alfred:

Well as we love to do Hans so many times is we take everyday issues that our students and listeners are dealing with such as self esteem and help them understand it from a spiritual perspective. Shall we say the ordinary every day way of looking at self esteem is: How do you think about yourself, how do you feel about yourself? And what we try to do is help people understand self esteem from a spiritual perspective and that's what Hans was talking about. I'm sure there are Psychiatrists who try to deal with people's self esteem and a lot of other ways. We deal with it from a spiritual perspective. And the way I like to present self esteem is quite simple: You are perfect. You are love. You are everything you could possibly need already. What clouds your vision, what clouds your perception, your opinion of yourself is your humanness. It could be trauma, it could be other people's opinions. All of these things week after week after week, product after product that we help you understand have nothing to do with the perfect soul that you are. How's that Hans?

Hans:

Well that's very, very good. You know Alfred for so many people, me included, you included, in your childhood you were made to understand you just weren't quite good enough. That if you just did this you'd be better or why aren't you like so and so? So and so has the perfect son or the perfect daughter, you should strive to be like that, or be like them. You see people who get straight A's and you want to emulate them because you know they're better than you are. You see we're taught that performance can make you better. The truth of the matter is Spirit never looks at the performance. Totally irrelevant to the Spirit. They only look at the person in the moment - are they peaceful, do they love themselves, what is their intention, are they happy? Coming to grips with your own reality that says: I am enough. I don't need to be anything else. I don't need to do anything else. I am already perfect for my God. Sitting in that place Alfred begins to open doors for you that the mind chatter has blocked for years. The mind chatter reminding you once again that you're not quite good enough. Now Alfred I know that you went through some of this, early days in your life. What do you think was the defining moment where you began to see - maybe I am enough?

Alfred:

There's so many things that cloud our vision of the truth that we are a soul having a human experience and that soul is connected to the perfect universe, the universal energy, God and that's all you need. But it is our humanness that blocks our perception of it and changes our perception of us because we start believing commercials, family, friends...we start believing what happened in our past, we start believing trauma instead of just the simple truth of: Oh, I'm just borrowing this body for this go around to happen to have some certain experiences and the body's going to go away and I'm going to go back to being a perfect soul and I'm going to get another body. It is only after you go through all of the spiritual lessons that we're talking about - about letting go of ego, being in the now, letting go of the past, everybody knows all of the inner work that we talk about that you come down to the simple realization that you're a soul using the body to have certain experiences.

Hans:

Yes.

Alfred:

And it becomes that simple and you say: Oh, wasn't this a nice ride. There is nothing to critique. There is nothing to worry about. As Hans says it's not what other people say that matters, it's what you think about what other people say that matters. Those types of lessons have absolutely nothing to do with you and once you get through all of the lessons that we talk about all that's left is just you,  the soul. That's how I got through it Hans.

Hans:

Wonderful. I'd like to address this to Kelly who's a dear friend. Kelly when was the last time that the mind chatter told you how wonderful you are and that you already were perfect and that God loved you just the way you are and you needed not to worry about what other people thought of you, what other people said of you. When was the last time that you could sit and be peaceful and just know that your God already loves you. In part of the "You Are Enough" Series, the Spirit says: What if you woke up tomorrow and 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, that you could not be better than who you already are and who you are was equal to anyone else in the universe. Now there's...I remember doing The Alan Cohen Show and Allen said: By God, can you imagine how the world would be if everybody understood that they already were enough and stopped trying to be better than who they already are? And you can say: Well yes, but so and so was born with 10 million dollars, and so and so has a better education, and so and so is doing great things. That has nothing to do with you. The lesson for old souls is self esteem again or the value of their own soul. And once you begin to learn: Oh, I don't have to struggle. I choose to do this, I choose to do that, I choose to try this, and I choose to try that. It's because you want to do it not because you need to do it. You're not here to prove anything to anyone for any reason. You are here to let go of all the things that have held you back from being the perfect you. You see? So what is the definition of self esteem? It's how you hold yourself. Do you hold yourself in love? Do you hold yourself in light? Do you allow yourself to just be and revel in that? That just who you are right now God loves so. I had a dear client the other day who said: I'm really having a struggle Hans. My family just doesn't get who I am and they're making my life really quite miserable. And I said to her: Dear lady, no they are not. You are making your life quite miserable. She was rather offended and she said: I don't know what you're talking about and I said: It doesn't matter what they say, it matters what you think of what they say. That's the key. If you turn to that situation and say: You know what, this is not my problem, this is their problem, my God loves me, I am perfect, and I think I'll just stay the wonderful person that I already am. How do we know when we think we have the lesson? Alfred how did you know when you sort of saw the lesson and thought maybe you had gotten it?

Alfred:

Well I think this lesson is like all things of spirituality, you get a glimpse. And then that glimpse gets longer. Maybe it's 30 seconds you have perfect self esteem and maybe you have a minute of perfect self esteem and maybe you have 5 minutes and it happens periodically throughout the day and then eventually it starts an hour, a couple of hours or maybe you have perfect self esteem most of the day, some of the days. But as far as I'm concerned I don't think we can ever be a perfect spirit while we have a human body. It's just how much intention and how much inner work do you have to be as Spirit as much as you can while you're in human form. So I don't know if you can ever get the lesson I think if you finally do then nothing bothers you. You're perfectly in peace all day every day.

Hans:

It's kind of like you harmonize with the universe.

Alfred:

And that's when I think you get the lesson is when you have those glimpses. When you have a glimpse that: Oh, I am peaceful. There is nothing I need to do. There is nothing I need to learn. There is nothing I need to read. There is no one I need to be. I don't compare myself to others. Nothing around me bothers me.  That's when you get a glimpse of what it's like to be a perfect soul and have spiritual self esteem.

Hans:

Well you know what’s interesting Alfred is when you do get the lesson, when you finally hear it, when you finally see. it you're perspective changes and then your whole life begins to change and you begin to say: Wow, this is interesting. So I already am okay. I already am enough. I don't need to be anything else other than what I am at this moment. And once that finally settles in the stress and the pain and the mind chatter and all the stuff that goes with it, trying to better yourself, begins to evaporate and then out of nowhere, absolutely nowhere,  doors begin to open that lead you forward onto a new path and that path doesn't have a 'you have to prove anything' aspect of it. It allows you to just be you.

Alfred:

And I think that's the point Hans is the spiritual approach, especially the self esteem is the exact opposite of the way humans approach self improvement. You will acquire wonderful, excellent, peaceful, blissful self esteem when you stop trying to make yourself better. And instead let go of those things, let go of the notion that you can better, let go of the notion that you can be smarter, let go of the notion that other people have a good opinion or should have an opinion of you or you listen to other people's opinion. Let go of your humanness then you find the self esteem that you're looking for because nothing's haunting you anymore.

Hans:

Exactly.

Alfred:

Okay? So that's really important is the more you try to approach self esteem from a human standpoint the more you realize it becomes more difficult. I remember somebody said one time "The more you learn, the more you realize how much there is to learn and how much it's impossible to learn everything that there is to learn". So the more you travel down that path of trying to make yourself better, prettier, smarter in whatever way through a human aspect the more you realize how much more there is to make yourself better. So what we're saying is do the complete opposite. It's by letting go of those human things. It's by letting go of trying to improve. It is by the simple notion that you have everything you need already...

Hans:

Already...that's correct.

Alfred:

...and it is by letting go that you have access to that perfect peacefulness, that perfect being, that perfect soul.

Hans:

And you know Alfred...I'm addressing Kelly on this, if you look at how much time Kelly you spend trying to understand, how much time you spend trying to create outside of just who you are you'll find that the mind chatter spends an enormous amount of time trying to make you somebody other than who you already are because it's busy saying to you: Yes, but if you just have this many clients, yes, if you just have just do this, if you just get that, you'll be better. But the wonder of life Kelly, for an old soul, is simply learning how to be in the peace provided by your own mind. So when he wrote in and said Alfred: When we get this lesson does any other lesson then matter for an old soul? It comes back to the on-going battle of the lesson of mind chatter trying to defuse your state of peace. And so Kelly you can go along for awhile and say, Oh gee everything's fine now. I think I've got it. But if the mind chatter re-installs itself even after let's say 2, 3 4, weeks, a month, 2 months and it's lurking in the corner and whatever little thing trips it and the old mind chatter starts to come in its job what it wants to do is disengage you from your peace. It wants to tell you you're not quite enough. This could happen, that could happen, something else could happen... So right now the single most important thing for people with self esteem issues is my old nemesis and all of our old nemesis - the mind chatter. I know that in my teaching sometime I sound a bit redundant. But all things harken back to how you view yourself. Not how your mother does, not how your father or your siblings, not your boss, not the other employees but how you view yourself and so when you want to get yourself to a certain point that says: You know what, I don't even need to review this self esteem issue because I've got it. I know I've got it. That's when the mind chatter begins to cease. When you say to Spirit: I believe I have gotten this message. They will begin to pull the lesson. Have you noticed that Alfred? 

Alfred:

They sort of go hand in hand with each other. The more you work on the inner work, the more you work on letting go of mind chatter, the more you let go of all the things we've been talking about then your self esteem improves, then your inner peace improves. But as your inner peace improves and your self esteem improves then it gives you much more incentive to let go of the remaining mind chatter because as you become more peaceful, as you become happier, as you become more settled within yourself the soul that you are then you realize: Oh, it is by letting go of the mind chatter that I can keep this way of being. I can be like this more of the time. So the more you get those glimpses of self esteem, perfect being, perfect peace, then the more power, the more determination...as we were talking about last week "Spiritual Courage" to go after the remaining parts of the mind chatter and let them go and then you have greater self esteem, greater inner peace. So they work hand in hand with each other I think Hans.

Hans:

Oh, I totally agree. Kelly, it's a great lesson for everyone. Especially those old souls who listen to this show and our members we thank each and every one of you for being a member we so appreciate your contribution to making this show possible and we really love all of our listeners who we feel are helped by the questions from others. So Alfred I believe this concludes the lesson for the day.
