Topic: Being Spiritual in a Human Form

June 14, 2014

Alfred:

Hello everyone and welcome to GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE. This is Alfred the Padawan to the Modern Day Mystic himself who is right next to me. First a few announcements as usual. You know that we're back in Asheville and July 12th we're going to be part of a Spiritual Conference that's happening at the Masonic Temple. We just got the latest information in and we'll be posting that to Facebook as well as our Announcements under "The Spiritual Community" on HansKing.com. Second, on Facebook we just finished our first contest of "Share Hans and Get Your Friends To Like" and we'll be announcing the winner for that coming up on Facebook in the next couple of days once we tally all of the people who have shared and gotten their friends to "Like" us. Third is we've got a lot of appearances for Hans that are coming up during the next couple of weeks so please check our Newsletter. Yes, we know there's a couple of broken links but we're doing our best to work on that. We do the the best we can do that's it. Our intention is to be of service so we love that you're sticking with us and hopefully we're being of service. So that’s it for the announcements.

Hans:

Now Alfred we forgot on little thing that I'd like to bring up. And that is that you wanted...and I know you're going to get embarrassed, but you asked me to remind you to thank all the wonderful people who sent you Birthday Wishes. (Hans Laughing)

Alfred:

Yes, Thank You everyone who sent me birthday wishes. That was very kind of you all.

Hans:

There were a bunch of them so we thank you for that.

Alfred:

I tend not to think about myself when we're focusing on the Radio Show.

Hans:

I know...I know.

Alfred:

It's one of those rare times.

Hans:

But you'll say to me later: Oh why didn't you tell me? I forgot. So...

Alfred:

Today's topic - "Being Spiritual in a Human World" was presented to us by one of our Spiritual Circle Members - Susanna in England. And if you have a topic you'd like to share with us that we'd like to talk about on Air, you can message us on Facebook or you can send it to us via HansKing.com. So again today's topic sent in to us from one of our Spiritual Circle Members - "Being Spiritual in a Human World" and to further explain I present to you the Modern Day Mystic himself Hans Christian King.

Hans:

Good afternoon everybody. Wonderful to be back with you. This is a wonderful topic. Many years ago I was reminded of something that I had heard when I was a very young boy and it went like this: Somewhere in the Bible, The Christ is reported to have said: "Learn to be in the Earth but not of it". Wow, that sounds so simple doesn't it? Learn to be in the world...I'll just be spiritual but I won't be a... Well, you know as we go down the path, we find ourselves - since we're angels in human form - we wind up wondering how we got caught up in the appearance of our existence. In other words - reacting. Constantly reacting to things that occur around us. Something someone says or something at work or a disgruntled client or a colleague says something or your mom calls or your dad tells you he's disappointed in you - these types of things. So years ago I attached a little statement to those things that come up in life and the statement was: Not my problem. So being spiritual in a human world, in a human existence, means not reacting to the appearance of difficulty. Knowing that you are perfectly safe, knowing that what needs to happen for you will happen for you. What you need to learn will be presented for you to learn. You can look at that two ways. Number one, you can say: Oh, here's another lesson I think I'll learn that or you can say: Why me? Why do I have to go through this pain? You see what I'm saying? So if you separate yourself from the 'humanness of you'...remember what we've told you - that the body is just a cloak that we wear. That our soul - the essence of our being - remains sacred to Spirit. So when we're trying to be spiritual in a human world it means - who's our old nemesis - mind chatter! It means we make a deliberate attempt not to listen to the mind chatter. Alfred...and listen when I tell you this is not pre-rehearsed - I just sort of give Alfred these things and he looks like a deer in the headlights. Alfred when you were coming out of a very difficult first part of your life when did you notice that there was a separation between your spiritual being and the human world you were involved in?

Alfred:

It's what a lot of us do is we get dragged between the two worlds. In one moment we're happy and blissful and connected and in the other moment we feel that we're getting dragged either through the media, peer pressure, emphasis on money...it's really easy to lose yourself. It's 'what should I be following'? You know, following what's on the media, following what your friends do, following what your parents are telling you seems to be so much easier in the short run than following spiritual principles.

Hans:

Yes, that's very true.

Alfred:

And that's why we're really trying to focus this session on what practices should you focus on to be spiritual in a human world. What things are more important? There are, as you know, hundreds of different spiritual practices. But when you're getting torn back and forth and you don't know which direction to go in then here's some clues.

Hans:

Well you know Alfred, with all the media, peer pressure and the emphasis on money it's really easy to get lost. How do you deal with that?

Alfred:

Well the question is - what do you do? And should you become a chameleon?  Should you blend in? And that's one of the main things that we're trying to emphasis and we're actually reflecting back on what we were talking about in the previous topic is: Your job, in the enlightened path, is to find your own unique individual path. If you're becoming a chameleon and trying to blend in then you're bowing down to peer pressure, you're bowing down to whatever it is around you instead of following your uniqueness. Okay? And so when you're looking at it and say: Okay, you know, I want friends, I want money, I want my job, I want people to like me...

Hans:

Stop...stop for just a second. You just hit on something really, really important - "I want people to like me". Expound upon that for us will you?

Alfred:

It's a human desire to have people like you...

Hans:

Yes.

Alfred:

... It's a human desire to fit it. It's a human desire to have friends. And what we're telling you is there's two ways to go about it. You can go about it by say being a chameleon and trying to be all Mr. or Ms. popular or you can go the spiritual path which is: You know what, it's my job as a spiritual being in a human body to find my unique path and when I follow that path then people of like vibration, of like mind-set, of like being will be attracted to me. "That which you are you attract". So that's the hard choice. It really is.

Hans:

Yes, it certainly is.

Alfred:

Is to first follow on your spiritual path then wait for those like vibration beings to be attracted to you "or" to just give in and follow what seems to be the easier of the two paths.

Hans:

Alfred, sometimes individuals who are very spiritual have a difficult time in attracting friendships because they tend to see past the illusion and then there's a sense of loneliness that comes. How do you think people who you think are very sensitive and who are very spiritual how can they feel that they're loved as much as people who have lots of friends do you suppose?

Alfred:

Well that goes back to the lesson of self esteem. You are loved, you are enough, you don't need these external things that everybody tells you you need. You don't need to be popular, you don't need to have a bunch of friends. What you need to do is "find who you are". That is a spiritual path. And then once you find out who you are, once you become centered, then you can go out into the world and find true friends according to who you really are. So you can find friends according to your image, according to your ego, according to peer pressure - or you can find yourself and then find your true friends.

Hans:

Excellent...excellent. Because the reason I brought that up Alfred is I have lots of clients who will say to me: I don't feel comfortable Hans in groups of people. I don't feel comfortable with having too many people around me. But then they equate that to: Maybe God doesn't love me or maybe there's something the matter with me and that type of thing... But I like the way you put things. I think it's important for people to remember that they're never alone. That they always have their Guides around them. They always have helpers, they always have friends. So being a spiritual person in a human world...sometimes you feel like you're disconnected from what they call 'reality'. Sometimes very spiritual people don't wind up with a lot or an abundance of friendships. And the question I had for you is that when you were making that transition to having a lot of human friends to having spiritual friends did you feel lonely in that transition between the two? Because I remember it took a little while before you got more friends.

Alfred:

Yes, it's a really difficult transition because what happens is that you end up leaving so many of what you thought were friends who really were acquaintances in a human sense and then working with the Universe, working with your Guidance, working with your Soul Mates, working with your Angels, working with the Universal Energy and that becomes your path. That becomes your source.  That becomes your comfort. It is a completely different mind set about what is important. And it reminds me something that I tell a lot of my clients is: The friends that you've always looked for, the ever supportive, always loving compassionate family that you've always looked for, the support you've always looked for, is always there but you have to give up the human attachment in order to get the truly supportive, truly compassionate, truly loving ability to connect with Spirit, with the Universe is you can't have both. It's really difficult to hold onto your human friends, to hold onto your humanness...

Hans:

And there's nothing the matter with those friends, Alfred.

Alfred:

Well it depends if they are of like vibration or not.

Hans:

They simply don't fit.

Alfred:

Yes. So in some sense there is a little bit of a problem because they may be dragging you down. They may be trying to trying to deal with you on a peer pressure basis and a lot of times you're giving up friends left and right and what's left? Dealing with invisible people you can't see that you're having faith, trust and belief that they really do exist.

Hans:

Right. Well put.

Alfred:

That is a very difficult transition.

Hans:

Well put. What practices should you focus on to be spiritual in the human world? This was part of the original question sent in by Susanna in England. What practice? Faith and belief that you already are enough. That Spirit, in it's infinite wisdom, is in the process of drawing to you all the lessons that you have chosen to learn. But they're also drawing to you all the possibilities of learning those lessons. They don't just say: Here's a piece of paper with a whole bunch of stuff on it, deal with it. No, they don't do that. They present you with the lesson, a repetitive thing that keeps coming up in your life over and over and over. But they also present you with the spiritual answer that if you be still and say to Spirit: I am now available to understand the purpose in this lesson. You will hear, very shortly, a very quiet sound coming from your spiritual being through your chest. Then you say: Aah, I was wondering about that. Maybe that's what the lesson is. What's the greatest lesson for old souls - always children - self esteem. So many, many things will be presented to you under the guise of self esteem and how you handle those directly relates to your spiritual character. So practicing spirituality in the humanness of your life opens the door for the lessons, opens the door to clear the path that you see better, opens the door to let you come away from victimizations of the lesson. It opens a whole new set of being. So practice - love, acceptance, compassion. And those things right there - practice them on yourself first. Okay? Alfred.

Alfred:

And that's a really good thing to focus on. If you're going to be focusing on something it's self esteem: I am enough. I am perfect. So that it gives you the strength, the inner strength to make the right decision, to go the path that you know that's right, to go against peer pressure, to go against the grain of what you see everybody else going towards. To go against what maybe some life long friends are telling you, to go against what your family is telling you and to go "with" the direction of what you feel inside to be correct. That really requires some self esteem. That requires some self confidence. That what you're feeling inside is really the right path “for” you.

Hans:

That is tough Alfred. That is tough. Another question Alfred, should you practice energetic boundaries? For many people Alfred energetic boundaries sounds very complicated. It really isn't. I'm sure you know that right?

Alfred:

Yes and this is something that we talk about in the Intuitive Development Class is the more spiritual you become, the more you become sensitive to the vibrations of others. And as we've been talking about there's a lot of things that are not going to be of like vibration as you go down your spiritual path. And in order to deal with those things sometimes you have to deal with people or situations that you really don't think are of like vibration. You can feel the negativity, you can feel the negative energy. Then we say: Protect yourself energetically. You're not blocking the person, you're not having a judgment of the person. You're just saying: I'm putting up an energetic boundary around me so that negative vibration, that negative energy just doesn't affect me as I become more spiritual. It's helping you stay centered. It's really helping you adjust to your new way of being and it's a wonderful practice to help in that adjustment as you go from being human to being much more spiritual in a human world.

Hans:

Well, absolutely. And one of the things that I taught Alfred early days was learning to put that invisible bubble around you. That invisible white light. So that...one of the things I always say is tell Spirit: To please bring light into that that might bring darkness around you today. Darkness could be somebody else's 'thinking' that is counter productive to you, it could be the news, it could be any sense of small - like depression, your own mind chatter. "Please bring light into that that would bring darkness around me today". And just picture that little thin energetic wall being put up around you. It keeps you in the mix but it becomes once again "learning to be in the world but not of it". Alfred this is a good one. How can you have compassion for others but still stay on track with oneself? I believe those are two entirely different issues. You can always practice compassion for others by having no judgment of them. By whatever you see they're doing, whatever they're saying, whatever they're saying to you or to others, whatever it is - so long as you send them compassion. I don't judge you, bless you. I say "to bless you" I don't know how many times a day. But you can still stay on the track with one's self. Alfred?

Alfred:

Staying on track with oneself is absolutely the most important thing. Staying true to your unique path, your Guidance, being in touch with the Universe, being centered, being peaceful, having non-judgment, realizing nothing's wrong, keeping your vibration high - that is absolutely the first and foremost what you should be focusing on. And then while you're in that peaceful place, yes, you can have compassion for others - for what they're going through. But first of all realizing there is nothing wrong with what they're going through. There are a great many people in the world going through a great many things that are on unique paths that have asked to experience very unique things. Your job is not to have a judgment. If there's no judgment it really shouldn't sway you. That's one of the topics that we've gone over many, many times is having no judgment, having no opinion of what's going on. However, when you see suffering, when you see pain, when you see agony, absolutely you can have compassion for people to try to understand what's going on to determine if you should be involved in trying to alleviate the pain and suffering that is going on. And if not, you're not going to get involved, then there's no reason you shouldn't bless the person. So compassion really shouldn't take you off of your center. Always you want to be in your center before going out to serve, to make sure you are connected, you are who you truly are, your Guidance is with you. So make sure when you see pain and suffering in the world that you first go to your center and make sure that there is no judgment of the situation, you have no opinion of what's going on and from that point, I think, is a good start to have compassion for what's going on around you. So Hans what do you think about being a chameleon in a human world?

Hans:

Well I think what's really important for people to understand is they don't have to be a chameleon. What they have to do is 'don't fit in to dysfunction'. Make yourself unique. Make yourself different. Chameleons blend into their surroundings so nobody will see them, so nobody will know that they're there. They hide from the appearance of physical reality. What I'm saying to everyone is: Let your light shine. Let your spiritual light shine. Learn to be in the world but not of it. Carve your own path in life and people will say: Wow, you've got a really great life. If you listen to the questions from so many of our wonderful people, you can hear them as they struggle while learning to be in the world but not of it. But what Spirit continues to look at is: Have you set your intention? And so they don't look at the deed, they still look at the intention. So don't be a chameleon. Blend in but don't become "of it". You can walk through the world but you don't have to come of the world. Okay? So being spiritual in a human world means opening yourself up to all the uniqueness that is inherent in your spiritual being. Alfred I think that will conclude the lesson for today.
