Topic: Holding Spiritual Energy for New Beginnings
November 14, 2015


HANS:
Hi everybody. Welcome. Today’s topic is “Holding Spiritual Energy for New Beginnings.” Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been talking about how to navigate out of your old life. How to understand what you don’t want anymore. We had you make a list of what you don’t want, and we asked you to let it go. We talked about how you do that. How do you let go of our trauma and our drama and the appearance of our life? Remember, we talked about how no two things can be in the same place at the same time, so you have to let go in order to receive. We had some really positive emails, and I thank you very much.

Now, last week we talked about putting your stuff that’s the new life you want into that space. Here’s the difficult part about that—it’s called holding the intention. Got that? Holding the intention. In the moment, so many people say, “I’ve got it! I’m going to be changing and I’m clearing my space, and here’s the new things I want to feel the energy of in my new life.” And then they set off on their journey and the phone rings. There’s a phone call from a parent or a friend. The mind starts to get engaged with the old drama, with the old problems. This is really devastating, if you allow it, because the mind is actually trying to take you back to where it was comfortable. Not to the unknown that it’s not certain of and it may not have control over. It wants to return you again to the old life which it knew well. But remember, it was that mind chatter that caused all the pain and suffering in your life. So, this is a time to say, “You know what? My resolve is so strong that I have no intentions of going backwards in order to go forwards.”

So, today is about learning how to hold your intentions. Alfred, you have some mediation exercises about holding your intention, don’t you?

ALFRED:
Many. But let’s talk on a theoretical basis and let you know what happens. When you finally set your intention to move forward, what is left of your ego is going to fight harder for survival. It will start harassing you more. It will speak louder and you will tell us, “I’m doing this right. Why is my mind chatter getting stronger?”

HANS:
And the fear will grow stronger.

ALFRED:
The fear will grow stronger. Your mind chatter will start screaming at you. This is normal.

HANS:
Absolutely normal. Maybe bring a little humor to it.

ALFRED:
Bring a little humor to it. Say, treat it as a spoiled child.

HANS:
There it goes again.

ALFRED:
What happens when you try and take a toy away from a spoiled child? It’s going to scream at you, but you have to be the parent: this is who’s in charge, this is the spoiled child, and be consistent. Eventually, the spoiled child stops kicking and screaming. The worst thing you can do is let it have it’s own way and realize if it kicks and screams, “Oh, that’s how I can get my way.” You have to be consistent.

HANS:
Boy, is that ever the truth! You must be consistent in your intention to change your behavioral patterns. You have to understand, it’s the job of the mind to try to return you to the old way of being. You come in and you talk to your heart and you say, “We must reinforce our resolve. Reinforce our resolve into the new beginning.” The mind is going to pull at you. We like to say about two weeks, if you work on it diligently, then it begins to calm down. But any change to the mind is a threat. So when your heart-mind sets out for a new beginning, you’re really notifying the fear and the mind chatter that it’s no longer necessary. That’s when it goes to war and that’s when it starts throwing its temper tantrums. But remember, just as the parent has control over the child, you have control over the temper tantrum your mind is bringing up. It will flood you with stuff that could happen—you’re going to lose your job, you’re going to get cancer, you’re going to get pneumonia, a car crash. It just throws everything it can at you, and if you just say, “I give you no more space here. I’m in a new resolve for  a peaceful approach to my new life.” You reinforce that every day. “I’m in a peaceful place in my new approach to my new life.” And you just keep reinforcing it and reinforcing it. Then, after a bit, it becomes automatic.

ALFRED:
So in summary, the first topic we’re talking about is being consistent in your resolve. Being consistent in your determination. Being consistent in your intention to go to that place that you don’t know. To go to that place that you don’t understand.

HANS:
You know, Alfred, how many times we say, “My intention is to do this.” And before we know it, without even seeing it, the mind has literally pulled us back into the old behavior. We don’t even see it coming, but it’s sneaky and it’s crafty.

ALFRED:
That’s a good one. So off to our second topic for today: how to help yourself with your resolve. Your mind will come up with various things it’s going to be saying, and there’s a lot of things you can say back to your mind. We call this reprogramming. Giving your mind chatter new things to think about. You need to tell it who’s in charge and what’s really important to you. So when your mind chatter comes and starts telling you, “No, we need to back to the old way,” there’s a lot of things that can help you talk to your mind chatter to let it know who’s in charge.

HANS:
That’s the whole thing. Letting the mind know that you and your heart and your intentions are in charge. It will argue with you. Oftentimes you’ve heard me say it’s like going to war against your own mind, but it really is. Your mind believes it’s defending you from the unknown, but if you soothe the little child inside you—we’ve often talked about getting a picture of yourself as a child and holding that picture to your chest and talking to your inner child, which is terrified of change. Terrified of making a mistake.

Folks, the only mistake you can ever make is not making a choice. One way or the other, neither one of them is a mistake. We deal with what we choose at the moment and we have the consequences in front of us. If we choose wisely the consequences are good. If we don’t choose wisely, all that happens is we go back to the old way we were being and we survive through that—and you will survive through it again. But why go there? So being involved in holding the essence of your truth is key right now. For the lady who sent me the email, “Oh, I’m so afraid of change,” the only thing to be afraid of is not changing. Change is good! Nothing remains the same, folks. Nothing.

ALFRED:
How about the mirror exercise?

HANS:
The mirror exercise is very good. This is a toughie for a lot of you, but it simply goes something like this: When you get out of your shower or bath in the morning, dry off, go up to the mirror, and drop the towel. Oh, that will give you a good shock. Look right into your eyes and say, “I don’t know who you are, but I promise you I’m going to find out. And when I do, I’m going to take very very good care of you. I promise you I’m never going to let anyone hurt you again. You are my best friend and I love you very much.”

That, Alfred, is a toughie.

ALFRED:
It is. Your heart is going to take care of you. Your mind will say we have to control the outcome, but the heart has to say the path going forward is about surrendering, about letting go, going with the flow. You’re going to be talking from your heart to your mind, whatever your human-ness is, you’re coming from who you are, the part of you that is eternal and that will continue after the body dissolves away.

HANS:
We’re all headed in the same direction, folks, toward enlightenment, but we’re all in different cars. Just know that Spirit is holding your intention with you. Always remember that. When it’s bleak and it’s scary and it’s dark, remember, Spirit has you. They’re holding you in your intention. You do the same. Can you imagine the power you can create in your life when you learn to partner with Spirit on your behalf? Endless possibilities.

And that will conclude the lesson for today!

Topic: Conspiracy Theories

July 18, 2015

HANS:

Hello everyone. What a beautiful day, no matter where you are. Every day that you wake up, every day, is a beautiful day filled with opportunities beyond the mind's limitation. Okay?

Today's topic is “Conspiracy Theories.” There are some people in our Country, I'm only talking about our Country, who make a living on scaring people. Now, for many years I did the Whole Life Expo's in Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco. 

And every time I did a show, some of you may have remembered that and seen what I would do. They would put me on a Panel. There would be about 9 people and they would always put me on the right-hand side and we would start out with these well-known conspiracy People about the stock market, 9/11... just everything.

ALFRED:

Oh, will the banks crash? Will the U.S. economy crash?

HANS:

Everything.

ALFRED:

Should you put money and gold in your home safe?

HANS:

Oh, thank you Alfred. Oh, my gosh.

ALFRED:

Should you diversify into gold because the whole economy's going to crash?

HANS:

Exactly. And so all these people, and you can see the people, there would be 300 to 500 people in the audience getting fearful... fearful. And then the Moderator would say: And Hans King, what do you think about this? I said: Well, it's a bunch of malarkey. There's nothing wrong. All these people are well intentioned. But the truth of the matter is there's no fact to anything they've just said. It's their idea. It's nothing more than their idea and their opinion.

And when you speak like that, you say: I don't believe in God. I don't believe in Spirit. You believe the worst. And every year I would point out to these people who had given these predictions about all of this, about what was going to happen, I would remind them that nothing of what they'd said actually happened. 

And here's how they do that. As these conspiracy theorists get to the place where they'd said this or that or the other thing was going to happen, they quickly change to a brand new conspiracy, and this one becomes even bigger. Oh, well we don't care about that one. We need to caring about this one because this one because this one has just come up. This is the one we're going to worry about.

Folks, the United States is just fine. It's fine. Yes, we are going to have very sad moments where someone who is emotionally or mentally not quite stable is going to do some terrifying acts... just like the 4 Marines that were shot yesterday. I'm just going to say to you this: We're going to, for a little while longer, going to have situations where someone may be hurt in our Country. We hope not, we pray not. But it could happen. 

But the conspiracy theorists have thousands of people being killed, bridges being blown up, monuments being blown up, the government falling. Please don't believe that. Get on with your life. Knowing always that God loves you.

Again, there are going to be some people who cause some problems. But I,  sometimes in a weak moment, turn to a particular network. I won't give it any  names... and they will be talking about... You know that network where everything is Alert! Alert! Alert! That's called fear. Alert! Even no matter what is - Mary Jane gave birth to twins in Portland, Oregon Alert! Alert! It's hysterically funny. Unfortunately most people don't know that that particular network isn't giving you the truth, they're giving you the fear.

And people get hooked into the fear. And that's why the conspiracy theorists are so popular. Because they just go from one thing to another. Now the latest is the Iran Nuclear Deal. Oh, it's going to destroy the world... Obama signing that is the Death Deal to the United States... Gay Marriage is the Death Deal to organized religion. None of it, children, is true. It is nothing more than someone's opinion to get your attention, to get you fearful. Because fear controls people... always.

That's why I would say when they would get to me: Don't believe a word of it. None of it's true. And you could just see the audience begin to smile and sort of take a breath and I'd say: You're okay, kids. God loves you. Anybody can live in fear. I happened to do an event recently where one of the main conspiracy theorists, when they found out that I was on-board, surprised them, they  suddenly got too sick to do any of their program. Because I announced I would be coming and I would be in the audience. 

And suddenly all of the events were canceled. How is that possible? It's because they know that you cannot shine the dark in the light. And that somewhere along the way people would come to me and say: Is what they said true? And I would say: No, it's not. Don't lend your heart, don't lend your spirit to fear. Alfred, have you noticed that yourself?

ALFRED:

Yes. And what we're talking about is when there's News - when “they” are coming to get “us.” What we're trying to say is the majority of these conspiracy theories are "what is going to happen." We were just watching the TV the other night and somebody was on there saying: It's an absolute "fact" that within 5 to 7 years, because of President Obama's deal with Iran, that Iran will “absolutely” have nuclear arms within 5 to 7 years. I just looked at that and said: Really? That's an absolute fact that something "is" going to happen in the future? 

HANS:

They've adjusted that, Alfred. Today they said: It's going to be 10 years.

ALFRED:

Oh! Oh, they absolutely...

HANS:

They absolutely know now it would be 10 years.

ALFRED:

… positively will. And one of the spiritual lessons that we try to tell you is: If something could possibly might happen in the future, and it takes you out of the now, then go back to being in the now.

HANS:

Yes.

ALFRED:

Because the reality is no one can predict... occasionally Hans... (Laughing) what's going to happen in the future.

HANS:

I'll tell you this. No one is going to die in our lifetime or your children's lifetime through nuclear weapons from Iran - ever. And please folks, don't worry about the State of Israel. She is way more than capable of taking care of herself.

ALFRED:

Okay, so the first thing you want to ask yourself when people start talking about these conspiracy theories - will the banks crash, will the economy crash, should you be fearful of all of these things, should you change your behavior about what could possibly might happen... Then stop and realize you have a choice. To believe the opinion that these people proclaim to be the truth - like the world is going to end. When was going to end? 2012?

HANS:

Oh, yes... everything. And you know they were telling Alfred and I this: It was the end. Be prepared for the end. The Mayan Calendar proved it. Well, Alfred and I, at that time, happened to be living in the Capitol of the Mayan Nation which is a place called Merida. And the Mayans had no idea what we were talking about. And they were doing cruises down here saying: Come and see it before everything is destroyed. And these people were making huge amounts of money taking people down to talk to the Mayans about the destruction of the world... the world is ending.

The Mayans looked at them and said: We never said that. We never said that. It's the same thing, Alfred, they did in what was it 2000, 2001 - it would be the end. Everything would stop running because of the computers. The computers didn't know how to switch to the new time and all of that. None of it was true, children. None of what they're expounding now is true. 

The United States is not going under. Europe is not going under. And then we just had this recent fear - these conspiracy theories taking about how the United States is going the way of Greece very quickly. That this Greek crisis is going to crash the market. I need to explain this to everybody if you don't know now. The Greek economy, the GDP of the Greek economy, is the size of the State of South Carolina. It has no potential, whatsoever, to crash Europe or the world's economy - none. 

So why do people look for conspiracy theorists? Because their own life has gotten so tedious, or hum-drum, they need to prove there's a reason for their pain. The world is no good, the world is falling apart. On the contrary it's a wonderful world. There's far more good in the world than there is evil. It's proven every day.

I don't know whether some of you have had a chance to go on-line and see the gentleman up in Alaska, and their family, out on this boat. And it was good sized boat. I think it was a houseboat. They're going across this lake and suddenly 4  deer come swimming at them. The deer had been frightened into the water by some bears and they were trying to get to the other side of the lake. But the water was so cold that they were beginning to get hypothermia. So they started swimming towards the boat. 

The people on the boat let the side of the boat up so the deer could climb on and they sat down in a little pod and stayed there and allowed the people to pet them and try to warm them up. And when they got to the other side of the lake, the deer didn't get up. They stayed there for awhile in the sun trying to warm up. And gradually the people helped to get them off the boat. One deer couldn't make it. So they got a wheel barrel and they put him in the wheel barrel and they took him over and put him on the dock and then they sat down there. 

And when they got up, they all turned to the people as if to say Thank You and all walked away but one... who stayed longer to say Thank You. Those are the types of stories you can go online every day and find. Or the golden retriever who has adopted all these birds. There is an endless supply of good in this world. 

So when you turn and you listen to these conspiracy theories... One of my best friends, ever, for years, called me two days ago and said: What are we going to do about these chem-trails? The spraying of our Country with all these horrible illness and things. I said: What are you talking about? He said: Well didn't you know all those chem-trails that you see... I said: Those aren't chem-trails. Those are ice particles from jets. And when you fly at that certain level the disruption of the air flow causes that.

Have you ever noticed that after the jet passes, everything begins to clear up? It has nothing to do with chemicals. He said: Oh, no. They've been spraying our Country with all kinds of bacteria and... I said: Are you listening to Late Night Radio again? He said: Yes. I said: I know what you're listening to. I said: We're not being sprayed by chemicals... at all. But this is what I'm talking about.

Alfred brings up things constantly. He says: Well there goes another "fear campaign." Right, Alfred?

ALFRED:

Yes. And we're helping you identify what are these particular conspiracy theories. The first one that we talked about is what possibly might could happen in the future that they say is absolute fact. Okay, should you be scared of somebody's opinion that they declare to be the truth? Well, spiritually speaking - No. Because  it takes you out of the "now" and you start believing what is "outside" of you.

The second thing is should you be concerned and change your behavior about what is going on external to you? Okay, should you be afraid of what they say on Late Night TV or Radio? Should you be afraid of something that might have some relevance? There's currently some underground political agenda that's actually running the Country... 

There's a conspiracy theory, I'm sure you've all heard many of them, about our current President. And the reality is, spiritually speaking - what is the most important thing in the world? That is the question. And what we like to say the most important thing in the world is: Do  you chose to be happy and peaceful in the moment - regardless of what's going on around "you?"

And that is, for us, one of the most important spiritual lessons that we're trying to say. Even Mahatma Gandhi, during one of the most tumultuous times in existence, when India was uprising against the invasion from Great Britain. He said: No, it doesn't matter what's going on. He said: Be inside you the change that you wish to see in the world. Be free inside you first. That's where it starts. That's where your peace and happiness comes from.

HANS:

We did a show, folks, you may have listened to it, I hope you did, about 2 months ago and the title was "Fear and Doubt Can Only Live In The House You Build." The English have a term I love. It says: You see what you look for you know. So if you've built a house for fear and doubt, fear and doubt is what I guarantee you you will find. And I will guarantee you somebody will feed you that information that you need to hear to put that in that house of fear and doubt.

I constantly get asked: Who's going to be the next President? I can tell you... probably "someone" will be the next President. Alfred, didn't you tell me recently that somebody told you that the election's going to be postponed or moved or something of that nature?

ALFRED:

Oh, we have a question that we're going to answer about that. Somebody was asking us if the election is going to be postponed.

HANS:

Oh, my goodness. Can you imagine?

ALFRED:

Because of some theory.

HANS:

No. I'll answer that question at the proper time. But no it's not. It's not going to be postponed. There will be an election. We will have another President. We will have a new Senate. We will have a new House to some degree. But the Country will proceed on. We will proceed on. Many of our current problems that we have today - and I know I'll get in trouble for saying this - one of the biggest universal laws is called "cause and effect". There was something that caused our Country to interfere with other Nations in another part of the world for no apparent reason. The cause of that has brought an effect upon ourselves. So this will pass. 

So, folks, don't look for sadness and it won't find you. There's going to be times in all of our lives children, when we don't feel well, we may even get sick because we're in human form. The body may get sick. We may lose our job. We may be a little low on money. All of us. All of us from time to time will have the appearance of some testing and a little struggle. But always remember this one thing I tell you over and over again: You cannot shine the dark in the light, the light will always prevail... so long as you look for it. Always look for the light. Always look for the silver lining.

Buddha said: In the end these things matter most - how well did you love, how fully did you live, how deeply did you let go. Let go of fear. Love. Live well. You don't need money, children, to live well. You need belief. You need belief. And so, just remember that when you hear all these conspiracies... Remember how we were told that the President was a lame duck, he'd never get another thing done, he was finished, he was over, the House didn't vote for his Trade Deal and nobody was going to fund his Iran Nuclear Deal... All this stuff... None of it happened. 

Because the light of Spirit is shining on us "now". Don't trust anybody who says they want to return us to yesterday. Yesterday was not nearly as wonderful as some of you may think. We have been struggling for a very long time in this Nation to bring equality to all of our peoples, not just a few specific peoples, all of our people. Our complexion is changing. Our dynamics are changing. And the conspiracy theorists would have us believe that we have to return to a time when we had prejudice. A time when people where people were not free to be who they are. A time where one class of humanity tried to rule over the rest of everyone else.

So conspiracy theorists want us to believe the darkest of times are ahead of us. But I'm 72 years old and I can remember the first time I saw that. I was walking in Los Angeles on Sunset Boulevard and there was a man with a Sandwich Board which said: The End is Near - Repent. As far back as humanity has been, there has been what I used to call "doom and gloomers." Alfred, you've know of this before, haven't you?

ALFRED:

Yes, and what we're trying to tell you is that they're actually trying to influence your behavior. That if they scare you into thinking the economy's going to crash, the banks are going to crash, they're going to sell you gold... if you're afraid. If you're afraid that they're coming to get you, then they're going to sell you Survival Products.

HANS:

Exactly. Oh, that's the new thing. I don't whether anybody's seeing that...

ALFRED:

Oh, I just saw something that said: These dried products will last 25 years. Oh my God...

HANS:

I know... I just saw somebody on TV, Alfred, who is somebody that we used to all look up to, a Senator, who now is promoting a new deal that says: Our Country is going to be collapsing soon. I know this person who can help you and it'll cost you nothing to go to the site. Except when you get there, and then there's the big fee. And I'm thinking we thought this person was above all of this nonsense. This person talked about all these things as being terrible... and is now doing the very same thing.

Don't worry about whether you have gold. You know they keep selling gold and gold... even gold futures. There isn't that much gold available to sell those futures. Does anybody realize that? That's the same thing as when you go to buy a time-share in a specific building you want and they've said: Oh yes you can have this time-share. What they don't tell you is there's no space left in the time-share. They've already bought another building and they're going to put you over in that one.

I used to stand out in front of this time-share in Puerto Vallarta and tell people: Don't go in, you'll lose your money. They hated me there. Okay? So the greatest gift you can give yourself is don't let the mind chatter around conspiracy develop. And some of my best friends still get fearful. 

Okay Alfred, that will conclude the lesson for today. Thank you for all your help.

Topic: Fear vs Faith and Trust in Spirit 

June 12, 2015

HANS:

Good evening everybody. Well, here we are. We made it back to California and a good time was had in Mexico. I thank all of you for your kind wishes that you sent. We got a lot of work done... a lot of things that we needed to get done and we're back here. We did take Bella... her first airplane trip. 

Going down the dogie Valium worked; coming back the dogie Valium didn't work. We had to go from Puerto Vallarta to San Francisco and she did not like that. And she let us know in no uncertain terms. But she's just fine as you hear her tonight rustling around, well you'll know that she's up and running again.

Thank all of you for your kind emails this week. They have been very, very generous in the praise of this show and what it means to me... So I thank you all so very, very much.

Tonight I want to talk about a subject called "Why is Trust So Hard?" You know through the years you've heard me speak of trust and faith and... Have you ever noticed how we trust when things are going our way? And then when things start to get side-tracked, when life takes a detour, we have a tendency to let trust slip. 

And guess what comes in to replace trust? Fear - our old friend - Fear. Isn't it easy how we can go... When everything is fine, we say: Oh, I trust, I trust, I trust. But let something go wrong in our imagination, from our perception... let something go awry and suddenly all that trust that we said we had begins to turn to fear and despair. And then the "what-if's" and the "possibilities" and the "could's" and maybe there... maybe, just maybe our faith wasn't as strong as we thought it was.

Trust is a strange term. For me, trust means "being." Knowing all that happens around me has nothing to do with me. Of course when you get to be my age you can probably say that. But I think when you're a younger person or you're in your 30's or 40's or early 50's, I think it's much different because there are so many things that present themselves to us.

You know, since the election, so many of my friends, not only in this country but overseas, have been saying: But we believed. But we had faith. We knew we that this was the way that we needed to go and now look at what's happened, we've been punished for it. Remember what I say to you folks sometimes when I say: "And what makes you think anything is wrong?" Our perception is that somebody won an election. Somebody apparently appeared to lose an election. But is that true? 

If we have trust that right action will prevail no matter what the appearance... If we back away from the pundents... I catch myself... Oh my goodness, shame on me. I've got to tell you. I go from Keith Oberman over to FOX back to Chris Matthews back to FOX. And it's so interesting how there are two entirely different perceptions of what is going on in the United States. Two different... It's as though there are two entirely different people living in the United States... groups, camps.

For those of you who had absolute faith and trust in the previous election shall we say, you may say: What happened to that trust? What happened to that faith? What indeed has happened? Many people lost their trust and their faith and didn't go to vote. It's that simple. Voter turnout was down significantly. People in the middle moved right, that's all. Both parties, both groups of people believe they hold the answer and they trust in that and they want to believe in that. 

So we have two people with absolutely diametrically opposed belief systems... thinking God loves only them and therefore, they're right. What I'm going to ask all of you to do is watch and see... watch and see, my friends, two years and see what happens. Just watch and see what happens. You might be surprised. 

For instance, I was talking to a lady I know the other day before I left Mexico. And she said to me: Hansie, it appears I'm going to lose my job. I've been here for 31 years. I'm not trained to do anything else. I don't know anything else. She said: I've lost my trust in Spirit because this is not what I had planned. So I've known her long enough... She lives in the midwest... I've known her long enough to say to her: Margaret, what makes you think anything is wrong? She said: Because I trusted it and I believed that I would have this job until I couldn't work any longer.

And I said to her: Do you remember our last conversation? When you said to me: The only thing, Hansie, I regret is that I didn't follow this dream that I had to do this thing. I said: Yes, I remember that thing. She said: That's the only thing I regret. If I could, I would've changed that. If I could, I would have changed that. Well, Spirit heard that as: I wish I could change that. And so I said to her again: What makes you think that anything is wrong? She's still struggling with that.

If you have trust, sheer trust, just absolute trust and belief that Spirit will get you through, that Spirit does know who you are. If you have absolutely trust and faith that Spirit is leading you in the right direction, even though, in your perceptions, something has happened. For all of you who love me, I love you back. But I watched the questions throughout the last eight months or however long we've been being with you, and you can see how we all struggle with trust and belief. 

Because we wouldn't ask the questions we ask if we trusted in Spirit. We would know that no matter what presents itself as truth is only truth if it is truth. Because we have a perception that Spirit sometimes must alter, do we ever stop and say: Well, I wonder where this road is going to lead me? Or do we automatically replace trust with fear? 

So, again, when everything is going well, oh we trust, we believe... But, when something goes awry fear comes in, then doubt comes in, then the shadows come in, then the worry, the fear, the guilt, the what-if's. All the things that don't happen... that don't happen. But we start adding energy and adding power to that possibility. And that's when we begin to fail ourselves. We can never fail Spirit because Spirit does not judge us. But we, when we lose our trust and our absolute faith...

I had an opportunity to be at Agape about a month ago... Agape University, Reverend Michael Beckwith. And Reverend Michael was talking about what happens when we lose our faith. What happens is the mind comes in with its old set of tapes and it begins to run those tapes and those tapes begin to attract doubt and fear and panic... and the what-if's. The what-if's become bigger and bigger and bigger. None of which are true, mind you. None of this is true. It came out of a perception that because something didn't go "this way", it's automatically going to go "that way."

I talked to a gentleman the other day, down in Mexico on the beach, and he said to me... We were talking about something and I said: Well what would you have changed? He said: Well I would have done this a lot earlier. He said: I spent all those years, all those years working and paying bills and paying debt and trying to accumulate some money... trying to get some stocks, some bonds, trying to protect my family and here I am at 55 wiped out. After all I did... all I did. All the commuting, all the tuition, all the stuff I did. My wife is gone. All I did was wiped out because I had faith and I believed that's where I should go. He said: Next time I'm going to put my faith in myself and not in someone or something else. 

Folks, put your faith in yourself and you'll never, ever go wrong. Fear, you've heard me say for half a century now, fear is the greatest enemy we ever have. Remember, we have nothing to fear but fear itself. I hope they speak those words at my memorial. I hate to steal that from Franklin. But fear drives us to do things, fear drives us to say things, fear motivates us to become less than who we actually are. 

And when you go to that mirror... I received a letter from a lady, an email... I guess letters are out of the question anymore... an email from a lady the other day and she said: For the first time I finally heard you. She said: I've had your "Stop Searching and Start Living."  She said: I've had "You Are Enough." I've got all these things. She said: I finally went to the mirror and did what you said and she said: I couldn't tell myself "I loved myself." She said: That's when I knew that I had been governed by my subconscious and my fear all of my life. And she's 50 years old.

She said: But I worked on it and I worked on it and I worked on it. And she said: Finally when I could say: And I love you very much and I'm going to take care of you and no one is ever going to harm you again. Which of course is speaking to your fear. She said: It was like this flash of light went through the room. She said: Everything started moving and there was energy flowing and color and Boom! It stopped suddenly. And she said: I felt like this giant weight had just been lifted off me and thrown away.

That's what happens when you let go of fear and no matter life presents you with, you have absolute faith. Know how much much the Spirit loves you when you love yourself and you believe in you and you believe in Them.

And that will conclude the lesson for this evening.
