Topic: The Wonder of Choice
December 12, 2015




HANS:
For many people the only choice they have each day is how to find food. How to find shelter. It’s not about whether they will eat, it’s whether will they be able to. We are born in this country into a society of plenty and we have all kinds of situations here to help everybody at different levels. I don’t think a lot of people  understand how many safety nets there are in the United States. I’m not saying it’s perfect, but we have so many safety nets to help our people to get through.

This time of the year, do something for you. Everybody’s out wrapping presents. I said to Alfred yesterday, the traffic here in Asheville is crazy. It’s the most I’ve ever seen. I realized, oh, everybody’s running to get Christmas presents and visit with friends, and that’s wonderful, but let’s have a choice that says, “I’m going to give myself peace. I’ve decided I’m going to give myself peace.” 

ALFRED:
A lot of the things we cover in the abundance course is understanding that you’re in limitation if your abundance is defined by money. You can have the abundance of love, the abundance of joy, the abundance of happiness, the abundance of peace. Notice how spiritual those words are. They’re in sync with the universal energy, in sync with the universal flow. Now say, “My abundance is money.” That just sounds like it’s limitation.

So when you’re thinking of ways to pamper yourself and choices that you have, think about what is in the flow, what is real. If you’re thinking in physical terms, you’re in limitation. If you’re thinking of what is truth, where you’re going, where you came from, you’re thinking of things that are in flow with universal energy.

HANS:
Absolutely. And you know, today I’m going to be sitting outside on my porch, in my rocker, and if anybody would have told me back in the days, when I was born in Los Angeles that I’d be sitting on the side of a mountain in a rocker on the front porch in the mountains, I would have thought, “Oh, well you need some help!”

But the peace and the joy of being able to do that is absolutely wonderful. Listening to the birds. Bella likes to come out and sit.

You have choices. Give yourself the gift of choice. Don’t get caught up, children, in the appearance of lack. Of scarcity. Of fear. Of doubt. Don’t do that. Find something, anything, that makes you smile. For those of you who have computers, you can go on the internet and there’s just a ton of things you can do. I recommend for instance, you can go and watch the H.M.S Ocean. Mariah Carey’s Christmas song, and watch the whole crew, boys and girls, mime the whole song. It’s wonderful! Free. You can go and listen to music, for free.

You have an abundance of gifts here, let’s not focus on political candidates saying stupid things. Let’s not focus on the pundits. Remember, all those pundits that they pay all that money to for about what might happen. Isn’t that right, Alfred?


ALFRED:
Yes, and you have two choices when you’re looking at how you’re going to feel about things. Are you worrying about what might, could possibly happen in the future, or are you reflecting upon being in the moment, being in the now, as a basis of spiritual principles? If you want to find peace, joy and happiness, it’s about being in the moment. If you’re in the future, you’re in separation.

HANS:
Absolutely. So just finding simple things to do. Sometimes getting some pictures of the family that’s crossed over and sitting down and being with those pictures, and putting a little Christmas ball here, and a little something there, and maybe a card or two, anything that brings you in joy and in touch with your history, the wonder, how you got here, all these wonderful people that made your life possible, some of them you never knew. Your great grandparents; you never even knew them.

Being grateful and happy in the moment at the holiday season. Let your Guidance know, let Spirit know that you’re not caught up in the appearance of fear. We have a policy here where we don’t really do gifts for Christmas, we give all year long. That’s something a lot of you should look at. Don’t be panicked if you don’t have a Christmas present. Or you give one or receive one. That’s not what’s important. Did you get a hug from someone you haven’t seen in a year? That’s important. Did you go and have a coffee with someone you’ve been too busy to see and they’ve been too busy—and did you get caught up?

Our little dog Bella got really sick, with a bronchial condition and the coughing was just horrible, and she got to the doctor yesterday, and she’s up and running. She wasn’t happy. She had to have some shots and some antibiotics, all kinds of stuff, but I’m grateful she’s okay.

ALFRED:
Yes.

HANS:
Choices. Opportunities. Let this Christmas be something that rings in your heart. That reminds you of all the chances you’ve had. All the good things that have been in your life. Don’t dwell on what didn’t show up. Don’t dwell on what hasn’t happened. Dwell on, “Oh, I’m still here. I’m still alive. I have choices. I have possibilities.”

Alfred and I have friends right now that won’t be here next year at Christmas. Their choices are limited but they’re still smiling, and, folks, that’s the key.

Don’t look at the appearance of your life as reality. Just look, “Oh that’s passing through me. Oh that’s passing by. I wonder what I’m supposed to learn from this?” And we’re getting ready for a whole new year. A brand new beginning, and in that beginning, you have all kinds of wonderful gifts that by this time next year you’ll say, “Well how did that happen? I never saw that coming.”

I had a telephone call from a lady the other day and she said, “Hansie I have to cancel my appointment, I’ve lost my job.” I said, “Wonderful, what are you going to do?” She said, “You know what? At first I got very frightened, but then I realized I didn’t want that job, it just was a lousy time for it to happen.” I said, “What are you going to do?” She said she was going to make a list of what she didn’t want anymore. There you go. She said, “I’m not going to fund energy to that anymore, and when I’m ready I’ll give you a call.” I said, “Wonderful!”

So folks, what I want you to know is that there are possibilities in your life everyday, and those possibilities increase as you believe. The key is believing. 

And that will conclude the lesson for today.

Topic: New Beginnings
November 9, 2015


HANS:
Hi everyone. Today’s topic is “New Beginnings.” In the last couple of weeks we’ve been dealing with learning how the process is for letting go. Looking at the fears that occur with letting go, looking at the possibilities of letting go. This show today will be the next logical step—how to prepare your new platform. You’ve let go, so now it’s like building a new house when there’s a current house on the lot. You’ve torn down the house and pulled out the plumbing, re-arranged the ground for electrical work, you’ve done all this, now—what do you want?

That’s where you have to go now.

Your new beginning is coming up because you’ve created a vacuum. You’ve created a void. Where do you want to go? What is it you want to see happen in your life? How do you want to feel in your new beginning? Very important—how do you want to feel? All of you who have let go, have let go of stuff that doesn’t work anymore in your life, so you know how that feels. How do you want to feel in your new life?

What Spirit is looking for—you’ve heard me mention this any number of times—They want to see an intention in you. When They see the intention, your job is to tell Spirit what you’d like the experience of and Their job, after you’ve let go of what doesn’t work anymore, is to bring the doors of opportunity for that. So as you let go, as you clear your space, you begin to set your intentions, Spirit’s job then is to back you up. That’s what today’s topic is about.

ALFRED:
Let us help you with understanding how you get what you want if you don’t know what you want.

HANS:
That’s okay.

ALFRED:
It’s actually okay if you don’t know what you want, because what we’re trying to help you with is: it’s good enough to understand how do I want to feel? I want to feel happy. I want to feel peaceful. I want to feel love. I wish to feel abundant. I wish to feel at one with the world. That is good enough!

HANS:
It really is for now.

ALFRED:
When you’re asking for the experience of, you can say, “I wish for the experience of feeling happy.” Then the way that you communicate that is not simply repeating to yourself, “I wish to feel happy, I wish to feel happy.” No. That’s inviting the human-ness in. Do this on a spiritual basis which is: I wish to feel happy. Give off the vibration of the emotion. You’re actually communicating with the other side on a vibrational and energetic basis.

So when you’re saying to the other side, “I wish the experience of happiness,” you’re projecting out from the center of your chest, how you would like to feel the feeling of happiness. You’re communicating with the other side through vibration and energy.

HANS:
What we’re saying to you is, it’s okay in not knowing. For the moment. It’s okay. But if you’ve set your intention to find out, that’s what They want to see. It may not come right away. You may say to yourself, I don’t know what I want, I’m just going to do nothing. Okay, that’s fine. You don’t want to stay in that place, but the key to everything is setting your intention to have a new beginning. You might only have one thing. I would like the experience of a new job.  I would like the experience of a new relationship.  I would like the experience of finding and seeing myself. Set those intentions. Spirit listens intensely to the intention—never the deed—only the intention. So as we move forward in life, in our new beginning, we are literally projecting ourself away from the old life; what you did, what happened to you, where you went, what didn’t work, the pain, the good, whatever was back there that doesn’t serve you anymore, we’ve let go of now.

Sometimes in the letting go, there’s just nothing. And in the nothing comes fear. Automatically, because we tend in the human form, to put a dragon in the unknown. So the whole process of letting go is about trust. About believing in the blankness of letting go.

ALFRED:
It is about holding the vibration regardless of whether you understand—you don’t understand what you’re looking for, you don’t understand what you want, you don’t understand where you’re going, perfectly fine. Your job is to hold the vibration—of happiness, of peacefulness, and that is what you’re communicating out. And if you hold that, as much as possible, then what will happen is—that is what will be attracted to you.

HANS:
Absolutely. The most important thing that Spirit is looking for is trust by you for Them, to Them, and setting the intention. So you’re letting go and you’re saying, “I trust that you know what is best for me. I’m going to tell you what I’d like to experience, I’m going to tell you how I’d like to feel in the experience and I trust that you Spirit, you God, will bring those doors to me.” That’s very, very important. The trust factor. Because They always do. But there’s something that always occurs during all of this sounding good; there’s a little green meanie inside of everybody that says—but what if you’re wrong?

ALFRED:
And that’s a good start for our next topic: Doubt and Fear.

HANS:
Well, they’re each other’s best friend.

ALFRED:
Yes. During this process when we are starting out on our new beginnings, what happens when you get doubtful? What happens when you get fearful?

HANS:
It’s nothing more, children, than a lesson that you set to learn. It’s okay to get doubtful. It’s okay to get fearful. It’s not okay to stay there. The moment you start to get fearful or doubts come, you immediately turn to your inner child and say, “We’re turning to Spirit to take care of this for us. We know we place our faith in Spirit.”

When you place your trust in Spirit, when you place your trust in God, all the little stuff gets done. But the lesson is going to be: do you actually stay in the fear and the doubt or do you rise above it and say, “I choose not to give you a home anymore.”

Remember the show we did last year when we said doubt and fear can only live in the house you build? We are choosing not to re-open the door to that house.

ALFRED:
That’s a good exercise. When you are communicating to the other side what you want, the energy and vibration of what you’re giving off is the energy you want, that you request to have in your life. It is not the energy of the way that you were. There’s an old saying in spirituality, don’t say, “I don’t want this,” because that is what is going to be attracted to you. What you don’t want is the vibration you are holding. “I don’t want chaos, I don’t want insanity, I don’t want drama.” Guess what the vibration you are giving off is? Insanity, drama, that is the vibration you are giving off because that is what is in your consciousness. The word not really doesn’t do too much.

So if you’re remembering and saying, “I don’t want this, I don’t want this,” that’s what you’re going to get. What’s really important is holding your vibration steady. Instead of the vibration that was, think about the vibration that’s coming to you. You’re holding the vibration of peacefulness, of happiness.

What helps you hold that? Trust. Faith. What will tempt you to waiver is fear. Doubt. What you are paying attention to in the exercise is, how do you feel? What is the vibration you are giving off? If you allow fear or doubt into your consciousness, the vibration you are going to give off is going to waver. You are going to a place and giving off a vibration of things you don’t want in your life—but guess what? That’s your vibration. What did we learn? What we are trying to say is on a spiritual level to hold your vibration constant. If fear, doubt, thinking about your past come in, try to let them go. Don’t allow them to stay in your being.

HANS:
It all sounds very complex. It sounds difficult, but once you start to deal with truth, pure and simple truth…. Truth is simplicity itself. That’s the normal flow of life, is truth, so once you learn that there’s nothing to be afraid of, that all of that you’re going through you’re making up in the mind and you’re processing your own fears, you’re creating your own anxieties, once you understand that, the truth and the flow gets easier and easier and easier.

So we’ve spent two weeks of learning to let go of what doesn’t work anymore and now we’re going to move on to our new platform. What we don’t want will no longer be here. I like to say, at this time, take it in little bits. Don’t try to have a great big grand scheme of things, pick little things you’d like the experience of at first. If you’re going to build a house, you don’t build a house without the plans. You have to start somewhere. You start at the front doorstep, but mind how you go, one day at a time and as you begin to work this, assimilate your new life one step at a time.

Alfred is playing the song ‘Don’t Worry - Be Happy” now.

ALFRED:
Be happy. Hold the vibration of happiness, of peace, and that’s enough.

HANS:
If you get a chance, listen to the whole song in it’s entirety.  “Don’t worry. Be happy.” Thank you, Alfred. I’m very proud of you! We used to at the end of each class always… Jennifer, Alfred, Bella, and I… we’d get up and dance back and forth across the camera to that song!


And that will conclude the lesson for today.

Topic: Seeing Past the Illusion
September 26, 2015


HANS:
Hi everyone. Welcome on this beautiful day, and it is truly a beautiful day today. Today’s topic is “Seeing Past the Illusion.” I want to talk a little bit about something that all of us have been dealing with for a long time. One of the lessons that my Guidance has always taught me was seeing past the illusion, that we have a tendency in our life to become what we need to see. Isn’t that strange? We become what we need to see. Well, the old adage is, “You see what you look for, you know.” Now, most people don’t realize that everything that’s going in their life and around their life is either their illusion or somebody else’s illusion. Someone once said, does the tree in the forest make a sound when it falls if no one’s there to hear it? That’s kind of what I’m trying to get at today. Our mind is busy trying to create what it hopes is the life it can be happy with, and it puts a great deal of energy into trying to get this job, trying to get this to work, trying to get that to work, what’s going on with this, what’s going on with that, and it all is a very large illusion. Now, you can learn to play with the illusion... however, if you believe the illusion is real, then you basically lost the game.

ALFRED:
Let me try to translate this, Hans. It’s like Disneyland is real and we try to say, "No, it’s Disneyland. You can go there and go have fun, go on the rides, don’t take yourself too seriously. Please don’t cut any lines or bump anybody."

HANS:
You mean like you do.

ALFRED:
I don’t so that anymore.

HANS:
You used to.

ALFRED:
So don’t cut the lines, be nice, be polite to other people in line, get on the ride, have fun, but eventually you’re going to leave Disneyland.

HANS:
Exactly.

ALFRED:
Is that a good analogy?

HANS:
It’s very good. I’m proud of you.

ALFRED:
Some people think Disneyland is real.

HANS:
Yes. You can see that little children would like to believe Disneyland is real.

ALFRED:
I always wanted to fly. I didn’t understand why I couldn’t fly.

HANS:
You don’t have feathers.

ALFRED:
But why? It just doesn’t make any sense.

HANS:
Because different things evolve to do different things.

ALFRED:
Is that my illusion?

HANS:
It may be your illusion, because you get on airplanes and fly across the country all the time and never think anything about that - that’s flying.

ALFRED:
But by myself. Why do I need an airplane?

HANS:
Take that up with God.

ALFRED:
I’ll have to ask when I get to the other side. So anyway, the illusion is believing that what you’re going through, whatever it is, is reality.

HANS:
I learned a long time ago, my friends, to set your intention and hold it. And you’ve heard me throughout the years talk about setting your intentions. I had a great conversation with some wonderful people last night about setting your intentions and holding it. That’s where the power comes from in your life. Unfortunately, people tend to set their intention and then lose the power of it, and then wonder why it doesn’t show up. So, what I’m trying to say to all of you is there is an opportunity in your life to try something new, and that is set your intention and hold it. Don’t second guess it, don’t wonder it, don’t question it, set your intention and everything then comes to be. You see?

ALFRED:
What’s the purpose of having an intention in Disneyland?

HANS:
Joy.

ALFRED:
There we go! The experience of experiencing life as a human.

HANS:
It brings us to a more childlike state. And so going to Disneyland, if you pretend there are no crowds. That’s what I always did. I pretended there were no crowds and therefore I never saw any crowds.

ALFRED:
It’s like driving in traffic in Los Angeles. You can let it upset you or you….

HANS:
As you know, Alfred, for over twenty years I commuted from Ft. Lauderdale to Dadeland, south of Miami, everyday, five days a week, back and forth. I never saw the traffic. I saw the clouds, the thunder, the lightening. I saw the downtown buildings that blinked all their different colors, but I didn’t see the traffic. Therefore, I never suffered the traffic. Get it?

ALFRED:
And the other thing is if somebody does decide to cut you off, instead of getting mad, you can bless them.

HANS:
I do.

ALFRED:
Say, “Please make it home safely without killing yourself or anybody else.”

HANS:
Exactly.

ALFRED:
So it’s how do you look at the experience of this incarnation is what we’re getting at. Not only how do you look at it, but how can you have fun? Find joy?

HANS:
When you see past the illusion, you understand that all that’s happening in your life is what you created. People always think life is what happens to them. No, no, no. You set your intention, you put policy in place, and there is a reaction to the policy which comes back to you, but if your original intention is to find joy and peace, learn to look past the illusion.

ALFRED
Because if you think that the illusion is real, you would actually get upset.

HANS:
Yes.

ALFRED:
And the truth is that there is really nothing to get upset about.

HANS:
You’ve heard me now for five years on this show talk to you about, “They themselves are makers of themselves” by Dr. James Allen. Hear it again, “They themselves are makers of themselves.” In all my sixty years of being in service, it is the single hardest thing I have ever tried to teach anyone. 

ALFRED:
I always like to quote the Dalai Lama, because a lot of people, especially our students have said,"Well, there’s lots of stuff that you should be getting upset about." What we like to say is there is a difference between how you hold yourself and injustice in the world. For example, when the Dalai Lama was interviewed recently the interviewer asked, “Well aren’t you upset about what China has done to Tibet?” And the Dalai Lama said, “No.” And the interviewer got very obstinate and said, “How can you not be upset? They’ve invaded your country, they’ve exiled you.” And the Dalai Lama says, “I choose to be happy.” And the poor interviewer could not understand so the Dalai Lama elaborated and said, “Because there is injustice in the world, does not mean it should upset you. I choose to be happy. And as a happy and more peaceful person, then I am more able to deal with the injustice and be a better politician, but I refuse to let that upset me.” Do you see the difference between the two?

HANS:
So when you realize that you are the makers of yourselves, you realize that all that is going on is operating out of your own consciousness. And when you realize it’s all operating out of your own consciousness, you can say, “I choose to see past this illusion and I’m going to create a new one.” So you can keep changing the illusion. For instance, I want to talk to you about the word abundance. We all have an idea what abundance looks for each one of us, but the way I look at abundance is free will and choice and just knowing that you can re-organize your life at any time. That you can train yourself to be peaceful and loving and quiet and kind and compassionate. That’s abundance. Knowing that you are separating yourself from all the craziness that’s going on in the world. That’s abundance. When the Pope came to the country the other day, I was astounded by the volumes of people surrounding him everywhere he went. Hundreds of thousands of people - why? Because he represented peace. He represented compassion, caring. He looked at the injustice, the inequalities and incomes, how that affected the poorest of us. How climate change affected the poorest of us. Now, I’m not a Catholic, but you don’t have to be a Catholic to have those ideals. And each and every one of you can see past the illusion. And that’s the key - to see past the illusion, the illusion that says this is the way it is, this is the way it’s always been, this is the way it’s always going to be. That, people, is not true. And you can remove yourself from the old illusions that you have created for yourself and bring a whole new sense of reality to you. You know about that, Alfred.

ALFRED:
Now, we may be throwing some of you for a loop to say, wait a minute, what does it have to do with changing the world? And we present you with a question and it is: What is the only thing or the only person in the entire universe that you can change? Yourself. You do not have the ability to change anyone else, or anything else, besides you! Yes, you can grab ahold of something, you can do something, but the way spirituality works is you first follow Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings and go within. The rest of the world does not need change for you to be happy. The rest of the world does not need to change or be different for you to find joy. It is your perception of the illusion that determines the amount of joy and peace and happiness in your life. It is first from within that you find joy and happiness. Yes, you may decide to be of service in a specific way, to help in a specific way, absolutely fine, but what we try to emphasize is to first see past the illusion to ensure you come from a peaceful place, you come from a happy place, a joyful place - and then go out and be of service.

HANS:
And you know, folks, what we find difficult to believe when we are in the middle of a mind chatter bombardment from ourselves, is we don’t remember that this isn’t true. We believe that because it’s here and we’re operating in it, therefore it must be real. The truth of the matter is, like the old Buddhist monk said to me once, “Young man, what makes you think that anything is wrong?” Then I gave him the litany and answers to why it was and he said, “No, no, son, that’s your perception of the moment. That doesn’t mean that anything is wrong. There is nothing wrong, it’s only how you perceive it.”

ALFRED:
Changing your perception is not trying to understand. If you try to understand the way the world is, you will drive yourself nuts and bring yourself into human-ness. We’re not saying that. Instead, we’re saying - let go, try to understand there’s a greater plan. There’s so many things that are so far beyond your understanding. Because if you let yourself get upset and you think you understand the way things are and you think you understand the injustice, notice all the understandings and aggravations that are happening because you’re dragging yourself into human-ness. Instead, as the Buddhist monk told Hans, what makes you think anything is truly wrong? For example if you see a poor person - do you have the judgment that someone is wrong? Well, how do you know if that person for example had a prior life where he was really rich and he treated poor people badly, and he decided to come back as a poor person to teach himself a lesson what its like to live as a poor person. And that person’s life no matter what, he always had enough money, had a roof over his head, but he was poor. Is there anything wrong? Or is it quite simply an experience he wished to participate in. So you have two choices when you are looking at the illusion to try to understand the way things are, or as we’re recommending as #one, stop trying to understand the illusion and just be happy. And yes, if you wish to be of service, perfectly fine. If you wish to feed the poor, clothe the poor, donate, volunteer your time, perfectly fine. But what is missing? Judgment. I have a judgment. I’m trying to understand why the world is bad, why things are wrong, that I have a judgment that things are wrong. Instead, you take the spiritual approach, as Hans was guided so long ago by the Buddhist monk, “What makes you think that anything is wrong?”

HANS:
It’s our mind that portrays us as a victim. It’s our mind that portrays us as poor. It’s our mind that portrays us as not having any hope. The mind produces all of this junk, then has the audacity to try to prove it’s true by calling up things from our history that show, “Oh here, I’m back in the same rut.” The fact, for instance, that everyone is listening to the show today, the fact of it, is a miracle in and of itself. Twenty years ago, folks, we couldn’t have done this show, it wouldn’t have been possible. Twenty years ago, nobody knew what an email was going to be. So we’ve advanced enormously, and are so blessed to have computers that can show us. Right now I’m looking at the flowers in my rose garden, and thinking how beautiful they are, and now some orchids that I have, and I’m thinking - wow, we are so lucky to be able to see these things. And therefore, I go to the place that says, “What if there is nothing wrong?”

ALFRED:
So what we’re trying to say is, it’s not that there is something wrong or something right, those are judgments, and in general spiritual principles try not to have a judgment – it’s the way you go about life. It’s... do you find your purpose by trying to fix things, or do you go about life by saying, "No - all of this is an illusion. There’s no way possible I could ever understand everything that’s going on. I choose to be happy. And oh, by the way, once I’m finally happy I decide to go out and be of service." Isn’t that just a lot more relaxing?

HANS:
I think so. You know, what we’re trying to give you is a sense of peace and hope. I’m looking at a picture of the Buddha’s face right now and how the Buddha talked about compassion, and it talked about how there is nothing wrong. It’s our perception of what’s going on in our life, and when we fully understand that there is nothing wrong, we can breathe a sigh of relief in knowing that the Spirit loves us so. We’re moving through this world to learn some lessons we chose to learn. Nobody made us come here, nobody made us be here. We’re here by our own design, and knowing this, opens us to all the wonderful possibilities for our life, but, again, you have to be able to see past the illusion of your life.

ALFRED:
And that’s where it all starts. Do you continuously allow yourself to get upset, aggravated, bringing negative energy into your being, because you think you understand the way things are and the way things should be (which is very human), or do you surrender into things that they just are? I am. It is. And start from within. These are polar opposites that we’re trying to tell you here. One way, the first way, is very aggravating and human, and the second way is very peaceful and internal, and calming. And if you view the illusion as something that is not meant to be understood, you’re supposed to work on yourself first and then once you work on yourself, then go and be of service without judgment, without expectation. To say, “Where should I serve? What do I want to experience?” Notice the lack of stress, notice the lack of negativity, notice the lack of aggravation, the lack of human-ness. That’s what we’re trying to tell you to let go of. By letting go of the illusion, the need to understand the illusion, the need to change the illusion, manipulate the the illusion, to be of service, and we’re saying, no, no you don’t. That’s not the path forward that God has put in front of us. The path is to let go of the illusion, to let go of the expectations and judgements, trying to understand the illusion, and to be peaceful and to be happy, and, sure, then go and be of service.

HANS:
Gandhi once said “Be the change you want to see.”

ALFRED:
Yes, it starts from within and if there ever was anybody who made some serious changes in the world it’s Mahatma.

HANS:
Mahatma brought down the British Empire with an intention to free his people. He never fired a shot. He never went to war.

ALFRED:
So we’re trying to tell you this stuff works.

HANS:
It really does. And the more you set yourself free from your own internal mechanism of thinking and perception, the more that comes to you.

ALFRED:
We actually agree on this one Hans.

HANS:
We do. We usually agree on most things. You usually see it my way. I couldn’t pass that up! We so enjoy doing this show. We so enjoy being with you and getting the beautiful comments we do, like after last weeks show. What you really need to hear folks is, “Yes you can, and yes I am.” When you finally hear that, “Oh, I’m not my thinking. I’m not in pain. I’m in joy!” Find a flower. Find a cloud, find a bird, find a bug, and just ask yourself - do these creatures, these living things, worry? Or do they simply show up? Everyday. For their life. Which is what you should be doing. People have a tendency to actually believe their own thinking, so what I’m trying to help you to understand is that you don’t have to believe your thinking, you have to believe the joy of who you are. Spirit already knows where you need to be. They already know what’s important for your life cycle. Tell Them what you would like the experience of, and simply know it. Be in joy. I’m going to make this up, say a family member calls and upsets you terribly, because another family member hasn’t shown up to their expectations they want a dialogue with you and say, “No.”

ALFRED:
If that sounds familiar, family issues, you probably are an old soul.

HANS:
Say to the person, “I hear you but I choose not to allow you to upset me today. This is not my problem.” If your boss chews you out at work and you have to say - yes sir, yes ma’am, turn to your internal self and say - this has nothing to do with me. I chose not to be a part of this. This is somebody else’s opinion. It’s nothing more and nothing less, and get on with your life. Don’t judge yourself by the conditions of your life, don’t judge yourself by the people in your life. There will always be people who are vexations to the soul. Always. Your job is to stay away from them. And I don’t care how close they may be to you, I don’t care who they are, there are times when you need to let go of people who simply don’t measure up to your peace.

ALFRED:
Again, we go back to the saying - who is only person, what is the only thing in the world you can control? Yourself.

HANS:
And sometimes folks, illness may come to visit. Remember, it’s come to visit the body. Give the illness to the Spirit and say, “I’m available for pure health and pure wellness.” Remember you have that power. 

Alrighty, Alfred, I think that will conclude the lesson for today.

Topic: Less is More

August 29, 2015

HANS:

Hi everybody. Good to be back with you. Today we're going to be talking about "Less is More.” You've heard my story, that way back when, when I was just a kid, my dad said to me: Always remember son, Less is More. I really couldn't figure out what he was talking about because everything in life had been geared to acquiring “more.” More education, more money, bigger house, bigger car, better health... Everything was “more and more.”

So when he said: Always remember that Less is More, it didn't sink in. I didn't fully get the impact of that for some time to come. And then one day, I went through a terrible experience. Terrible, insofar as I perceived it, as a terrible loss. And I did the human thing. I mourned it, I cried over it. It was pretty bad. And again, he said to me: Remember what I told you - Less is More.

I began to understand that our mind chatter disturbs our ease, disturbs our peace, fills our time with necessities, fills our time with pain, sorrow. And then I began to see the less we have invested in the outcome of anything, the more it comes to us. Alfred has gone through that experience. I've gone through that experience.

But when you try to explain to someone: Put this in your heart that Less is More, it comes right up against - But what if we don't make it? What if I'm not enough? What if I lose this job? What if I don't get another job? What if I never have another partner? And you have to go to battle with it. Because the mind wants to tell you More is Better and The Spirit wants to tell you Less is More.

Now you remember what I said to you any number of months ago when I said: Nothing you are ever going to acquire will you ever get to keep. Remember that? So all the stuff that you're trying so hard at filling up all your space, all your time with, in the end... it's nothing. It matters not. It matters who you are, how you loved you, how you loved others.

I have a dear friend of mine who has been battling a major illness. One that she most likely would have never survived except for her deep seated belief that she was already enough. And that less was more... she would get the healing. She had over 20 tumors in her body, all cancerous, lymphoma. They have all disappeared.

And what she did was to go for the experimental treatment, but at the same time, to bring herself to a beautiful place internally that says: I already am enough. I'm enough to stay alive. I'm enough to be healed. We go through terrible times in our lives based on our personal perception of what's happening. You've been there before Alfred.

ALFRED:

Yes. And what we're trying to do, is what we try to do every Show, is give you a different perspective, a different viewpoint, a different way of going about life. The typical human way to go about life, Western way to go about life, is I need more... I need to get more... I need to have a bigger salary... a bigger car... nicer clothes... better shoes.. climb the ladder to get a better title... a prettier wife... a bigger house... Sound familiar anybody?

That is a human way which is happiness is through acquiring. And what we're trying to tell is the spiritual path is by letting go... is by surrendering. If you're looking for happiness and you're finding that the rat race and keeping up with the Jones' isn't making you happy, then we're telling you the alternative. Which is by letting go, by giving, by surrendering. That is an alternative path to happiness.

HANS:

It's really hard for us all to turn loose of our perceptions. We have to have this to be better, we have to have that to be better. So we did a program called "You Are Enough" which you can get on my Shopping Cart at my website. And you get quite a discount because you are Members and are watching the Show. And what it says is: What if you woke up tomorrow morning and found out just who you are in this moment was enough for God?

There was nowhere you needed to go, nothing you needed to be, nothing you needed to become. You were already enough. This is an alien concept. It's an alien concept. Alfred, when did you discover that for yourself?

ALFRED:

When you told me.

HANS:

Ah. (Laughing) And there's a smart-alack in every Class.

ALFRED:

So again, one of the focuses of what we're trying to do with this Show, and these little snippits, is help you realize perspectives of ways of being that you may not have known about. To say: There is a different way to go about life. You don't have to “acquire” education, money, material things, to be happy. We're saying there is a different path to happiness through peacefulness.

HANS:

Every morning when you wake up, sit on the side of your bed for just a moment. Turn of the mind chatter about "have to's," "need to get someplace," "time"... and just say something to this effect: I am blessed today because my God loves me just the way I am. I do not need to change who I am. I am that I am and it's perfect. Try saying it every day you wake up. Watch and see the difference it makes in your life as you begin to go down your day's path.

It's important for us to realize that we walk through an illusionary world. Nothing in it is actually real. It's a culmination of other people's understandings and ideas that they have projected forward. As you think about what I've just said: We are walking through everybody else's illusion. You see? Even the restaurant that you stop to have your breakfast in was someone's illusion. Someone created that. That wasn't there before.

And because it's all illusionary, you can create your own space and your own illusion within the illusions that keep you from being effected by anything that might be negative in the illusion. Start your day, every day, by saying: Today Less is More, I'm perfect. And you will see a wonderful change in the way you perceive the world and the way you think the world perceives you. Alfred?

ALFRED:

Great. And that brings us to our second topic for today of Less is More. Less helps you have a more spiritual life.

HANS:

It absolutely does. Because as you've heard me say for years now: No two things can be in the same place at the same time. You have to let go of one in order to acquire the other. That's life. And if your head is filled with a bunch of stuff about "have to," "need to," "should've," "would've," "could've"... There's no space for Spirit to step in and say: Be peaceful, child. You already are enough. Everything is fine. 

They can't do it. Because you've so blocked the channel with all your worrying and fussing and all the things that... And I'm not saying to any of you that Alfred and I don't, on occasion, have those times... that we get upset about something. Alfred did this morning as a matter of fact when he went to the stock market.

ALFRED:

I got upset?

HANS:

Yes. (Laughing) He won't tell you that, but he does. He's perfect in every way... just look at him. So when we have expectations, we have limitations to our own soul. You hear me? When we have expectations, we have limitations to our soul. The wisest people I know oftentimes feel they're not enough. The smartest people I know oftentimes feel they're not good enough. I can tell you of Stars and people in this work that we do here that you would be utterly and absolutely astounded at if you knew that every once in awhile they too go through a little bit of the dark side.

But you know what I like about the dark? It reminds us so much why we love the light. I've always told you for years: You can't shine the dark in the light. So by blocking the negative aspect of the dark, which is your mind chatter, you allow Spirit to come in and sit in your heart, you allow Spirit to open the doors. They already know what you want. Yes, you can remind them what you would like the experience of and They will respond to that.

But They already know your path. They already know what's sitting in your heart. They already know your desires. And no, They're not spying on you. The other morning a woman wanted to know if Spirit could see everything. Do they know some of our dark secrets?

ALFRED:

Yes.

HANS:

Yes. And I don't care. That's human stuff and They're not bothered by that. They just see the little baby angel, that's it. So, Alfred?

ALFRED:

Less is More is also a path to spirituality. Pretty much every spiritual path will always say: Be peaceful. In order to be peaceful, you need to have less mind chatter, you need to be less human, you need to let go of expectations, opinions... all those type of human aspects in order to come to a peaceful place. And it is from that peaceful place that you not only will find happiness and bliss and joy, but it is from that peaceful place that Spirit can enter your life and work "with" you.

See spirituality is not just about finding yourself... your true spiritual self. Which is what we've talked about letting go of humanness, letting go of mind chatter, letting go of opinions... all those things. But the second path in spirituality is about your relationship with the Universe, your Guidance, Spirit, God, and how to work with Them. 

And the very first stage is: Can you be peaceful and quiet enough internally that you can begin to “hear” Guidance, that you can begin to work “with” Them. So it's not just you on this path. That if you can actively let go of your humanness enough to be in a calm enough place, a peaceful enough place, a quiet enough place, in order to "hear" the Guidance that's always around you.

HANS:

The optimum word right there was to "hear." Because we can't "hear" when we're busy listening to our own thoughts. 

Alright. That will conclude the lesson for today.

Topic: Online Social Life

May 24, 2015

HANS:

Hello everybody. Today's topic is "Online Social Life.” This is a question that my friend Dan has asked me quite a few times... and I've kind of avoided it and I know I shouldn't have done that. Because Spirit is ready to address anything. 

But, folks there's a huge amount of people... many of them very young people coming into this world who actually believe that life originates out of the computer screen. Now hear me through, don't get made at me... they do. And they move all of their life - hopes, desires, problems, personal satisfactions out of the computer screen.  And they're beginning to believe that's what life is.

I can remember a time when I had to pull Alfred up short because everywhere we went he brought his iPhone and every time we sat down he was taking emails and sending texts. And I had to say to him: Wait a minute. That's not life. He said to me: What do you mean? I said: No, no, no. That's what you do, that's not your life. And he wanted to argue with me... and then he began to see how dependent he had become.

Alfred, throw something in with this will me will you?

ALFRED:

Business online is a wonderful tool. It really helps you communicate with others. But, of course, what we're talking about here is spiritually speaking... Are you looking for a social life or even meaning online? Could looking for meaning or social life online lead to happiness or could it lead to depression?

HANS:

Exactly, Alfred. And that, Alfred, is one of my main concerns. We have an awful lot of lonely youngsters, teenage children, young adults, who... for whatever their situation is at home are longing for some companionship, for someone to see them, for someone to understand who they are and where they are and what their frustrations are. And they believe they can get that through the computer. But mostly, Alfred, somebody will sell something to these people.

And so one of my pet peeves is that we don't steer our children back out into society at an early age through games, or through fun classes, theater, music, all kinds of stuff that are out there for youngsters today. We don't do that. We keep babysitting them with the computer. And what you're doing is destroying the childrens ability to form natural relationships. The relationships like I had, Alfred had, my parents, his parents, all of your parents out there. 

We did not have the computer to tell us who we were and who we could become if you believe the computer. All the computer is there to do is deliver information. And much of it, when you are searching, has to do with buying something. So what I'm trying to get across to people is it may be time to look at the way we hold value in our children. Because so many kids are so very lonely. They come from, perhaps broken homes, their parents may not be able to see who they are.

And there is this quiet frustration and anger. And may I say folks - suicide. If you can believe that. Suicide from youngsters who feel so alone. They feel there's absolutely no hope. Nobody will every hear them. Nobody will ever see them. But we do have organizations that help these children. We do have groups... even Government money has been thrown into trying to help people to see there's life outside of the computer.

Now about 2 years ago, I think it was, Alfred, maybe 3 years ago, I was blessed to be able to be Keynote Speaker at Agape's Revelation... where we're going next week. But one of my joys was I got to speak to the Young People's Group. And they were just the same as any other kids. They were blown away. They finally got to see what I do and one kid said: Oh, I used to do that when I was a kid. How do you get back and do that? They're involved in programs with each other. They were learning how to communicate with each other. And my heart just soared. It was a big hit. 

And as we go down life's path I want to do more of those. Helping people to understand, helping these kids to understand that they are somebody. Not waiting to become somebody... that they already are. And I want the kids out there to know, that however you perceive God to be, it does not love anyone more than you. You are the reflection of God in human form.

Alfred, when did you come across that awareness for yourself?

ALFRED:

Really when I sold a phone and didn't have a phone for a month. (Alfred chuckling)

HANS:

Oh, I remember that. I was a little worried for you honestly. (Hans chuckling)

ALFRED:

Yes. I actually went through withdrawals. I actually forced myself, on purpose, to sell my phone early and knowing I was going to wait for a new phone to really wean myself off of it that I realized how addicted I was. And that was something I really didn't even realize is that people are searching for meaning, people are searching for something online.

And Hans, what's your opinion of "are online relationships as satisfying as real relationships?"

HANS:

Oh, absolutely not. No, no, no, no. You have to develop, Alfred, a relationship by being "with" someone. Even if its going for a coffee or the two of you sitting on the beach watching seagulls walk by. That's how you develop a relationship. You do not develop a relationship electronically. I don't care what any scientist out there tells me. You will not have the same impact on your life from a computer generated relationship as you will from a personal related person... a person who is relating to you, a person who can see you, a person who gives you actual hugs... a somebody who kisses you on the forehead and says: I see your value. I get who you are. I really like being with you.

You can't get that on a computer, Alfred. And where my fear comes is that no matter how many of these computers are going to be around, for a long time, in the end it will always boil down to the need for human companionship - always.

ALFRED:

And that's what I see as the major issue is people are trying to "replace" human contact with things like posts and tweets. 

HANS:

Yes.

ALFRED:

And what we're trying to say is "no," you have to start from having human contact.

HANS:

That's right.

ALFRED:

And if it's fine for your human friends that you have human contact with to tweet them and post them once in awhile. But a lot of the depression is that people are thinking they don't need to go out, they don't need to interact, that they're going to get the same type of meaning, the same type of fulfillment by using Facebook and Twitter. And what we're really telling you is that could lead to serious depression.

HANS:

Very much so... and to suicidal thoughts.

ALFRED:

Yes.

HANS:

That, folks, is a proven fact now.

ALFRED:

So if you're online a lot and you're feeling depressed, what we want you to consider is the place that you're looking for happiness may be leading you in a direction different from what you're seeking.

HANS:

Yes. And you know it doesn't make any difference who you perceive yourself to be. God and Spirit perceive you to be love personified. And even though you look around your life, kids, and you say: But, there's nothing here for me. It's because you're not creating anything. Maybe you come from a broken home, maybe something bad happened to you as a child and you don't trust society anymore... But Spirit loves you. Every single one of you.

And when you put yourself into a position that says: You know what? There's got to be something more than this. There's got to be something more than me sitting here 15 hours a day playing on the computer and trying to find romance... trying to find someone who sees me. It won't happen. They're all temporary. It's all a mirage. It's all an illusion. And in the end you'll be left empty handed.

Kids, get out there. There are hundreds of clubs, if not thousands, in this nation of ours who will help you if you're straight, if you're gay, if you're bi-gender, it doesn't matter. What matters is you get out and you interact with other kids and young people who are going through the exact same thing that you are. And you're going to find that you'll meet somebody and they'll say: You know what? I really feel a lot like you.

And I want you to know that in that moment when you hear someone say: I can feel you... Oh, my God there's another one, I'm not the only one. Your life changes for the rest of your life in that moment. Okay? And kids, and you adults also, this scolding from Uncle Hansie - stop that incessant putting everything you are and everything you do on the internet. It is going to come back and bite you. So bad is it that even our President has said to the kids: Don't do it.

And some of the accounts out there, that own these accounts, are saying: You know what? You're putting too much information out here. Hold something back that is called "you." Don't confuse who you are with what you do. I don't care that you put out there what you do, but I care a lot that you put out there who you are. Because you don't want anybody out there to be aware of who your little baby angel is until you want to share that with a partner.

ALFRED:

I think it's that people are really trying to replace real life with an online life which is why they're so willing to post absolutely everything. I don't need to this in real life because I can do it online...

HANS:

Right.

ALFRED:

And what we're trying to say is: No...

HANS:

No, you can't.

ALFRED:

First comes your "real" life. And do a couple of things here and there online. But if you're depressed searching for "meaning" and you're replacing physical contact with online interaction, then you really need to take a look at it. Because you're losing your social skills by being only online. You're losing physical contact by being online. You're not feeling anyone's presence. You're not feeling anyone's touch.

HANS:

That's very important. Even a hug, Alfred... for a lot of these people. No...

ALFRED:

A hug, a handshake, what's it like just to be in someone else's presence. All of these things you do not get from online. That energy... you share energy, you share emotions with other people. And the human body needs those things.

HANS:

Absolutely. We were born for love. We were born for affection. And you cannot, children, get that on a computer. You just simply can't. And I hate to say this to you but many of the online relationship people who have said: Oh, I found somebody. I would say to you that 50% of those have dissolved already.

You have to build it. It's a good way to open a door for you. Because what so many kids and young people have out there today, Alfred, is a No Vacancy sign on their forehead. Because something has burned them, something has hurt them. Maybe someone said that they weren't attractive. Maybe somebody said they'll never amount to anybody. But they need to know that the Spirit, when it  looks at you, says: Oh, my goodness you're perfect for me. And God says: You're perfect for me.

And I'm not going off on a religious path. I'm just telling you you guys need to go back to the source. The emotional source where all human beings is that we're baby angels in human form. Pure and simple. And there are organizations, there's social clubs, meeting clubs - free things - won't cost you a dime, that just go sit and listen to somebody or some music. Your chances of meeting people are very, very good if you simply shut off the No Vacancy sign.

ALFRED:

Yeah. And just make an effort. For example, "Meetup." Yes, it's online, but you schedule meeting other people in person. And there's a Meetup on just about every topic in the entire world. There are spiritual groups, there are book clubs, poetry clubs, hiking clubs, bicycling clubs...

HANS:

There's more of that in the United States than anywhere else on earth, Alfred.

ALFRED:

And whether you look on meetup.com or just search for local groups another place, the point is to get "offline" and actually have physical contact with people. Yes, it may be awkward because you have to have a little bit of social skills, but you need...

HANS:

Yeah, but you can't learn social skills without being social.

ALFRED:

That's the whole point is you're going to lose social skills by being online... But get off, get interacting with people. Then you'll find what you're looking for.

HANS:

Absolutely. And you know, Alfred, there's a large group of my clients, that are basically hard working people. Most of them are single. They go to work and they stop at the grocery store and they get home and they say: I'm too tired to go anywhere. Somewhere in that week you can find something you can do where you don't get up the next day to work and you can go and do it. I had one lady say to me: Oh, I'm terrified of driving at night. I said: Have a friend take you. Get out of the house.

ALFRED:

Take a taxi...

HANS:

Exactly.

ALFRED:

Just take a taxi. Go to a bar. You don't want to drive anyway.

HANS:

No. And don't go to a Movie because that's more, you know, closing yourself in. When Alfred says: Go to a bar. He doesn't mean to get drunk. He means: Go around. There's some Jazz Bars, there's all kinds of young organizations that play music and have non-alcoholic beverages, and they have all kinds of hiking, swimming classes... All of that stuff. It's out there. 

And for you older people who have given up... you 55, 60 year olds who have given up, you're doing that to yourself because there are plenty of people out there that would love to get a hug by you... plenty of people who would like to share their children with you and you share your children with them.

ALFRED:

Things like classes for us younger to middle-aged kids, take a class at a community college. I took a Welding Class last year.

HANS:

You had a ball.

ALFRED:

It was absolutely hilarious! Take a class. What's it going to cost you at a Community College - $50. You don't need social skills. You sit there and talk about whatever the class is. Take a Cooking Class. Okay? All of these options are to get out and meet other people.

And for those of you sick of the bar scene... Well, yeah, there's a reason you're sick of the bar scene because it's all about ego, it's all about alcohol. So that's what I mean. In a Meetup group, find something you like to do, whether it's a common interest like biking, roller blading, art, poetry...

HANS:

Well there's just so many things out there now, Alfred.

ALFRED:

Yes. Just check meetup.com and use that to get offline and interacting with other people so you can find what you're looking for.

HANS:

Folks, have you ever noticed that when you're using the computer how fast the time goes? You suddenly look up and you started at 7:30 after dinner and it's a quarter to 10? And you accomplished absolutely nothing. If you took that time to run down to your local book store... Because most of the good book stores have speakers for free, doesn't cost you a dime, you don't have to buy anything whatsoever... Just little things like that. That's what Alfred and I are talking about.

Make yourself available for you to get out to become someone... risk becoming someone other than that person who's becoming reclusive, who's becoming housebound, who's only safe going to the market and work and back. Be something better than that.

Alfred, I think that will conclude the lesson for today.
