Topic: Electronic Device Addiction
September 19, 2015




HANS:
Hi Everybody. Today’s topic is “Electronic Device Addiction.” I want to talk a little bit today, if I might, a little more about gadgets. We’ve been getting an awful lot of emails from people saying - a fair warning to everyone - when you’re using, I call them, the iPhone, but any subsequent product of that nature, when you’re continuing to use those on a daily basis, you begin to fracture the electromagnetic energy that you were born with. The vibrational field of the phone literally distracts you and pulls you more into your human-ness and away from the spirit of who you are.

ALFRED:
If I may translate… You get dragged into the dark side.

HANS:
Literally. I know people who simply go from one electronic device to the next, to the next, to the next, throughout their entire day. They can’t exist without having some electronic impulse into their consciousness.

ALFRED:
When does this become a problem? It becomes a problem when you substitute social life, social interaction with electronic interaction.

HANS:
I think that’s true, but I want to go to another place. I think it becomes a problem when you have to. Or you begin to feel out of sorts, if you don’t.

ALFRED:
Yes.

HANS:
Then you have like, people who drink too much... it does become a dependency. I have a client that came to my office the other day, everybody, and I’ve known her for a very long time and she gotten hooked on her iPhone, and every five minutes she pulled her iPhone out of her purse and looked to see if she got a message. And I finally had to stop the appointment and say, “Judy, honey, you’re distracting me.” She said, “I know, but I think I heard a vibration from the phone. It could be important.” Folks, how did we live when we actually had pay phones? The other day Alfred and I were actually somewhere...

ALFRED:
...at the airport.

HANS:
At the airport, where there was a bank of pay phones on the wall and we both looked at the pay phones and he looked at me and I looked at him and we went, "Wow!"

ALFRED:
So what is the issue with that spiritually speaking, where is the lesson?

HANS:
The lesson is it’s another addiction to keep you away from who you actually are.

ALFRED:
Okay, so that’s the first lesson.

HANS:
So it’s meant to distract you. Everything on television, everything on the radio, now on your computer, now at the gas station. I went to the gas station the other day to fill up my car and it wouldn’t give me the gas until I read an ad in the little box on the screen, and I had to answer the ad "yes or no" before it would give me the gas - which I’d already paid for.

ALFRED:
You all know what we think of media, mass media in general.

HANS:
And so we’re being led, like a bunch of lemmings, into using these gadgets that record our every move. We now know when people wake up, when they go to bed, what market they shop at, what bank they go to, and I noticed there has been a little bit of rebellion Alfred, from some the younger people now who are getting rid of their iPhones and who are coming off the Internet.


ALFRED:
Well that’s good actually, because the second lesson that we want to introduce to you is being in the now... is those phones really say something that could change my life, a message, something could come to me, which is why you’re constantly checking it, constantly using the Internet to search for something, instead of being in the moment. Instead of being social, instead of interacting with the person who’s in front of you, instead of paying full attention to where you are, who you’re with and what you’re doing. Instead, you’re looking to the other to the other side of the fence to see if the grass greener, did the green grass come in my home.

HANS:
While I was away from my phone did my life change and I don’t know it? Now back in my day folks, there was something called a pay phone, and if you needed to phone home you put a dime in and you dialed your house to see if everything was okay. In my day, we gathered around the TV to watch a particular program and then everybody got to comment on the program afterwards. It sounds like I’m reacting like an old guy.

ALFRED:
No, no, it’s a huge thing, especially with families. That’s one of the things my friend Dan pointed out, is that every single time he goes out in Los Angeles and sees a family, each member of the family pulls out their phone and doesn’t talk to one another. And Hans and I have seen this, also. It’s not just that we are worried about you being in the now, losing social skills, we’re also worried about family interaction... is because parents think an iPhone or an iPad is a good babysitter, but what are they giving up? They are giving up interaction with each other, communicating with each other, sharing with each other.

HANS:
The other night we went to this little barbeque place, and there was a very nice young couple who had two little daughters, beautiful children. And the minute they sat down, before they ordered, they said, “Let’s see Grandma. Let’s see if she’s sent a message. Let’s go see where were going to go tomorrow.” And they were indoctrinating their children, both the husband and the wife, into how important the cell phone really was.
Folks what we are losing is our ability to talk to each other. It’s so important. We now don’t sit down and write a card. Alfred calls it snail mail. I call it the polite way and the proper way to send notices. We used to send letters, we used to send cards, birthday cards. Now everything is quick, simple - here pay for it on the Internet, boom off it goes, you no longer have any responsibility. I want all of you to look at that and see if maybe you’ve become guilty of some of that.

ALFRED:
So just be aware of your personal energy. If you personal energy is frantic, scattered, fractured and you continue to go down the path of looking on the Internet, looking on your phone for whatever it is, but if this frantic energy doesn’t go away, then considering where you’re looking for what you need, it’s probably the wrong place. Probably less of your cell phone would be better to calm you down, to straighten out your energy. More social interaction, family interaction, personal socialization.

HANS:
You know I even know a client who, when they go to watch a movie with their family, actually has an iPad that they play a game on at the very same time they’re supposed to be watching a movie and think nothing of it. What I’m saying to everyone is - why not try to find a wonderful calm place in your life, where you take the cell phones, the iPads, any of the electronic devices, turn them off and put them in a drawer? I can hear everyone right now saying, “Oh what if somebody calls?” Well, what if? We survived without these devices for thousands of years. Maybe it’s time to sit down with your partner, your family, your friends, just to be there. The new thing I saw recently is that what is considered to be proper etiquette now is when someone comes into your house, they have to hand you their cellphone and turn it off and it’s put in the drawer by the front door and when you leave you’re given it back. Alfred, I think that’s a wonderful idea, don’t you?

ALFRED:
Creating boundaries. I think is a good lesson to consider is - what are your boundaries for your cell phone, for your gadgets? For example, I won’t put my work email on my iPhone. I won’t. I don’t care. You have to draw some boundaries when you are visiting people. Do you put your phone off? Do you take it off? Do you focus on the person that you’re focusing on - do you have down time? Or are you succumbing to the pressures of work or the pressures of twitter.

HANS:
You know, Alfred, you and I travel, and have you noticed that the minute the plane lands, the first thing everybody does is race for their iPhone? Turn their phones on?

ALFRED:
So what we’re trying to tell you in this lesson is: look at creating boundaries. This goes back to one of our basic basic lessons that we’ve been talking about is create space for nothing.

HANS:
Yes. It’s one of the first things I taught you.

ALFRED:
That was a hard lesson. Oh, my God.

HANS:
He fought me on that one. He said, “What do you mean nothing?” He had been taught that if you had nothing in your mind you were failing.

ALFRED:
There was something you could be doing.

HANS:
Something you could be doing.

ALFRED:
What does that sound like? Human-ness!

HANS:
This morning I went outside and I sat on a chair and I looked at the sunrise, and there were all these little birds around. We had gotten some bread and I was feeding these little birds and they were all coming up on the table. I was just talking to these birds and I realized that in that moment there was no place on earth that I would rather be. I was where I wanted to be and doing exactly what I wanted to do. How many of you can say that anymore? I shut my cellphone off. I don’t want to hear it. I’m not interested in who wants to get a hold of me at that moment because that moment belongs to me and my God and those birds. So think about what you’re doing, folks, and try to free yourself up a little bit from the compulsive behavior that causes you to have to consume your mind with all this technology.

ALFRED:
And that’s the spiritual path. It’s when you are not looking, you will find what you are looking for.

HANS:
Always.

ALFRED:
When you are looking, you are actively engaging your human-ness which separates you from that which you are looking for.

HANS:
You know what’s interesting, you had a heck of a time learning that from me and now you are teaching it.

ALFRED:
And now the joke is, in order to reach higher states of consciousness you need to separate from that which separates you. That’s part of my automatic writing class, again, to separate from that which separates you. In this lesson we’re telling you to separate from your gadget in order to create space for Spirit to enter your life. To be in nature, to be with other human beings, to socialize, to have family and friends.

HANS:
Exactly. You know, Alfred, I talked to one of our client friends today and he said to me, “I don’t know what I would do without my iPhone,” and I heard Spirit say, “ And that child, is your problem.”

ALFRED:
Exactly. That is the problem, because it is an addiction. If you’re looking for a high, there’s two ways. You can get your high by being addicted to substances, items, iPhones, gadgets, alcohol, whatever it is you’re addicted to.

HANS:
Anything that distracts you.

ALFRED:
To get your high and that is a human approach. Or you can get your high by letting go and surrendering and forming your relationship with that which is always around you. You can’t form that relationship if you have an addictive behavior to something, whatever that is, not just a substance but even an electronic device.

HANS:
You know Alfred, one of my long time clients has three boys and he couldn’t get them off all the gadgets at school and all these things and the mother used to say, “Well I can’t fight them, I might as well join them.” He hauled everybody down to Costa Rica, to a town called Ramon, and they don’t have any cellphones, they don’t have internet. The kids have learned to make friends and their whole lives have changed.

ALFRED:
So if you’re a parent and you’re looking for spiritual ways to raise your kids, it’s to teach them you may find what you’re looking for by disconnecting.

HANS:
So in other words, it goes back to the old teaching - less is more. Basically.

ALFRED:
Yes.

HANS:
The less occupied your mind is with objects, the more spiritual truth and value you’ll get.

I think we’ll go ahead and 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: Gratefulness

May 2, 2015

HANS:

Hello everybody. What a beautiful day! Glad to have you all with us today. And I want to thank everybody for the wonderful emails you've been sending in about how our teachings have helped you to restructure your life to move you into new places of joy and happiness that you didn't know were available. Today's topic is "Gratefulness."

I want to give you a little story today. Many years ago... probably 8 or 9 years ago, I had done a product for Nightingale-Conant called "Stop Searching and Start Living." And after the contract has expired and all that, Alfred thought of what we might be able to do with it. And he said, you know there's a book in this. And so for almost 5 years, on and off, we worked on the book. Alfred actually worked on the book. And he took the talkings and put them into writings... which is very difficult to do folks, believe it or not. And he worked on this over and over and over again. And we hired editors who had no idea... They were spiritual people but they tended to write me out of my own book and it became very painful... and frankly, we gave up for awhile and then we started up again. 

All the time "knowing" that somewhere in time was a place for that book and the decades of teachings that I've been blessed to give out. Whenever I would lose track of it, Alfred would reinforce it. Whenever he would lose track of it, I would reinforce it to him. And so it's been a long, long journey. The reason that today we're speaking about "Gratefulness"... If you ever notice how Spirit works on your behalf... you keep looking and looking and searching and looking when it's right underneath your nose. And it's called "Faith." Faith's best friend is Trust. Trust has a "quiet knowing" that everything is as it should be.

Now to be very honest with all of you, I had reached a point with the book where I was tired of excusing it away. Why didn't anybody come forward? Why would the people that we hired that charged money and all that just take the money and do absolutely nothing? What was all of that about? And so it was hard, as time went by, to keep the hope up in that. But we did it nonetheless. As time went by, we were given an opportunity, through a friend of ours, to speak with someone who changed the direction and the course of the book. It's an editor. She could see and hear what we were attempting, and certainly what I was attempting before Alfred came on the scene, to say and to do.

And I was looking for a manual... a how to book in spirituality and mediumship. And just nobody could see it. But she could. And so for over a year, she and Alfred and myself have been working together to create the outlines and to write the chapters... rewrite all the chapters... well the chapters that we had already written anyway. And we were led to meet two people. And those two people are some of the nicest human beings I have ever met in my entire life. They told someone at a major publishing house about me and that person said: Oh, I know about Hans, I know about Hans. We'd like to publish his book. Site unseen as I said that. And today, after a meeting on Sunday last, they sent us an email agreeing to everything that we would like to see happen with the book. 

And I called for Alfred to come and read the email with us and it's a firm offer. And I thought: Everything that we had talked about... about what we would like to do with the book is in the offer. Every single thing we could have ever dreamed for or asked for is in the offer. So I'm proud to announce that Simon & Schuster will be publishing my new and first book within the next year. So to all of you I thank you for the wonderful work that you let me do with you. And I look forward to going into the future. This book... We're already looking at another book. We already have a title for that one. So I thank you all and Alfred, how do you feel about this?

ALFRED:

Well one of the reasons we're bringing this topic up under the subject of "Gratefulness" is we literally have been working on this book for 9 years... 9 years. And that has been a really long time. And that is really where Faith and Belief come in to play is to be grateful for the way things are, to be grateful for what you have, to be grateful for the unknown, to be grateful for knowing that the Other Side is working on your behalf, to be grateful by letting go of expectations, by being grateful for letting go of the way you need things to be, to be grateful of the need to know when and how something is going to unfold. That is just "is."

And that's why we're bring up this topic is because Hans and I have dedicated ourselves to being of service. It's been a very long road. We've put an enormous amount of work into it. We just continued to have Faith and Trust in the Universe that this was going to unfold as it was going to unfold, when and how it was going to. And it is incredibly difficult to be grateful for what is in front of you and to release what is coming at you.

HANS:

Yeah. And I'm not going to say for one minute that Alfred and I didn't have to practice our teachings folks. Because we did. And there were moments of disappointment... phone calls that were missed or never arrived. But when something is supposed to be, it simply happens. So what I am the most grateful for is first of all for my Guidance, for Spirit, for God. But I'm grateful for Alfred, I'm grateful for Anita, I'm grateful for John and Rikka... I'm grateful for all the people who came into my life to make this possible. I'm very grateful for Nancy and she knows why. I'm grateful that I have this chance, at my age, to do something that my father made me promise I would do and I'm happy to do that. 

But I do want, Alfred, I do want people to know that there was a little struggle every once in awhile.

ALFRED:

Yes. And that's probably the second part of why we decided to choose this topic is anyone, anyone who is in human form will find this a challenge. One of the examples when we start teaching spirituality in business is: Okay. Everybody understands the difference between your glass is half full, your glass is half empty. Well can you be grateful when life is so burdensome and difficult that you think you could be grateful when your glass is 20% full, when your glass is 10% full? Can you be grateful when your glass is 1% full? And that's when...

HANS:

That's a key thing you just said. Gratefulness all the way along. Even if it's just 1%.

ALFRED:

To realize that to transcend this lesson you really need to realize that it's not about the glass, it's not about what you have. It's about who you are and being of service and continuing to be of service. In order to transcend the lesson of your glass is half full, your glass is half empty, you have to realize it doesn't matter what's in the glass. What really matters is your "intent" to be of service and whatever it looks like really doesn't matter. That's not up to you what it looks like.

HANS:

That's nicely put. No, it isn't up to you what it looks like. It's up to you knowing what is best, that Spirit knows what is best for you and for your dharma. Alfred and I have been reminded by one of our members that this show is nearly 5 years old. Now folks, in my wildest imaginings I never would have believed I would have had this little radio show for 5 years. It just didn't come into my consciousness.

So I'm grateful for all of you who help me and remind me of who I am and what it is that I do. By putting your trust and faith in Alfred and I with your very, very personal issues, with your spiritual issues, with your spiritual growth, we are enormously grateful.

Alright Alfred where would you like to now go with this morning? Because this news was important for us to get out and I wanted to do that... let you all know what's going on. We are also leaving, by the way, tomorrow for Asheville. So we will be back there in about a week. We are driving with Bella. Luckily this time I don't have to drive myself out. Alfred's coming with me, we'll share the driving. So again for those of you along Highway 10 if you see us go by, wave. We'll wave back.

ALFRED:

Well I think that's basically it. A lot of times... or should I say a good part of the radio show, we really focus on the basics. And what we're trying to tell you here is an advanced lesson. That the basics would be your glass is half full and to be grateful your glass is half full instead of focusing on your glass is half empty. Okay? That's a very basic spiritual principle.

And what we're trying to tell you here... what we've been living through the past 9 years kicking and screaming the entire way is overcoming the lesson,  transcending the lesson, transcending the lesson that you need "anything" in order to be happy. Transcending the lesson that you need "anything" to be of service. Because it is not what you have that enables your happiness. It is not what you have that enables your ability to be of service. It is simply what is "inside" of you that determines your service, your clarity, your ability to work with the Other Side, your happiness, your bliss, your joy. 

We have mentioned many times that happiness and bliss come from the simplest of things. The things that cost no money or maybe $1 to feed bread to ducks...

HANS:

Exactly.

ALFRED:

So in this lesson that we're passing on to you is even in the most difficult times, consider transcending the lesson that anything that is happening external to you is an illusion to let go of. There's no reason to judge it, there's no reason to perceive it, there's no reason to have an expectation. Those are all "human." Simply let go, have “faith.” Be grateful for the happiness you have inside. Be grateful for the ability to have this incarnation. Be grateful that the Other Side is working on your behalf in order to transcend the lesson that anything outside of you, including how much is in your glass, really doesn't matter. It's simply a distraction.

HANS:

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

Topic: Listening to Spirit 

March 28, 2015

HANS:

Hi everyone. Today's topic is "Listening to Spirit." As you know, one of my great teachers. of course. is Yoda. And one of the things that he said to Skywalker was: Don't try. Do or don't do. But don't try. Now why did he say that? Because in the 'trying' is a human mind intention, you see? And when the human mind intention gets involved... You can set your intention but then go away from it. 

That is going to allow you to not sit there and wonder: I wonder if I'm going to get anything. I wonder if it's going to work today. I wonder what They're going to say today. All of that, that is coming out of the humanness 'need to know,' is actually, Alfred, interfering with the direct channeling abilities.

ALFRED:

Yes. And that's something that we've been discussing, especially with our Spiritual Circle Members who send in questions about how to receive guidance, is that any aspect of humanness, including simply asking questions, is interfering with your ability to hear. Because asking questions means you in your human self think you know what the question is and your inviting your humanness into the channeling session.

HANS:

Yes. And that is when you fail yourself, people. Okay? Sitting down to blank out the space that holds the mind chatter, frees up a space for Spirit to begin to enter into a light conversation with you. Now I say 'light' because they won't come in and hit you over the head with a board... normally. They did with Alfred. But that was the only way we could get through to him.

But for most of you, a quiet understanding that 'it already is so,' you see. It already is so. There's never a time you're NOT in communication with Spirit, people, never. One of the problems that I have found, Alfred, with people trying to channel is the 'trying' aspect. It literally gets in the way of the 'I Am' principle - that says 'I already am.'

ALFRED:

It's very, very true that trying is an aspect of humanness. 

HANS:

Yes.

ALFRED:

That means you're trying to be something that you're not already. And one of the easiest principles of Spirit to remember is that you already perfect.

HANS:

Yes.

ALFRED:

Everybody questions: Okay, well why do we come down if we're already perfect? But simply saying you are already perfect... If you all want to be in spiritual form, if you wish to communicate with Spirit, start from the basis that you are perfect and that you need nothing and that everything is effortless.

HANS:

That's right.

ALFRED:

So if you are channeling correctly, it should be absolutely effortless. Which means you need to tell your humanness not only to be peaceful and quiet but to absolutely do nothing besides be a simple, blank slate and effortlessly connect to the Other Side.

HANS:

Yes, absolutely... absolutely. And you know folks, when you say: I'm trying. What are you saying? You say: I'm not. And that's the message that you're sending to Spirit. I know I'm not in touch with you but I'm trying to be. Wrong message. They won't respond to that message. By having a heart that says: I am, daily, in touch with Spirit. I would like to sit down and feel that love right now. You hear the difference, Alfred? I would like to sit down and hear and feel the love. I'm not 'trying' to be in touch with Spirit.

There are certain things... for instance Circles or Seances where there is a Medium present to enact a certain vibration that allows people on the Other Side to speak to people on This Side. That's one thing. But you yourself are never out of contact with the Spirit - Never. But your mind chatter disconnects you from your peace and your space of loving partnership with Spirit by this constant trying  to understand it. What They're saying? All of this... This causes you a problem,  definitely.

ALFRED:

Especially things like: What are my Guides names?

HANS:

Yes.

ALFRED:

How are They related to me? Does that not sound like trying to understand it? And what we try to say is: There is nothing to understand. If you are trying to understand the names of your Guides, how it's going to work, what it's going to sound like, what types of information They're going to be giving you, you are inviting your humanness into the session.

HANS:

Exactly.

ALFRED:

You are putting yourself in limitation by trying to understand it.

HANS:

I didn't know who the names of my Guides were for many, many years. I called them 'Friend.' Yes, Friend I feel you. Yes, Friend I hear you. That type of thing. I didn't say: Well, I'll only believe if you give me a name. And, Alfred, that's what a lot of people do. They're waiting to get a name as if the name qualifies the reality.

ALFRED:

Exactly. They say: Okay, if I understand, if I get a signal, then it means I'm going in the right direction. No. That's a human approach. And again, if you try to approach receiving guidance and channeling the Other Side from a human approach, you are inviting limitation, you are inviting interference, you are inviting separation from the Other Side. It is by letting go of the mind chatter, letting go of thought, letting go of understanding, letting go of trying... Simply going into the most peaceful place, blank place, possible, that it's going to work.

HANS:

Yes. And it will work for all of you. Remember, the less you 'try' to channel, the more you will. The more you 'try' to channel, the less you will. Because the word 'try' gets in your way. It's the mind chatter that says I need, I'm wanting to believe... all these things. But it doesn't say I trust and believe.

When I sit down, folks, for over 35, 40 years, I went out into the world somewhere to see 8 people a day, 6 and 7 days a week. For years and years and years and years and years. I never one day ever sat down and said: I wonder if I'll be able to get anything today. I had what they call a 'knowing'. A simple knowing. And the knowing was 'it already was.' I wasn't separate of that truth because I walked in it. 

We gave a class recently, if you remember Alfred, at Agape International, on Walking in Two Worlds and showing people how it is that they can believe that they already are receiving information from the Other Side and then there's the appearance of reality on This Side. Notice how I say 'appearance.' But everyday that you get up... When you're asleep you're already on the Other Side. When you get up the energy from the Other Side doesn't say: Oh, bye. I'll see you next time. No, the energy follows with you into your daily life. And learning to access says: I don't try, I do.

ALFRED:

So on that note, Hans, let's just simply summarize. This human world is the exact opposite of what it's like to be in Spirit.

HANS:

That's correct.

ALFRED:

So if you wish to communicate with, be as Spirit, do the exact opposite which is do not try, do not understand. Okay?

HANS:

That's why Yoda said: Do or don't do. But don't try.

ALFRED:

But you are to be in a blank space. Understand that you are already perfect. That you need nothing. You do not need to understand who or why or what or how.

HANS:

No... no.

ALFRED:

It is from that place of nothingness that there is everything. It is from that place of nothingness that you separate from your limitation. It is from that place of nothingness that you invite Spirit to enter.

HANS:

And Alfred, I can hear our folks out there right now saying: Well, wait a minute. I need to know! No, you don't.  And Alfred, that's very hard... what you just gave hard. It's absolute truth but it's very hard for the human mind to accept that it is not in control.

ALFRED:

That's exactly the point.

HANS:

And to believe, Alfred, into nothingness. You used that word several times. That's spiritual truth.

ALFRED:

If you want to understand and if you want to be in control, that's what you're going to get. If you wish to talk to the Other Side, then you need to be the opposite of understanding and control.

HANS:

Yes. Absolutely the opposite.

ALFRED:

It is a spiritual truth. Hope that helps. A really complicated topic but...

HANS:

It's a tough one, Alfred.

ALFRED:

It is.

HANS:

It gets the people's minds a'runnin' quite well. But just know, always, that there's never a time, gentle people, where you are not in touch with Spirit. And I think Alfred, that will conclude the lesson for today.

Topic: Working With Spirit (More is Really Less)

January 10, 2015

Hans:

Hello everyone. Our topic today is "Working with Spirit." You know, I mentioned a little bit ago about my generation... We were not trained, neither the media or magazines or anything to be fearful, we weren't trained that we're not enough unless we have more. We were not trained in such a way that we were taught to devalue ourself by looking at people who suddenly are successful, therefore better then we are. None of this happened. And if you go to peaceful and calm countries, you will find it doesn't happen there either. So what we need to look at is: What disturbs our ease, what disturbs our peace? For many of us, it's watching television. For many of us, it's being so involved with our work that we become what we're doing. 

This is a really big issue, folks. Because so many people I know, their entire life, in one form or another, revolves around their work. And what they don't realize is that one day, whether they like it or they don't, it goes away completely. And if you haven't set a strong foundation of love for yourself, possibilities for yourself, possibilities in your life, then you are left dangling in the wind basically. So before that happens, we try to teach you is that the less you follow this constant  harangue of news is... remember news organizations are not only there to report what appears to be news, they're there to manufacture the news. All the pundit shows are nothing more than someone else's opinion. That's it. And we tend to buy into the fear. And so, the less fear, the less worrisome you are, the lighter and the higher you go. Alfred, how did that work for you?

Alfred:

Well that was a really tricky one to get into the habit of realizing by doing less you're actually doing more. And quite simply put, by being peaceful, you can more easily find the flow, that we've talked about previously, the energy that supports your life. You can find what things you're being guided "to" if you're not listening to your mind. You can actually listen to energy, you can listen to vibration, you can listen to your Guidance. Because they're on the Other Side working on your behalf. And you basically have two choices – do what you think is correct, which creates a disconnect energy from the Other Side – or be peaceful and listen to what the Other Side is doing on your behalf. So you can actually get more done by doing less.

Hans:

Yes. That's the key. And it doesn't mean, children, that you should not be responsible for what you put yourself in charge of – your family, your children, your spouse. It doesn't mean you shouldn't be responsible to your job. What it means is all of that is an add-on to your life. You are the source of everything else that you are part of. So you have to keep that source in very, very good condition. Not to worry, not to do things that disturb your ease, to go for walks, to watch sweet, fun movies. Saw a movie the other night called "Love Actually" and it was a wonderful, fun film. I recommend it to all of you. And just having an awareness that you're already enough and that nothing out there, all those ads, all that stuff that they talk about, none of that will ever make you better. And folks that includes going from making $30,000 a year to making $300,000 a year will not make you better than you already are. Because all of that is an illusion. The houses, the cars, all of this is an illusion. It's something that you've created.

There are two things here, you can create a luxury lifestyle simply because you love the sense of it. You love a beautiful car, you love a beautiful house. That's fine. Because that's what you do, that's not who you are. But if you acquire these things to be better, to show that you are someone, to say look at me I've made it, then you've lost the entire game. And you have to dig deep inside of your heart and say do I really need this. Do I need this dress? I have some dear clients who I'm very fond of who have turned their work into their everything. Totally. Everything. They are totally stressed out all the time because their handlers, their managers, don't live up to their expectations of what is needed and they are fearful, and they become angry and disillusioned. None of it is important. And you say, well Hans you just can't walk away from your job you've had for 25 years. That's very true. But you can change your expectations. Lower your expectations. Alfred, you went through that didn't you?

Alfred:

Yes, because most of the time when we have expectations, they're from a human perspective - what we think we should have in our life, what other people have told us we should have in our life, what the media tells us we should have in our life, what our neighbors have in their lives. Those expectations take us away, distract us from the real reasons that we came here. And that's a real mind-bender is to realize that, on purpose, you don't remember why you came here. However, those on the Other Side do remember why you came here, they do remember what you wanted to experience, and by trusting, having faith, believing that there is this structure in the Universe, they can guide you by listening, by getting in touch with the flow, by doing the inner work, they can guide you to that which you wished to experience. Anything else, anything human, will take you away, will separate you from that. So that's another way to understand how to work with Spirit is by letting go of the human aspect of expectations, what your humanness believes you should have in your life. You get in touch with the Other Side in order for them to guide you “to” that which you truly wish to experience for this lifetime.

Hans:

Absolutely. I know so many people, my friends, with incredible wealth. Wealth that would shock you. I don't know one of them who's happy. You always hear this and say well how can this be true? So many people believe that more is better. More is better. But it isn't. Hugging your kitty or your dog or your spouse, sitting by a lake, going for a walk in the park, this is better. And if you turn your income over to the Spirit, one way or the other they will help you to get through. Everyone has had a huge sense of loss during this recession which is now beginning to wind down. When I was asked back in 2008, 2009 how long would this last, the Spirit said until 2015. And everybody looked at me and they said oh no, that would never happen, never go that long, that's longer than the Great Depression. And I said it is. This is the Great Recession. And here we are now, we're getting ready to go into 2015, things are turning around, they have turned around, we have a good stock market, gas prices have come down... that while that's very good news for so many people, you also, children, must remember all the people now who are losing their jobs, who are suffering, the restaurants that cater to the oil rig workers, all of this was based on $80 oil. Well, we don't have that anymore. So the big companies have to adjust themselves and unfortunately who gets hurt is always it's the working person. So let our hearts go out to those people, knowing that in time it will turn around for them and God loves them so. Okay? So for everything you have, sometimes you have to give up. That's normally what happens. Alfred, what was your biggest – kind of throwing Alfred a curve ball here – what was your biggest surprise when you gave up some of the control and the dynamics of the changes you were making. What was that sense? What was that fear?

Alfred:

Well, first of all so many of us are taught that you get what you negotiate, you get what you manipulate, you get what you control, and that's a very human aspect of looking at things. It's a very stressful, low vibration way of looking at things and so many of us were very successful at being like that. Being successful in human terms. However, many of us know when you're stressed out of your mind trying to control your life, you're pretty much miserable. And that was the big revelation to me to say if I'm so successful why am I so stinking miserable and stressed out of my mind? If you look at that in a different way, if you look at it as surrendering your problems in a spiritual sense, you are no longer putting energy towards those things that are causing you problems and that was one of the most massive, life-changing revelations was the more you work on your problems, the more you put energy towards those problems, the more you give your problems away to the Other Side and let go of them, all of a sudden this spiritual sense, they disappear.

Hans:

Alright, listen, this is so critical what you just said. I can hear people saying yes, Alfred, but how do you find the courage to let go?

Alfred:

It's like everything else we tell you about. Try it. Just try it. The worst case scenario is you go back to the way that you were. Try it for a month, try it for a couple of weeks.

Hans:

Where do people go to look for the courage?

Alfred:

I think we have a couple of topics that are like $3 or $4 for Spiritual Courage, actually. Think we did that a couple of months ago.

Hans:

Yes. It's so important the way you're wording this because people give lip service sometimes to an idea that they have, or a belief system that they think they believe in, but when it comes time to actually let go, the fear comes up about what if I fail, what if it isn't true, what if what I'm practicing really isn't real? And all this fear comes up. That's why I like this book so much with Jerry Jampolsky when he said “face the fear and do it anyway.” So that's kind of what you're saying right now is face the fear and do it anyway.

Alfred:

I think it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said, “You must do the thing you think you can't do.”

Hans:

Absolutely. Always, always. Because what you will find is the power of you thinking you can't do it is the power that motivates you to the successful completion of that task.

Alfred:

So it's all about where you place your energy, where you place your focus. The reality is where you place your energy and focus is what is prevalent in your life. And by not placing energy, by surrendering those problems in your life... I cannot tell you the massive life-shift to place your attention on what is going good in your life, which is gratefulness, and letting go of those things in my life that weren't working, and within months those which weren't working disappeared. And it just shocked me. And all of a sudden the things that were working, were working really, really good.

Hans:

Yes. 

Alfred:

And what disappeared was the stress. All of a sudden the energy to work on the things that weren't working wasn't needed, the stress that weren't working wasn't needed, and all of a sudden you're in this happy, blissful state of being grateful for that which is working and your entire life changes.

Hans:

Yes, it does because you've been living in a capsule of fear.

Alfred:

Yes. So what we're telling you is change your perspective about how to go about life. Really.

Hans:

You know folks, you've heard me say, and I repeat this every once in awhile, and I'll say to you: Don't tell me what you want to do. I'm not interested in what you want to do. Now doesn't that sound cruel? But it isn't. You've used the word "want" which is a disconnect energy. But if you say: This is what I'm going to do. I'll sit there and talk to you all night long. Because that a positive energy to a positive thought. So when you talk about what I want to do, you're actually saying: I'm not certain... it'd be nice... gee I hope, and all of that is a disconnect energy. And what we want you all to understand is: Yes, you can. Anything you can put your mind to, you can do. Yes, sometimes you say: Oh my goodness, how long is it going to take me? I've been working on this forever. Sometimes we get in front of our own energy time. But I have seen the most remarkable things anyone can imagine in my career from people who started behind, who had nothing, no money, nothing. And become these incredible painters, entrepreneurs, poets, writers, you name it. Because they got "I want to" out of their way and got the "I'm going to" into its place and you all can do the same. Don't let society pull you down. Don't allow that. 

All those pretty girls you see in those magazines, all those muscular men you see in those magazines, all those big houses...all disappear. All of it disappears. The only thing that remains is your soul. And if you are blessed with, say more than some others, thank Spirit every day, try not to create problems for yourself. There are others who may try to cause you problems. It's none of your concern. You find peace and bliss. Okay? Yes, Alfred, any more on this particular subject you want to talk about?

Alfred:

No, that's about it.

Hans:

Alrighty, that will complete the lesson for today.
