Topic:  Communication with Spirit

July 12, 2014

Alfred:

Hello everyone and welcome to MODERN DAY MYSTICISM being broadcast on The World Puja Network. Tonight's topic - "Communication with Spirit". Without further ado, I present to you Hans Christian King.

Hans:

Good evening everyone. Good evening. Thank you for being with us this evening. Beautiful day here in the Great Smokey Mountains and the trees are coming out, the rivers and streams are full. So I think that summer is coming a little bit, I think.

For many years people have said to me: What does the Bible say about Angels? It's very clear. In the Bible...let's go to the Greek translation of the Bible for instance. It says that: An Angel is a messenger or a bearer of information. But each and everyone of us has an ability to connect with that Angel, to connect with that bearer of information - all of this habit. Unfortunately through the many years of our lives we've had a tendency to sort of paste over it, to paper over it, to paint over it, to where it is very difficult for the Spirit - those loving Angels - to get through. So "Communication with Spirit" is a matter of recognizing #1, you have it and that each person who is listening to us this evening has souls in the spirit form who assist you in your journey on a daily basis. No one is ever without Guidance. It is a matter of recognition. It is a matter of opening up and accepting that you have it. And beginning to limit the mind chatter opens the door for all the possibilities. As always I bring Alfred on-board here for a moment. Alfred how did you first recognize that you had Angels, Guides, Helpers, Friends?

Alfred:

Well there's a difference between receiving your first communication and getting an understand of who it was from. So is it my first communication or my first understanding?

Hans:

Your first understanding Alfred.

Alfred:

I would say through Automatic Writing...

Hans:

Um hm.

Alfred:

...is the first chance that I was able to get very clear communication from Guidance that specifically had to do about my life and that came through me. So it was my first direct contact with my Guidance.

Hans:

Um hmm. Did you have to go through a process of...for me it always was so I didn't go through the process... Did you have to go through a process of belief in it? How did you get past the mind chatter that may have thrown up doubts? I think that would be very important and helpful to our listening family.

Alfred:

It's a quiet determination that I talked about last week is that you have to be determined to say: Look brain I know you really want to run things, I know you've been running things for the last 30, 40 years - let's give this a shot. Let's just try it. Let's try it for a week, 2 weeks. If we don't like it, we'll go back to way things were. But maybe it will work. If it does work, hey let's at least try it and make sure. So you have to be very, very determined and resolute that if you're going to do it - doit. Or don't do it. Yoda said: Do it, but don't try.

Hans:

Do or don't do but don't try.

Alfred:

And that's it. You can't be sort of pregnant. You can't sort of be spiritual. Sure you can try to be spiritual but you asked me the thing that really was the determining factor in me being able to receive communication - it was absolute determination to put aside my mind chatter and connect to that which might be...could be.

Hans:

I remember when you used to go into your office and stay in there for hours and you had a sign that said: Don't even think of knocking. And that said to the outside world that you were actually sitting with Spirit and developing communication. Is that how it worked?

Alfred:

When I first started, yes. Basically I locked myself in a room and cut off all communication. Later I came on to realize that's how the great Masters learned self-realization, learned to receive guidance. In India they went into a cave in the Himalaya's. The Monks, whether they be Christian Monks or Buddhist Monks, went to a Monastery and isolated themselves so they weren't interfered with in order to meditate, receive guidance, go inward. So I got lucky and found the same type of path.

Hans:

You know what I have found with so many people is this...it's not so much mistrust, I think as it is "fear to believe". When we say to you: Every person is assisted by spirit form. So in other words these souls are in spirit form. Each and every one of you has Guidance, again Helpers, Friends. And I know that so many people want to believe that is true. But they find it very hard to apply. I remember one lady just looked at me and she said: Are you sure? Are you sure Hans it's true? Well Angel, I've been working with it for 56 years so for me it absolutely is true. Now I've been talking to you folks about this particular class that we're teaching...been talking about limiting the mind chatter. Now I've been talking to you a long time about that. But one of the reasons that you learn to limit the mind chatter is that by doing so the better able you are to hear Guidance. That's the key. So in other-words, less is more. And so, now people say: Well Hans, how did you turn off your mind chatter? For the work I turn it off completely. But in the beginning I had to work on it. I was the same as everybody else. Because the fact was that I was in the human form. And again, Spirit always reminds us that while we're in human form we are susceptible to human frailties, you see. And so there's a part of the naturalness of the human form that wants to "believe" that it knows best, that it is in control, it is taking caring of us. So to risk or to venture "outside" of that belief causes quite a raucous in the consciousness and I call it, of course mind chatter. But the more you learn to push the mind chatter aside, the clearer you get in "Communication with Spirit". It's that simple, you see. The more you work on the mind chatter, which is what I've been harping on you folks for so many years, the more you learn that the more you counter the mind chatter, the more you get from Spirit. Alfred was that so for you?

Alfred:

There's a lot of side benefits that we've talked about - happiness, bliss, peace but the hugest benefit you get from clearing mind chatter is that it makes a space for guidance from Spirit to enter your life. And that's where we're taking the teachings now. We're moving it up a level...taking it up a notch to say: What happens when you let go of so much?  Let go of bad habits, let go of bad thoughts - it creates a space.

Hans:

Um hmm.

Alfred:

The questions is: What do you put in there? We say: Nothing.

Hans:

That's exactly right.

Alfred:

Enjoy the peace, enjoy the bliss, be happy, do nothing, relax. And then we're taking you on the next level which is: There's now a space for Spirit's Guidance, Truth, Blessings to come into your life.

Hans:

Well what you're saying is absolutely correct. You know the gifts of the previous lessons on mind chatter is clarity Alfred. It really is that simple. But I find in my work that people want so much to believe. They try so hard to believe. But belief is very simple you see. It just "is". Now on my way down here this evening from upstairs, we have a recording studio downstairs, I thought I would go outside and as I did there was a bunny rabbit sitting on the walkway. And the little bunny froze and I froze and I just started to talk to him and I said: Well I have to go to work now. And he just looked at me and turned his head. Then he remembered his fear. But for a moment...for a moment...he just sat there and looked at me. The same when you're in human form. For a moment if you but believe, you can take those moments and stretch them and the more you stretch them the clearer you become. Something came up today that would concern or worry most people. I just looked at it and I thought: Well this is interesting. No, I choose, I choose not to go there. I choose not to go there. I choose to simply "be". Which is practicing what I teach. Because whatever the mind chatter is saying it basically isn't true. All of us from time to time have had great moments of clarity. And in that clarity we find ourself...we find our truth. Clarity allows space you see for Spirit to present guidance to you. And that's what we're trying to teach you. This is what we're harping on. All these different things that you keep thinking we sayover and over again - if you put them together you will understand why. Clarity brings you your Guidance. Have you found that so Alfred?

Alfred:

Clarity is not clarity of thought - the way we're talking about it. Clarity is...

Hans:

Lack of thought.

Alfred:

...it's lack of thought. It's lack of mind chatter. It has a lot to do with the class that we just taught which is Spring Cleaning for Happiness. It's letting go of old clutter that you don't need to have. What we're actually saying - it's not like real life if you put it in a closet and let go of it it doesn't bother you. Yeah, if it's something that you're trying to hide and stick it in your mind it will bother you...

Hans:

Yes it will.

Alfred:

So clarity is letting go of old habits, letting go of mind chatter. It's being peaceful. It just is. That's the clarity we're talking about.

Hans:

Simplicity itself. Remember always the truth and clarity are simplicity itself. What is in your way - altogether now, come on - what is in your way? One, two, three - your mind chatter. That children is what is in your way. And once you begin to understand that you begin to giggle at it. You laugh at it. Because you see some of the things that you do to deliberately, absolutely deliberately, try to scuttle your own ship! And then you call me and say: Well Hansy, why am I doing this? Because you don't believe. You're still operating out of the mind chatter. To get clear communication with Spirit - #1 you must first go inward. You know go -  inside of yourself and release perception. Now that's...Alfred there you go have fun with that one.

Alfred:

Well that's what we've been talking about for the last month is we've been talking and harping about letting go of perception, letting go of opinion, letting go of things such as trauma, letting go...just letting go of everything you possibly could and we've just been talking about it so much but we've saved the best for last. The main absolute reason and it's the core - absolute core of Hans' teachings - to let go of mind chatter, perception, opinion...these human aspects...is because you will open yourself up to an army of supporters, an army of love with infinite knowledge and infinite resources to guide your life. And the best part is they know your dharma. They know why you're there. You've asked them to guide you. But for the first time you're going to say: Okay, can you come guide me now? I'm opening space in my life for you to help.

Hans:

The key here is when Spirit sees your willingness to let go of perception through mind chatter... When They see that, when They understand: Aah, they've heard it! A smile comes over the face of your Guides, your Helpers...comes over God's face. A smile that says: Thank Heaven. Now they can do their real work. Now they can begin to move forward in love and light and find out what it is that they came to do. For many of you the internal struggle over self worth, self esteem...just learning that... Folks you hear me say it but do you ever put it to consciousness? “You already are enough.” Nothing you are going to do or create is ever going to make you better than who you already are for God. And we all have so many heartbeats. We all have so much air to breathe. That's it...and then we go home. And then we meet all up in our classes that we'll be doing on the Other Side, when we meet up, and you do your life's review and you say: Hansy, thank goodness I listened "or" Hansy, I wish I had listened. Be in the group that says: Aha, I listened. By releasing that which you perceive to be true, you create space for Spirit to present truth and miracles in your life. Again, by releasing by what you think to be true through your perception, you create space for Spirit to present truth and miracles to you. Alfred?

Alfred:

This is the real essence of the lesson tonight. You have two choices. Listen to what your mind perceives to be true. Listen to the opinions in your head. Or, listen to what your Guidance is telling you. You can't have both. Well should I say it's really difficult to have both. Okay? Why is it difficult to have both? Well imagine listening to a Professor on stage but you've got headphones on. Well the headphones are going to block what the person on the stage is trying to tell you. It's really difficult to listen to two people talking to you at the same time.

Hans:

Yes.

Alfred:

Usually for us poor humans we can only listen to one thing at a time and hear one thing at a time and concentrate on one thing at a time. So it's a choice. It's a choice whether you want to believe what your mind is telling you or to let that go and open yourself up to the unbelievable possibilities, the unbelievable love of an army of family and friends just waiting to bless you and support you...

Hans:

And open all these wonderful doors for you.

Alfred:

...and it's almost impossible to describe all of the things that can happen once you allow your Guidance and once you allow the Universal Energy into your life. You just have to live it. And then when it hits you, you just say: Oh... And that's something that you as an individual need to do. It's not something that we can tell you. We can tell you: Here's the water. That's all we can do.

Hans:

You know Alfred somebody wrote a book and I forget who it was but they said: It was there all the time.

Alfred:

It is there all the time.

Hans:

All the time.

Alfred:

And that's the issue is if you're so caught in your head you're not going to hear anybody trying to give you guidance. They're not going to whack you over the head unless it's really important or life threatening. But basically on a general, every single day basis, your Guidance, your Angels are guiding you.

Hans:

Yes.

Alfred:

And that's the essence is they are always there.

Hans:

You're never alone.

Alfred:

You are never alone. But if you're in your head, you are alone. Because you're blocking them. And again another essence of tonight's teachings is that by letting go of what you perceive to be reality, by letting that go, then all of a sudden you are available to receive what is actually reality, what is the purpose of your life.

Hans:

So in other-words, we go back to our original statement. What is in our way? Our mind chatter is in the way of our peace, in the way of our joy, in the way of our possibilities, in the way of the blessing of ourself to ourself. Mind chatter is the single most destructive element in nature as far as this man is concerned. Let yourself be free. For instance, Alfred and I are going toteach a class called "Walking Between Two Worlds". We will teach it at the Agape University in Los Angeles. And people say: Well what's that mean? It means learning how to literally walk this path with one foot in this dimension and one foot in the dimension of Spirit. Yes, you can do that. And a lady emailed me: Well how does that work? Because you believe. Here's what you believe - That you are in fact an Angel having a human experience. Your spirit, your soul, an essence was chosen to have a human experience. So you learn how to reattach to that spiritual quality of who you are and then how to garner the most out of this world. As the Christ pointed out very clearly: Learn to be in this world but not of it. Once that settles in you, once you hear that, your life changes. Yes Alfred?

Alfred:

A lot of what we're talking about is very, shall we say, pie in the sky. Okay? Miracles, Truth, Guidance...

Hans:

That's what the mind chatter like to get a hold of.

Alfred:

Yes. (Alfred changes his voice) "And they're not giving you any hard core examples, can you really believe this hogwash, what are they really talking about, they're just trying to fool you."

Hans:

Alfred that's very good, I like that. We'll get you a job as a voice over man.

Alfred:

(Laughing) Yeah, I've had some battles with my mind chatter. So let's give you a couple of examples that really happened to us. Okay? A couple of years ago I was working on Hans' book and I said: Okay Hans it's time to start looking for a publisher. Now the graduate in me would say: Okay, let's do some market research and let's find out who Hans' direct and indirect competition isand let’s find out what publishers they use and let's make a sample of the book and start sending it around to the publishers and let's find out what the normal percentages are and how much the negotiation should be and start getting a short list of potential publishers and then discussing more details with all of those... And I wasn't even a quarter of the way through that and Hans says: No. Spirit will bring us a publisher. And I said: I'm sorry? And he says: No. Don’t do any of that. When it's time They'll bring us a publisher.

Hans:

You looked very incredulous at me like I had lost my mind.

Alfred:

I was speechless and I said, as I've been teaching: Okay, let's try it. What’s he worst thing that can happen? Nothing. I'll go back to the way, the insanity that I was going to do it...

Hans:

But what happened Alfred?

Alfred:

But what happened is I printed out a copy of the book and Hans says: Let me carry it around. Well about a month later Hans was in Los Angeles doing readings and a client he had for about 20 years who happened to own his own publishing company says... What did he say Hans?

Hans:

He said: What's that sitting beside you? I said: It's a manuscript for my book. And he ran across the table and he grabbed it and said: It's mine. I will publish it.

Alfred:

And that's what happens when you allow "space". That's what happens when you "trust". Miracle - what is a miracle? A miracle is something that happens for your benefit that you didn't do.

Hans:

Um hm.

Alfred:

That's a miracle.

Hans:

Well the miracle that I think of is Alfred is actually putting yourself in a place to receive the miracle.

Alfred:

And that's your job...

Hans:

And that’s your job.

Alfred:

...to create the miracle. That's a little bit advanced, but it's along the same principle is if you want to hear Guidance - turn left, yes, no, go straight ahead, stop, yes this is for you, no that's not for you - you need to "hear" it. If you want to receive truth, if you want to receive miracles, you need to stop being so busy. Stop thinking. Stop thinking you're in control. Stop thinking you know the best way. Possibly...

Hans:

Wow, that was really a statement from you.

Alfred:

It is. Trust me. It is.

Hans:

(Laughing) Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness...

Alfred:

Grinding my teeth on that one. Because that's what they teach all of us is: You are in control of your life. You can be anything you want to be. And we're saying: Sure. Okay. How's that working for ya?

Hans and Alfred Laughing

Alfred:

Are you stressed out of your mind?

Hans:

I used to say to Alfred - How are you doing in there son? (Laughing)

Alfred:

Did you go to sleep arguing with yourself every single night...do those voices in your head keep you up at night?

Hans:

He once said to me...I was giving him a little dressing....and he says: WHERE DO YOU COME FROM? And he just couldn't get it. He was so educated and so caught up in the appearance of that education and the bank jobs and the hard work and all that and he goes: Where do you come from? And I said: From peace...from peace.

Alfred:

And what I'm telling you is you can believe that that's the best that there is or you can try to just open yourself up to things that you thought unimaginable. Here's a really simple one. Think we mentioned this once or twice...really simple. You walk into a room. All of a sudden you look around. You don't know anybody, but you walk into a room and and something tells you: Ewh, that person's kind of icky. And your brain says: Look, he's got a gold watch. He's really nicely dressed. All those people are around him. We should go over there. And your heart tells you: No. Something's wrong with that situation. Something doesn't feel right. Well if you've ever watched...what is that show...American Greed... Is that the show? It's always the people with the big gold watches and the boats and the yachts and the signed photos who are the people who are the scammers. Well guess what? Your Guidance and your higher-self just may have saved you a bunch of time. Why? Because you listened to that and not your mind chatter. That in itself is truth. That in itself saved you a lot of pain and agony. Very simple example of how your life could be better by not listening to your mind chatter.

Hans:

Thank you Mr. Alfred. The reason folks I use Alfred a lot...one of the reasons is because he's so fresh into the experience of declining the information from the mind chatter. And for many of you I know it's been a big help to have a younger person...because I've been at it a long time...and so it's just natural for me. But it wasn't natural for him. So this has been very, very important to us. And I believe Alfred that that concludes the lesson for this evening.

Topic: Being Spiritual in a Human Form

June 14, 2014

Alfred:

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

Hans:

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

Alfred:

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

Hans:

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

Alfred:

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

Hans:

I know...I know.

Alfred:

It's one of those rare times.

Hans:

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

Alfred:

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

Hans:

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

Alfred:

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

Hans:

Yes, that's very true.

Alfred:

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

Hans:

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

Alfred:

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

Hans:

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

Alfred:

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

Hans:

Yes.

Alfred:

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

Hans:

Yes, it certainly is.

Alfred:

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

Hans:

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

Alfred:

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

Hans:

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

Alfred:

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

Hans:

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

Alfred:

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

Hans:

They simply don't fit.

Alfred:

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

Hans:

Right. Well put.

Alfred:

That is a very difficult transition.

Hans:

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

Alfred:

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

Hans:

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

Alfred:

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

Hans:

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

Alfred:

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

Hans:

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