Topic: Being Grateful for Thanksgiving


November 23, 2015



HANS:
Hi, everybody. Whenever we get ready to do a show, I always ask Spirit, “Where do you feel people are for this particular week? What areas do you feel we need to look at?” This week, They said, “Thankfulness.” I said, “Well, I thought we may have covered that earlier in the year,” and They said, “Yes, but people have short memories sometimes.”

You know, folks, one of the great pains in the world, one of the great sadnesses in the world is when you feel you have no control. When you feel you’re totally at the whim of somebody else, that you have no choices. Then, we begin to look back at the very smallest of things, and when we start to put the smallest of things together we get a larger picture. Being thankful for the fact that you have choices is enormous for Spirit, and enormous in your life.

We can all sit around and have a long face and moan and groan about our plight, but the truth of the matter is that over 90% of us, maybe even 92 or 93%, still have choices. There are billions and billions of people whose only choice is to survive, to eat—that’s it. We have choices. We have a system that is set up to help us with our choices. If this doesn’t work, we have a system that will put us back in school to learn a new trade. If we’re hungry, we have a system that will feed us. We have these enormous options, but sometimes I think we get used to them. Ever notice that, Alfred? We forget that we do have good choices.

ALFRED:
Taking things for granted. So what we want to do is we want to start by taking gratefulness, gratitude, up to a spiritual level. Whenever you’re down—

HANS:
And we all get that way.

ALFRED:
Looking at the details, remember, that it’s human-ness you’re trying to understand, contemplate, ask the question why this is getting involved. Spiritually speaking you look at things in more of a holistic viewpoint. So, if you’re looking at gratefulness such as—well, I met this person or that particular thing happened, or a little check entered my life—it’s fine. But there’s another way to look at gratefulness, which is a larger picture, such as, “I’m grateful for this incarnation. I’m grateful for my guidance for being there for all the things that I don’t see. I’m grateful for another day, another opportunity to have another human experience.”

We’re saying, instead of looking at the little things, look at the bigger picture to say, “Every single thing in my life, whether I believe it or not, I have choice.”

HANS:
For instance, let’s say that this year you’re going to have to be by yourself, and you hear your mind saying, “All I’m going to have is a TV dinner and the TV.” Do you know that you can take that TV dinner and go visit anywhere in the world on your television set? You can go and look at festivities, go and look at oceans, the Caribbean, you can look at great operas, ballets, all of that. You have a choice that moment to say, “What a perfect Thanksgiving because I’m with me. I’m thankful for me. I’m thankful for who I am, and next year that turkey dinner will be a buffet, huge.” Being grateful, as Alfred was saying, in the moment people. Just being grateful in the moment. 

I’m grateful every day I wake up and my feet touch the ground. I’m grateful. Yes, I have arthritis, I have colitis, and I have diabetes, and I have aches and pains. However, they never get the better of me. Because I remember where I came from and where I am today, and I am grateful for all of those lessons. I’ve been teaching Alfred this for a long time. Sometimes he gets it and sometimes he doesn’t. Being grateful for every lesson that you came across enriches your soul.

Truly it does.

ALFRED:
Can you be grateful for the difficult times in your life? There was a huge monumental shift in my life is when I became grateful for the ‘interesting’ childhood that I had.

HANS:
The ‘challenging’ childhood…

ALFRED:
The challenging childhood that I had…

HANS:
See that? You just shifted the energy.

ALFRED:
Because every old soul, if you’ve had a challenging childhood, chances are you’re an old soul. So if you’ve had a challenging childhood, regardless if you understand it, regardless of whether you’ve dealt with it, regardless if you’ve been able to let it go yet, try being grateful for that huge part of your life because it made you who you are.

HANS:
And that’s important, what Alfred’s bringing up here. These challenges, those times you fall flat on your face, all of that are the paving stones to support you. But remember the road is always uphill, not as a challenge but as a reward. You see? The challenge is always uphill. Each time you overcome your obstacles, each time you overcome your challenges, you’re a little bit above where you used to be.

ALFRED:
And that’s something to be grateful about. Now, how about our next topic? How to be grateful.

HANS:
That’s a toughie. It sounds nice. Stop listening to the mind chatter that says you’re a victim. You’re not a victim, people. You’re living a life you chose. So did I, so did Mr. Alfred, although he debates me on this subject—but we did. We chose the life we wanted to experience for the value of the lesson our soul needs to learn. So there is a contract between you and Spirit to what you wanted to learn and how They would present the lessons to you.

ALFRED:
In other words, by far the majority of challenging things in your life were by design. Not all of them. Sometimes you just bump into a mean person.

HANS:
Sometimes mean things happen to good people.

ALFRED:
By far the majority of challenging things in your life you asked for.

HANS:
I just heard someone say, “I’m one of those people that bad things happen to.” At that moment, you have a choice to say, “You know what? I didn’t deserve that. I know that happened, but I’m going to take it and rather than be a victim of it, I’m going to use it as a growth tool. I’m going to put myself forward of that. I’m not going to let that bother me anymore.”

And folks, for some of you—I’ve been getting emails asking, “Hansie, should I go home for Thanksgiving?” Don’t ask me. Ask your heart. Do you really want to go home for Thanksgiving? Or do you want to not be part of the dysfunction? And then you come back to me and say, “Well Hansie if I don’t go, then they’ll all talk about me.” Who cares?  Remember that one, Alfred?

ALFRED:
There’s a tough one. Treat your family like any other soul out there, which is truth. Everybody is exactly equal in God’s eyes. Everybody has a soul, everybody has to be incarnated, everybody asked to have lessons, everybody’s going through their own stuff. Treat every soul the same way. Treat every soul with compassion, and dealing with your family will be a little easier.

HANS:
And remember something. All those people are wondering what you’re saying behind their back. If you let your family know that you’re coming, because you really want to come, but you’re not available for gossip, or in-fighting, where somebody sits at the table, and you get flack—stay home!

Stay home. Go to a movie. Be grateful for you. You’re the greatest gift you’ve got! Be proud of who you are. Find a friend who may not be doing anything for Thanksgiving and go to the movie together, go have coffee, do something.

We’ve got ourselves organized into “we have to do this” this mentality. No, you don’t.

ALFRED:
But if you do decide to go home for Thanksgiving, practice your energy protection exercises, don’t let your vibration drop, don’t let what other people say interfere with your energy and your peace—your flow. Make sure what’s most important is how you feel, not how they feel out there. Do not get involved with the drama. If anybody is having a bad day, say “Bless you.” What’s most important is you keeping your vibration up—not fixing your family.

HANS:
And not letting your family try to fix you.

ALFRED:
That’s not your problem.

HANS:
But what you can do if you don’t want to go is send a beautiful card, call on the occasion, or the day before. Let them know that you’re part of them, but you don’t feel you can make it this year. Don’t feel obligated to have to go to Thanksgiving dinner. That’s something that’s human-ness, not who you are. If you want to go—go. If you don’t want to go—don’t go.

For some of you, you’ve been saving all year, your nickels and pennies in order to buy a plane ticket. Only to find out the airlines have raised the plane tickets and they’re going to raise them some more. So what you want to do is find something around you—if you have a kitty, if you have a dog, a goldfish, a parrot, if you have a best friend, plan on spending some time with them, and enjoy yourself. 

No matter what the weather is, what the temperature is—keep it warm in your own heart.

It’s an interesting time of year for a lot of people. I think the holiday times, Alfred, tend to call up for many people, sadness. It calls up dysfunction, what didn’t work and all that. What we’re trying to say is—it’s okay. That was then. This is now.

Wouldn’t you rather kiss your puppy on the forehead, than have to explain why you’re not the manager in your new business that you just started a year ago? Wouldn’t you rather just kiss your puppy?

And that will conclude the lesson for today, folks.

"Letting Go to Receive" - by Hans Christian King Spiritual Show Transcription

“Letting Go to Receive” - by Hans Christian King 
Spiritual Radio Show Transcription
GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE Radio Show

Topic: Letting Go to Receive
October 31, 2015


HANS:
Hi everyone. Today’s topic is “Letting Go to Receive.” I got quite a few emails from you this week about, “Hansie, I’ve identified my ‘stuck space’ what I need to let go of, and also what i don’t seem to be able to let go of. Even though I know in my heart it doesn’t serve me anymore, I’m just having a really hard time letting go.”

You’re getting fearful of letting go. It’s a big thing.

ALFRED:
It’s huge. Even from extremely educated people I have heard - well, it’s the devil I know, and what happens if the devil I don’t know is worse than the devil I know? It’s a very difficult situation to be in fear of what you don’t know. Letting go of what you do know, regardless how painful what you do know is.

HANS:
It’s that old blank page thing that I do with my clients. I say, “Here, I’ve just written your whole life would you rather have this page or,” and I turn it over to an empty page, “this page.” Seventy-five per cent of people choose the page that’s already written on. The gift you give yourself is when you say, “I’m letting this page go.”

So that’s what some of you are facing right now. Letting go of the page you identify with that doesn’t work anymore.

ALFRED:
Exactly. And one is control - what your brain understands - the complete opposite has to do with trust,
surrender, belief. Those are very intangible things. And that’s the way Spirit works. Belief and trust in the intangible.

HANS:
Yes. You’re saying to your Guides, you’re saying to Spirit, “I trust you, even though I may be fearful, I’m going to do it anyway because I know you will handle what is best for me.”

ALFRED:
And that’s what we are trying to get to in the letting go process. If you find that you are hesitant, then we want you to take a look at it quite simply. The hesitant aspect of you has to do with your human-ness. Relying on your human-ness in understanding what you do. The other aspect has to do with surrendering. Surrendering is the basis for every single spiritual teaching in the universe. Surrender. Let go of what is removing yourself from your human-ness. Unfortunately it’s a little difficult to have both. If you want to be spiritual but you want to hold onto things, that’s probably why you get stuck.

HANS:
It’s not, Alfred, that the God Force, the Spirit doesn’t love them. It’s just, when you won’t go past a place you know already is a dead zone, you give Spirit no space to help you.

ALFRED:
That’s exactly it. Spirit wants to see trust. They want to see that you are willing to work with Them - willing to be a partner with Spirit.

HANS:
Very important - be a partner with Spirit.

ALFRED:
It’s not that you say, “Well, I’ll let go of my relationship when I see another relationship is available.”

HANS:
That’s not trusting.

ALFRED:
Unfortunately, that’s not the way the universe works. It starts with trust and belief.

HANS:
When you ask Spirit for the experience like I taught you, you have to be willing to show Spirit that you’re willing to let go of what doesn’t work anymore. If you’re asking Spirit, “I would like a new relationship, but I’m going to hang on to my old one,” you’re saying to Spirit, “I don’t trust you. I don’t believe if I let go of this I’ll ever get anything else.” All of us have had friends like that. It isn’t true. When you say, “I’m going to let go of this because I know it’s no longer good for me, it’s not in my best interest.” It may have been then but it’s no longer now. You just say, “Please present me with the doors…” That’s when you really begin to move forward. It’s very difficult letting go of things we think benefit us when we know that they’re not.

ALFRED:
And that is where spiritual growth happens.

HANS:
That’s right.

ALFRED:
When you go out of your comfort zone and into a place of trusting. That is spiritual growth. And that leads us to our second topic. 

Why? Why do you need to let go? Why do you need to let go in order to get something?

HANS:
In the other room, I have a glass of iced tea. I have this iced tea and I change my mind and I only have one clean glass. I think I would like some juice instead of iced tea. What do I have to do with the iced tea? I have to pour it out. I have to rinse the glass out. Then I have to pour the juice. Such is spirituality in movement. You can’t have and get at the same time. You have to open your hand and let go of what you’re doing and then you can say what you’d like the experience of. That’s a key element. I’m willing to let go if I can see the other one first.

ALFRED:
That doesn’t leave Spirit any room to work with you. 

HANS:
No, it doesn’t.

ALFRED:
Spirit and you would be better off working from a blank slate. A painter starts with a blank canvas.

HANS:
A sculptor starts with a ball of clay.

ALFRED:
That’s a huge reason why, spiritually speaking, it’s better to let go, go into a void, a space of nothingness, a place of reflection and then wait to work with the other side in co-operation and trust. You’re creating a space where there’s nothing that’s going to be interfering if something comes in. It’s not just simply trusting that the other side will help you, it’s making sure there’s a space, a clear space without interference. Very similar to meditation. When you’re in meditation what do you want? You want to make sure there’s no interference. Whenever you’re working with the other side, you want a nice clean blank slate, as much as possible to work with the other side.

HANS:
That’s nicely put - as much as possible - sometimes it takes people some time longer. When I first met Alfred ten years ago, he was dealing with a very complicated family problem.

ALFRED:
That’s putting it mildly.

HANS:
Yes. It wrenched his soul. It wrenched his heart, to the point where he would do really stupid things. Not hurt anybody, but hurt himself. One day he said, “I don’t understand what you mean, let it go?” Let it go. It’s your perception of the matter that’s hurting you. Let it go. Don’t be involved anymore. Don’t write letters anymore. Don’t answer the phone. Let it all go. Because what has happened is that you’re caught up in the drama. The appearance of the drama. Now he teaches this. So when someone says to Alfred, “I don’t know how to let go.” He says, “Stop funding energy to it!” Which is what Spirit taught him.

ALFRED:
And energetically, cut your energetic ties to it. Stop thinking about it. Stop trying to figure it out. Stop asking why? Look at expectations you have. Expectations and judgments of family - they’re family! They’re supposed to be like this or that.

HANS:
That’s a big one.

ALFRED:
All that has to do with your human connection to it. So what we’re talking about here is with the understanding in working with the other side, there should be a clean slate. To do that you need to look at the ties that have energetic and emotional ties to whatever it is, especially family.

HANS:
So Alfred has learned that if he lets it go, it gets handled on its own. And that’s the key.

ALFRED:
That’s what happens when you surrender it, when you trust, all of a sudden you open yourself up to an army of supporters who want to help you.

HANS:
Yes.

ALFRED:
You have to give it to them. You have to release control. You have to tell them I trust you. I surrender it to you, for them to come into that space and work with you.

HANS:
I think it’s very important that people realize how much Spirit is actually there for them. They’re just waiting for you to make up your mind. Spirit won’t tell you what to do, or run your life. That’s your job. Their job is to provide the space after you ask for it.

So, from now on for everybody - Letting go is getting. Letting go is gaining. Letting go is freedom.

ALFRED:
Creating a blank space is a nice empty bucket, a nice clean glass.

HANS:
Why do people look at a blank space and think there’s something wrong? Because there’s nothing there?

ALFRED:
Because it’s the opposite of human. Human is all about getting, acquiring. We’re saying, “No. Surrendering, letting go creates a space for Spirit to come into your life. If you’re acquiring and controlling, there’s no space for Spirit to enter your life.”

HANS:
And folks, like with finances… Let’s say you get a little low in finances and that old devil fear starts to come in. If you say to yourself, “Oh, this is the harbinger.” This is the announcer of new money - because it’s true. You never stay down there. Ever. Haven’t you noticed you always recover? You always come back up. Always. It’s simply a time and a lesson in your life.

So letting go of the relationships, letting go of fear, of work issues, letting go of everything - is the beginning of your new beginning.

I think that will conclude the lesson for today.

“The Internet and Social Media”- by Hans Christian King Spiritual Radio Show Transcription

“The Internet and Social Media”- by Hans Christian King 
Spiritual Radio Show Transcription
GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE Radio Show
with Hans Christian King www.HansKing.com
and Alfred Ricci www.AlfredRicci.com
Topic: The Internet and Social Media
March 14, 2015





HANS:
Hello everybody. Our topic for today is "The Internet and Social Media." This is an interesting topic and there are sub-topics. I believe, Alfred, that's what you're going to ask me are the sub-topics. Is that right?

ALFRED:
Yes.

HANS:
But before I ask Alfred to do that, I'd like to let you know how Spirit feels about the internet - Not too good. They like the fact that we all are on this wonderful highway in the sky. But what They don't understand is why we are so willing to turn loose of all of ourself and put ourself out there on the internet that way. 

And Alfred, under that, I believe you have a couple of topics. But you may want to look folks, because what Spirit has said to me is that in time, people will start pulling back and pulling away from the Internet on their personal life. Because to put out your information and where you are and what bank you're going to and who you're having an affair with and where you are at this moment has caused an awful lot of concern for an awful lot of families. 

So, Alfred, under that particular heading, what are the some of the sub-title questions?

ALFRED:
A lot of it has to do with thinking that your behavior and interacting on social media are different. And what we're going to try to tell you is - really think about it because it's not your behavior. It's how you're interacting with other people. For example, the first topic that we'd like you to think about when interacting over the internet or via social media is: Whatever you're doing - is it kind? 

HANS:
Yes. If you're using the Internet to gossip, if you're using the Internet to talk another person down, things that you may not want to say to their face, then the internet is not for you. That's not where you want to be. If you're using the Internet to judge another person, or to share gossip you heard from someone else, the Internet is probably not for you. If you're looking to hurt someone who may have hurt you, the Internet, the social media stuff, is not for you. 

Look at what you're doing, what you're saying, and why. In order to be one with Spirit you have to hold yourself very close to your heart chakra. And when you start to give away bits and pieces of you on the internet, for whatever purpose, whatever reason...and Alfred and I will be going into those areas in just a moment...but it doesn't matter. Then you are, what we would say: Then you become a tad bit scatty. Your energy becomes scattered. And once that happens, you get caught in a spiral that you send this out, and somebody sends something back and someone says: Oh, they shared that... 

And pretty soon what you said, is all over the world, without your permission. That dilutes your spiritual base. It's alright to surf the internet, it's alright to watch cooking shows, it's alright to join Audubon, it's alright to use Discovery and all. That's wonderful. That is educational, sharing. But when you use the Internet like some of these reality shows that are on television, to listen to gossip, to spread misinformation so that someone would think that you know more, then you're again diluting your spiritual base. And you want to be very careful of that.

Remember one of the great wisdom's from The Christ was: Learn to be in the world but not of it. Make certain that you're not spending so much time on social media that you have lost who you actually are and in some cases wanting permission from others that you don't even know.

ALFRED:
And along those lines, we want to always be considerate. Whether we're in the human world or Internet world, of whether you're dealing with ego. So when I'm posting something, am I boasting? Am I in ego? Am I in image? How's that one Hans?

HANS:
Very true. It's very true. It's very, very true. Are you being kind? When you're sending an email to someone, are you sending it with affection, are you sending it because you feel this person needs to know something that you saw on the television or you heard that might affect them in some fashion, or are you gossiping?

ALFRED:
Or are you talking about yourself?

HANS:
Yes.

ALFRED:
How wonderful you are...

HANS:
You become verbose and... Exactly, Alfred. Are you just trying to show people that you're very smart and you know a lot? Where are you coming from when you use social media?

ALFRED:
Yes. What we're trying to say is, in these things, don't behave differently just because you think you're just typing it and posting a picture. Most spiritual people know that ego is really not the best thing. If you're boasting about yourself, if your boasting about your pot, things that you've accomplished, if your posting pictures of yourself... Really, are you being spiritual or are you promoting ego?

HANS:
And I want to say something to all of you. What is with these selfies? How ego based is everybody getting? Posting pictures of yourself here, pictures of yourself there, pictures of yourself with your girlfriends at a shopping mall... I've seen people recently, when Alfred and I were in Mexico, we saw a young man walking around with one of those cameras on a pole taking pictures of them walking, taking pictures of them talking with people, some of them he didn't even know. And you have to ask yourself: What have we done that makes our people so insecure that they have to get approval from people they don't even know in order to feel better about themselves? Okay? We need to look at 'why' we need to do this.

ALFRED:
And along those lines is it that you're trying to seek approval?

HANS:
Absolutely.

ALFRED:
Are you trying to feel better because of what you're posting? Are you seeking someone's approval? How's that one Hans?

HANS:
It's the truth. This is a big one. Why do you feel you need to have the approval of people you don't even know...that you don't love? Why are you trying to impress other people? Why? So someone can say something about you that you don't believe in yourself? That's the moment that you stop and say: Wait a minute. Hold on. I'm better than this. 

People poke fun at me and laugh at me because I still have a flip phone. And one of the reasons I have a flip phone is I'm not interested in all that other stuff. I'm not interested in things that invade my privacy; not interested in it. And now Alfred, you can expand on this, now I just saw on CNN that every time you buy a cellphone there is a paging thing in there that anybody can trace where you are.

ALFRED:
Yes, yes.

HANS:
Is this what you really want in your life? That everybody knows where you are at all times? Where is your self-ego? Where is your self-esteem people? You can see I'm on a soap-box about this. But it's driving Spirit crazy that we are losing our individuality. Our spiritual individuality is being sold to the Internet. Just like those coupon things that you clip on your key chain when you go to the market and they say: Here you get this discount. That is a scam people. That is meant to track where you bank, it's meant to track what you buy, where you get your mail, and how to advertise to you.

Have we reached a point where we are so insecure that we feel better being lemmings than individuals? That is not spiritual. That is not a spiritual nature. You see? That's not a spiritual nature. Yes, Alfred? I think everyone's going to be probably crabby with me at the end of the show.

ALFRED:
Well, these are questions we really want you to contemplate. Not just as a spiritual being when you're interacting with humans but when you're out surfing, do you use the internet... Here's a good one - are you looking for something better 'out there?'

HANS:
Oh, yes.

ALFRED:
How's that one Hans?

HANS:
Well it's the truth, isn't it. We're looking for something beyond our experience,  because we've put ourself in limitation. Today Alfred and I were out running some errands and I watched him and as we went around the corner... You know we live in a place where the mountain literally touches the ground and you can walk up and touch the base of the mountain. It just comes out of the rocks straight up. A huge mountain, Mount San Jacinto. And he went: Wow! And he didn't see that I saw that. And I knew what he was saying: Can you believe that? Look at that mountain and I can go up and put my hand on it. There's something to look for.

We have a little baby bunny here in the back that lives around the rose garden.  And he comes out and he just looks all around and he uses the thorns in the roses in order to safeguard himself against coyotes and owls. And just wondering at God's handiwork. Wondering at the blessing of who you are. Opening yourself up to all the possibilities of you. Or are you on the Internet?

Folks, I am on a soap-box but this is what I saw the other day. So Alfred and I were out with some people and the people next to us, a family of five, count them...from the second they sat down they had their iPhone things out...I'm not up on the iPhones but Alfred, what are those called? Um, android types of things... And they sat down and the waiter had to come three times to ask them what they wanted, because they wouldn't get off long enough to tell the waiter what they wanted. Then they complained that the food hadn't been delivered. But they forgot that they hadn't ordered. And then during the meal they all used their devices through the entire meal and never spoke to each other one single time, stood back up, walked out and into the parking lot still on the phones. Wow...

ALFRED:
That's actually a really good point. They're looking for something better out on the Internet. When they realize the most important thing in terms of a loving, caring relationship is sitting across the table from them...

HANS:
Exactly.

ALFRED:
So the whole point of this one is if you're out there looking for something better, what are you not doing? You're not paying attention to what is really important 'to' you.

HANS:
Which actually, Alfred, is you.

ALFRED:
Yes, well you and a relationship sitting down...

HANS:
Yes. And if you're sitting down with a friend, a buddy, a lover, whoever you're with at the moment, you're sitting down to be with them. Then for the love of Heaven, turn those devices off or leave them in the car. But that has now, Alfred, become 'fearful' for people to do. I see people run back into restaurants and say: Oh, wait a minute I forgot my cellphone. They really mean their Android or iPhone. That is how connected we are now to getting approval. Which is, Alfred, what you started out with in the first place. Seeking approval.

ALFRED:
Does anybody love me? Did I receive an email? Did I receive...

HANS:
Alfred has a joke that he uses every morning, kids. And after breakfast he'll say: I wonder if anybody still loves me. And he'll turn his phone on to see. (Laughing) But it's getting serious people. People are dying because of comments about them on the internet. Kids are killing themselves. This is serious. Gossip and innuendo... It's time to pull back in.

Use your device. Of course you can use your device, of course you can send your friend an email, of course you can look something up. Absolutely. But I'm on my way to the bank and here's where I'm going and I'm going to take out $40.00... What are you - insane? Are you insane? What is the matter folks? Stop that. Pull yourself back into yourself. Find something that's meaningful and rewarding in your life.

ALFRED:
And that's a really good lead in to our last topic for today - is this a moment to protect? In other words maybe you shouldn't share what you're doing in this moment.

HANS:
Exactly! Exactly, Alfred. I have seen and heard some of the most outrageous things that people share. Senators emailing pictures of their private parts. Excuse me. What have we come to? It's time to find out what privacy looks like again. Because, I'm pointing out to you kids once again, we are losing our spiritual individuality and identity because of those devices.

You can be as spiritual as you want in your head. But if you're using those devices to dilute the essence of who you are, you are not the spiritual person you are thinking you are. And I'm sorry if I sounded crabby. But I'm not. I'm just concerned. I'm concerned for everybody who cannot get off their iPhones. That worries me.

ALFRED:
Yes, and what I tried to bring to the conversation is the difference between your behavior, the way you watch it when you're interacting with the human world spiritually, really shouldn't be that different when you're interacting out on the Internet and in social media. Don't view it as a chance to do something different, view it as: Am I being consistent in who I am regardless of who or how I'm interacting.

HANS:
Exactly. I wanted to thank my friend Dan for asking us to do this. I think we've done one other of these as well. And Dan it's very important to me that you continue to monitor this for me. But it's a very good topic folks. Learn who you are, hold it close to you. Don't cheapen your soul. Okay?

And folks, I want everybody to remember, once again, that God does not love anyone more in this world than you. Take care and we will see you next week. Bye, bye.

Topic: Best of 2012 and 2013 – Soul Mate Relationships - Revealed!
February 14, 2015




Part One: "Soul Mate Relationships." 

Hans:
Good evening everyone. It is so nice to be back with you this evening. We've picked a topic that I believe presses more buttons in our life than any other single topic. And the topic of course is "Soul Mate Relationships." Why are relationships so complex? During the next 3 to 4 weeks we're going to be dealing with various kinds of relationships because we have soul mate relationships in all kinds of forms and as I said last week, even some animals become soul mates for us. So this is our opportunity to help you to understand that soul mate relationships are very complex and yet quite understandable if you understand the principles and why they  occur. So if someone were to say to me: How and why Spirit guides us to soul mates? It's because it's a pre-recorded condition. In other words, there is a contract in place between you and others. 

You've often heard me say that before we reincarnate we have a sit-down and look at our last life, sometimes both lives, previous lives, to get an understanding of what we were trying to accomplish, what goals were we working on, what relationships, what soul mate relationships were guiding us and helping us then. So that we get a clear understanding of what we would like to work on as we travel back to this particular dimension in this planet.

Now, we've also discussed how we sit at that big table, after looking at the past lives, and we sort of say to each other: Okay, well I think I'm going to go back because there's some stuff I want to work on. Here's what I think I want to work on. And so a list is made of the various things you wish to work on. And then people that you have worked with before who are also at the table, they tend to come forward and they say: Alright, well Alfred I'm going to help you with this because you helped me with that before. What is it you would like me to challenge you with? And so a design, an outline, is etched, and as it's etched more people come in to offer whatever help they can. Because there's things they want to do to enhance their higher good at the same time they're helping you. In other words they become mirrors. You see?

So the Spirit, once it has the outline, the Force if you will...once it has the outline of what this particular incarnation is going to be like for you, or for Alfred, they begin to put into place a series of events, introductory events. Events that bring people to us we never would have dreamed would ever come into our life. I've heard people say to me: It takes a long time to fall in love. That is absolutely untrue. I have out there today many, many couples, all different kinds, who when they met a certain person, it was settled. They knew, the person knew, that was it, and the struggle for the development of the relationship was over. Now the incredible complexity of the relationship begins. So Spirit knows what our Master Plan is. Spirit is working with us, with our permission, we ask for the help, we are being involved with the help and slowly a pattern is set. In the beginning sometimes Spirit simply runs someone under our nose who simply says a word or two or illustrates something or does something that catches our attention. You see? 

I once related to all of you that I was once involved in a very large lawsuit in San Francisco. None of which had anything to do with me whatsoever. And as a young man I was really quite fussing and fretting and I was taking a cable car ride over Knob Hill down to California Street and a quite elderly woman with a beautiful cane, pillbox hat, beautifully dressed, crossed the street. And as I saw her crossing the street, I got down off the trolley car to help, she was probably 85, 88. And she got up and I gave her my seat and she said: Well thank you young man. And then as we got to California Street, she grabbed my hand. And she squeezed very, very hard and she said: Don't worry son. It'll be over soon and everything will be alright. God bless you. And she got off the trolley car and walked away. And I thought: How very strange. And then Spirit said to me: No, she's letting you know everything will be alright. That was all she ever was supposed to do for you.

So you see, people come into our life sometimes, the Spirit guides those people  at certain pivotal times, they guide us and show us... Okay, now we have free will in place but here is someone who will help you with your free will. You know we choose who we wish to interact with before we were born for many reasons, including lessons. Oh lessons, of course, we all know about lessons. So knowing about lessons, which are on-going, omnipresent in our life, sometimes what we don't realize is that the lessons that we're going through that look so painful are really for our highest good. And sometimes and old friend, an old soul mate friend delivers the lesson. And sometimes the lesson can be very, very painful. But we need to bless that person when they depart. Because without that pain... 

I said to you recently that the pain of my mother was that we never spoke for thirty some years. And when she died, I remember saying to you folks, Spirit said to me: You should get on your knees and kiss her feet for the lessons that she taught you because you would not be the person you are today without her behavior, which is what you asked for. And you know no matter how many times I've taught that lesson, no matter how many times I wanted to pretend I knew all that, when it comes to me it's quite a different matter sometimes you see. So I was teaching and my mother was mirroring all the disconnect, all the disconnection, all the abandonment, all of those issues, I asked her to do. God love her. Because if she hadn't been who she is I would not be who I am today. I would not be able to empathize with people who say: My parents didn't love me or my dad didn't know me or my mother didn't love me. And I can get in there and work with them now, Guidance helps me as we work with them to help them to understand oh what a blessing they are to you.

The last couple of shows I've been trying to show all of you that that pain that is caused by the appearance of abandonment, selfishness, by those that we hold dear or are supposed to hold dear, our parents, siblings, are actually nothing more than lessons we chose to learn. Therefore we cannot blame them and I know many of you say: I just can't buy into that. It's too painful to believe I would have asked for this. But you did. You did. You asked for these lessons, people to act as mirrors. So before you were born, for many reasons including lessons, you put this in place.

You know folks, soul mates are chosen according to our past incarnations, you know like our karma and the law of free will. In other words, we made decisions during our previous couple of lives and in those lives we said we wanted to complete this goal or that goal, all to the betterment of our soul. We wanted this experience, we wanted that experience, the experience of lack of money, the experience of lack of ego, self-ego, the appearance of being someone that we would not even choose today to be a friend to. We chose those lessons to toughen our soul, to rise above, to rise above. And a lot of times we don't get there in each lifetime. And this causes a reaction when we get home because when we see this we...oh lord, look at the karma we put in place, oh I didn't mean to do that, I should have exercised better free will. So we look at this and it starts to fold us into a better awareness of what we would like to see and accomplish in the next lifetime. 

So soul mates are chosen according to our past reincarnations. You see? Attached to that are some karmic obligations that we need to look at that we put in place and maybe we're not too happy with and we'd like to address some of those. But always the law of free will allows us to make that decision but you don't have to. The problem is that when you get back home again, you're sort of saying oh darn, I had that opportunity to fix that and I chose not to do it. I listened to my mind chatter. I listened to that silly mind chatter that caused me so much problems this time and has caused me so much problems in the past. I've got to get out of that place. 

Many soul mates may have agreed to be a mirror. This is important. Really important. A soul mate may have agreed to be a mirror for you. So you may not like them. You may get angry with your parents, you may get angry with your siblings, you may get angry with family and relatives. But remember something that you cannot deny kids, you chose them to do what they're doing. How then can you be angry with them? You may not choose to like their behavior but their behavior and who they are are two different things entirely.

I had someone say to me once... I went to an event and there was a Medium taking the podium and he looked down and me and said: You know sir, your mother loves you more than you know. And I said: I don't think so. And he said: I reaffirm. Your mother loves you more than you know. And so what happened with that information is that it caused me to take a look at how I was holding that relationship. And the way I was holding it was of no benefit to her, absolutely no benefit to me, and accomplished and proved absolutely nothing except my humanness was hurt. 

So these soul mates that we'll be talking about over the next 3 weeks, these soul mates are terribly, terribly important to the larger picture of who we are. So many of you struggle with this concept. But we know that everything is perfect in the universe, it needs no help. So if everything is perfect in the universe how can anything be really wrong? You've heard me say at the end of each show "You know God doesn't love anyone more in this world than you". I cannot tell you how many emails I've had from people saying: I love that statement. I wish it applied to me. I wish I could believe that that's true. Now, how did they get to that reasoning? Right away you see there's a lesson here. What is the lesson? You are already enough. We've gone over this many times. By letting go of the preconceived judgment and allowing whatever soul mate or person to develop you without them even knowing it, you open yourself up to all kinds of possibilities.

What if...you've heard me say this for a long time now. What if you you found out that absolutely nothing was wrong? That there was lessons you were supposed to learn... There are always children, exceptions to every rule. You would never set up to be molested for instance. You would never set up to be murdered or to murder somebody. These are human exceptions that people who don't believe in Spirit and the law of life. Sometimes these are people who have very, very poor relationships with themselves, very angry with themselves. Sometimes they are literally mentally unbalanced, chemically imbalanced, rage imbalanced. But most of us will never experience any of that. Relationships as we said, with soul mates, are arranged when you request to be incarnated. So you said you wanted to be here. You said it. Now I'm going to ask Alfred if he would step in here for me and kind of give you folks his idea of sort of what I'm talking about. I hate to do this to him, I just...he's busy typing, doing all the stuff...

Alfred:
It's all right Hans. I'm right here.

Hans:
Ah well good.

Alfred:
Excellent. I was trying to come up with an example of a soul mate relationship that changed my life. And I came to a really funny example. For the longest time in my life, I think until I was about 35, I couldn't eat bananas. Just bananas drove me absolutely crazy. I couldn't stand the smell of bananas and...

Hans:
That's strange now. (laughing)

Alfred:
Yes. And all of a sudden I had a friend who says: What's wrong with you? My friend says: Why can't you eat bananas? I said: I don't know. The smell just drives me crazy. And so she just kept pressuring me, and pressuring me, here try this banana, try this banana, take a little bit, try this little banana, just try this little bit. After about an entire year I finally got to eat a bite of banana. Well to make a long story short, about 2 or 3 years later bananas are one of my favorite things. What's the point here? You can think of this as she was a soul mate that was there to help me get over an issue. Well what was the issue? Well the issue was I went and did a past life regression and back in the days where they had sails, not motors, I was sailing across from Europe to America, and by the end of the voyage what's the last thing that is left on the boat is rotten bananas. And guess what? It was the smell that I remember.

Hans:
Wow.

Alfred:
So as I was starving, the only thing that was left to eat on the boat was bananas. So this particular soul mate helped me get over that issue. It's an extremely simple lesson that people appear into your life and push your buttons and stick a banana into your side until you get over it and realize: Oh, I can let that go. I can get on with my life now.

Hans:
That old adage of "Get Over Yourself and Get Our of Your Way." Great lesson.

Alfred:
Yes. And you don't realize it but for example parents present you with lessons to help you get over self-esteem issues. Friends that out of nowhere that reject you and you really don't have any clue why. People push your buttons. Ready? By your request. And, you ready? For your own good. And that's the craziness about soul mate relationship. The only other thing I have to say about this is the worse the lesson, the more you should thank the person who is presenting it to you.

Hans:
Yes. Because the harder the lesson...

Alfred:
The harder the lesson. Because why? Because you're on the Other Side and you're saying: Okay, I've got a real tough one. Okay, I really need you to present this to me. I don't want to be that much of a jerk. I need you to be that much of a jerk. But you know what a pain in the neck it is for me to be that much of a jerk? I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to do this, okay? So this person agrees to be, for lack of a better word, a complete royal jerk and push your buttons for what may seem like years, and you may not even get it in this lifetime, and then you're completely mad at this person for doing what you asked them to do. That is the definition of a soul mate. Talk about a mind-bender. So the people who present you with the hardest lessons are actually your truest friends. Granted they don't know it at the time. 

But that's just like your parents, my parents, Hans' parents, and anybody who's a soul mate probably has parents that you absolutely don't understand, they don't know who you are, and you're going to go back to the Other Side and say: Wow, that was really tough. Thank you for presenting that to me. How's that for changing your perception?

Hans:
Because it's true. It's absolutely true. And sometimes people, for instance Alfred, who we've been... Let's say we have a boss and the person's been our boss for 15, 20 years. And one day they tell you they have to let you go. But they don't really say why. They just say: Well, we're downsizing or this or that. And we suddenly find ourself disliking this person. How dare this person do this? How could they do this to us? But we never stop to think these words: Perhaps it's time to go from this job. Perhaps this job is keeping you from moving forward. And this individual agreed to do this to you, for you. You see? But that's not how it feels at the moment does it? It feels like woe is me, look what's happened to me. So thank you, Alfred.

Alfred:
You're welcome Hans.

Hans:
Spirit delivers, with the loving guidance of the universe, according to your request. So they look at all the situations. They line up the people, if you will throughout the 70 to 80 years that we're here. They line up the various people who agreed to hold up a sign post or hit us over the head with it to get our attention. And as you now, when you get to be a little later on in life you kind of look back and you see the synchronicity of it all and you go: Wow, that's amazing. So I lost this job, I thought I had to have. But I had no idea that this was going to open up over here. Or I had to get a divorce but I had no idea that because I got a divorce I can marry this person over here. So I go back always to the preface: What if you found out nothing was actually wrong? Only sometimes, mind chattering a little. Learning to cope. For those of you who have been down that long, dark road of this last recession and you found that you've lost your job, you may have lost your home, you may have lost your relationship and your car... The pain of it, a lot of it comes from not being able to maintain the situation that actually was no longer maintainable. 

As the country shifted out of the years of gluttony and more towards the world of common sense, we all down-sized. Alfred and I did. A lot of people had to down-size. But out of the down-sizing came all kinds of wonderful opportunities and this is where various soul mates have come into play. Alfred and I can look back and say to you honestly well this person came out of nowhere, that person came out of nowhere, this thing happened that I never would have believed could have happened, not even in our wildest consciousness would we believe that could have happened. But it did. 

So soul mates play a tremendous role in our life. Some come in but for a word or two, as the lady on the trolley car. Some come in for a week, maybe one conversation. You ever have a conversation with somebody that just took up and you just heard a talking but you felt so much better because you felt like they heard you? They can hear what you were trying to say. They can see you. A soul mate passing by to reinforce you. So Spirit delivers with the loving guidance of the universe according to each and every one of your requests. When you go back and you get your facts sheet out and you start to check off - well did I do this?  Well that looks good, I like that one. I did that one, oop I didn't like that one, I shouldn't have have... All those people over 70, 80 years one day that all helped you will be present for you to say thank you to. Even the ones that you believe caused you terrible pain, they were supposed to. 

You've often heard Spirit and I say to you: “Don't hold on to anything because nothing lasts.” Everything in your life is passing by. Everything. Over the last 3 years I've been literally forced to look at all the stuff that I had and I have to tell you I had a lot of stuff. It was years and years and years of collecting things, things that people left to me. And now I find myself just wanting the things that mean the most to me around. And I realize that I was trying to hang on to a bunch of other family members' dreams, hopes. And I couldn't carry their hopes and their dreams but they taught me so much. Each and every person was there for me. And I look back, and even in the roughest of times, I realize that those soul mate people or those old soul people, you see, those soul people who agreed to help me with lessons are actually nothing more than angels helping me to get through.

__________________________________________

Part Two: "Soul Mate Family, Friends, and Animals."

Hans:
Good evening everyone. Welcome, welcome, welcome. We have a tendency to forget the value of the people who are presented to us for our lessons. Those come in many different kinds. They come in parents, lovers as friends, lovers as lovers. Even our little animal friends have agreed to come forward to help us to learn to love and to give unconditional love. 

Most of the time we reincarnate with specific parents and soul mate friends because we find it easier to work with people that we've actually worked with and have known before. So what happens is that when we have that little round-table meeting that you've heard me discuss with you and someone who was your mother last time and you were the child says: Well, you know you didn't get the grasp of what I was doing, how about we reverse the roles? And you'll become the opposite of the last role that we had. And you say: Well why? And your Guides and Helpers say: Because you're looking at it from only one point of view. You see?

Let's take the lesson for all old souls - the lesson of self-esteem, for instance. We are presented with the lesson of self-esteem because as an old soul it is sort of in the end, it's sort of the last of the things that we have chosen to learn. Not an easy subject, my friends, not an easy subject. So we will have set in place a series of events that have a debilitating impact on the humanness of us. A parent may not ever say I love you. A parent may not be there. Just not show up or be working or gone all the time. A parent may not be able to see who you are to recognize the wonder of who you are and you're always searching, searching, searching, trying to get the parent to acknowledge the importance of you. 

Why would we do that? Why would we put ourself in a situation where we couldn't be seen by the parents? We do so because our soul has chosen to rise above the appearance of humanness to be the essence of God in the form you are in at the moment in your evolutionary process. That just who you are...you've heard me say this forever now...just who you are is enough. Despite what a parent might say, or a boss might say, or anybody might say. So your job is to rise above that. And as much as you may love your parents, the fact that they can't get who you are is not your problem, it's their problem.

Now you've heard me say this many, many times and I know it always sounds like it's insulting, but it isn't. It is a truism: “What someone thinks of you is none of your concern. What you think of what they think of you should be very much your concern.” I have asked Alfred in the past to expound upon his parents, I have told all of you what my situation was about a father who left when I was 4 or 5 years old and a mother who loved me, there was no doubt about that, had no idea who I was, absolutely no idea who I was. But that doesn't speak to the character of the person, it speaks to the pain of the child. The child doesn't know that its set this lesson in place, and actually the parents don't know. 

So one of the things that I say to parents these days: Take the time to find out who your child is, not who you want the child to be. But who the child actually is. Because the child is the embodiment of the Godforce in human form. And attached to that form are a series of lessons that that child has chosen to learn. So it doesn't behoove you to be guilty because you might have said something, or might have done something. What you need to do to help the child advance is to recognize the child. Help the child become better than their current perception.

So we reincarnate with soul mate friends, soul mate lovers, soul mate animals,  based on what our soul has chosen to learn. You agree in advance that your parents and friends would present karmic lessons to you. They don't know that, and you don't know that. But that's how it works. You can say to me: Oh Hansie, I would never have done that. I would never, ever have set that in motion. But you don't know that. You think you know that, but you don't. You don't know exactly what your lessons are. But if you watch yourself and you keep repeating the same lesson over and over and over...  Like how we choose our partners. If you find you're fishing in the same pond all the time, trying to get a different result, then you have a serious problem. 

If you are parents, realize you and your children have karma with each other.  Here we go again: You're not here by accident, you're in fact here by design. By design. So both parents and children have the same vested karmic interest in the lessons we have chosen to learn with each other. You see? 

Now I know that my father loves me. And how do I know that? I know my father loves me because he came back to a very fine Medium one day in Asheville in North Carolina, and he said to me: Son, remember that your mother only has one side of the issue. There are in fact, two sides to the issue. And at that moment, I realized that my mother in her anger, her rage about my father, had started manufacturing things out of her subconscious mind that actually weren't true. So that helped to free me up to understand that my mother had a terrific lesson, I mean really a hard lesson. Because she set that in motion and my father had agreed to do what he did, and I had agreed with my father that he would not show up in my life, and I had agreed that my mother would cause all this trouble.  All that, you see, all that minutia made me who I am today.

So what you have to do is you have to look at where you came from, and if you're very clever, which you all are, you can watch the synchronicity as you move through your life. As a child you may have agreed to present your parents with lessons. I'm quite certain that I did. Both my parents. You did also. So as a child you have agreed to present your parents with lessons. And your parents have agreed to present you with lessons. As a parent, please look for ways that you might help your children along their path.

Alfred, I would like to bring you in here, and I'm going to just sit here, and I want you to tell the people how you navigated through that karmic situation with your parents.

Alfred:
Well that's a good one, Hans. That definitely is a, oh I like to say a mind bender, when you start looking at karmic relationships from a human perspective.  Because it's really difficult for the human mind to comprehend that children, for example, have a karmic obligation to present lessons to their parents. And that is really difficult to think: Okay, I can get the fact that as a child my parents have presented lessons to me. But at what point do I, as a child, turn around and present lessons back to my parents, and what lessons are those things? 

All of this, of course, is preordained, already agreed upon, and of course we have the wonderful part of nobody remembers anything that they agreed to. But it is part of the enlightenment process. It does become clearer the more spiritual you become. And it does help when you follow along your own path to really just go with the flow, not try to blame anyone, just simply say: I'm following a spiritual path and if my parents want to follow that path and they want to learn from it, great, if they don't want to learn from it, great. That's what I really got out of it.

Hans:
Was that difficult for you?

Alfred:
It was really difficult because you have to follow the lessons of having no expectations. And having no expectations of saving or helping your parents is extremely difficult. I think we get that issue in every single class we do.

Hans:
We do. It's just common.

Alfred:
When children wake up and they become spiritual and they become happy, they instinctively want to help their parents in the same way that they've been helped, and that's an investment, that's an expectation, and it's incredibly hard not to have an expectation that your parents are going to understand you, what you're doing, or that they're going to want what you have. However, it's you job to present what you're doing. It is not your job to have an expectation that they're going to learn from it.

Hans:
I have a question for you. I know how difficult your childhood was. In the process of coming out of the old awareness into the new awareness, what did you do with the anger?

Alfred:
That's part of the spiritual growth is as you let go of your past, of illusions, of opinions, the anger goes away instinctively. The anger is just a by-product of hanging onto the past. 

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
And once you let go of the past, then the anger goes away. It's the same thing we used to say in the classes: If you're standing in front of a fire, you can pour water over your head until kingdom come, and you're still going to be hot. What we say is: Pour water on the fire and then you won't be hot anymore.

Hans:
(Laughing) And then you'll be fine...exactly.

Alfred:
So you deal with the root cause of the symptom. The symptom is that you're angry. What is the root cause? My parents abused me. I'm an abused child. Well, I'm sorry those are past events. That's your opinion of a past event, and if you just let that go and live in the now, you won't be angry. And that's obviously easier said than done.

Hans:
Well, I think for all of us, even those of us who follow a spiritual path, I think it's still hard to deal with the inner child and soothe that child. We might be able to rationalize, Alfred, that this is what we should do, and there's a reason for all of this. But there still is a little wounding in the child, no matter what happens. That's for you, for me, for just about anybody listening to the show tonight. You make the pain okay. It's okay. It's alright. And I know with you Alfred, if I say to you the plate is hot. What will you do?

Alfred:
I'm going to touch it.

Hans:
There you go. That's what I'm getting at.

Alfred:
I love that. It drives Hans crazy.

Hans:
(Laughing) It drives people in restaurants crazy that are trying to serve him. And they're saying: Hot plate! He'll pick it up anyway.

Alfred:
Well I've learned not to pick it up, I just touch it a little. Nothing like a little pain to wake you up.

Hans:
Oooohhhh! 

Alfred:
Yes.

Hans:
You got it! 

Alfred:
Yes.

Hans:
You see? Nothing like a little pain to wake you up.

Alfred:
And that's what we try to teach people is when you feel a symptom, look for the root cause of the symptom. It's not: Okay, I'm aggravated, let me go to the gym. I'm aggravated, let me have a drink or do something else. I'm aggravated, let me do meditation. No. What we try to teach is if you're aggravated, what is the button that somebody pushed that triggered that aggravation? Look at that root cause and I guarantee you it has nothing to do with being in the moment. It's either: I'm frustrated, I'm not where I should be in the future, I'm aggravated because something happened...

Hans:
I don't have as much money as I thought was going to have...

Alfred:
I don't know what you're talking about...

Hans:
(Laughing) I know you well.

Alfred:
Yes. So it's looking for the root cause of the aggravation. Yes, you can do it in meditation. But it's getting at the root cause of it and a lot of what we're trying to explain in this soul mate topic has to do with a lot of the things that you have an opinion that are negative, or hurtful, or painful, really aren't. They're actually lessons that you requested people present you with.

Hans:
Yes, I think Alfred, you hit upon that and I think it's really, really important. You simply can't blame others for your pain. We all want to do this. We all want to believe our parents did this to us, or our husband or our wife did that to us in the divorce... We all want to blame, blame, blame. But what we forget is - we set it in place. 

The main lessons of this soul mate topic are, for instance, don't blame others for painful relationships. Be grateful for the lessons learned from others. Kind of relax. Sometimes soul mate friends and animals are there to have fun and  provide unconditional love. Learn to see things from a different point of view. Don't blame others for painful relationships. If you are in a relationship with someone and you're in pain all the time you need to ask yourself why. And if the relationship is not working you don't want to become a victim of it. You want to be certain that your parents know how much you love them. But also, how much you will not allow them to put guilt upon you. That's a very big lesson because that guilt is put there deliberately to demean you. It is put there deliberately to demean you because you chose for it to be put there. Your job is to turn to anybody who demeans you and say: Excuse me. That is only your interpretation of who I am. My interpretation tells me I'm wonderful and my God loves me. They have no comeback for that. 

Be grateful, be grateful that you have had all these lessons come into your life because one day, one day when you make that transition...one day, as I like to say when you fall off your perch... One day you'll be able to look back with a bunch of friends and loved ones and see this last episode of your incarnation cycle and say: By golly, here's what I wanted to do and this is what I left having learned. And then your soul soars.

Sometimes I have to say to people very difficult things. I remember when Alfred was getting started, he just fought me tooth and nail, thinking he had the answer. And time after time after time, Spirit proved he did not. That is was nothing more than a lesson.

So what I want you all to hear is there is no way you should ever be so angry with anyone that you lose your self-awareness, that you lose your spiritual being. There should never be a time in your life when lessons are so strong that you want to give up. Because the truth of the matter is you put them in place. And the wonderful thing about it is once you really begin to understand: Oh, I see there's a continuity in what I'm doing, I keep repeating the the same things over and over again. Why are you doing that? What is going on for you that you continue to do this? Time in, time out, over and over and over? It is because you have not learned the lesson of the lesson. You have not gotten the value. But the moment you get the value, it's like this great weight is suddenly removed from you. Relax children. Soul mate friends, soul mate animals, are there for you to also have fun with, and to provide unconditional love.

How many of you today emailed someone that you think may be feeling alone and wished them Happy Valentine's Day? I did that this morning. I sent out Valentines to people I know happen to be by themselves right now. Think, everyone of you, send one person, even though it's late, send one person a Valentine's Greeting. Just a kind word, that's all. And watch how much better you feel for doing that. It will help change your life.

Many, many children who do have early childhood experiences are forced to relinquish those experiences because of the thoughts of others. Oftentimes a child will say to a parent: You know I see people on the Other Side. And you know I heard this lady say something to me today, a very kind angel came to visit me today, and she told me some things. Most people will say: You have a very vivid imagination child. Or well that's alright, that's called your imaginary friend. And rather than say: It's your imaginary friend, it would be very helpful for parents to understand that if they would simply say: Well that's wonderful, what did they say? What was the experience about for you? Tell me more. Let's record it so we won't forget it when you grow up. We tend to be fearful that our children speak to us about Spirit and about seeing other people or getting a message.

I have a client, for instance, whose husband had passed away before the child was born. And the very first memories of the child were he could see his father. When he first started speaking he would say: You know daddy brought me to life. Daddy brought me here. He said to me that I had to come here and be with you. And she just couldn't bring herself, she was so devastated, to honor that with the child. She hid all the father's pictures. And when the child was a little older he said: Daddy says you have those pictures in a box in the garage and you need to bring them out so we can be a family again. And he said he especially likes the one with the motorcycle.

When we listen to our children and we get past ourselves, we give our children the opportunity of that experience. You are in fact a baby angel having a human experience. And once that sits in you and you realize that you have resources, that you have tools, then you can be child-like again like the Bible says. Being child-like really means being close to the Source. Which is where we came from, it's where we're going. And it gives us an opportunity to learn to live. To live the life you were meant to live. This program will give you an opportunity to stand back of yourself and view your behavior and see what's stopping you, what's keeping you from getting where you want to go. You know the program really is very simple. It's seeing past the illusion and stopping the fear. As children, we don't have that concept of fear, we don't have that concept of death. We're full of love, we're full of light. Just listen to your children and they'll tell you their story. I think that's very important to do.
