Topic: Nothing is Wrong
October 3, 2015






HANS: 
Hi everyone, welcome.  Today’s topic is, “Nothing Is Wrong.” In our daily life we need to view things in certain perspectives in order for us to feel that everything is okay, we’re in good shape. We need for people to say certain things, we need to hear our boss say certain things, we need constantly to be reassured that everything’s okay, everything’s alright. Right now we’re going through this terrible loss again at a another school, this is the forty-second school that this has happened to, and so our minds right away are rushing to try to comprehend the madness that’s involved with why our children kill our children. We all know why. All you have to do is turn on television or go to the movies. That’s where they’re getting all this “violence is okay.”

Alfred and I sat the other night and we watched little blurbs from all the new TV shows. Every one of them was violence. Every one we looked at had violence in it - I mean murders - everyone of them. Then we wonder why our children - where this is coming from. We know the answers but we don’t want to bring them into ourself, so that we make ourself responsible for any of this. You see?

So, when I say to you, what makes you think anything is wrong, the mind has a place inside of it that it needs to understand why this is going on. So, what I’m saying to you is, when you go to work everyday, there’s a need you have for the boss, maybe the owner, to live up to some emotional expectation you may have. If that doesn’t happen in that time frame that you have set, something’s wrong. You have a need for your partner to say a certain thing or be a certain way, when they maybe would have said, “Do you need that?” Something’s wrong. And so learning, one of the hardest things I ever tried to teach our boy here, was that nothing was wrong. And he looked at me like I’d lost my mind.

ALFRED:
When we bring this topic up in class, which we do a lot of times, especially during the Intuitive Development Class, immediately people come up with child abuse, the Holocaust. They bring up the worst things that could have ever possibly be, and we have to sit there and say, “What makes you think anything is really wrong?” And there’s a lot of different ways for you to look at it, one of them being - is there really death? If the absolute worse things happen, mass suicides, mass killings, the school killings, the Holocaust, is there anything wrong? Did those people die? Or did the physical aspect just fade away and the soul just return to the other side to come back down for another incarnation later on. That’s what we try to describe to you, is by changing your perception of the way you look at things, instead of having a judgment of the way you’re looking at murder, the school shootings, change your perception to say - this is nothing more than a vehicle.

When you get into an accident, yes, you’re a little bit shaken up, but what do you do? You go get another car. The insurance company pays for it, or you get a rental car and you use that for a little while and then you get into another car and then off you go. Yes, there’s a little bit of emotion when you lose one car and pick up another one but is it really like that, Hans?

HANS:
Alfred, as humans, we forget one specific thing. The greatest gift that the Universe gives us, that God first gives us, you’ve heard me say this for years, is free will. It is man’s free will that is creating the disasters, the murders, the inhumanity to our fellow man, not feeding our hungry. It is our own choice, maybe not yours, but somebody else’s. It’s a bunch of free will choices that are hurting the world.

We now, this beautiful country of ours, with our beautiful people, have now become the most violent nation in the western world. I saw on television today that over the last ten years, three hundred and eighty-three Americans have been killed by terrorists overseas. That’s terrible. But three hundred thousand have been killed inside the United States, by our own people who are acting like terrorists.

I just saw a lady and her husband in Tokyo and their daughter wanted to go to Columbia University in New York, and they didn’t want her to go, they said, "No.It’s too violent there, you don’t want to go there, you’ll get hurt." The daughter wanted to go, to be with her friends, and anyway she went and on her first day she was shot dead in the street. Is that a coincidence? Is that something that was supposed to happen? No. So when we say to you, what makes you think anything is wrong? You’re not reacting to a global situation, you’re reacting to a human situation. The human situation in our country has grown more and more angry, more and more fearful, and so out of that anger and out of that fear - why didn’t God stop World War I, and World War II, and the Korean War, and the Vietnamese War? God had nothing to do with those wars. Nothing.

ALFRED:
And that’s exactly it. If you try to look at the situation from a human perspective, if you try to understand it, if you try to rationalize it – yes, you’re going to get frustrated, there’s going to be blame, there’s going to be stress, there’s going to be anger, but for those of a spiritual perspective, there is the law of free will, and that is the fundamental foundation of incarnation on this planet  - is that this planet allows for all experiences, all choices. You can choose to be happy. You can choose to be kind. You can choose to be mean. Now, could there ever be possibly be something good that comes out of violence, mass murder - yes. Is there something positive that could come out of poverty? Yes. What? An uprising of enlightenment, good, sharing, that there are people, for example Britain and the UK rose up against the evil that happened in World War II, there was an uprising of good. With poverty there is an uprising of super billionaires who are now funding money to end poverty.

There is the possibility to interact and experience anything you want on this earth and that is by design by the Creator that everyone has free will to experience whatever they want, however they want… and everyone knows that before they come here.

HANS:
Absolutely. One of the things They say to us on our way in is, "Remember you have free will over everything. Yes, you have a dharma that speaks to learning this particular thing. Be nice to each other, be kind." Instead, when we come in right away our minds are filled with all the fears of our parents, all the fears of society. We see things on television - I saw the other day that on average, a child sees a little more than fifty-eight murders a week. Every week. On the television - with a handgun. Fifty-eight. That’s appalling. We now have a hand gun for every man, woman and child in the United States of America. No nation on earth has that many firearms.

When I was a young man, you went to the police station and you got a gun permit. Then, when you got your permit, you went to the gun place and you bought the gun and you registered the gun. Not anymore. So, when we start getting upset about our sense of the lack of free will, which is what we all feel. We feel helpless. The reason we feel helpless is because we don’t do anything to change it. We keep succumbing.

ALFRED:
Exactly. And that is the first lesson we are telling you about. You can fall into the fear, you can fall into why is this happening? You can get upset, or you can say, “I dedicate my life, I dedicate part of my time to being peaceful,” and go within being peaceful and realize that nothing can affect
who you are. You always have the choice to be happy. Second, there was the possibility of finally the people having a greater say than the gun lobby. There is finally a possibility that the word of the people is going to overcome the NRA. That is the good that can possibly come from this.

HANS:
The other side on the gun issue says, oh the second amendment - nobody is talking about taking your guns away. That is never going to happen in this country. It is part of our Constitution. What we are talking about is being responsible for the guns we sell people. That’s what we’re talking about. If the other half of the country rose up and said in a strong and forceful voice, “No. You cannot do this anymore. Let’s open a dialogue.” If that force was as loud as the force on the right that has risen up - millions and millions of dollars that have been spent to keep gun laws the way they are - then you would see change. The free will of people, but until you take a stand, until you say no I am not willing to take this anymore.

Until you change your perception and realize, “Oh, there is nothing wrong here. I’m just not acting on it.” We have tremendous laws on guns in this country, but none of them are used.

So what I want you to do is to use what I’m talking about today in several ways. How are you viewing your life? How are you viewing the conditions of your life? Alfred, I talked to a lady a couple of days ago, and she said she had the most miserable life she ever could have imagined. She said her life turned out exactly as she thought it was. She said, “I’m miserable, nobody loves me, I have a terrible job, I hardly have any money in the bank, nobody wants to be my friend.” I said, “When did you start doing this to yourself?” She went totally crazy on the phone. Totally crazy! “Why am I talking to you?” I said, “Because you need to put in a new perspective, that’s why.” She believed that everything was wrong. She became a victim of that, and she started to look at when the next shoe’s going to drop, when’s the next bad thing going to happen? Can any of you relate to that? 

ALFRED:
Absolutely. And that leads up to our second topic for today, which has to do with looking at nothing is wrong by changing your perception and changing your judgment of the way that things are. What makes you think you have the ability to understand, to judge, to have an opinion of the way things are, to judge universal law, to judge God for allowing these things to happen?

HANS:
God didn’t do that to you.

ALFRED:
No. But imagine if by design, God allowed for all experiences. That we knew about World War I, World War II. We knew about the Crusades, we knew about the British coming over and taking over America, we knew about the Spanish taking over South America, before you incarnated and you said, “That’s okay, I’m going to come down there.” It was a choice, of course you don’t remember this.

HANS:
The greatest gift God gives us always, is free will. Nothing is more important.

ALFRED:
And to look at what is happening through that perception, to say, “No - I knew in advance that this was the type of world that I was going to come down into.” Instead of having a judgment of what is wrong, and judging; having the opinion that something’s wrong - look at it the way you did when you decided to come down which is: I have the judgment that I want to live my life in this incarnation and look at the good I can do for myself, look at the good I can do for my soul, look at the possibilities of being of service, because there are so many opportunities to be of service.

HANS:
Go back even further than that. As mankind has evolved, God never produced anything called war. Great Spirit never produced anything called murder. Never produced anything called starvation. Mankind did that, and God always gets blamed if something goes wrong. And gets the credit when something goes right. We as a nation of people, are slowly imploding. Our current system is imploding. We are no longer even governable. We are the laughing stock of the western world. Travel overseas and see what they think about the craziness. Donald Trump for president?! Really? That’s the best we can come up with?

We need to sit back, all of us, in our personal life and say, “I choose no longer perceive my life as a loss.” Remember my friend Alexandra I’ve told you about all these years - whenever anything would go awry in her life, her first statement out of her lips was, “I wonder what’s in this for me today, what can I learn from this today?”

ALFRED:
And that’s what we mean about looking at your judgment, looking at your perception of the situation, of the news, of what’s going on. What is there for you? Is it - oh look at this world that I live in, or is it - look there’s a lot of opportunities to serve. Is it - oh I blame God for this or no - there’s just some lost souls out there and I choose to be a soul that’s of service to others. I choose to be a soul that is happy. What is your perception, what is your opinion, your judgment, the way you view what is going on in the world and your role in the world?

HANS:
Exactly. You can have the peace in your life at any time by allowing your perception to shift that there is peace. You can literally make a decision today that says my life is of value, I don’t particularly care the way it’s going right now, but I set that in motion. I’m not a victim of my circumstances any longer. I choose to know there’s nothing wrong, and that all I’m asking Spirit for is to help me change my intention. Because out of intention comes clarity. Always.

Did we get it?

ALFRED:
Yes. That was a tough subject.

HANS:
It is a tough subject because, it is inbred in us through society, good and evil, light and dark, right and wrong, poor and rich, always this dichotomy of perceptual truth. Truth is, I am. Truth is, nothing is wrong.

I had a dear friend Rita, who used to say to her students, “Over your head every day Spirit provides a tremendous amount of cookie dough. Just floating in the clouds, the cookie dough. Every day God gives you all the cookie cutters you could possibly use for your own imagination and your own heart, and it’s up to you to find one you think looks good and bring it down and put it on the tray and Spirit will bake that cookie for you.” Because she believed. Belief is the oven of joy.

ALFRED:
Those are the two different ways you can look at life. You can look at your life - look at all the things that are bad around me or you can follow the wisdom of Mahatma Gandhi that says be the change you wish to see in the world.

HANS:
Change your internal mechanism. Don’t say, “I want to buy a house in Acapulco,” say, “I’m going to buy a house in Acapulco.” Don’t say, “Gee I wish I could learn to fly,” say, “Well I’m already a pilot I just need my license.” Move yourself out of your minds perception that there’s something blocking you, that there’s something wrong, move it out. I woke up today, my feet hit the ground. I have choices. I can choose to be happy, or I can choose to be miserable. Mind chatter will immediately go back to your family or your problems or you history Alfred, and start pulling that junk up once again as if any of it is real! In all those memories that you have of your younger days - they’re gone. The reality of it is nobody gives a darn, nobody knows the pain that you’re in, nobody cares that you’re in the pain. They’ll say, “Get over yourself.” Everything you want is in front of you. That’s just a memory. Would you run a race with a ten foot ball put to your foot? No. Get rid of the ball. it’s called perception.

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

Topic:  You Are The Master of Your Own Ship
January 31, 2015






Hans:
Good evening everyone. This is Hans and today's topic is "You are the Master of Your own Ship." 

Probably one of the most important lessons in awareness that I can give you is the fact that you're not here by accident, you're here by design. Now you all have heard me talk about this before. But it's very important to remember that you are not a victim of this lifetime. Nobody made us come here, nobody said here: Peggy you have to go down now and you have do this, that... No, no, no, no. Remember that Council Table that I talked to you about where we look at our past lives and where we may have been stuck, what we might want to sort of undo, if you will. So there is that plan that when we come in we do have that sort of karmic blueprint stapled to our behind. Now when we say that "You Are The Master of Your Own Ship," it is that no other person has dominion over you. No one. Yes, there are karmic obligations with certain people. Absolutely. However, none of those karmic obligations are meant in any way to keep you from your personal choices and your personal dharma. Okay? So just so you'll know that Spirit wants you to always know... Spirit wants you to know that you are here by design. Now you've heard me on almost every show "You're here by design." What does that mean? It means that You Are The Master of Your Own Ship. You tell the universe what you would like the experience of and the laws of the universe then begin to put themselves in motion for your experience.

Now, let's say, for instance, that you would like... Let's say you're praying and you say to Spirit: I would like the experience of a new house. Okay, so you put it out there. Somewhere in many of you a little tiny green meanie will say: Well I don't know how that's going to happen or how is that ever going to happen or you know what if I don't deserve it? And there's a little negative thing that comes in. And once that negative has entered the picture in any way, shape, or form, it negates the original request. If you say to Spirit, something... Put it like this: If it is for me, I would like the experience of the following please. I know I'm in the right place at the right time and I am accepting of this and all that you send regarding this request. I give it to you. I put it in your hands. I now have no expectations. Boy, that's hard to do. But when you do that, you're literally telling the ship's Captain which way to steer the boat. You're not telling him how to do it, you're saying: I trust you, this is the destination I would like to go to. What that does is that's says "I trust, I believe, I know you will do that which is best for me."

What happens in society and happens in life is that on our way to thinking that we want to do this, we're going to do that, and all this stuff, there is a built in society sort of conspiracy to remind you that you're not enough, to remind you... For instance, if you all remember the salad days of the craziness we went through in 2001 through 2008 where you saw everyday on the TV: Oh, do you have any equity in your house? Let us give you a dream come true. Let's take that equity away from you but we're going to give you a boat. We're going to give you a second house. Oh, don't worry about the payoff, oh, we'll just stick it on here, we'll stick it on there, a little bit more inches, don't worry about it, you'll grow into the loan. Now we knew that when we were doing that it was not sound financial substance. 

So what I'm asking you to do is to look at the fact that if you want that boat, if you want that big screen television set, give it to Spirit and do what they send for you to do to get that. And most of the time they will say: Will you be just a little patient please? We heard you. We are working on it. But right away for us when we make a request to Spirit and it doesn't happen immediately it fits into a place internally inside of us that says: I knew I wasn't good enough. Somewhere in there it says to us: I knew I shouldn't have asked for that. Why is it somebody else gets that but I don't get that? And we forget that basically since we are the master of our own ship, each one of us is on a different boat. We may all be going in the same direction, children, but we're in different boats based on our dharma, our karma, what we have chosen to learn. And so learning to flow with the possibilities of your own soul, learning to flow with the power, the love and the warmth of Spirit opens our life to so many unimaginable experiences. 

Talking to a lady today who said to me: You know Hans, I listened to a show a couple of weeks ago and you said we choose our life and our friends and she said: I got so mad at you I didn't listen to the next week's show. She said: Then I went back and I listened to what you said originally. And she said I realized: Oh, he's saying take responsibility for your direction. Give the clarity to the Spirit and they will more than meet you halfway. They literally will present doors that lead you to that inevitability. She said: So I tried that. And she said: Something I've been struggling for for over four years, when I gave it to the Spirit and I said: I am asking you, this is the direction I want to go and I'm asking you to present the door. She said: Out of nowhere, out of nowhere, almost immediately, in a day or two, came the solution. She said: Why is it the truth is so simple? 

When you are the master of your own ship, when you let go and you let God, you would be amazed at what begins to happen. Even though we may have karmic debt, in my experience, which is sizable at my age, I have never seen karmic debt ruin a person's life. Not ever, not ever. I mean I hear it every day that I work somebody will say to me: Well I know and I believe in what you say but I don't believe it can happen for me because nothing ever has happened, I believe I must have been a bad person in a previous life, I know that money isn't mine, I know that I'm not going to find a boyfriend, but I totally believe. No you don't. What god would you pray to who said to you: Oh, by the way you need to stay alone. What god would you pray to that says: Ah sorry, but this lifetime you're a bag lady. Do you know that's the second most common asked question I have from women is will I be a bag lady? Will I have a roof over my head? And during these very, very difficult times it's helpful to remember that of course you will never be a bag lady because you have no place in your heart, there's no lesson you need to learn by being a bag lady. Because your bank account is the largest in the universe. Have you ever had to pay your rent folks, or your mortgage payment, and you just couldn't find the money? It just wasn't there? Have you ever noticed that almost always, a way is found? A way is found. Do you know the banks have not foreclosed on 70% of all the homes in default in this country? They don't want them. They don't want them. Give the bank a call. Work something out. 

The greatest gift the universe ever gives you, the greatest gift God, the Spirit, all that love and protect us, ever gives us is free will. Talking to a gentleman today and he said: Are you saying you can choose to be happy or you can choose to be sad? I said: That's what I'm saying to you. He said: What do you do when you've lost a partner of 40 years? I said: You smile and say: Thank you for those wonderful years. I'm going to see you again not too far down the road and we'll share our memories together. We don't suffer those who pass away. We suffer the pain that is left because they're not here for us and with us. I deal with people's crossings every day that I work. And I've never seen someone come back and say: I'm having a really rotten time. This is a place you don't want to come to. I really don't like this place at all. Not ever. They talk about how warm and cozy, how free they feel, how young they feel, they're not in pain, they're not old anymore, their bodies are young and vital. All of you remember that when you go back to Spirit you take on the appearance of somewhere between, I would guess, 28-32, somewhere in through there, where you really were looking pretty sexy, pretty hot, and that's how you look. Oftentimes people will say to me: Well Hans, I saw my mother but she wasn't the old lady who passed away, she looked very young and very vital. Well that's the Etheric body. That's what we're all going to look like. But not like each other, of course (laughing), but our own Etheric body. 

If you could put in your heart "I'm not a victim of this.” No matter what it looks like. If circumstances take me to the fact that I'm probably going to move whether I like it or not, you'll get it as a new adventure. What can I create out of this? No matter what you're handed, kids, what can I create out of this. Look, I had to do that. You all know that. Recession hit me, very, very hard.  I went through a difficult health period. I had to stop traveling. I've been traveling for over thirty some years, thirty-five, thirty-seven years. And that was 70% of my income. I lost my partner of 47 years and there I was. Wow, out here in the middle of nowhere. I retrenched, I regrouped, Alfred came on-board to give me a hand, doors began to open, I moved back to this country for awhile. And since that time, everything good has happened for me. We have a new friend helping us, Jennifer, who has literally, I think Alfred you would agree, the answer to prayer. And we have Corina. We have people who've come to help us because we literally got overwhelmed. I mean all of you who stick with us know that sometimes the Radio Show may be there, sometimes it may not all this trying to get things to work. So bit by bit, day by day, we're working it out and we're working it together. But we know that all we have to do is tell Spirit what direction we would like to go in. That's all. 

So I'm going to open you all up to this thought: There's nothing going on in your life today that at some point you didn't create. If you have difficult thinking, fearful thinking, negative thinking, no matter how positive you try to be, the mind chatter 9 times out of 10, if you don't learn to control it, will literally overtake the you are the master of your own ship belief system and it will say don't be silly, you wouldn't have chose this, you wouldn't have chose that, look your mother said this, your dad did that, your ex-husband, your ex-wife, all the pain, the children, all that, you would have never chosen any of this. Oh yes, you would have. But you don't know that. 

I remember once I was at a satsang. And I think I've said this to you before, I had a friend named Swami Satchidananda. And Sri Swami, I'm not a devotee, I was a friend because his personal secretary, Ahma, was a friend of our family's. And I was at a satsang one day, I think it was a Saturday or something like that, and I remember a little boy during the question period down in the front row said: Gurudev, why is it that the universe never lets us see the whole picture? And Gurudev pulled down his little glasses. He said: Oh child, he said: Because you would change it. And what makes you think that this limited gray matter in your head can possibly comprehend the universe's path for you? So think about that. Think on that for a minute. If you knew, you would change it. And where would be the value if you didn't have to face your lessons? And the lessons, I might add, that you put in place. So you came in with the lessons that you wanted to learn, you came in with free will. Now sometimes, not always but sometimes, something that you wanted to learn runs a conflicting path with what you want to do. So what do you do when you have these two things diverging? You slow down and you say: Alright, what is it here that I'm trying to see? What is it here, what is the mind chatter that continuously comes up on this issue? Is it fear, faith? What is it? Self-esteem?  Do you know that self-esteem and self-worth bury more people's dreams than any condition on earth? And those all come out of your own consciousness. If you wish to be worried about anything, if you wish to be fearful about anything, children be fearful of your own thinking force. Because it is the one thing, since energy follows thought, if your mind is producing negative thought towards a positive idea, the positive idea will go away. Because there's no place for it to come and visit you. It's like saying: I want a relationship but I know I'll never get one. Hello? Well what are you going to get? Exactly. 

I said, almost 60 years ago, that when I grew up one day I wanted to live on the West Coast of Mexico. And everybody looked and me and said: Oh, he's a nice boy but he's a little strange. Well I do. I said I wanted to live in the desert one day. Well I do. I've had all these experiences because I didn't let my mind chatter tell me I couldn't do it. Don't tell me what I can't do. I don't want anyone to tell me what I can't do. Don't let anyone tell you what you can't do. Tell them what you're going to do. You may be sitting children in a nice, small, clean little apartment somewhere. Be grateful that you have it in this time. You may say: One day I'd  like to have a larger home with a pool and a wonderful partner and a dog and I would like the experience of not “having” to work for a living. If you believe that, and you do not allow any negative mind chatter to come in and tell you you're not good enough, you're not worth it, your mother never said you... Any of this victim nonsense, you will arrive, if it is for you, at that destination. And I have very rarely ever seen anyone who set upon a path that they could not accomplish. I can't recall very many of them. 

I know someone today who worked in the Silicon Valley as a computer designer. He designed chips for computers, very good at it. And he always wanted to be in service. He wanted to help others. And he tried several things that didn't quite work out. He went back to his old job again. However, in the long-run, in the long-run, he wound up with a beautiful Center in Hawaii. And he is helping people, workshops, he and his wife doing workshops, seminars. Because he wouldn't let the appearance dictate the reality. Do not, kids, allow the circumstances of the moment to dictate your reality. Just because you're in that apartment, just because you're out of work, just because your car doesn't work well, just because all of that is there doesn't mean anything is wrong. It is all "part of" you see. If you want to go for a trip and you want to drive your car, you can't go anywhere if there isn't a road. Listen to me - you can't go anywhere if there isn't a road. All the bumpy times and the things that don't work - all that nonsense that we're bombarded by in and out of our life, that is the cement, that's the asphalt, the glue, that paves the road. Your car cannot do its best job if it has no road. You don't want to drive it over hills and bumps and hitting the ground and all that. No, no, no, no, no. You want your path to be smooth and then you can take your car and drive it anywhere you want to go because you have already paved the road. You understand? That's what the darker times are all about is paving the road. Remember in life that every single solitary thing has a corresponding opposite. Cause and effect. Corresponding opposite. As far down as you are is you just reverse it and see that's how high you will go eventually. As high as you are, you will have a down time. But the down times never define you because you know and hold the original intention. 

I work in Hollywood a lot. And I'm blessed to know many people that you all know. Some people were getting $20, $30 million a picture. They're now getting $10. And you're saying: Well, poor them. Well, you know what? When you structure your life at $20 and $30 million, it becomes a problem. I was taught, when I was a child, that a penny saved is a penny earned. Remember that okay? A penny saved is a penny earned. Do not spend more than you make - period. And you will always be fine. So on that note, before we start our questions, I want you to all know that even though you may have sort of messed up a little bit in your consciousness about your belief system, even though you may have gotten off your track, please know this: Spirit has in mind an easy way for you to get back on track and that is "belief." Simply stop for a moment and say: I no longer give power to this negative thinking. I am the master of my own ship. I choose not to allow my mind chatter to destroy my potential, to destroy my possibilities. I absolutely refuse. I'm turning my life back to God. I'm turning my life back to Spirit. I am the master of my own ship and they and I have a boat and a chart together. And yes you can! 


Remember again, the greatest gift that the universe ever gives you is self-esteem and free will. Armed with free will and self-esteem you can accomplish anything. Don't let the appearances drag you down. Don't let people drag you down. That's why we say when someone starts to rag on us we say: Excuse me, not my problem. Don't allow anyone, or anything, children, to disturb your ease. We all have friends and they want to come over and they want to rag and say: Oh, so and so did this or my kid did that... Just turn to them and say: It's all perfect. It always works out in the end. Don't worry. Let's not discuss it. How are you today? How are you today? And if they keep going back, say: When you feel you want to be happy, come back and see me. You know, it's true that a problem shared with a friend is halved. However just having someone there to look at your possibilities, to look at your potential, not your victim place, but to say: Well that may be true but did you know that this is what you could be doing? Did you know this doesn't cost any money? Did you know that there are millions of people looking for someone? Don't worry about it. Of course it's going to work out. Okay?

Topic:  How To Find Your Life Mission
January 16, 2015





Hans:
Hello everyone. So nice to be back with you today. It's an interesting topic "How to Find Your Life's Mission." You know if you can remember back to when you were a very young child... if you found yourself, for instance, being drawn to coloring airplanes, or mechanical things – I had tinker toys and wanted to put things together, intricate things together. If your parents are wise they kind of know what direction they may want to bring to you. If you find yourself wanting to do something for someone else, a neighbor, go help the little lady across the street who's a widow, just wanting to give and help people and it just comes really natural to you, that's a sure sign that you're going to be in service in this lifetime. Some people have multi-talents, Alfred, and they may head down one road and experience that but that door often leads to another door. Now you remember that don't you?

Alfred:
Absolutely, Hans.

Hans:
Did you find that when you were going down the one road... Did you find that you felt when you were doing that that's where you needed to be at that moment or did you feel you were doing that but there was something else gnawing at you?

Alfred:
No. I knew that's what I was supposed to be doing at that time in my life. There was just some reason, which I didn't understand, that drove me to go in certain directions and do certain things and leave opportunities that people couldn't understand in order to go in a direction that even I couldn't understand.

Hans:
This is often the case and what I try to help people to understand is throughout life Spirit presents us with what I call "Doors of Opportunities" and they'll... You know you say: Well, I want the experience of this. And now their job is to help you to do that but they also see the larger picture and they know there's another thing that your soul wanted to experience so they put in the one but they leave this little second door, sort of always there, sort of almost like gnawing at you just a little bit, like I wish I had a look at this. And eventually that interest, that bit of intrigue on that grows to a point where you actually say: You know, I wonder if I should do that? And I always say to people: Follow your impressions. They are given to you by your Guides, they are given to you by the God-force. Follow your impressions. Because when you simply deal with the mind and the mind chatter and all that goes along with that, you immediately are in limitation. You know, I know people who are so invested in the way something needs to be and maybe they've gathered around them a group of friends who also agree this is the way this needs to be, this is what's supposed to be. But that can't affix a change for some reason. The reason is that they're not supposed to make that change. They are to use that as a vehicle to change themselves. That's what people don't want to deal with, is they have a problem, I find Alfred, in seeing past their limitations. Have you found this to be true?

Alfred:
And that's part of the hard part... is to just begin with the simple understanding that Spirit is there to guide you to a career, a job, a place, to people that you asked to experience before you were born. See all of those reasons "why" you wanted to experience those things were based upon karma, dharma, previous lifetimes, where you are in your soul's growth. Then you come down here and you get bombarded by media, friends, pressure, and sometimes the two just don't match. So Spirit is guiding you in one direction saying you asked us to point you in this direction, thus we're giving you this little feeling that you should do that. And all of these other social pressures, family pressures, are taking you in a different direction. And what we're trying to tell you is if you want to begin finding your path in life, you need to start looking within, feeling within, connecting to Guidance, to find why you're here.

Hans:
You know Alfred, sometimes when we don't feel that we fit or we don't feel we're being recognized by family, or by work, or friends, we have a tendency to blame the situation rather than look at ourselves. And so we find ourself saying: Well, this person doesn't understand me, and this group should be doing this, and this organization needs to change... And we find ourselves blaming others for refusing to deal with the self in the situation. Rather than say you know this situation doesn't suit me or this situation doesn't serve me. What we tend to do is then become victims of this situation, throwing our life's lesson right to the wind.  And we are bigger, we are better than that situation. That situation is not who we are. But we begin to continue to sever... and we build an entire identity around the suffering of the situation. That can be a relationship, Alfred, it could be work, it could be any number of things. But once we slip into that self victimization role, it takes a very long time to get out of it. Don't you find that's true?

Alfred:
And that's a lot of the teachings that we go over is you have a choice and we're explaining to you what that major choice is. The choice is to follow human thought, what human's think is important, what is important or perceived to be important in the physical world or you can follow these teachings to guide you what is important spiritually speaking. Now of course the issue is is because we're in the physical world, the physical aspects of image, ego, money, family, media, that seems really relevant. It's there. It seems like it's real.

Hans:
Yeah. Those are the key word there Alfred – seems like it's real.

Alfred:
And what we're trying to tell you do is see past the illusion. That's why you're here. I think in every major religion they talk about "overcoming." Well, they all define it differently. Our definition of "overcoming" is - see past the illusion, overcome the illusion. Practice being and connecting to Spirit to find your life's mission.

Hans:
Excellent. You know Alfred, I had a client any number of years ago who was like number 3, number 4, in a very large corporation and this individual had worked themselves up from a sales clerk ,as a matter of fact ,clear up to the top and he just couldn't get over the next hurdle. Years went by. They didn't affix the changes that he wanted, they continually bypassed him for promotions, and he began to become a victim of the situation and he kept saying I don't understand why they won't do the things that I know are best for them. And finally one day Spirit said to him: What makes you think they're supposed to? Oh, and then he gave us this litany of reasons why they're supposed to. And then Spirit says: What makes you think that you're supposed to be there anymore? Well, it's my job, this is all I know, this is what I worked for. And they said: No, this is what you've done so far. There's much more for you to do. And he absolutely refused to believe it. And a year went by, and another year went by and Spirit said the same thing each time he came to visit. So finally one day he said I've decided to take a package that's been offered to me by the company. The day he took that package he said, Alfred, it was like someone took a huge weight off his shoulders. Within 3 months, a smaller, fairly established start-up company hired him, heard about him, hired him, for more money than he was making before, with terrific stock options and he's now number 2 in the company and working towards the chairmanship.

Alfred:
And that's a really difficult story. So let me try to explain that because I came from...

Hans:
You lived that I know. (Hans laughing)

Alfred:
... one of those corporate backgrounds. But it applies to everyone. We want to find out what "is" our life mission? But that's not the way the Other Side works. 

Hans:
No.

Alfred:
And Hans taught me this very early to say... because I asked the same question for a couple years and every time Hans gave me the same answer. If you knew your life's mission, you would change it.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
Because you're addressing it from a human perspective. The Other Side is not going to give you your life's mission until you are a spiritual being functioning as Spirit, being as Spirit, and then you won't have any judgment and opinion from a human perspective to change your life's mission. In other words, by the far majority of the people who are listening to this, you're not going to get your life's mission, you're going to get what is the next step...

Hans:
For you on your growth.

Alfred:
... on your life path. Okay?

Hans:
That's correct.

Alfred:
So if you're looking for your life path, like this guy, it's what is the step in front of me. And then once you take that step, the next step will appear and that is how you find your life mission. By far, for the majority of us is if you're looking for your life path – okay, like every other spiritual lesson – look in the now. What is the lesson that is directly in front of you?

Hans:
Exactly Alfred.

Alfred:
And that is your path - what is directly in front of you in the moment.

Hans:
You know, I'm reminded Alfred, that sometimes we keep fishing in the same pond for a fish that doesn't exist in that pond. But by golly we're going to make certain that it appears so we keep fishing in it. And that's what people do with relationships, it's what they do with their employment, it's what they do with their friends. If something, kids, isn't working for you, it isn't for you. There are other options, even though your mind chatter may tell you oh no, there isn't, even if your friends say oh no you can't leave this job, oh no, if you leave this job you're done for. No. Because one day that same job that gave you your identity will be taken away from you whether you like it or you don't like it you're out the door. So all the time that you spent wanting to have this thing show up in your expectations was for absolutely no reason whatsoever. The ego then becomes in involved.

Alfred:
Yeah, and that's something you need to look at. If you keep trying something and it doesn't work, you keep trying something and it doesn't work, you keep trying something and it doesn't work... You have all these friends that keep doing the exact same thing, the lesson keeps getting presented to you over and over and over again. Take a look at it.

Hans:
Yeah. You know there's a saying Alfred that's out there today and I don't know why but it just cracks me up. But so many times in my career I've had to say to someone who is insisting that my teachings don't work for them, or this will never work, or this is too simplistic, or they need to have this change. And then I'll say: Okay, well how's that working for you? Are you winning that battle? Are you getting your point across? Are you affixing the changes you're trying to do? How's it working for you? And most of the time, Alfred, they will say: It's not. And Spirit will say: Then why do you keep trying it? Because I know, they say, that's where I'm supposed to be. You see? So that is their ego taking over responsibility for their life. If you are in a job and that job doesn't work for you, just simply doesn't work... you're not promoted when you should be, you don't get the respect from your peers, from the people at the top, if that isn't working for you, somebody tell me why in the world are you in that job? Why are you doing that to yourself?

Alfred:
And that's the hard one to understand is we're taught to push, to work through the stress...

Hans:
Right.

Alfred:
... to work through being tired.

Hans:
Well, you were taught that. And that's for sure.

Alfred:
Yes, yes. I had it drilled into me. What we're saying, spiritually speaking, that's human. And it's a choice whether to live your life according to human ways or if you want to find the reason you were born, to look at it from a spiritual perspective. If it's not working, then you're off your path.

Hans:
You're off your path. And if you're suffering in your work...

Alfred:
Then you're addressing it from human values, human thought, ego.

Hans:
Right:

Alfred:
If you're following our teachings, you'll understand – there is no suffering. That's a choice.

Hans:
That is a choice. You know Alfred, that's interesting you bring that up. A lot of times I have found that people feel that they're spiritual. People feel that they have the answer; they've grown spiritually. If you are suffering in any element, whether it's your work, a friendship, a job, you are not developed spiritually – period. No matter what you say to yourself, no matter how many lies you tell yourself, you are not. Because a true spiritual being knows there is nothing wrong – period. Nothing. So for all of you who are unhappy in the circumstances in your life, what a blessing. It is announcing to you it doesn't work, time to let go of your perceptions and open yourself up to that true spiritual nature of who you are and your life at that point will really begin to change. Alright, well that concludes the lesson for today.

Topic: New Year's Intentions
January 4, 2015





Hans:
Happy New Year everyone. I hope that you had a joyous and happy holiday season. And from our house to you, the best for this coming year. Our topic today is "New Year's Intentions." You know so many times I hear people talk about their New Year's Resolutions rather than their New Year's Intentions. I have a feeling inside of me that New Year's Resolutions sort of bind us. And then at the end of the year we punish ourself and are disappointed with ourself for not having lived up to those Resolutions. Folks, don't do that. Why don't we change that to "New Year's Intentions?" My intention in this coming year is to have an experience of the following - something like that. So that you give yourself the opportunity to allow Spirit to come in and work with you with those intentions rather than literally making sort of a demand from the Spirit by New Year's Resolutions - I'm going to do this and I'm going to do that. Folks, you don't know what the New Year holds for you. You don't know what the energies are for this year or where you're going. But, there is a divine flow of energy between you and Spirit that if you say: I would like the experience of...my intentions are the following... I'd like the experience of these intentions. Then you give Spirit an opportunity or a chance to begin to open a series of doors for you that those experiences, in one fashion or another, can be brought to you. And by the end of the year, you look back and say: Wow, look what happened. And you're not so bound by that narrow parameter that you've given yourself on your Resolutions. So I want you to change your Resolutions to Intentions. What do you think, Alfred?

Alfred:
The way I like to look at Resolutions is “I have this Resolution,” is “I'm going to do this.” And as we know, when you use the word "I" you isolate yourself through your humanness. Intention is “I am working with the universe, I have the intention, put the energy forth, have the vibration of this happening in my life and if it is for my highest good or whichever shape or form is for my highest good, then I agree to work with Spirit in order to create that, manifest that into my life.” So the big difference from my point of view is Resolutions about what "you" as an individual human can do, but intentions follow spiritual principles of course - are you working "with" the universe for your highest good? 

Hans:
Absolutely, Alfred. You know folks, this is a wonderful time of the year to begin anew. To set those Intentions. To try new things, to open ourself up to all kinds of new possibilities. We must not go backwards to go forwards. That wonderful song that Dionne Warwick sang about 40 years ago and she said: And a fool will loose tomorrow reaching back for yesterday. “Let all of those things that have been go." If there was love, pull them forward. If there was a teaching that you felt really helped you, pull it forward. Let the rest go. Clear a space in your heart and in your head for Spirit to present you with wonderful new opportunities. And since you are in charge of the type of opportunities you would like to see happen, then their job is to follow through with those doors that I talk about. Doors being of course, opportunities. People call them "windows of opportunities," I call them "doors of opportunities." It doesn't make any difference, same thing. 

But sometimes we get caught in the guilt of not living up to our New Year's Resolutions and we think: Ooop, there I didn't do it again this year. Oh, you know can't hold it. Shame on me. Don't do any of that. If you did have New Year's Resolutions last year and they didn't happen, laugh at it, giggle at it, poke fun at it. Don't punish yourself. Don't say: Well, I'm not strong enough, or I can't do it. No, no, no. This year we're going to wipe the slate clean. We're going to say: Okay, my intention in this coming year is to feel the following. And one of the Intentions that I say that I feel is very helpful for me, is I say: In this coming year, I would like to feel and have the intention of feeling love. And since love comes in many forms you open yourself up to all kinds of wonderful new things. It can be a lover, a loved one, it could be an animal, it could be bliss, it could be flowers. This is all kinds of wonderful forms of love. And in your Intentions include that one. Let love into your life in all of its form and you will find how peaceful you become in this New Year. Alright, Alfred, when did you start realizing that Intentions and Resolutions or however you want to call it, were completely different?

Alfred:
Again, a lot of it has to do with your opinion of what you think you would like in your life because us, as humans, on purpose, by design, don't know what we wanted in our life, we don't know, we don't remember what we asked to experience before we came here.

Hans:
No, that's correct.

Alfred:
Okay. It's through the inner search that we can connect who we truly are in order to feel and become aware of that which is for our highest good. Resolutions are all about what our humanness thinks we should do.

Hans:
Exactly.

Alfred:
Quit smoking, you know, things like that.

Hans:
My resolution is I'm going to lose 10 pounds.

Alfred:
Okay. Intentions, so much focus on the spiritual principles of working with the Other Side, of surrendering what possibilities you might imagine, trusting that the Other Side has your best interest at heart, believing that they know what you asked for, having faith that what arrives is according to your highest good, and then being grateful that which arrives, that which is in your life, that which may  not be in your life, regardless of whether you understand it or not. All of these are spiritual principles and Intentions lead us down that direction and as we've been saying time and time and time again, the simplest changes such as changing your perception about something can lead to the greatest life changes. So what we're talking about now is the perception difference between Resolutions and Intentions.

Hans:
Yes, absolutely. In your New Year's Intentions, say something like this: My intention is to love myself more this year than last year. My intention is to be kind to myself. My intention is not to find fault in myself. My intention is to find love. And again folks, remember that love comes in many, many different forms and expressions. So, let's change Resolutions to Intentions and watch how much changes between now and next New Year's. I think you'll be absolutely surprised.

Alfred:
And that's a wonderful point Hans, is Resolutions really focus on human aspects.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
Okay. And Intentions really also touch on aspects of abundance, such as the abundance of love, the abundance of family, the abundance of friendship, the abundance of joy, the abundance of peace, harmony. All of those aspects you can have the intention to have in your life. So again when you're looking at your New Year's Intentions, look at it from a spiritual perspective. Look at it as if to say: If I was a spiritual being, what would be in my life all the time? I'd be connected, I'd have a high vibration, I'd pay attention to my Guidance, I'd go with the flow. All of those can be in your Intentions.

Hans:

Thank you Alfred, that's beautiful. Alfred, I think that will conclude the lesson for today because I understand we have quite a few questions today.

“The Law of Unconditional Love” - by Hans Christian King Spiritual Radio Show Transcription GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE Radio Show

“The Law of Unconditional Love” - by Hans Christian King 
Spiritual Radio Show Transcription
GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE Radio Show
with Hans Christian King www.HansKing.com

Topic: The Law of Unconditional Love
December 12, 2014






Hans:
Hello everybody. What a beautiful day today and we're so blessed to have God in our life. Today I want to talk about the Universal Law of Unconditional Love. This is a really difficult lesson because in our world, as we go through our daily lives doing all the things that we have put in motion to do, we come across situations, we come across people, circumstances, things, that just, may I say, just tick us off, make us upset, press our buttons... a friend says something that you thought was unkind, or a parent calls and tells you they were disappointed in you about something. And it's just really hard to just say: You know what, I love them, I bless them, I release my judgment of this. And folks, when we look at the news and hear all the things that are going on every day, it's hard to remember that we're in a world of illusion that has been created by mankind. There is no reality to what is going on. It's just different people's illusions of what should be. And of course when you turn on your television, what you have is a bunch of pundits, a bunch of people who surmise they know something, that they're going to tell you how it really is. But all it is is their opinion. Nothing more kids, nothing more. Simply their opinion. So the wonderful thing about unconditional love, if we put it in our heart, is that we begin to view life a bit differently. Okay? A bit differently. We say: Oh wait a minute, I'm not going there because I'm going to get a judgment in there and that's not what I want to do. That's not where I want to be. And so, when we learn to filter the appearance of reality, we stop being bothered and hurt by it. 

I had a friend who called me recently and she was very, very concerned because she thought I had said something. What she heard was that I was unhappy with her or displeased with her. And I had her go back and read the email that she sent me about her hurt. And I paused here for a moment. I said: Where you're saying this, where this is coming from, what is that for you? Did you hear me say those words? And she said: No, I didn't. But I thought the way you had written it was that you were displeased with me. I said: Well, I'm a very big boy now and I'm capable of telling you if I'm displeased with you and I wasn't. But I wonder why you're coming from that place. Where in you, does what I was saying, turn into a condemnation? And so we sat down and we had a look at it. And what she saw was through her childhood, she had learned to view things a little bit askew because she couldn't figure out what was going on. And so her mind chatter simply made up what she perceives the reality might be. 

And there's an old saying that you have heard me say for many years that says: You see what you look for, you know. And if you're slightly depressed, or there's a dark cloud hanging over you and you're walking around with it, you will see depressing things children. You will see it. If you're slightly depressed, nothing you're doing will seem like it fits, seem like it's real. But if you stop for a moment and you say: From this day forward, I'm deciding not to listen to anything but unconditional love. I'm going to give it and I'm going to be available for it. This brings up another problem. Because, Alfred, haven't you noticed that so many people find that maybe they're not good enough for unconditional love?

Alfred:
And it's really those aspects of mind chatter, of humanness, that take us away from our spiritual true selves. It's when we are as Spirit, expressing unconditional love as our natural state, but what really limits us is the mind chatter, the humanness of fear, of judgment, of doubt. Okay? It's those areas or basically any aspects of humanness that limit us from vibrating, from being as Spirit and from expressing unconditional love effortlessly.

Hans:
You know Alfred, in the Spirit there is no such thing as depression. There is only unconditional love, not conditional love. So we actually, Alfred, come from, our resource actually, is unconditional love.

Alfred:
Yes, it's our mind chatter, our humanness that puts conditions on the love. And the definition of unconditional is there is nothing. And that is true spirituality is there is no judgment, there is no opinion, there is no fear, there is no doubt. And it is by removing those things, by doing the inner work, that you're more able, more freely able, more effortlessly able to express unconditional love.

Hans:
Absolutely. You know Alfred, for many years one of my primary teachings has been: What if you found out that nothing was wrong? Absolutely nothing. That all the pain comes out of your mind's perception of what is real. Not what is real. Because the only reality is love. The only true reality is God. And the unconditional love that you have from the Spirit World is unconditional at all times. So any time you say to me: Well, God must not love me or why isn't God protecting me... All this, all of these things, come out of a place of conditional love which is what your mind programs you to see. 

You know I had one parent who said to her daughter: You know if you loved me you wouldn't treat me this way. Well, that child grew up that way. She grew up thinking she wasn't capable of giving unconditional love. I said: No, that's just only your mother's perception of who you are and what you're doing and saying. If we all go back and we look at how our behavior from 20 or 30 years ago, we're not that same person. As we have grown, the Spirit has grown with us and brought us forward. But they keep pointing out to us unconditional love. Unconditional love. This is the key of life. Unconditional love. Not being offended by someone else's thoughts. Not offending somebody else by our thoughts. Any time we start to develop a negative thought, we need to stop for a moment and say: Wait a minute. I don't really know this person. I'm judging their behavior. But then, am I judging them as well? I don't know them. I don't know where they've come from. Native American peoples used to say: Judge no man unless you walk a mile in his moccasins. Very true. I taught you for years folks that who somebody is and their behavior are always two different things. 

Folks, spiritual opinion as given to me is: That all is perfect. All is in perfect right order. Nothing is wrong. But our mind chatter is so active in pointing out this individual, or that situation, and then trying to comprehend somebody else's thinking, which is of course totally impossible. Deal with your own emotion. Alfred used to say, back in the day, when he was beginning to develop himself... One of the things Spirit told him to do was if you want to see perfect and unconditional love, go look at a flower. Remember that Alfred?

Alfred:
Absolutely and it is the separation of your true self from that which limits you. It is functioning as who you truly are that opens you. It is removing the mind chatter that has to do with fear, with judgment, with opinion, that allows you to more freely express yourself as who you truly are – as a loving spirit. These are the paths that we try to help you with in order to be happy here, more blissful, more loving on a daily basis.

Hans:
Every time I see someone who I think is in a difficult situation, I always say to Spirit: Bless that person please. Surround them in pure white light. Help them to understand whatever lesson there may be in this for them. And bring all that they need to them that they might discover who they are and to see past this illusion for themselves. That's really, really important. I tell the story of a young lady that I met may years ago in Carmel, California and she had wanted, very badly, to design fabrics I think, some of you have heard this before, and every time she designed a fabric, it looked like a batik from Bali. And one day her grandmother, she was 17 then, sent her to see me and in the process of her reading I said: You know you have some connection with Bali. And she said: Funnily enough, you know I've always wanted to go there and she said: I'm not certain why. And I pointed out that she had some connection with artwork and she said: Well I like to do batiks and she said: I feel that there's some connection but I don't know what it is. And I said: Well you won't discover it until you go to Bali. Well she says: Well I have no money for that Hans. I think I have $600.00 in my savings account. Right now that isn't going to happen, but it could happen one day perhaps. 

Well the grandmother heard the reading. Because in those days I used to tape them. Anybody remember taping? And she heard that and when the granddaughter, for her 18th birthday, the grandmother gave her a ticket and a two week all expense paid trip to Bali. And the girl came to see me and what Spirit said to her was: Keep your eyes and your ears open with no perception of finding anything. Just go and be. Well ,she did and she still lives there today. She married an Australian boy. She began to design fabrics and her fabrics sell at Neiman Marcus... all the big stores, all around the world. And she's very famous. And she sent me an email once and she said: All I needed to do was be quiet and accept the unconditional love that God was giving me at that moment. And she said: That's what I've tried to give back. She went not knowing.

Alfred:
Isn't that one of the hardest lessons Hans? Is just not to “give” unconditional love but be wiling to “accept” unconditional love?

Hans:
That's what I was trying to say earlier, Alfred. Absolutely. It's much easier to give than to receive. Because when we receive our little boy and our little girl inside us is saying: Uh, I wonder why they're giving me this. Do I deserve this? What are they up to? I didn't ask for this. And starts to go through a whole series of mind boggling mind chatter. When you just should say: Thank you. Oh my gosh, this is wonderful! Have you ever had a little child, Alfred, give you a flower or give you a little painting that they have drawn for you? It's huge. It's huge.

Alfred:
Yes, it's not the size or the value of the present. It's that they gave it to you with love.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
And a lot of times you'll hear that about owners or cooks of restaurants is that they're not serving food, it's that they're serving love one plate at a time.

Hans:
Absolutely, absolutely. And that's what they're well known for is individual love. I knew a restaurant in Los Angeles and it's name was King's Foreign Land and it was a very upscale 
Oriental restaurant. Mr. King was a wonderful guy, he came from Hong Kong. But when you sat down, the owner would come to you and bring the chef and they would say: What are you looking to taste tonight? How are you feeling? What would you like us to do? They never had a menu. And they would create these incredible meals based on what somebody was feeling that night. That is unconditional love. And if there were a little more of it in this world we would all be better off. You see folks, unconditional love means you have no judgment. How's that for a tough one? 

I know some of the most beautiful people in this world who still suffer from judgment – the appearance of what's wrong. Nothing is wrong, it's our perception of what's going on. Alfred fought me on this one for quite a long time. I said: That's only your perception. And he would get... being a Sicilian, he would get very crabby. He says: No, I can see it's hurt... My dad was the same. He used to say to me: Where is my God? Why is my God letting this happen to these people? Filled with love, filled with compassion, but he couldn't understand pain. Okay? He couldn't understand pain. I'll tell you one thing about the lesson of unconditional love, Alfred, the reason I'm cutting this short a little bit today is because people are really thinking about what we're saying.

Alfred:
Yes, there was a lot in that lesson. There really was.

Hans:
There really was.

Alfred:
I mean it is not about loving. It is about allowing yourself to let go of judgment, let go of opinion, let go of fear, so that you can naturally be a loving soul, a loving spirit.

Hans:
That's right.

Alfred:
It's like if you're trying to be happy, don't try to make yourself happy.

Hans:
No.

Alfred:
It's you can make yourself happy by giving. Then you will find true happiness.

Hans:
Yes, absolutely.

Alfred:
Okay, so what the lesson really has to do with is shedding those things, those mind chatters, those ways of being, those habits...

Hans:
Let me go back and talk about perception. We need to shed perception. Replace it with unconditional love. Even, Alfred, even if it doesn't mean any sense to you at the moment, as long as you begin to practice it, that's what you will begin to draw towards you and that really makes the Spirit smile. And that will conclude our lesson for today.
