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.

Topic: Fall Cleaning
October 24, 2015


HANS:
Hi Everyone. Today’s topic is “Fall Cleaning.” As many of you know who’ve been with the show for the last five years, my favorite season is fall. People say to me, “Why? It looks like everything’s dying!” That’s exactly why I love it so much. It’s the end of a time; and what is happening is all the old that doesn’t work anymore begins to… fade away. This is the time of year I ask you all to sit down and make a list of all the things you don’t want to participate in your life anymore. All the things that don’t work for you. Things you’re not willing to give energy to anymore.

Why do we do that? The same reason that trees shed all their leaves because new growth can’t grow where old growth is. So they have to drop their leaves, prepare to go into hibernation. Clean themselves up inside, drop the sap, and rest. And then as we get towards March and April, they begin to slowly resurrect themselves. You can do the same thing, but you don’t have to wait so long. This is the time of letting go. One of Alfred’s favorite topics is letting go.

ALFRED:
Yes, actually we have a little saying that has to do with: no two things can be in the same place at the same time.

We’ll pick an example, we get a lot of clients asking us about relationships - you’re in a relationship that’s not working, and you’re asking God - where’s my new relationship? And the most common answer is…

HANS:
...you have to let go of what you’re holding onto first.

ALFRED:
Spirit needs to see your intention, your desire, your trust. Trust, that if I let go of what I have, I trust the next stage is going to come. Hence the example of the tree letting go of its leaves - it trusts instinctively it’s going to get new leaves.

HANS:
It knows that. It’s internal. What we need to do is be more like the trees. When we make the list of the things we choose not to participate in anymore, we’re saying to God, I trust that you have another plan. I’m going to let go of what I’m holding onto now for dear life, in the knowledge that it doesn’t work for me anymore. In the knowledge, I’m going to clean myself up, I’m going to get ready for my new beginning. You see? So, in my world, letting go is gaining.

ALFRED:
Which is the opposite of what your mind tells you. It’s the time we start talking to you about mind chatter. What to look for in mind chatter when mind chatter tells you, “No, you can’t let go. What happens if you can’t get anything else and nothing else shows up?”

HANS:
Oh dear, what a painful life that could be. 

ALFRED:
So I don’t want to let go of what’s causing me to be miserable, because I might not have anything. So as soon as your mind chatter tells you I can’t let go of what I have because I might get something worse, or I might not get anything or anyone, you say, “At least I’ll be peaceful.”

HANS:
Yes. The tree goes into a peaceful time. We live here in Asheville, North Carolina, and we sit in the middle of the trees and we see baby trees coming up, we see the tops of older trees, but they’re all doing the same thing, no matter what the age of the tree is - they’re letting go. And that’s the key folks, trust and believe.

The tree never wonders if it will spring to life again come next year - never! It let’s go of it’s leaves; some of those leaves may have a fungus on them, and so the letting go cleans the tree up. When a bear goes in for hibernation it never wonders whether it’s going to wake up in the spring, it knows it. When we begin to let go of the things that don’t work in our lives any more, as Alfred mentioned, the mind chatter gets very active. What do you mean? You can’t let go of this? This is all you have! When you’re hanging onto a relationship that simply doesn’t work anymore, when you’re hanging on for dear life, are you hanging on because you love the person or are you hanging on because you think that’s all you got and will ever have?

The tree knows to let go of the leaves. You don’t see the tree trying to hold on through winter with it’s leaves on. We need to also believe that when we let go and we’re willing to move forward in the light, all of our dreams suddenly are made possible.

ALFRED:
And that brings us up to topic number two. What happens after you let go?

HANS:
If you’re in human form you often go though the “Oh my God, what have I done!”

ALFRED:
Mind chatter comes up again and says, “Get him back!”

HANS:
Folks, I cannot tell you how many times I’ll be in a reading with somebody and they’ll say, “Hans, do you think I can get him back?” And I will say these words, “Well what happened to all the pain of before?” 

“It’ll be different this time.”

No, it won’t. Let it go. Love the person you’re letting go, bless them, let them go, and that’s it. Know that Spirit will take them where they need to be and will open the doors because at the end of each show you hear me say - always remember, kids, God doesn’t love anyone more in this world than you - and God’s not loving that person less than God is loving you just because you have an opinion of what happened to the relationship. It’s only your opinion. That’s all it is.

ALFRED:
So after you let go, what’s in store? What happens then? That’s what we call the void. What’s the void do? It creates space. 

HANS:
It creates a vacuum. We all were taught in school that a vacuum cannot exist, something comes in to fill the void, the vacuum. Your job as spiritual beings in human form is to make the void good. Make it wonderful. Don’t make it a challenge. It’s peaceful. The void is a peaceful place.

I have a rocking chair out here on my front porch that looks directly at the trees and the forest. I go out there in the morning with my coffee and I sit down, and in that moment I become one with the trees. At that moment I see squirrels, woodpeckers, voles, chipmunks, we’ve got a mama bear now with four cubs, and I become part of all I see.

ALFRED:
So it’s in the void you become clear about what you want in your life. What you don’t want in your life. What you would like with your life. You can work on cleaning other areas of your life, making sure there’s a nice clean place for the next stage in your life.

HANS:
One of the things that Spirit teaches us, Alfred, is that we can’t create a masterpiece over a masterpiece. We have to be willing to take the masterpiece we have and go hang it on the wall and start from a blank, clean place. And that’s what the void is.

ALFRED:
That’s the way a painter loves to work. The way Spirit loves to work is when they come in, a blank space. When you’re learning to channel you need to be a blank space. When you go into mediation, you search for a blank space. You are happy when you are peaceful and there is a blank space in your life. So actually having space in your life is a positive; not just for spiritual growth, not just for letting go of the things that don’t serve you anymore, but because you’re making space for the next stage in your life - whether it’s a relationship, a job, or whatever else is going away - you’re making space for the next thing to come in.

HANS:
And it always comes in. So what you want to look forward to in the void is the nothingness. That’s the key. You have an opportunity in cleaning out the old. There is an opportunity to discover the self buried under all the minutia, all the stuff you’ve piled on top of your heart, piled on top of your spiritual being. You’ve just covered it up, covered it up. There comes a time when you can say, “Oh, there you are! I forgot you!” 

And so, you come in with nothing and you go out with nothing, but in the meantime, this quiet beautiful space of you exists outside of the mind - the mind chatter - so the fall is the time to begin the renewal process of our soul.

And that will conclude the lesson for today.

Topic: Being a Seeker
September 12, 2015

HANS:

Hi everybody. The topic for today is "Being a Seeker." In the Bible, it says: Remember that a Seeker findeth always. A Seeker findeth always. 

What is a Seeker? A Seeker is someone who has learned that their life is a bit of an illusion and wants to see beyond the illusion... wants to see what other experiences... how they might expand their consciousness... how they might become someone other than who they are now... because time and society has molded them into a certain character, a certain mold. 

And they're looking to see what else there might be. That is why our belief system is growing so rapidly around the world... especially here around the United States and Canada. Why? Because people are looking to go beyond the norms. They're looking to expand themselves. Alfred, you went through the Seeker phase, didn't you?

ALFRED:

Yes. It's when you start realizing that the paradigms, the rules, the ways of being, that are meant for all people, may not apply to you as an individual. And that's the big thing about spirituality. Spirituality is you are are individual soul with an individual unique body with a unique life-path, a unique karma, a unique set of previous lives that led up to this life. Your experiences are going to be unique. Thus, the rules that apply to you are going to be different for you. 

How they apply to you are going to be different for you. The ones that you decide to follow, the ones that “fit” your incarnation for this life are going to be unique to you. Thus, what we say, is: A Seeker is an individual finding his or her own unique path in this life.

HANS:

Growth path... Exactly, exactly. So when you reach a point that you say: This... whatever "this" is for you... This doesn't work anymore for me. I'm not feeling comfortable in this. I'm not feeling comfortable in what I'm doing, I'm not feeling comfortable in how I'm spending my time. Okay? All you have to do is say to Spirit: I seek a new beginning... I seek a new beginning... and I set my intention to look beyond the limitations I have allowed others and myself to place upon me. I now seek a larger experience. 

I remember a gentleman that I knew who was a fabulous computer chip designer... recognized by his peers. And one day he said to me: I need to look beyond the bowl I've placed myself in. I feel like a goldfish in a bowl. And I think you've all seen that commercial on TV that goes around today, where the goldfish jumps out of the bowl, and they put it back in the bowl. He said: That's how I felt... that he couldn't breathe anymore. 

He was not able to know even who he was. He knew what he could do, and he was very good at what he could do. I said: Well, what do you want to do? He said: I want to live in Hawaii and have a Center and teach. That's what I want to do. I knew it for a long time. And coming from where he was, he would require a partner to help him to do that. And one day, in his 60's, that partner, she came along... and they both shared the same vision. 

Today, that person and the partner have a Center in Hawaii doing very well and they're very happy. How did that happen? Because he set his intention to serve. He set his intention to be the Seeker he always wanted to be and he stopped looking backwards to go forwards. So, a Seeker says: Yes, I can. Yes, I am. You've had that experience before, haven't you Alfred?

ALFRED:

Yes. And basically what we're talking about here in being a Seeker is you really have two choices - to follow what society says, what your education says, what your parents say, what your family, your friends, the television, the media... to follow "that," which are generalizations meant for everybody, and look for your life in that way "or" to seek alternative ways of thinking... alternative perceptions, alternative ways of being.

We do our best to present to you through this Weekly Show, these Topics, our Products, our Classes - to present to you a lot of different perspectives to help you decide what are you going to follow, how are you going to think, how are you going to be. 

HANS:

When you decide that your existence doesn't serve you any longer, then it's time to say: Oh, who locked my door? And the truth of the matter is - that you did. You put yourself in the box and locked the door.

ALFRED:

Yes, and that's where it starts is the choice.

HANS:

It's their choice... Exactly.

ALFRED:

In this topic it is a choice to follow what society in general follows, or the choice  to seek an individual path.

HANS:

That's right. I have another lady friend of mine, who some years ago, she was a Massage Therapist... very well recognized with a very good practice out in Palo Alto, California. She didn't have a lot of money. And she said: Hans, I want to move to Hawaii. But I couldn't possibly afford to do that. I said: No,  you couldn't. So you won't get to go. 

She said: Well, why are  you saying that? I said: I'm not, you are. You're saying that. You're saying you can't afford to go. Spirit isn't saying that. I said: Since when is Spirit not your bank account? She went to her grandmother and she got a little loan. Her name is Hilda. And she watched for the best priced ticket she could get and off she went to Maui. 

And she met someone on the plane, a nice young lady, and they got to talking back and forth.. and it went along... and the short of it is she became a Real Estate Agent. She went to school, she did the massage therapy, she worked in one of the major Hotels there, she earned a living. And now she owns at least 10 or 15 properties, she's happily married, she's living in Maui, and the last time I talked to her, she said: Hans, a Seeker does find... always.

So I think what's important for all of you to understand is you all need to become Seekers. If you listen to the lovely questions that Alfred and I get every week, you can hear in the "asking" the wondering if things will change... the wondering if you'll be okay... the realization that your life often times isn't going in the direction you would like it to go. 

That's when you sit down and say: Enough... enough. You get your friends around you, I'm talking about your Spiritual Friends everybody, sit down with your beverage and you say: Oh, time for a new beginning. You see?

And the minute you say that, Spirit starts the disconnect of what's binding you. They don't look at your dharma and say: Oh, well she can't do this because of that... and she'll never be able to do this because of this. They don't do that. They say: Oh, she gets it. The Seeker is now "aware”. And that's what I want all of you to become is a Seeker who becomes "aware."

Alfred, that's what happened to you... you became "aware."

ALFRED:

Yes. You become aware that you have a choice. And that's where it starts.

HANS:

Absolutely.

ALFRED:

You have a choice to follow all of these things that everybody tells you you should follow. I don't care how much you paid for your education, I don't care what your parents' background is, what they firmly believe, what your family tried to drill into you, what the television, the media tried to pound into you - it all starts with understanding "you have a choice," "you have alternatives," and you make that choice.

HANS:

You know you say something here, Alfred, that I think is very important for people to hear. You kept saying in your speaking right now "you have a choice." Do you know that most people don't know that?

ALFRED:

That's why we're saying that.

HANS:

That's why we're here.

ALFRED:

I didn't know...

HANS:

No, you didn't...

ALFRED:

That's where it started. I didn't know I had a choice. I didn't know I had a choice. And so now we're going to be talking about our second topic which is: What is the choice? What could you seek? What is that alternative? What is a Seeker seeking? 

You can make the choice to say I don't believe the rhetoric... I don't believe the media... Something's just a little weird with what somebody's telling me. What is it? What are the things that you can seek once you make a choice?

HANS:

Anything... anything. Don't we love the story, folks, of people who are born in the life in abject poverty and they struggle and they work and they try to get an education but they always know they're better and bigger than what the  circumstances tells them they are... whatever circumstance they're in. They work hard. And one day, magic appears.. magic. 

And, I've said this for years, if you go and read any biography or auto-biography of any person you think is well known, famous, whatever... somewhere in the book, these words will appear, maybe not in this order, but they will say: And I always knew it.

That's called: Setting your intention and being a Seeker. They always knew. There was no room for doubt. None. Anything that came into their life that was a problem... Oh, this was something that the resolve is already on the way... the fixing this is already on the way. So they never looked at being a Seeker. They never looked at the blocks as a block... they looked at them as a possibility.

ALFRED:

And that's what we call "Truth." What is true for you? What is true for your life path? What is true for you as an individual? What are the experiences that you wish to have in this incarnation? Those things, you'll “feel” inside. They are not things you can think, memorize, understand. No. That's the other side. What we're trying about is the side of you that can feel what is right for you, as an individual.

HANS:

Yes. So what can happen to you if you're a Seeker? Anything you want. There is almost no dharmic roadblock or lesson that is ever designed, or karmic debt, that is ever designed to keep you off your path and keep you from your dreams. That's all humanness... simply humanness. 

So when you become a Seeker, you say: I believe. I believe. I don't know how, I don't know where, I don't know when, but I believe. And when you do that, when you set that intention, when you become that personal Seeker, the truest and the greatness of your purpose is drawn to you - always. 

Alfred is now getting his book underway. That's going to be published. He's got his wonderful "Business in Spirituality” Seminars going. It all started when I said: What do you want to do? He said: I want to teach. That's what you're doing.

ALFRED:

Yes.

HANS:

You went from working in a bank to being a Spiritual Teacher.

ALFRED:

Yes, and a lot of that... what we're going to be talking about, starts with not just a "choice," but then the belief is that there is something more than what is obvious. What is obvious is in the human realm. What is obvious is what your parents tell you, what the TV tells you, what your education tells you. That's "obvious."

HANS:

I call that "program limitation."

ALFRED:

Yes, that's humanness. 

HANS:

That's humanness.

ALFRED:

What we're trying to tell you is to believe, to surrender, into something that is "not obvious". What is not obvious is what is for you, in your specific path. What is true for you, for your specific life. And that takes Faith, Trust and Belief and a lot of Surrendering. We have another topic on "Faith, Trust and Belief". But what we're talking about is, first to make the choice, and then to surrender into that.

What we're talking about in "choices"... For example, is you can try to follow what everything tells you in Western education, Western media, which is you get what you negotiate, you get what you control. We're saying: You have a choice to surrender, to let go, to work with the Universe, to let your life flow in the direction it's supposed to flow. 

That is a choice. You don't have to control everything. You don't have to manipulate. You can simply “Be.” See, that is one of the choices that we're talking about here is to go in the opposite direction in order to find your unique path and that has to do with surrendering into things you may not understand.

HANS:

Thank you... appreciate that. So yes, you too can be a Seeker. You have to set your intention. And above all things, my friends, you must "believe" that when you set your intention, Spirit is standing beside you and you say: I would like the experience of this... I would like the experience of that. A Seeker is someone who says: This life I'm living does not represent who I am. I'm living in an imaginary world that I created... that my parents created... the schools created. 

I remember one thing that Alfred used to talk about a long time ago, is all the education he had to get just to be the Banker. It was a huge amount of education. He had double majors... in what was it?

ALFRED:

Double major in Economics and Business and a Graduate Degree in Business. 

HANS:

And he's teaching Spirituality.

ALFRED:

Yes.

HANS:

And if you think that was easy for him to get to... You see this white hair here? (Hans laughing) It's not been easy friends. But one thing he had was intention to Seek. And that's what I want all of you to have is the Intention to Seek. To seek a greater you, a greater experience, a happier you, a joyful experience. Anything you want, you can create. All the great teachers have always known this. We're only limited by our own imagination - period. That's all. That's it. We're limited by our own imagination. Yes, you can; and Yes, I am.

And that will conclude the lesson for today.

Topic: Gratefulness

May 2, 2015

HANS:

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

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

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

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

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

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

ALFRED:

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

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

HANS:

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

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

ALFRED:

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

HANS:

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

ALFRED:

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

HANS:

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

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

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

ALFRED:

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

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

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

HANS:

Exactly.

ALFRED:

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

HANS:

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

Topic:  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?
