Topic: Faith, Trust and Belief
August 22, 2015


HANS:
Hi everybody. Welcome to the Show today. The topic for today is "Faith, Trust and Belief." You know there's an overlying fear in the world and with a lot of our people about Faith. Faith falls under a simple headline called "Do you believe." It's very simple for someone to say: Oh, I have absolutely faith that whatever I'm going to do is going to be okay... it's going to work. And that rolls off the tongue very nicely.

However, when something begins to appear that could be a bit challenging, Faith seems to begin to go out the window. And the old mind chatter, the old fears, they tend to start pulling themselves forward. And even with the best of intentioned peopled, this happens. Alfred, you've seen this in your work, haven't you?

ALFRED:
Yes. And these series of topics are meant to help with the beginning... the foundations. If I'm going to transfer into spirituality, where do I start? And one of the main topics is: Faith. Do you put your trust in something that you can't see, can't hear, can't understand... can't yet. Okay? 

The topics in this Show, and of course all the products that we have, are meant to help you understand what is Faith, what is Trust, how to hear, how to work with The Other Side. So one of the foundation principles that we're trying to bring to you is in the transition from ego based life, human based life, into a spiritual based life, is holding on to Faith.

HANS:
Very true. And you know folks, again I want to say to you, even those of you who have been with us for years and years and you're working on it, it's simple to say... not so simple to do. And I don't want anyone beating yourself up because you think you let yourself down. Being in the human form is an on-going lesson for all of us. And for all of the people I know who have been in the business, and I know a lot of people, they're still working on their stuff.

I don't know, at this time, of anyone who isn't still working on something. So it's perfectly okay to put yourself in Faith and don't punish yourself if you appear to let yourself down. Okay? That's not going to do you any good... continue to re-set to fail. We're going to talk about that as we go through this morning's topics. So you just want to continue to believe and have Faith.

And Alfred, the second topic for today?

ALFRED:
Belief.

HANS:
Belief.

ALFRED:
Belief in something that you can't see with your eyes... you can't hear with your ears...

HANS:
That's tough, isn't it? That's really tough.

ALFRED:
Belief that there's an organization on The Other Side. Belief in Karma, Belief in Your Life Path, Belief in things that don't really make sense... but they're not supposed to make sense.

HANS:
Well I think that's what Yoda said when he was talking to Skywalker, he said: You just be. Be is believe. That when you believe in what is happening in your life, you believe that The Spirit is there for you, you believe you're on the right path, things just fall into place.

You know the old adage "Let Go and Let God." That is total Belief right there. And when you do that, when you Let Go and Let God, you're actually saying to the Universe: I trust you. I believe in you. I know you have my back. I know, for a fact, that you have me on the right track. I don't second guess this anymore. I'm here so that you can be here with me.

And sometimes there are things that come up folks, you just scratch your head and say: For all the good I've been doing, how could this have come into my life? It is because The Spirit has found a little tweaking that needed to be done.

You remember those days don't you, Alfred? They still happen today from time to time.

ALFRED:
Yes. And a lot of what we're talking about today is "not understanding." And that is the truth. What person could possibly understand the totality of God and the Universe? What person totally understands their life? Why are they here? 

So, Belief really has to do with believing there is something so much greater than you, that you put Faith into, that you put your Belief into... that you are believing that there are Spirits and Guides and Angels on The Other Side that are doing things on your behalf.

HANS:
Constantly. Because remember The Other Side has a copy of our Dharma. They have a copy. So They know, more than you, where you're supposed to be, what you're supposed to be experiencing.

ALFRED:
Here's an interesting thing to believe. That souls on The Other Side know more about your life than you do.

HANS:
Yes, They do.

ALFRED:
There's something to believe in.

HANS:
Well, I'd say Thank Goodness, wouldn't you? (Chuckling) Because left on our own, well sometimes we don't do very well. 

Sometimes we are given a challenge. A dear friend of mine, her husband recently passed away, and went downhill very, very quickly. And she said she tried to hold on to her faith, she tried to believe, but she said it crushed her. When you're married to someone for 36 years, that's most likely going to happen. And she's struggling right now in believing God is good. Why did God take her husband? 

God didn't take her husband. He left at the appointed time. She's going where he went. Right now she's in a bit of anger, a bit of fear. But when she left the other day she said to me: I still believe. And that's the key. I can remember, Alfred, when you went through terrible times. And you always came back because you believed.

ALFRED:
And that brings us to our next topic: Trust. You can have Faith and Belief that there is a larger picture, a larger organization... You can believe and have all the faith in the world that there are souls watching over you. But do you Trust them? Do you Trust that what They're sending for you is for your highest good? Do you Trust that where you are is where you're supposed to be?

HANS:
Do you remember, you struggled with this?

ALFRED:
Yes. Do you Trust even though you don't understand?

HANS:
And sometimes we feel that Spirit really doesn't hear us.

ALFRED:
Yes.

HANS:
They may be listening, but do They actually hear what we're saying?

ALFRED:
Do you Trust if you pray? Do you Trust if you make a wish that They actually heard you?

HANS:
Here's a novel concept. I used to say this to Alfred. When you pray, don't expect anything. Pray because you'd like to put something in motion, but don't have an expectation that "we" think it is. Now you've seen that many times in your life haven't you?

ALFRED:
Expectations. There's a good one.

HANS:
Are limitations. 

ALFRED:
Expectations are limitations.

HANS:
Absolutely.

ALFRED:
And do you Trust that what you're limited mind, which is limitation, do you Trust that the Universe has a bigger picture? And do you Trust that what They're doing and how They are guiding you is actually better than your expectation? That's a hard thing... to Trust.

HANS:
It is, it is. So when you put something out there and you say to Spirit: I really would like to see this or that happen, try very hard to not have an expectation of how it's supposed to look. That's why I always teach you - say: I'd like the experience of the following please. Rather than say: This is what I want.

When you say: I'd like the experience of the following please, don't put an addendum to it and say: And this is how I want it to show up. No, no, no. Trust, Believe and have Faith that Spirit, knowing your higher purpose, what you're supposed to be learning, is in fact working on this at this time even though perhaps nothing shows up for awhile. Because if you want to truly believe, then know in your heart, and trust in your heart, that The Other Side is working on that. 

And I know Alfred, you've had some trouble with that from time to time.

ALFRED:
Yes. These are foundation principles. These are where you start. If there is a crack in your foundation it is hard to build higher principles... to go further in spirituality. In order to lean over, have a spiritual life, we're going to be going through some basic spiritual principles that really will help you have a foundation... things to fall back on.

HANS:
That's the key right there.

ALFRED:
Where do you fall back on? And trusting that The Other Side is guiding you to where you need to be no matter how rocky the water is, no matter how difficult the situation is...

HANS:
No matter how it appears.

ALFRED:
No matter how it appears.

HANS:
Remember, it's an illusion how it's appearing.

ALFRED:
So Trust that you're going through this for your higher good.

HANS:
So, Alfred, at what point did you go from thinking “you know” to believing “They do?” That's a toughy.

ALFRED:
Oh! It was very simple actually...

HANS:
Oh, really? Okay.

ALFRED:
I was arguing with Hans... and arguing and arguing and arguing from my educational experience... and Hans looked at me and said: Who knows more, you or God? 

HANS:
That did it. Right then and there.

ALFRED:
And then I happened to come by a quote from Einstein at the later part of his life that said: I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details.

HANS:
(Laughing) That's exactly right.

ALFRED:
So what we're trying to tell you is once you have a foundation of Faith, Trust and Belief, you can then move on to more advanced principles such as communicating with Spirit... hearing Guidance. But through these foundations and trusting... starting out with Trust that letting go... Trusting there is something infinitely more knowledgeable about your life may be one of the most important decisions you could make.

HANS:
That's very, very true, Alfred. Thank you for that. And that will conclude the lesson for today.

Topic: Living Fearless Of The Unknown
April 20, 2015





HANS:
Hello everyone. Today's topic is "Living Fearless of the Unknown." One of the things I've always noticed that Spirit does is try to teach us about how to not live in the human scene and all the fear that it generates. The Spirit once said to someone who said she was very fearful of something... And he said to her: How can you be fearful of it if you don't know what it is? She said: I don't know but I'm afraid of everything.

I think, from when we're very young, we are given things to be aware of, to be concerned about, shall I say. And we have a tendency to look a little towards the darker side of possibilities. In other-words, when a situation comes up, we have a tendency to say: Oh gee, I wonder if it's going to work, what if I get in trouble, what if this isn't for me, what if I lose my job...

So "Fear," as Spirit has always said to me, is its own food. It tends to feed itself. But learning to live a fearless life sounds so simple doesn't it? But living a fearless life means: Refusing to allow fear to be part of your mental and spiritual dialogue. The dialogue you have with yourself. Now remember, that humanness in and of itself, children, is limitation. Humanness is limitation. Humanness is only aware of what it is aware “of.” But it is not aware of all there is.

So no matter who the person is, no matter what category of life they're in, no matter what their teachings have been, no matter what they're trying to teach, all humans have a fear based mentality. So your job, being in the human form, is to learn to rise above the appearance of fear knowing there is nothing to be afraid "of".

You've often heard me say during World War II, Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed the Congress after the attack at Pearl Harbor and he said, very specifically, an old metaphysical saying: And it said: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Remember that's all we have to worry about is that when we give power to fear, fear presents itself to us. And it does so in such a way as it presents itself as "real."

Now Alfred, I'm going to ask you to step in here. Your thoughts on these particular subjects that we're talking about today...

ALFRED:
Since I've been studying under Hans for the past several years, I've learned this term called "transcending." I would have never, ever used the term transcending in my prior life that was full of all kinds of very large consulting words that I will not indulge you with... But what does transcending mean? Transcending to me means going over and above, to go past, to go so far beyond whatever you were considering, that you transcend it. 

And the way I look at fear personally is to transcend it. To say: Fear is keeping you from those things that you don't have. Fear is keeping you from all the possibilities of Spirit. And if Spirit is just pure love, pure support, the love that a parent would give a child, the love that God has for you... if that is what you don't have, then do the complete opposite - embrace it, go after it with all your heart. Fear is a human trait. Transcending fear is thinking that you absolutely deserve to have in your life the unknown.

HANS:
Well, all our potential is in the unknown. All of our potential lies in not knowing. In other-words, everything that we do every single day is based on an unknown. In other-words, you're going to go to the market... you're going to go to the barbershop... you're going to go on a trip. But somewhere in your humanness you'll manufacture things like "I wonder how the traffic is... I wonder if they'll have the item I'm going to buy... I wonder if I'll be safe in the car...".

So again, humanness, in and of itself is a limitation. Now Spirit, in and of "itself" is boundless, it's limitless, it breathes clearly, it has no sense of fear or doubt. You ever notice a very young child? Basically, they're born with no fear. My little dog Bella has no fear. She's never been treated to anything that would bring fear into her life so she basically thinks... I call her "AB" - anybody's baby... She just thinks that everybody is just there for her and is wonderful and kind and might have a treat of some kind, you never know.

This is how we should be. Afraid of what? We're mesmerized in the human form by the human condition. We're mesmerized. We believe it. It's on television. The President said so. Some journalist said so. So the way we operate in the human form is to expect that there needs to be fear somewhere along the way, caution somewhere along the way. But when you begin to walk in both worlds, when you have one foot in this dimension, one foot in the spiritual dimension, all of that fear begins to dissipate. And you begin to understand that The Spirit, again, is endless, it's boundless. It affords us the opportunity to truly transcend the illusion of your humanness.

Now people will say: Well I'm here to be human. No, you're not. You're here in human form to work through some lessons. Again, be in the world but not of it. So, you see, we're here, as Spirit in human form to work through certain things we chose to learn. One of them is: Not to be fearful. 

Any advice, Alfred?

ALFRED:
It is a choice. Just as all spiritual lessons, especially when presented by Hans himself, he presents it in a way that it is a choice. We've said many times: Here's a possibility to live your life. Not just not in fear but to embrace the unknown, to welcome to unknown, to be absolutely psyched out of your mind.

HANS:
Well isn't it wonderful, the unknown? Just think of the potential in it.

ALFRED:
Exactly. And considering that it's being presented by your Guidance, by the Universe, by all the love that the Universe and your Guidance have for you to embrace the unknown. What's the difference? The difference is you made a choice. 

HANS:
Because all of your tomorrows are in the unknown. 

ALFRED:
And it simply, believe it or not, a decision to say: I'm going to be psyched out of my mind. I'm so excited about the unknown. Or, to let... da, da, dah, your mind chatter say: No, I'm in fear of the unknown. Believe it or not, when you go deep inside, it's a choice.

HANS:
The more we surrender our human awareness, the more we lose control. And the more we lose control, the more power we have. Because when we turn loose of the way we think it needs to look, the way we think it needs to feel, and we say: I am available for that which is truly to my highest good.

We go back to what we said - that Spirit is limitless. Our associate with the Spirit is limitless. But if we hold on very tight and we say it needs this way or it needs to look that way... Then what happens is we lose the possibilities in the moment. And in the moment is everything... always. In the moment is our life. Not yesterday and not tomorrow. Right here today. So the less control, the more available we become to the unknown. And therein lies our hopes, our joys, and our possibilities.

ALFRED:
Letting go of control is just about part of every spiritual practice there is. Whether it is Buddhism, whether it's Healing, whether it's Reiki... Any type of spirituality there will be these words: Surrender... Let go... Let go of control. Okay? And part of the practice of when you decide to let go of fear is to let go of control of what you have so that you can make space within your being, within your life, for the unknown. So that you make space for your Guidance, for the Universe, to provide you things that you don't have.

So that's why it's the next step, should we say, after you make a choice is to then look at other things such as... Okay, I'm going surrender. I've made a decision to let go of fear... I'm going to let go of control... I'm going to make space in my life. That's part of the process that all aspects of your life follow through with letting go of fear, embracing the unknown, embracing that what is going to be presented for you is for your highest good.

HANS:
Yes. And you know folks, making ourself available is where Spirit can guide us to places we cannot imagine. Making ourself available for us means turning loose of the way you perceived it... the way you perceived it had to look.

ALFRED:
We cannot even imagine what "could" come into our life by letting go.

HANS:
No, you can't. By letting go you say: I trust you to God. I believe in you to Spirit. I'm willing to not have a judgment what I'm going through, what you're presenting to me now, because I "know," beyond any reasonable doubt, it is to my highest good. I know it. You see how that works? You've heard it your whole life... When someone says: Let go and let God. We hear it and we digest it. But do we ever really "hear" it? Let go and let God.

There are times in my life when every path that I was going down was closed. Every single, solitary path... And I used to say to God: Why? And I would get this rather sweet little voice that said: It's to your highest good. You just don't know it yet. But that's the truth, you see? My consciousness, your consciousness, in order to feel good about the conditions of our life try to define what it has to look. And when it doesn't look that way we suffer from something I call - lost expectations. And it's in those lost expectations that fear grows. 

Rather than saying: I don't know what's in this but I'm going to hang on because I'm dying of curiosity and I trust my God, and I trust my Guides, and I trust my Angels, and I know they're going to take me where I need to be. So making ourself available for Spirit guides us to places we can't even begin to imagine.

When I heard the interview between Deepak Chopra and Oprah when she said to him: Did you every dream this? He said: No, I didn't have the capability. And he turned to her and said: Oprah, did you ever dream you'd be... She said: Oh, no. I didn't have the capability. She said: Spirit dreamed this dream for me.

Neither one of these people... even though Deepak's father was a very well known Doctor of Ayurvedic Medicine... even though Oprah was a deeply religious individual... Neither one of them believed they would be in control of billion dollar empires... for good. It's nice to think about it. But they did what Spirit sent for them to do and the rest is history. 

I'd like to talk a little bit about how to turn fear of the unknown into a deep desire for that which is beyond our thoughts. In other-words I want to turn about turning the fear into possibilities. Many years ago, I don't have a copy of it, it could be in my library, I'll have to take a look... A gentleman by the name of Jerry Jampolsky wrote a book called "Face the Fear and Do It Anyway." That's a line from Spirit - Face the fear and do it anyway. We now have programs where people can go on zip-lines and people jumping out of airplanes... What are they trying to do? They're trying to get past their fear which has been their limitation. 

I had a dear lady who was married to a gentleman who, for whatever reason, became very angry and resentful. And she had three children and he was coming home drunk. And they got therapy for him. Nothing worked. He was just this very angry man. And one day he hit her in front of the children. And she called me... booked an appointment. And I said these words to her after hearing her story... I said: Mam, I don't understand why you're calling me. You should have already made your decision. She said: But I'm struggling. And I said: No, you're afraid. She said: What do you mean? I said: You're afraid. You're afraid to jump off the cliff into the unknown. It's time to let this gentleman go. He will be in your life forever because he is the father of your children. But that he hit you in front of the children says to you: Oh, I'm out of here. I will not live under a place that is fearful for me. She did, of course, do the right thing for herself and her children and in the end it wound up being the right thing for ex-husband as well.

When we agree to no longer be bound... to no longer being bound by  humanness, our whole life opens up. 

Alfred, let's talk a little bit about how to turn fear of the unknown into a deep desire or form... say that which is beyond our thoughts.

ALFRED:
There's something I've known for a very time that if you're in control, you're by yourself.

HANS:
Yes. If you're in control, your out of control.

ALFRED:
If you're in control, you're alone. You're alone with your thoughts; you're alone with what you think you know. The other option is to surround yourself with people who love you unconditionally, people who have your highest good in mind at all times, people who know more than you, people who are not in limitation, people who are spiritual. So who am I talking about? It's surrounding yourself with Spirit. Opening yourself up to that. That is the complete opposite of fear. If you're in fear, you're trying to control the outcome, you're trying to buffer yourself, you're trying to protect yourself. Hence, you're pushing away those people who are trying to help you.

That's the opposite of spirituality. Instead the opposite of fear is embracing and surrounding yourself with knowledge and guidance and wisdom and love. That is exhilarating.

HANS:
Yes, it is. I think what is very, very helpful for people is when they realize they have a partner in God... that they have a partner in Spirit. You know what I've noticed throughout the years is, over the thousands and thousands of people I've seen, I would say 20 to 35% of all spirits in human form, these wonderful souls of ours, believe that they're alone.

They believe there is a God, they believe that there are Spirit Guides. But they're not so certain that they have their own Guidance. They're not so certain that Spirit hears them or that God considers them good enough to listen... to hear their prayers. And I want to assure everyone here that the Great Spirit hears everything. Spirit hears everything. They know who you are before you ever came here. They're aware of you. They love you. They support you. It is when you in your need to complete your lessons get caught up in the appearance of humanness. I refer to it, as Joel Goldsmith did... the human scene. The human condition. The human scene and the human condition are about what's "wrong." Not what's "right." But what's "wrong."

And since we're bombarded daily, yearly, monthly, with this constant barrage of the media... It's interesting... Alfred no longer listens to any news. In fact, he barely watches TV unless it's something to do with auto racing. Because he found out that it disturbs his ease. It disturbs his peace. 

ALFRED:
It is, in general spiritual practice, that you want to be happy and peaceful. But going back to what Hans was previously saying is that just feel deep down inside that the family and friends you always wished for are there.

HANS:
Already there... absolutely.

ALFRED:
They are already there.

HANS:
Yes.

ALFRED:
By just a simple perception change to say: I don't have to look for the most awesome friends and family that know me deeply, who already know who I am, who already know my life-path. I don't have to look for them.

HANS:
No.

ALFRED:
They're already there.

HANS:
They're already there.

ALFRED:
And if you take that simple perception change, all of a sudden you "know" by just simply asking and saying: I need some help - regardless of what it is. Even today I'm putting back together one of the computers. Literally had to rebuild a computer before...

HANS:
And you asked. Remember?

ALFRED:
And I said: Guys, this is a little stressful. I don't want to do this by myself. Please help me.

HANS:
This is him talking to his Guidance.

ALFRED:
Reassemble the computer. Okay. Fine. All of a sudden I just put together like about 20 tiny, I can't tell you how tiny, itty bitty, these screws were. Anyway, it just "felt" so wonderful to have these people who just love me and support me and want me to do good by my side helping me do something.

HANS:
Always. 24/7.

ALFRED:
Whatever it is. And it's "that." That deep inside "knowing" which creates a burning desire to get help, to reach beyond what we know, to reach beyond our abilities, to... ready? "Surrender." And to have help doing anything. Any part of your life. It just sits inside you and just feels so wonderful.

HANS:
Yes. You're never alone, children. Always remember - You're never alone. Look at your thoughts each day. See if your thoughts are gravitating towards human awareness or spiritual awareness. Walking with one foot in this dimension and one foot in the spiritual dimension will make your life a wondrous joy.

It doesn't happen overnight people, please. But you start with the intention: By not allowing the mind chatter to find its way to your heart and to scare you. Have no fear. You are never alone.

Topic: Listening to Spirit 
March 28, 2015






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

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

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

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

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

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

HANS:
Yes.

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

HANS:
Yes.

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

HANS:
That's right.

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

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

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

ALFRED:
Especially things like: What are my Guides names?

HANS:
Yes.

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

HANS:
Exactly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

HANS:
That's correct.

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

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

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

HANS:
No... no.

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

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

ALFRED:
That's exactly the point.

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

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

HANS:
Yes. Absolutely the opposite.

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

HANS:
It's a tough one, Alfred.

ALFRED:
It is.

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

“Holiday Peacefulness” - by Hans Christian King

Topic: Holiday Peacefulness
December 28, 2014






Hans:
Hello everyone. Today's topic is "Holiday Peacefulness." One of the things that I recommend that people do is remember the excess mind chatter on this particular subject. And so before you go into an event where the people are present, you need to be very still. Sit down, be very still. And say: I choose this day not to listen to my mind chatter. I choose this day to no longer be wounded, to be hurt by past memories with this family. I choose to take today and turn my life around by accepting them just as they are. Not reacting to anything that is said, just blessing them. You don't have to say that out loud. But you don't have to respond to anything that's said either. You can always say: I choose to be peaceful. It will make them crazy. But it's very contagious actually, Alfred.

Alfred:
Okay. So Hans can you tell people how to let go of the need to fix family members? We really love our family, we want them to be as happy as we are, but what are the ways we could just let the family members be?

Hans:
What if you found out guys, all of you, what if you found out that there wasn't anything wrong? What if you found out it was your perception that was making the other person wrong? The other person doesn't think they're wrong. You do. So what if you just loved them and accept them? You may not agree with their behavior, my friends. But having no judgment is offering love, basically. So if you just love your family, with no judgment, don't try to fix anyone. Be that light you want to see in the world. Be that change you want to see in your family. And you'll be amazed when people say: You don't seem to be angry anymore. Say: No, I'm not. And they will say: Well how did you do that? I found love in my heart for everyone. And that's hard to do, my friends, because we have so many memories of who did what to who and when and who can sit next to who and who shouldn't be invited... All that stuff is humanness. All that stuff, all the anger is all humanness. That's the absence of God in your thinking. That's the absence of Spirit in your actions. Because the truth of the matter is none of them are wrong. It's your perception of what went on that caused you to have a judgment. But what you can't do is sit inside of them and listen to what they say about you and that they think you have a judgment. So by simply putting love in the place of judgment, and acceptance in the place of anger, all of the pain begins to dissipate. 

I had a dear lady client that I had known for over 25 years and she hadn't been home to see her family in 20. And she had all of these reasons about what her brother and sister did to her, what her father and mother did to her, and she had magnified this so out of true proportions that she never went back to the family and every year she didn't go back she reminded herself of why she wasn't going and she built it and she built it and she built it. And Spirit said to her: This year you're going back. We request that you go back with no judgment and only love in your heart. She said: They'll tear me to shreds. And Guidance said to her: No, only you can do that. They will not tear you to shreds. She went and she called me before she got on the plane in San Francisco, she was going to New Jersey, she called me, she said: I'll never make this. And I said: Go. She went. And she said before she went into the room she did the exercise that we gave her and she said when she went in people ran up to her and hugged her. Her mother cried, her father cried, brother and sister cried, they loved on her. We have missed you so. Where have you been? What did we do that ever made you so upset? She said: I never would have believed it. Even when Hans, you told me, I couldn't bring myself to believe it. I had caused all of the pain in my own heart. Folks, when you go to be with friends and people that you think there's a problem with, put love in your heart, put Spirit in your actions, you'll be amazed at what happens.

Alfred:
And this is what we want to get to is all of these inner peace practices. Start them during the holidays - non-judgment, letting go of the past, being an example of your beliefs, going within. All of these things we've been talking about, start them during the holidays but apply them to everybody. And that's really difficult. But if you can do them with your family...

Hans:
You can do it with anybody.

Alfred:
...you can do it with anybody. That's the point. Don't just do non-judgment, letting go of your past during the holidays. Let's talk about doing this...

Hans:
Let this be the platform for the rest of your life.

Alfred:
Exactly, for the rest of the year...

Hans:
Or for the rest of your life.

Alfred:
This is the way to give yourself the greatest gift possible – inner joy, happiness and peace, all year round. What do you think about that Hans?

Hans:
I think it's perfect because it's true. And what I'm trying to teach you tonight is our perceptions become oftentimes our worst enemies. Our perceptions become anger, fear, doubt, judgment. Our perceptions are nothing more than a filter that we have put in front of us so that we don't get hurt and we view through that. I remember, if all of you remember, the movie "Auntie Mame," for instance, with Rosalind Russell. What a fun, wonderful Christmas movie. In fact I'm going to watch it tomorrow as I do every holiday. But they decided to make it into a movie and for reasons unknown to anyone, they decided not to use Rosalind Russell but they decided to use Lucy. Now an incredible actress of her own and there's no doubt whatsoever. But she insisted, absolutely insisted, that they shoot her through gauze. And it was fuzzy and cloudy and my dear friend Hal King was the make-up artist for her for over 25 years. And he said they made it almost impossible to almost see her. That's what her perception said she wasn't good enough the way she was. She wasn't perfect. So she needed to shoot that through the gauze. 

What I'm saying to you is you do not need any filter between you and love. You already are love. You are already the best you will ever be for God. For those of you who are alone this year, and there are millions of you, this is an opportunity to remind yourself that in fact you are not alone. In fact, your God doesn't love anyone more than you as you hear me say each week. Find something to do that makes you smile. Back in the day Alfred used to say: Go find a flower and just look at it. There's such beauty in the flower. It doesn't have to demonstrate who it is, it radiates who it is. And if you're alone, it's a terrible word, I don't like that word, but if you're not with someone or a group, a family, that's the opportunity of a lifetime that a lot of spiritual people miss. The value of being by yourself during major events in your life so that you can look in that mirror. You know I used to give workshops about 25 years ago, and I would hand everybody who came to the workshop a mirror. And one of the exercises was I want you to look in this mirror and then tell me who you see. Do you know that most people, my dear friends, could not do it. And that was our opening round, that really scared them. Most people could not tell me who they saw in that mirror until one little old lady in one class said it all. Every bit of 80, and she had followed me for many, many years, and she looked in the mirror, she held it up to her face on the side, and she says: Hans, I see love. And I said: Margaret, that's the answer. I see love. Folks, when you go to that mirror before you go anywhere, or present yourself for an interview for a job, before you go home to the family that's all screaming and hollering at each other, go look in the mirror and present yourself Love. That is who you are. It doesn't matter what anybody else sees or anybody else thinks. So, in the moment, when you have it, Alfred likes to refer to it as a dysfunctional organization - your family, find the joy and the humor in who they are and the love in who you are by loving them anyway. Okay?

Alfred:
And Lord knows if you can learn to be just pure love around your family, which the majority of old souls have "interesting" families, if you can do that, then you can be love with anyone.

Hans:
Something in that wonderful thing that was written by Anonymous - somewhere in there he or she writes "If you can keep your head when everything and everyone else around you is losing theirs... " And I thought, yeah. If you can do that, you just found your peace. And folks, when you find your love, you find your peace. 

Alfred:
So the holidays are just a wonderful opportunity to...

Hans:
All around, yes.

Alfred:
... practice love, practice patience, unconditional love, non-judgment – the basics. To practice them with your family...

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
... and then continue to practice them for the rest of the year. That's what we're telling you is the way inner peace and happiness.

Hans:

Alfred, you brought something up a little bit ago that I think is really important for everybody to hear and then I came in and sort of expounded on it a little. Folks, what we're teaching you today should not be a once a year occurrence. It should be "always." Starting with I am this and I will be this and this is how I'm going to operate out for the rest of this year and the rest of my life. So use the catalyst of the holidays perhaps to broaden your understanding a little here and then carry that throughout the year and throughout your life. I want to take this opportunity to say to everyone, look forward to this New Year. Be ever so grateful of the one you just had. For many of you many prayers that you had prayed for, did come true. For many of you, some of your worst fears came true. However, remember now that it's done. That was then, this is now. And make a promise to yourself to discover more of who you are. Learn to spend a little more time with yourself. Learn to be less judgmental, especially towards people who don't live up to decent expectations that you have, like friendship and warmth and love. Have no judgment of them because you don't know who they actually are. Even though they could be your sister, your brother, your mother, your father, you don't know inside of them who they really are. Bless them. Ask Spirit to bring them everything they need to discover who they are and to make their life of value. Okay, Alfred I think that will conclude the topic for today.

Topic: Family and Friends During the Holidays – Handling Differences
December 22, 2014






Hans:
So our topic for today "Family and Friends During the Holidays." How do we handle those differences? First of all, you don't point out how wrong they are. Remember, they're entitled to be where they are, and they're entitled to have their opinions. And it's not our job, it's not your job, folks, to try to change them. Mahatma Gandhi once said: Be the change you want to see in the world. So that's what's important. Do not debate your truth. Do not try to convince anybody of your truth. If someone were to say to you: How did you get where you are? How did you become so peaceful? That's another matter. Explain it as best you can without coming from a place that says I am correct and you are wrong. Explain who you are and how you arrived at your peace, and it's from that place that they have an opportunity to grow. Not by lecturing them. Now, if somebody is ragging on you and saying:  You know what are you talking about? You don't know what you're talking about. You know here's the right way and all that... Remember what I've taught you all these years. Well, what do we say: Not my problem. That's they key. And trying to say: Not my problem, without having some guilt attached to it. Right, Alfred?

Alfred:
Yes, because they are family and that's the real issue is how can we spiritual speakers talk to them? Be there for family members, listen to our brothers and sisters, our parent's point of view, and still love them knowing they are on a different path than what we're at. And one of the most basic, fundamental, life-changing lessons is "have no opinion"...

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
...have no judgment.

Hans:
In other words, Alfred, I think what we're both trying to say is: Don't make them wrong. Let them have their own belief system. Do not argue your point. Say: Well, I love you and bless you where you are. This will drive them crazy for one thing. But it's very important that you're only there folks to help someone who asks to be helped. That's all. But you're going to have people out there in your family and in your daily life, your friends for instance, who basically are angry, who basically don't understand your point of view, or may be a little jealous of your position, or just who don't get you or just can't see you... and that could be a mother and a father or a brother.. could be a best friend sometimes. But remember something, they're entitled to their opinion and it is not our job to change anyone. Let your light shine that others might see you and where you are and there will be people who would like to be part of that light. But getting confrontational, arguing with people, trying to help, wanting them to see your point of view – that is not your problem. That is their problem. Okay? Alfred, you can remember back when during the holidays, there were family gatherings. Remember some of the dysfunction during those times?

Alfred:
Oh, I'm sure there's so many people out there who remember, or still are going through, who can show up, who's not allowed to show up, and for those people who are showing up, who can sit next to who, who can sit across from who, who has to be separated from who, and actually having a serious discussion about that.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
Yes.

Hans:
You know Alfred, when you first told me that, I have to tell you, I've never had that experience. I was absolutely shocked that your family couldn't let so-and-so sit across from so-and-so and they couldn't invite so-and-so or so-and-so wouldn't come. I was absolutely amazed. And I still am to this day that that is how people would treat this holiday.

Alfred:
But I think a lot of our listeners want to hear about how do you relate to relatives and friends that say and act in ways that are simply not truth - spiritual truth? How do you get along. Especially during the Holidays?

Hans:
Then basically you don't discuss it. If they wish to push you and they want to be confrontational, your job is to say: I love you and I respect your opinion. That's it. Do not engage them in the conversation, because they are looking to pick a fight. They want their point of view to triumph. And the only way it can is if you agree to it. And if there's no place in you to agree to it, they will give up. Alfred, you have a wonderful statement that you say to people sometimes: I love you anyway.

Alfred:
Yes...

Hans:
There's a lot of power in that statement.

Alfred:
...and that's the thing to do is to just be love, Is just to be caring, is just to be helpful, is just to be there and be helpful, be caring, be loving, be as Hans was saying, inside yourself, be that example. But just not discuss this stuff. You show the example and be the example of what you believe. As much as possible, love everyone, care about everyone, try not to have an opinion. Just smile, just be peaceful regardless of what's going on, who's arguing about what, who's talking about who, your job is to stay peaceful.

Hans:
You just brought up one very important thing, Alfred. People will try to engage you about other people. You, yourself know this in your own family. And they will try to engage you - do you hear what so-and-so did? Can you believe that so-and-so did this or said this about some... Do not engage in gossip about others, children. Because what they will say about others, they will say about you. Back away from it and always say to Spirit: Please bless them. Help them to find their way. Help them to find their light that is best for them. That's what I do folks. And folks I have wonderful clients out there, and you know who you are, who have terrible relationships with a family member. Sometimes that family member has the appearance they're trying to hurt you, trying to take something away from you. Many times because a parent or parents have died, there's an estate and oh my God, nothing tears a family up more than an estate and the rivalry that goes on. Even though you may be the most loving, caring, kind person, there may be somebody in your family who feels it's necessary to attack you and hurt you. That usually comes from a very sad and jealous place inside of themselves. But meanwhile, the appearance is they have the power to really hurt you emotionally. Always remember, no matter how hard it may be in that moment to say to Spirit: Bless that person, help them please, show them where they need to be, and let  the light shine on the subject we are engaged with, that we are involved with. Add the power of the light to it. Sometimes you don't see results right away. But over time, Spirit will bring the light, for sure. Remember light always follows darkness...always, okay? So use this as a time to rejoice the power within you and let the light of the God-force, the light of Spirit to shine upon you. So this is an important time to learn to be peaceful in the appearance of craziness, in the appearance of dysfunction. You know this, right Alfred?

Alfred:
Yes, is not to believe what is going around, not to believe what other people say, not to fall into the trap of getting sucked into "drama." What someone supposedly did, what someone supposedly said, your job as a spiritual soul, is to be "peaceful," is not to have anything that's going on around you knock you off your center. Again one of the most basic teachings we've been going over, especially on this show, is what someone else says or does is not your problem.

Hans:
Is not your problem ever...

Alfred:
...it's if what someone else says or does, does knock you off your center, that is your problem.

Hans:
Absolutely Alfred, that's correct. What someone thinks about you is none of your business, but what you think of what they think of you should be very much your concern.

Alfred:
Or anyone... or your cousin, or your parents, or your uncles, or your aunts or your friends...

Hans:
Yes, it doesn't matter who it is. Exactly...

Alfred:
...whatever anybody says or does...

Hans:
...has nothing to do with you.

Alfred:
...about anybody else. It doesn't even have to do with you, it could be your brother's in a fight with an uncle, it's your mother says something about your cousin...

Hans:
Exactly. You know Alfred, a while back I was talking to a dear lady and she said to me: You know Hans, my mother said this and that about me and only the other day she said: Well, I was right, you're never going to amount to anything. And she said: This has wounded me so badly. And I said: Why? She said: Because of what she said. I said: But what she said has nothing to do with you. She said: Well, certainly, it was directed at me. I said: No, it wasn't. This was not a statement of who you are, angel. This is a statement of where she's at. No, they're two different things. Separate yourself from somebody's else's rage, separate yourself from somebody else's anger or opinion. It has nothing children, listen again, this has nothing to do with who you are. And there are times when it appears that God doesn't see us, God doesn't hear us, the Spirit has abandoned us when these people run amok and start hurting us. But therein is the lesson that you chose to learn. That lesson was to learn to rise above the appearance of the difficulty of the sadness. To be better than to be identified with that sort of behavior. Because again, as Alfred and I are pointing out to you, it has utterly nothing to do with you.

Alfred:
And notice what we're talking about here. Is we're talking about very basic spiritual principles. What we're saying is: Treat your family, treat your friends like the way you treat anybody else.

Hans:
Yes.

Alfred:
The issue that we've seen year after year after year is people think well, they're family, these spiritual principles don't apply to them. Of course they're going to love me. Of course they're going to care. I don't understand why they're being mean. And that's where you get yourself in trouble...

Hans:
That's exactly true. You get yourself in trouble.

Alfred:
...is you apply these basic principles to your family and friends just like you do to  anybody else.

Hans:
You want to talk at this normal level. You want to be involved with them at the new level you've found. But they can't hear you, folks. They can't see who you are. So don't try. If somebody comes out from the shadows and said: I don't exactly know what you're talking about, but it feels good in my heart. Would you mind explaining a little to me? Absolutely, go for it. You can help anybody who asked to be helped. But if somebody has a judgment and then says: Help me. Don't bother with them. Don't bother with them folks, move on. Let your light shine. Let your light show you the way. Because there is no relationship on earth that is more precious to you than you to you. That's the gift that God gave you. Because inside of each and every one of you lies the power of the God-force, lies the power of the Spirit – you are connected at that level – always. And the only thing that can bring you down is your own consciousness. That's all. 

Alfred:
And one point I'd like to tell everyone... Well, what is that confusion, what is the feeling when you get confused to say: Well, they're my family. Of course they're supposed to love me. Of course they're supposed to support me. Of course they're supposed to be generous and loving and kind. And what happens to you in that internal conflict when they're not? What is going on here when you say: I don't understand this. They're supposed to be family and they're not. And so many of us get torn apart because something inside says: Well, they're supposed to be supportive and loving. How come they're tearing each other apart and being mean? 

Let me explain this in a very simple way. For those of you who are spiritual, you will find that inner deep “knowing” that your family and friends should be loving and caring and supportive and generous and always there. Okay? If they, themselves, are not spiritual, then it doesn't apply. However, what it does apply to is your family and friends in Spirit. They love you unconditionally. They are always there for you. They are there to support you and to guide you. And that is one of the hugest benefits of doing Automatic Writing is you form a relationship with those family and friends that you thought should always be there. And that's part of Intuitive Development is to get you a stronger relationship with those family and friends who are in Spirit and who understand: Yes, that's the way you're supposed to behave. You're always supposed to love everyone. You're always supposed to care. You're always supposed to be supportive. And that is what comes through when you form a relationship with your family and friends on the other side. Why? Because they're in Spirit. So if you have that instinct, and you're being torn apart, you have to realize the simple fact - those family members who are not spiritual, are not going to act that way.

Hans:
Alfred, do you remember any number of years ago when you finally heard the message that you are now giving others, for yourself and your family? Do you remember how things began to change?

Alfred:
Yes.

Hans:
When you stopped being hurt by actions from your family? 

Alfred:
Yes, and there's so many things that seem like basic spiritual teachings in this lesson, but if you go through and actually apply them, your life will change and these basic spiritual lessons of: Not my problem. Just be peaceful. Have no judgment of them. Just be loving. Be peaceful. This will change your life. I carried hell with me for 24 years about my family - how they abused me, how they abandoned me, how my life was ruined because of them. And then one day I woke up and said: Oh, that's not true. And all of a sudden, all that hate, that anger, that disappointment - dissolves.

Hans:
Absolutely.

Alfred:
Because it's not the truth. The truth is, it's not your problem, it's their problem.

Hans:
That is right. And kids, when you get that, and Alfred's about as thick-headed as you can get, sorry Alfred...

Alfred:
It's the truth.

Hans:
It's the truth. (Hans laughing) He's about as thick-headed as you can get and for him to get that... I watched his demeanor, I watched everything about him soften. And I watched the anger begin to dissolve. And I watched him have a resolve to not be hurt by this anymore. And folks, for all of you, there's going to be times when a mother or a father, a sister or a brother says and/or does things to you and deliberately intends to hurt you... It could even be a legal action, and deliberately intends to hurt you, defend yourself legally, but don't take it personally. That's the key. Don't let the statement of somebody else disturb your ease, disturb your peace, okay? Alrighty, I think that will conclude the lesson for today.
