both them legs of yours! Sir, We're here. Thank you, sir. Pardon me, Miss! May I ask you something? I'm trying to find
Sanri Elementary School... <I>Pardon me.

Miss...
Pardon me...</I> Damn girl!

Ay, nice to meet you. Please fill out these forms... And I'm gonna need a copy
of your birth certificate, diploma... Huh? My name's Yang, Eunhee
Nice to meet you.

K-Kang, Suha. Good to meet you. Have you two found places to stay? Very quiet. A lot of light.

The best room in this house. This is the only room you've got. Great! I'll take it. Wonderful.

You must be starving!
Go on and wash up! First job after Teaching School, so how old are you...? Twenty-one. Why do you ask? It's like seeing me,
only ten years younger. It only takes a second to end up an unmarried old man
in this godforsaken village! Why are you still single? It takes two to tie the knot. I'm sure you'll meet someone...

What? What's the use?
You don't have a turntable! I've got some root wine stashed away. Unpack and come on over. Good morning. What's with you two? Go on, get going..- Good morning.

- Good morning
- Kangjoo Please walk Nanhee to school. The most important thing
is to respect your elders. Respecting your parents
getting along with your friends and following the rules... Who the hell! So happy that I'm not your
homeroom teacher anymore, huh? We'll see about that next year.

What you laughing at? Oh! Fuck! You little punksl! Attention! Bow! Good Morning! Thank you, students. She still thinks
I'm her homeroom teacher. Go over there and have a seat. Before we begin...

Quiet. Quiet! Who's baby is that? Young lady, I'm speaking to you? It's my baby brother, We don't have a babysitter. Before we begin everyone... Kangjoo! Granddaddy's got your lunch box.
Where'd she go? Sir I'm Kangjoo's homeroom teacher.

Oh, teacher sir.
What a fine job you're doing here. Kangjoo got in trouble with her mama
and didn't get any breakfast. Grampa, I ain't hungry! Go home! Kangjoo! Get over here and take it. Scholastic achievement is not everything.

Just as you all have different features,
you all have different talents. Being scholastically gifted is
only one of thousands, millions of gifts. What I want from you is... Class precept - An Accord - You lowlife moonshiner's bastard.
- Fuck you asshole.

Hey you two! - Stop that this instant!
- Hey, let go of me, dickwad! You had to go poop now! Ooh, look! You guys stop it! He's got the stick! Stop it, stop it, stop it! Jesus, Christ!
Damn lowlifes! This isn't your living room! Mr. Kang Let me tell you one thing. You spare the rod
and the kid goes rotten. You have to kick some asses in
the beginning if you want a peaceful year.

Well... If you treat them like people... I mean maybe the force
won't be necessary. That's theoretically correct.

Theoretically. In reality, you have take
one and show them what you can do. They won't mess with you
after that. Isn't that right? Hey, they're getting away.

Stop right there! Hongyeon! Let's play! I'm too old for you runny nose babies! I'm Dootae's dad. Please come on in! Here you go. How's my Dootae? I hate to brag, but he's a winner. If I can be of any assistance.

Please let me know. Talk about needing assistance. Such an ancient Auditorium,
this an age for reconstruction, right? There isn't much,
but please help yourselves! Mr. Chung, huh, huh? What in God's name are you doing? Ow.

Got your monthlies? An official welcome song to
the new teachers of Sanri! The young village girl by the Cherryblossom
pond has run away to Seoul. She done thrown away her bucket and hoe..." Hongyeon Mama's going to town for work. Wretched girl. What in heavens is going on here?!! I wanted to teach them
that school is a fun place.

A place worth coming to... The classroom is not a playground. What about next month's
provincial placement exams? I understand your intentions. But you mustn't disturb
neighboring classes.

Oh, were we that loud'? No. I, I thought you were
having class outdoors. I thought it was a chorus. What?!
I thought it was an earthquake! Uh oh, look who walked in.

Are your their homeroom teacher? Aren't you Hong...Dan? Oh, right. My name's Hongyeon, not Hongdan. Yoon, Hongyeon Oh right! Sorry, I haven't learned all your names yet. That's all right.

I understand. What are you still doing here? Ah, I left my lunchbox here. I see. Well, get on home now.

Oh, Mr. Kang! Please, let me. Oh, that's OK. It's Saturday.
Why are you still here? What about you? I wanted to correct
some compositions with the kids.

These 5th graders have
the grammar skills of 1st graders. Many of their parents
are illiterate themselves. I heard most of these kids end
their studies after 6th grade. To be practically illiterate
would be a shame.

It doesn't seem like
the rain's going to stop. Mr. Kang, do you have an umbrella? I wanted to major in music,
but my parents wouldn't hear of it. So, I settled for just
listening to a lot of it.

Have I been babbling on about me? No! I like music too. But this place is so far from town. It's hard to buy any new records. I have some LPs.

We could swap from time to time. Mr. Kang, you're twenty-one, right? Yeah... What an age to be.

Why do you think you're too old? Not yet but I'm already twenty-five. Twenty-five is a ripe age for a woman.
We're already here. My place is this way. I'll walk you home.

No, that's OK.
It's just right here. It's raining too hard.
You'll catch something... Miss Yang, here take this umbrella... No just share it with me next time.

Of course... Oh yeah! The LP! Elp... <I>eln...?</I> Hey, stop fooling around. Hurry up! Where she gone off to now? Hongyeon! Sir, does this work? Everything I fix works like a charm.

More like a scream! Teache - Nanhee! You live here?
- Uh huh. Ooh... How pretty. Now, Where's the newspaper...

Oh, Mr. Cho~ Yes... Could you please help me here? Yes, ma'am... Oh, Mr.

Cho. Hold on a sec. Journal Time Class, I got a look
at your compositions. Everyone tried very hard.

But you all s_till have
many grammatrcal errors. So I got this idea. _YOL_J will have a chance
to wnte In your Journals everyday. Aahh, come on!! Do you want t_0 be someone
who can't even wrlte a decent letter? No-o-o! Then, you must listen to what I say.

Now, now, settle down. You must write
in your journals everyday. Don't wait until the last minute. OK? Yes, teacher! If you do this well,
I will tell you stories about Seoul and other fairy tales.

Tell us now! OK, just one for show. I'll tell you the one about
the young man that got married to a... Once upon a time... The full moon always makes me so sad.

I wonder if teacher's
looking at the same moon? What's with you girl?
Actually doing homework! Ay, Suha Just put
your laundry in the hamper! No, that's OK, I've got it. Oh no. What if your students see you? It's all right. I can do it.

For heaven's sake, go on,
go for a walk into town or something. No, that's OK. Go on in. Go on in.

Teacher told
a really good story today. He's such a good storyteller... Our teacher is so generous. Other stu_dents envy our class
because thelr teachers are monsters.

I can't wait until tomorrow,
the night is too long. - Good morning.
- Hello. - Hello, Miss Yang.
- Good morning. Good morning.

They drift like snowflakes... Smell the scent of flowers... Look at eachother and smile Teacher pinched my arm today. I was so surprised
and turned so red.

I felt so strange walking home. Why did he pinch me? What does it mean?
I can't understand. Three times eight is twenty-four... Three times nine is twenty-seven...

Excuse me. Mr. Kang! Have you seen Miss Yang's class? Miss Yang! Come over here! Miss Yang! All the other students are busy cleaning,
why's your class getting haircuts? We've finished
our spring cleaning, sir. You haven't waxed
the floors, they must shine! It's clean.
Why does it need to shine? The school inspector
will be here tomorrow! Is he coming to inspect the floors? No, that's just common courtesy.

Mr. Choi, I'll take full responsibility
with regards to the floor. Now if you'll excuse me,
I've got hair to cut. Wait a second! Miss Yang! That pigheaded little...

Mr. Kang! Are you waiting for someone? Teacher, why did you pinch me? I can't forget it. I think about it when I study,
when I walk home. Teacher, what did it mean.

Please tell me. I think and I think
and I can't figure it out. <I>Mommy, mommy!</I> Why you despicable girl! <I>Subtract twenty-three wens.</I> Add ninety-four wons. Subtract twelve wons.

Hongyeon, are you feeling all right? I'm fine. It's fine for a boy to pee
from the living room. Why do boys get all the break.
I hate boys. I really do.

But ma only takes his side
because he's a boy. Anyhow, I feel better now
that I pinched him real hard. I hate our rooster. The hen lays the egg and
he crows like he did all the work.

I hate him... School's no fun. I'm sick of my friends. What's the point with school.

What's the point of graduating? Mongdol, didn't you bring any lunch? Here have mine.
Something I ate for breakfast... I'm not very hungry. Here have it. Yoon, Hongyeon! Answer me when I call you! Yes Why aren't you eating? I'm not hungry You should eat something.

I'm all right. - Hongyeon
- Mr. Kang! Here you are!
I've been looking for you. <I>Go on...</I> Aren't you sick of
boardinghouse food? I brought some side dishes,
please try some.

No, I'm fine. By the way! Please have
your kids clean themselves before the annual physical exams! When I think of Ivlongdol last year,
I still lose my appetite. Raise your head. Come on kid, go.

Clean under your fingernails!
What are these, your toenails? You eat 3 times a day
not even a toothbrushing? Mongdol!
When was your last shower? Where's Hongyeon? Hongyeon?! 83 You're maturing into a woman! Yes, just a minute. - Miss Yang!
- What is it? We're here to take
the class' stool samples! Go ahead! I listened to the LP you lent me. Connie Francis' "My Heart Has
a Mind of Its Own" is quite good. I asked a friend of mine
to send it to me.

He made such a big deal.
Well, I'll lend it to you. When I get it. Thanks. Thanks.
No, I should thank you.

Elp... <I>eln...?</I> I can't do it. It's not coming out! Try harder. Or else, a week of bathroom cleaning! What about you? It's not coming out
because I went this morning.

Does anyone live near Hongyeon? Did Hongyeon tell you
she would miss school today? Oh, did everyone bring a stool sample? What's going on? Teacher, it's Nanhee...! What's wrong? Hongyeon's absent again! Teache I-[ongyeon's not
coming to school ever. Why, what's wrong with her? I don't know.
She just doesn't want to she said. What's she doing then? Just laying on her stomach all day. Why, is she sick? What's she doing? Nothin'.
She just lies there like a frog.

She's just playing hooky. How much further? We're almost there. Yoon, Hongyeon, Teacher's here! Yoon, Hongyeon, Mam! There is bicycle-man Ay, Teacher! What brings you all the way here. I don't know what's got into that girl.

Why won't she go to school. She's driving me crazy! Ma'am, where is she? She was here a minute ago.
Where is this wretched girl? She's hiding in the back. What are you doing there? Hongyeon! Why've you been absent? Why're you behaving like that? OK, kids. Go on home now.

Ma'am, could I talk to her alone, please? Sure, sure! Mr. Kang, if she don't listen to you,
give her a good beating! Hongyeon! Look at me. I came all the way here
and you won't talk to me. Didn't you hear your mother
telling me to beat you? But I would never hit you...

Hongyeon? But you must come to school. I've been very worried about you. I thought you were sick.
Even in an accident. _Well, I'll expect you
In school tomorrow.

It's not the same without... Wow, these cherries sure are ripe. My heart is beating,
you're the only one who knows... Some girl student of
yours left them here I asked her name, grade,
the works but she didn't answer.

A big girl I might add. Come closer... Thanks for the cherries. Here, let me help you! No, I've got it.

- It's too heavy for you!
- No, I'm OK. Come on, let's go. I can carry it. Someone will see us! So what? No.

You go ahead. Geez! Ladies and Gentlemen.
Prepare yourselves for the time of your lives! We're not fake medicine men, We don't ruin your white skin
with poisonous potions. We give you laughter and tears... My Drince How can we forget
our parents' war by running away'? Who's there? Is that you, Hongyeon? Hello! What are you doing there? Are you here to see the play? Aren't you scared?
Sitting here alone...

Hongyeon? I'm not scared. Really? Have a seat. That sure is a full moon! Hopgyeon,
were you waiting for someone? No? Why are you laughing? You're so foolish! Darn mosquito... You scared me! It's just...A mosquito! That's one big mosquito! Serves you right! What, serves me right? What if someone sees us...

All right,
let's get going. I'm tired. Stop moping around and
go see the play or go home. I'm gonna turn in.

Ready~ Run with morn
Run with Mr. Choi Good Hongyeon! Run with Principal Hwang Oh, Mr. Kang! Miss Yang,
what are you doing here on a Sunday? It's my turn for weekend duty. What are you doing here...? Well, that <i>is...</I> Here it is!
I was just getting into the plot.

I'd left it here.
School Administration What's so interesting about that book? It's got its virtues. It's quite interesting. Actually, I wrote a song. - One more song...
- Uh...

Mr. Kang... Miss Yang. <I>I just...</I> Kang, Suha + Yang, Eunhee = baby They hugged, they hugged,
he hugged from behind What if he really did hug her? If he did, he's a fool.

I don't ever want
to see that fool again. Doesn't he know she's an older woman,
an old maid at that? She's supposed to be twenty-five. But she looks much older. She's probably seven years
older than him.

How could he hug
such an old woman like her. He's a fool. An idiot... She seems to wear
too much lipstick.

She seems to wear
more powder these days. I guess turning thirty does that to you. Well make-up can't make up for old age. Trying to look young to a man almost
ten years younger than her.

Pretty sad. Does she really think she can marry
a man ten years younger than her? She should marry someone older. He should know better. He shouldn't even think about
marrying such an old woman.

Every time I see her fake
made-up face, I feel terrible. Why'd she have to come to
our school. Why isn't she married. I hate her...

Mija, did you take my shoes. Are these it? Do you know
how expensive they were? Hey let me try. Here, let me, let me! Hey, give me that! Do you guys know what this is? Mr. Kang, come here.

Isn't this yours? They totally destroyed it. I swear, it wasn't us. What? You little rascals...
I saw you with my own eyes. You liars! - We swear!
- We just picked it up from the ground! Why you lying little punks! Oh my.

I'm so sorry! I should have given
it back to you sooner. This LP was for you... It's my fault for
not disciplining them! No, that's not it!
I shouldn't have just left it there... I'm sorry.

Hello Stop eating them! There isn't enough for lunch. Girl, they're hungry too! Take your shoes off.
This room isn't the playing field. They're new. Do you want lunch or not? <I>Ma...</I> Don't you think
rice-rolls aren't enough? You're not the only one
packing your teacher lunch? How 'bout one of our chickens! What?!! What is it a picnic or
a presidential dinner? I wanted to wash my face...

I didn't know you were here. Honest! ' Mr. K
\ Yeggg? - About the record...
- I told you it was OK. Don't worry about it...

You've really cooked
a live chicken before? My family's been running a restaurant
for over 1O years. Piece of cake. Miss Yang'? There is an odd rumor going around. Have you heard? About us.

That we're going out Have you heard? Yes, I have. I'm OK with it but I'm worried
about your reputation... There's even graffitti in the bathrooms. I know, I've seen them.

What should we do? It's just rumor amongst kids.
Don't worry. Well.. Yes, I know that. Wow, it's hot.

Go ahead... Well, actually... Over there! Isn't that Hongyeon? Hongyeon! That was close! Weren't you scared? The waves were really strong... It's a good thing I could swim.

Aren't you cold? I'm fine. Thank you for everything. I love you more than life itself.
I truly love you Eunhee. I fell in love you
the first time I saw you...

No! It's too obvious! - Good morning.
- You look nice today. Ay! All dressed up,
What you have a blind date today? Miss Yang has resigned today
due to personal reasons. She's leaving for San Francisco
with her fiance. She's only been here a year.

Ay, look at you! You stink. When I heard that
Miss Yang had quit, I was ecstatic.
I almost clapped out loud. A woman should follow her husband. I was so haDDy, I even enjoyed
cleaning the classroom.

It seems that Mr. Kang is upset. He should be happy for Miss Yang. How funny.

She will make a great wife. I wish her happiness. What's with this girl.
Carrying on like this by herself! Pass. Pass.

Pass. Pass. Yoon, Hongyeon... Fail! Pass.

Let me borrow it. No! What now? It was a birthday present,
and he keeps asking for some. You didn't bring any? My morn said to borrow some. Where're your crayons? My older brother
took them to school.

Please share yours with him. All those who aren't prepared
raise your hands! Whaddya need? By any chance... Oh, Mr. Kang, is that you? Ahh, I told him to
leave again and again...

No closing remark today. Bumho, please come to the Faculty Room! Are teachers here a bunch of punks. Beating kids up and
ripping up their ears? What have you done to him! Ma'am, please calm down.
It's not what you think. Calm down? How dare you! You hurt my kid and you
ask me to calm down? You want to be crippled too? Please ma'am, let me go.
There are kids here! I'm gonna kill you! You've met your match! You can laugh about this? Talk about ignorance.

This is no way to
treat her kid's teacher. It's all my fault. Sorry you had to get involved. That's OK.

Well be careful, it's dark outside. - Uhh... Teacher...
- Yeah? What's an elp? It's not elp It's called an LP. You play it on here and
muslc comes out.

Yeah. This was broken. I meant to throw it out... Oh~ Oh~ Oh~ - Only you~
- What are you singing, girl? You sound like a squealing pig! Why don't you study for a change.

You're really gettin' on my nerves. Hey, mister, hey mister. Can she borrow it? She'll give it back. Good girl.

Where's the King of the Sea? That's Dootae... Where are the servants? They were here a minute ago. Good? - Give it to me.
- Stop fighting. FIRE! Teacher! I can't find Nanhee! Nanhee! Nanhee! No! Teacher! - Where on earth were you?
- I went poo-poo.

BUMSOO! Outta my way, boy!
It's my baby in there! A teacher must continue learning
in order to teach his students. What do we know, We've just lived
a little longer than they have. Tomorrow's the beginning
of Spring break, aren't you excited? Yes!! Today... Today is our last day together.

- Aren't you glad?
- No!! I hope you'll still recognize me
if we ever meet by chance. YES! I heard you girls get all shy and
hide when you see your old teacher. No way! Then you'll greet me
even after you all get married? YES! We'll see about that. After you all get married and
get really old, we'll see about that.

You're really leaving? It's not much. Just a train ticket to Seoul. Oh, no. The rice is burning! You're really leaving? Maybe...

I'll become a farmer. Hongyeon I just feel that I'm too
inexperienced to teach anyone. I've got a lot to learn.
You do understand, right? I'll always remember you. Hongyeon...

Teacher, don't leave.
Don't go! Don't go! Where're you headed? Into town to the
bus station for Seoul. You're in luck!
I'm headed for Seoul. I'll give you a ride. Teacher, this is from Hongyeon...

Are you going or not? Teacher, don't go!
Teacher, don't go! Teacher, don't go!
Teacher, don't go!.

Take a seat, take a seat Where have you been? Did you go to shop for things? Let me tell you. I was looking at my phone as I was walking. What do you want to order for a drink? What about a cup of coffee? Kopi O! We already prepared the drinks earlier (Lim Ru Ping joked about) Many thanks. Let me tell all of you a piece of good news.

My block originally has new citizens and immigrants, but now more has arrived. They are really nice.   They are really nice. When they are free, they will cook and bring it to share with all of us.

I liked their dishes so I asked them for the recipe. So today, I have come to the market to buy the ingredients and learn cooking from them. You know how to cook? You are one of those who do not cook. That is why I told you that I am learning.

I am still learning as I age. I will give all of you a treat after I have mastered how to cook. The thing is whether you all give face. Of course we will.

The chance is here.When? At my block, the 9th floor where I am staying, we are having a gathering. Everyone there is harmonious. Everyone is involved, contributing and sharing. How do you contact them? Thats easy!  Everyone has IPhone and Whatsapp.

Wow, she even knows Whatsapp! You are so smart. My husband asked me what Whatsapp is, I responded by telling him Whats up. Let me show you, I have ten over calls but I have no time to answer. In the past she does not even know what Facebook is.

I taught her then but now she knows more then I do. My neighbours at every level of my block have Whatsapp.  So when there is a celebration or events, I will contact them with just a click on my phone and all of them will be informed. Those who are interested will simply respond through Whatsapp.

We take turns to organise such gathering.  For example, this time round the 9th floor is organising and the next time it will be at the 10th floor. She is so fortunate. The neighbours staying around her are really nice.She always has good neighbours.

Let me tell you, it is because I am someone who is easy going.  Yes, you are right. We reciprocate favours. Yes and we should not discriminate people by where they are from.

Whether you are a Singaporean or a foreigner,  when we all live together in Singapore we are a family. We should all be helpful to each other. Now, I need to do my groceries shopping. After that, I will be going for my event Oh ya , remember what  you have promised me.

You ladies remember to invite Ong Sir along to drop by 9th floor for our gathering. Okay I have to go. Wait a second. Didnt you mention something about your employee the other day? Oh, is it something about labour issue? You did not manage to hire someone? It is not that I couldnt hire one.

In fact, a lot of the businesses are experiencing the same. This is known as labour issue. Singaporeans always feel that they want to do more and think that foreigners are here to compete. However, when the job is too tough they (Singaporeans) will feel that it is not worth working.

They demand a great deal such as an air-conditioned working place, short working hours and high wages. And even want their bosses to submit to them. If not, they will complain and complain. This is where we as employers of small business feel the strain because it is difficult to hire someone.

Hence, many small businesses closed down. Those that have long operating hours are decreasing it so as to accommodate Singaporeans. But if we were to hire locals, their wages will need to be high.  That is where problems come in.

When employees wages are high, prices must to be increased.  Just like how the plate of rice on the table is more expensive these days. You have to tell such issues to the MP. So MP, you know what to do.

We trust that you will do the right thing and be able to handle it (Laughter). Ok, I will make a move now. I will learn how to cook and give you all a treat. Bye..

Til the storm passes over, tip the thunder sounds no more. Til the clouds roll forever from the sky.  Hold me fast, let me stand, in the hollow of thy hand. Keep me safe, tip the storm passes by.

Farther along we'll know all about it. Farther along we'll understand why. Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine. We'll understand it, all by and by.

Faithful to death said, our loving master. A few more days to labor and wait. Toils of the road will then seem as nothing. As we sweep through the beautiful gate.

Farther along we'll know all about it. Farther along we'll understand why. Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine. We'll understand it, all by and by.

We'll understand it. . . .

All by and..... By (hold) :).

[Music] [Mr.Master Key Intro] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] A very warm welcome, everybody! Thank you very very much for being here today. Thank you, Harald, for the opportunity. Thank You, Thomas, for the wonderful introduction.
I would like to ask you something now. I know it's gonna be difficult: if you can, please take your shoes off.

If you can, please loosen your collar and your tie, and please, if you can, do not use your mobile phones. Why? Because what you pay attention to, you become conscious of. And the next hour and a bit maybe an hour and a half are going to be very intense and will expose you to subjects that you will probably be new to. And before I come to the Master Key System, which I.

Have been dealing with intensively for the last ten years, I'd like to take you on a little journey through a number of subjects that are very very important in your personal development. Why? Because the Master Key System occupies a certain niche. It's a logical, rational explanation for the creative process. In other words: how we get it from wish to fulfillment.

But, there's another aspect to it which has been grossly neglected; it's an aspect that we have not been exposed to at school, at Church, at University, and probably also not at our workplace, and that's the aspect of who we really are, because we all have been programmed. We know who we are as a person but we do not know who we are as a being We do not know - in most cases - how we have been programmed, due to the fact that we were born on a specific day. Because based on that day one can tell a lot
about what our strengths are, what our weaknesses are, and also what our karma is, In other words: where we have to add a little more consciousness, in order to create balance, because karma is cause and effect, something that has been caused in the past, and now we're living with the effect. So allow me to take you on this journey, and we'll be starting with a problem; and the problem is our calendar, because our calendar is the dead center of our consciousness.

Because you know that you had to be here on a specific day at a specific time. And maybe tomorrow morning, 9 o'clock, you'll be somewhere else, and on the 31st you have to pay your taxes. So our calendar revolves around physical objects; the Earth moving around the Sun - a majestic motion year after year after year. Now there's nothing wrong with that.

The problem is that this linear movement does not reflect the development of consciousness. Consciousness, as you will agree with me, develops exponentially. Especially in the last couple of years we've seen an acceleration, and we only have to look at our mobile phones, at our computers and laptops to see that in action. But the problem is that we, as human beings, we do not have a guideline, a reference, that we can refer back to for the development of our consciousness.

A couple of hundred years ago, the Mayans built pyramids, and in these pyramids they encoded certain things, like: 91 steps, four sides, one plateau, 365 days. Not only that: they put 9 levels of consciousness, the evolution, the accelerating evolution of consciousness into that. And not only that, they had seven days and six nights, 13 is the number. In between those nine levels of consciousness, there's an acceleration of the factor 20.

Remember the number 20; remember the number 13. The Mayans - other than us - had 17 calendar systems - 17! They had one like we have, 365 and a quarter days. [ You can, and I not want to repeat myself, you can have this presentation later on. Please pay attention! It's very very very important what you're learning now.

] So they encoded this in their buildings. The calendar that they used - or that we use - they used for taxes and for harvest, and that was the only purpose of the Haab calendar! But they also had another calendar system called the Tun calendar, and the Tzol'kin calendar. We're going to look a little bit into that, but have a look at this pyramid: for the Mayans creation started 16.4 Billion years ago, into seven days and six nights periods, and each period was 1.6 Billion years long. The next period was only 820 million years long and you can see that it fits perfectly into the last day, and each of the subsequent periods fits perfectly into the seventh day of the previous period.

And then you see an immense acceleration of consciousness. And within each period things became a little more complex, so you see the Mayans were tracking this kind of stuff already, and they knew that at some stage in the future for them - from their perspective - things would come to a culmination, and that was at the 28th of October 2011, because for them creation then had served the purpose to make us conscious co-creators. Unfortunately, we went there with all our religious fervor and killed them, and obviously there was swift rebuke and revenge, because until recently we didn't know about their calendar system. Have a look at this: there you can see it in 3D, and at each period, each of these levels, things became more complex.

Action, reaction. Stimulus, response. Stimulus, individual response Similarities and differences. The mind.

Reason. Law. Power. Ethics.

And each one accelerating tremendously. And they put this into their Tzolkin calendar, a calendar count of 260 days. Have a look at this: and there you see the beauty of it. Number 1.

When you see the number 1, everything is begun. Everything starts with the number 1 in our calendar system, and in our numerical system as well. Number 2 is then in the play of opposites. Number 3 is in movement and communication.

Number 4 provides stability in order to overcome obstacles And we have this symbolically in the square. Number 5 penetrates to the core of things; it's the quintesssence. Number 6, we have this beautifully in the number, number 6, heads towards smooth development. Number 7 considers and heeds ethics, something we have almost completely forgotten, that ethics plays an important role, because Number 8 is brought into harmony, and we have again this beautiful number 8, harmony.

9 Moves towards completion. 10 Is manifested. 11 Is changed and improved, because after manifestation you have something and you improve it, and you change it. And after improving and changing it, then you understand it.

And after the understanding, once you understand it you want to elevate it to a new level of consciousness. There's the number 13 - seven days and six nights. But now look at this, how beautiful this is - check that! And they have symbols, like the crocodile, the wind, the night, the seed, the snake. And it was purification of our emotions, clarity of thought new perspectives liberation from emotional and mental bonds vitality, rhythm of life transformation and conversion open locked gates and roads beauty and abundance balance and forgiveness cosmic justice.

And this they put into their calendar, and I will show you this now, the next 10 signs, check this out: Merging human and spiritual levels, recognition of our life-path and development etc etc. So they had this, and they put this into that: because check this here at the bottom, there's number one: it's rich life, abundance and centerteness ...Will be started today.
The calendar only exists in German, unfortunately, but bear with me... So now it's started, and then we go through a period of 13 days; it's always one of the thirteen tones and one of the twenty signs; and they move a asynchronously; And you see what they have been paying attention to, and we all learn by repetition, and they've been repeating this, and after 260 days - 13 times 20 - after 260 days the same tone and the same sign were once again facing each other, and then the whole thing starts over again, and over again, and over again. Allow me to go back, and look at this: They've been paying attention to the purification of emotions; to clarity of thought, to new perspectives,
liberation, vitality transformation, beauty and abundance.

And our calendar system draws a blank, a blank on each of these things, a blank! We know nothing about this! And this is why we have so many problems these days, because we are completely out of sync. We do not do the right things in order to resynchronize ourselves with the intention of creation, and the Mayans knew it, and all we had to do is kill them. And destroy their calendar systems, destroy the culture. It's tragic, but it wasn't tragic for them, it was tragic for us, because because we killed ourselves in a way, and now we're trying to get out of this again, and this is a beautiful thing, and I urge you,
[ Please do not take photos; you can have the presentation.

Please pay attention! It's an unique opportunity to really be introduced into these systems. ] And then it ends after 13 days. You see the two bars and the three dots, it's the 13th day, and the system starts all over again. And then there's another thing: beautiful! I just came across this.

A young Russian woman introduced me to this, and she said: "Helmar, once you read those books, your life will never be the same, and you will never see people the same way again." I said "wow!" That clearly aroused my interest, and I looked at the playing cards. Look at the playing cards! You all know the playing cards. How many colors do we have? 2. Right.

How many decks do we have? 4. How many cards do we have? 13. How many moons do we have in a year? Women know this... 13.

We've got the months, means the moons, but we only have 12 months for means of calculation, because it makes it easy, because 12 can be divided by 12, 6, 4, 3, 2 and 1, whereas 13 can only be divided by 13 and 1, so that's bad for repetition, but it's good for consciousness! Now, if you multiply 4 decks by 13 cards,  you arrive at? 52. How many weeks in a year do we have? 52. Thank you very much. If we start with an Ace, Number 1 and the King number 13, what's the number, the sum of it? 91.

Thank you very much. 91 Times 4 is? 364. What's the Joker? The value of the Joker: 5/4, one and a quarter. 365 And a quarter: a solar year.

Beautiful! That's amazing, and they've found out, whoever's devised this system, they've found out that all the 9s share a common trait: they have to give, but the (9 of) Spades is different to the Clubs, and the Hearts is different to the Diamonds. The Diamonds give values; the Hearts give love; the Spades have to work, and the Clubs give experience (knowledge). And the 9 is completely different to the 5 or to the King or a Jack. And we use these cards to play, but we know nothing what's behind it! Consciousness, initiation, and you - each one of you - can be slotted into one of 53 different categories.

52 Playing cards and the Joker. Anyone born on the 31st of December? It's the Joker. No one? Nothing can be said about the Joker, because the Joker can go in any direction, and that's the role it also fulfils in the play, in the cards. Amazing! Absolutely amazing! And each one of you has a birth card, each one of you has a planetary ruling card.

And why am I telling you all this... Because using this system, you can understand who you really are. You can understand your strengths, and you can understand your weaknesses, and you understand what's your purpose in life, why you are on this planet, at this particular
moment in time. That's magnificent, and it still gives me goosebumps! And it's once again tragic that none this is taught at school.

None of this is taught at Church. None of this is taught at University. None of this is taught unless you actually look for it. We all run around like headless chicken.

We wanna do good in life, we want to develop, but we have nothing to hold onto, and this system, whether it is astrology, numerology, or the cards systems helps us. Now check this: I could go into this in detail, but I don't want to. The Tarot cards. The Tarot cards were fought by the Church; the playing cards were taxed and forbidden when they're first came up, and the Tarot cards can also once again be split into a system of seven, with the left column being the system of the mind, the center column the cards 8-14, the system of the body, and then the system of the spirit.

With the cards 15 to 21, and each one - as you see in the rows - first comes the matrix, then comes the potentiator, then comes the catalyst, then comes the experience. After the experience comes the meaning; then comes the transformation, and then comes the Great Way, and even here there's a logic in that sequence! Magnificent. Magnificently devised by people with a consciousness way... Much greater than ours - much greater! And then there's another system...

Who knows about the chakras? Give me a hand... Who knows about the chakras? Okay, give me a hand who doesn't know about the chakras! Who doesn't know about the chakras? It's the majority. The chakras... Chakra is Sanskrit for wheel, turning energy, transforming cosmic energy onto a level that we can utilize.

And once again the chakra system is a way of initiation, to let us be firmly planted on the ground and have our head in the skies. A beautiful system where we can balance each other - or ourselves out. Check this! Wow! Each chakra has a place. Each chakra has a name; chakra has a color; each chakra has an; an endocrine gland; has certain aspects; has a planet, an astrological sign; has sounds.

Each chakra has a virtue; has a tarot card; has a Schssler Salz, tissue salts; has frequencies; chemistry the alchemistic system from calcination to coagulation sits in there; it's sits in there the musical scale; each chakra has a quality; an element that's blocked by a certain thing, and that can be freed by something else. And if we are afraid, our root chakra is blocked, and then... So we can't really move forward, because they build on top of each other. Go to the second chakra, the sacral chakra, is blocked by guilt.

And the solar plexus - you'll hear about the solar plexus in a couple of minutes when we come to the Master Key System - is blocked by shame and judgement. You can also free them. Beautiful! As a precaution we have installed fire extinguishers in the translators' booths, because they are really smoking down there! I can see the smoke rising up. You guys are doing an awesome job! [Applause] Thank you, muchas gracias, vielen Dank! Magnificent systems, initiation, they allow us to combine our earthly existence with our connection to the universe, to the Infinite, to the non-physical.

Magnificent! So if we are afraid of anything, we can free ourselves from that by courage and conviction, and if we feel guility, then we block our sacral chakra, which is about creativity, which is about sexuality, and our generation has huge problems in that, also because we have been poorly educated as far as that is concerned, and then we come to the solar plexus chakra, blocked by shame and judgment. And you can free it by letting go of disappointment, and you cannot be disappointed anymore, if your solar plexus is strong and active. Strong and active! If your inner sun is shining! Who knows about the solar plexus? Give me a hand! Wow! This is your inner Sun, my friends! This is your inner Sun, and if you're inner Sun is out, you are out! If the outer Sun is out, we are out collectively. So, it's so important to let your inner Sun shine.

It's your inner gold, and if your inner Sun shines and radiates energy, you become attractive; you become magnetic, and then you attract people and circumstances into your life, that make your life easier, and the most important aspect of an active solar plexus is: you don't give - excuse my French it's actually English - you don't give a shit anymore what other people think of you; what your intentions are; where you're going in life. It's completely irrelevant, because you know who you are, where you're standing in this life, as well as how you're expressing yourself beautifully! [Applause] So so important! [Applause] And you will see, you will elevate your own Being onto a completely different level with the Master Key System. And all this is the Master Key System, because this is teaching us
different things, new things, all this is teaching is to look deeper, to look beyond. Not to be satisfied with the status quo, but look beyond, and learn, and understand, because behind all this is numbers, behind all this is structure, and structures and numbers is order and harmony, And that allows us to continue in life! Magnificent! So talking about this, check this: "For him who has conquered the mind the mind is the best of friends, but for the one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy." So life is about the development of mind, because mind is the powerhouse, but then again we have a problem, because we are operating through the conscious mind.

We are operating through our five senses. What we can see, what we can smell, what we can taste, what we can hear, and what we can touch. And all this is relative. Coz something can be dull, it can be colorful.

Something can be close by - near; it can be far away. It can be up; it can be down. Everything that we perceive through our senses is what stands in relation to something else. That is very very important to understand, because once something has been created, it's relative, because it's got a name, and because it's relative, it's got a name, it can be changed.

So this allows us to change circumstances. The understanding that everything that is, has come from somewhere, and can go somewhere else. Anything! Your state of health; the financial well-being - and you know more about this than I do. Your partnerships.

Anything can be changed. If you pay attention to the right thing. If you change the polarity! And we'll be talking about this in a moment. But even science has gone into this, in a slightly indirect manner, and has given us the beautiful system of holography or holograms, and I would like to explain to you how holograms work, because this is magnificent; because it will trigger the right neuro pathways in your brain and you will develop understanding.

Check how a hologram works. You've got a laser, which is light that in step, in phase, unlike light that is like this, one that goes out in all directions, there's light in phase, sent through a semitransparent mirror, goes on to another mirror, goes through a lens, and then falls onto this photographic emulsion. And then the other half of that laser is reflected. It goes through a collecting lens, falls onto a mirror, falls onto the object and then onto the emulsion, so on that emulsion you have an interference pattern of a beam, that is the reference beam, that has nothing to do with the object, and you've got the beam that has something to with the object, in this case the green star.

So, the one that has nothing to do with the object, and will never have anything to do with an object directly -  that's God. And the other one is us; that's the relative side of it. One is the absolute side, one is the relative side, because without the Absolute, there wouldn't be anything relative. So when we develop this emulsion, and then send the beam through a diverging lens, then we see that three-dimensional object in space.

And now the magic happens: when we cut that emulsion in half, then we don't see the right side on the right side of it, and the left side on the other side, but we see the entire star. And if we cut out the corner, we still see the star, but the only difference is that the star in the corner is a slightly more blurred version of the entire picture. Why? Because the entire picture, once again, that's God; that's the interference pattern; that's the sum of all the possibilities. And we are an individualisation of this great thing that we call God or Universal Consciousness, which has slightly less information on it.

We're not so clued in, and what we do with the development of consciousness is that we develop - so to say - from the small piece in the corner to maybe half or even bigger. So we enlarge our interference pattern, so that we can choose from more options. That we can choose the right options, make the right choices, and develop beautifully and harmoniously and abundantly in life. That's why we're here, and we're all here to understand this, and we're all here to lay claim to it, and we're all here experience it, and not just have as a theoretical construct in our mind, but actually live it! That's why we're here today! [Applause] Let's move on...

The Master Key System... Charles Haanel, born in 1866, died in 1949, had several businesses was at the end of the day an author, wrote five books; The Master Key System was the first, published around 1912, 1916. And then he wrote four more books: New Psychology, and Mental Chemistry, A Book about You, and The Amazing Secrets of the Yogi. He had a broad spectrum of knowledge that he put put together for us, for us to benefit from.

Absolutely magnificent! I don't know what's coming next... Well, here what I said... It's a scientific explanation for the creative process, and there's a picture of him, and he had this beautiful quote, a bit long to read, you can read this: "Any man with a knowledge of the possibilities contained in the Master Key has an inconceivable advantage over the multitude." Why? Because not only do you have the knowledge, but you have the skills! You can go to seminars until the cows come home, but until you acquire knowledge and apply that knowledge, sorry... Acquire capabilities, and apply those capabilities, or those powers, all knowledge is a theoretical construct, and is of no use, because "use is the condition".

You have to use it in order to benefit from it. Let's move on... The Master Key System is a practical canvas or wrapper for the 7 Hermetic Principles. Now give me a sign of hands, who knows about the 7 Hermetic Principles.

Wow! My dear friends, the 7 Hermetic Principles are the absolute friggin foundation for your entire life, and the life around you, because they are, I hope they come, yay, there they are! Mentality, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause & Effect and Gender, because the universe is a mental creation. God is a mental construct. We have created that in our consciousness. Everything corresponds to something.

You've just seen as in the chakra tables, that there is a corresponding aspect, a corresponding endocrine gland, a corresponding tarot card, tissue salt etc allocated to each of the chakras, allowing you to look that up, to use that to develop consciousness around it, to create harmony in that field, and to allow yourself, to harmonize yourself from the very bottom from the root to the crown. So there are the 7 Hermetic Principles, and I can talk for hours about them. The absolute foundation of our life, because everything corresponds to something else. Everything is vibration.

Everything you see here is vibration. Polarity. Everything has polar opposites. I just told you...

You know once something is created there's a polar opposite. There's rich, and there is poor. And there's healthy, and there is sick. There is strong, and there's weak, but they are both the same, because this is just...

This is just an absence of that, so poverty is just an absence of wealth. Disease or sickness is just an absence of health, so there is only a difference in degree, but they are essentially identical. Then there is rhythm, we have the seasons. Remember: four cards, four seasons, four elements: earth, water fire and air.

And the rhythm we need, because rhythm balances, because if we didn't have rhythm, it would be very extreme, and if something goes very extreme, it goes pooof!, So we need the rhythm to make things... Not manageable, but palatable in a way. Very important! The rhythm... And then we've got Cause and Effect; that's karma.

What causes are you setting? What thoughts are you thinking? What seeds are you sowing with your thoughts? Are you consciously co-creating, or you are just a product of your programming, the way you've been brought up, what was taught to you in Church, maybe written in the Bible, learnt somewhere else? What causes are you setting?  Are you really consciously thinking about the causes that you're setting with every word you say? Because you've two ears and one mouth, so that you can actually hear what you're thinking. Because what you're thinking, what is your predominant mental attitude, comes out of your mouth! But most people just open their mouth and something comes out. They don't know how negative that is; how non-beneficial that is for their future, because that basically determines what comes next, and that's why it's so important to be motivated, so important to have energy! It's so important to be awesome, but it's equally important to shut the fuck up, and be quiet. Right? And you know why? In German there's a saying: "In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft".

(There's power in repose.) And only when we go into the silence, when we quieten our mind, and when we slow down our thoughts, and when we drop slowly from the beta state into the alpha state, and even deeper, theta, delta, gamma... Then we get into a conscious connection, because we are not dead; we're still conscious - into conscious connection with the Omnipotent, because everything that our future is made of comes from there. Everything that our past is made of, it comes from there, comes from the non-physical. First it existed as a thought, somewhere written down in a book holy or not so holy, and if you don't seek the silence, you will just continue doing what you're doing, and in the silence you allow yourself the opportunity to reconnect, to bring order into your thoughts, to bring order into your breathing - very important...

Also something not taught at school, not at church, not at university, not in your business - how to breathe properly. All of us breathe too shallowly, and not deeply and not rhythmically. And the Indians of old age they knew this, because they knew that it makes a difference whether you breathe through the right nostril or the left nostril. The right one connected to the Sun, the left one to the Moon.

More energy? Breathe through the right nostril. You want to calm down? Breathe through the left nostril. Pranayama. Alternate breathing.

If you do practice yoga, you know what that means, and if you
don't, please practice yoga, because it gives you breath control. Very important! Let's move on... This is complex, so I made it simple. Simple questions, or simple points.

Simple questions: the first one, Mentality, is: Who takes the decision? And if you do not take the decision, that decision will be taken for you, because you are not taking the decision... You become submissive... You become passive... You become negative...

You become female... And then the decision will be made for you. What is it related to? Remember the chakra tables! Then... Where am I? Where am I? Vibrating, creating, my life...

My life experience, and: Which way am I going? Am I moving towards wealth? You are all moving towards wealth by what you're doing! Are you also movingtowards health? What's your state of health? What did you have for lunch, because garbage in, garbage out, right? And I'm afraid to tell you, you're not here to eat dead animals... Yeah, we've moved beyond that [Yes!] You want to elevate your level of consciousness! Thank you... Right, and these are our friends, they also develop, and just as much as we are developing our consciousness, they are developing their conciousness. They also want to be elevated, but not by us eating them, but helping them become human, because that's the next level of their evolution, just as much the next level of our evolution is something non-physical, because life continues.

Very important! So our responsibility extends way beyond us, as a little cog in a huge machinery that we call life. When is the best time... Sorry... Which way am I going? Again...

When is the best time? Rhythm tells us then there's a good time for something, and that same time is bad for something else. So, developing an understanding of rhythm helps us to do the right thing at the right time. Cause and effect: Why am I. Doing it?, And Gender: How am I behaving? ...Because each of us has a male aspect, and each of us has a female.

The male aspectis important; that's the "chakka!" Aspect, the solar plexus, that's the aspect that gives you the fire, the passion, the determination to change circumstances in your life. But you can't do this forever. You can't do this... "Chakka!" Is good for a couple of minutes, and then you go quiet again.

You can't go with 250 on the Autobahn, well in Germany you can do this, but for how long? 2 Minutes, 5 minutes? Not a chance... And then you have to slow down again, so after becoming male dominating, directed, purposeful, ...You know... You've made the decision that you're going in that direction - this is your goal - then you have to go back again and become receptive, [makes buzzing sound] ...Antenneas out, or aerials, ...Absorb information - that's the female part, the passive part. Learn! Understand! Create! That's the female part, not the male part.

The male part is science, But the female part creates; we have this in our biology as well. Wonderful! The system of... ... The Hermetic Principles, for which the Master Key System provides -like- a practical wrapper.

And then there's is something that we also don't know, that is: the interaction between our conscious mind and our subconscious mind. I have previously alluded to that already, but just briefly: now we're going into the detail: this is the Master Key, the first chapters of the Master Key System. We all have been programmed: Family, education, religion, socialization, culture, the media, propaganda,... I mean, these days is propaganda! Who really informs you objectively these days? They're all biased, and it's all garbage most of the time.

Well, it can't be all garbage most of the time, because either it's all garbage, or it's all time. And some of us have been here before, and some of us will come back. [Pointing to reincarnation.] So we have these wrappers around us, that have programmed us, and that have prevented us from understanding who we really are, how awesome we are, and then we are God among gods. We've been told to fear God.

We've been told we were born in sin. The origin of the word sin is forgetfulness. Yes, we've been born into forgetfulness, because we've forgotten who we really are. We've forgotten how awesome we are, and you are now learning this and experienceing this first hand as part of this amazing organisation, How awesome you are, and not only how awesome you are, but how much good you can do to the community, or for the community, because you're part of something! But, the best part of you comes out when you get rid of all those layers around you, and when you really unwrap yourself and understand that you have come here with a purpose; that you have come here with specific qualities, that can be learned through the cards, through astrology, through numerology.

We have these systems that allow you to come back to yourself and understand why you're here, because just because something is offered, including tarot cards doesn't mean that it is something for you. You can go into it, but it will be easier for some people and will be more difficult for other people. And it's got nothing to do with the organization; it's got something to do with you, because we have different qualities, but if we don't know what qualities we have; if we don't know where our calling lies, in German we call it "Berufung", that's where the word "Beruf" -job- comes from. If we don't know where our calling lies, then we cannot really develop harmoniously in life.
Then we will continue to run into obstacles, again and again and again.

We're really flying... So, you still with me? [Yeah!] Are you proud you took your shoes off? [Yeah!] Who obeyed my command that you shall not use a cell phone? I saw a couple of you going... Naughty, naughty, naughty... All right! This, my dear friends, is freaking awesome! I learned this in the Master Key System and I'm going to share this with you, and some of you may already know: it's the interaction of the conscious mind, which has its place in the brain, and the subconscious mind, which has its place in a place where the illustrator didn't deem it fit to put it, which is the solar plexus.

And some of you may have been hit onto the solar plexus, and you know exactly what happened: your lights went out! Why? Because the distribution of energy to the body was interrupted, and you couldn't breathe. [Makes gulping noise] That's what happens when you get hit on the solar plexus... It's a disturbance in the distribution of energy, and that's why it's so important to have an active solar plexus, because then nothing else disturbs you; nothing else can get to you, and if you radiate light; if you want to give; if you want to be be present in life, and give to the world, and if you don't receive back from maybe the same person, you don't care, because you live, you give, because you can give, because your solar plexus is active, and the beautiful thing is: the brain and the solar plexus are connected, illustrated by this yellow scribbling. There's a lot of creative license put into that, but there's the so-called vagus nerve; they're actually two, running down the spine, branching off into heart and lungs, piercing the diaphragm, and ending up in a place that's medically called the celiac plexus, commonly called solar plexus - your inner Sun! And if you're German, you know what the German name is: it's your "Sonnengeflecht".

It's not called that for nothing; it's your inner Sun. Right... So remember...The conscious mind, operating through the five senses, is constantly receiving signals, and it's transmitting them, and it's transmitting them down the vagus nerves into the solar plexus, and if it's transmitting garbage, bad thoughts, negative thoughts, hindering thoughts, thoughts of feel of guilt, of shame, of grief into the solar plexus, the solar plexus will make that happen, because the solar plexus does not partake the subconscious mind does not partake in the decision-making process. It's not its goal! That's the goal of the conscious, [Correcting himself] That is the task of the conscious mind; to make the right decisions, because once it's past the realm of the conscious mind, and gone to the subconscious mind, it will be turned into flesh, because the subconscious mind is here to express life and to improve conditions.

And if we are not extremely careful as to what we think, how we think, all those negative conditions will manifest in our life, because down here there's no one who says: "You're too old; you don't deserve this." Or in Germany: "You don't have this certificate!", Right? Or: "You don't have enough money!" Here, the subconscious says: "Your wish is my command!" So whatever you think, whatever your predominant mental attitude is, is what is made happen, and the nasty thing is that you're no longer engaged in this consciously, because once something has happened, it will happen "selbstverstndlich" - self-evidently. It will just understand itself, so to say, because because once it's here, it will manifest in your life. You will notice it through your senses, but you no longer have the complete grasp of what you have created, and this is why it's so important to clean your thoughts, to clean your emotions, to become a master of your emotions, to be silent before you speak, to employ your mind, your mental faculties before you open your mouth, and there's a beautiful duality in there again, because the brain is male, the brain is active. The brain sends down the signals, the impulses.

The subconscious side is passive; it's female. This is relative; this is absolute. [Pointing to the conscious, then the subconscious side]. This operates through the senses; this has got nothing to do with the senses.

This one is conscious of itself - in its ideal state. This one isn't! And this is our subconscious mind. It's the connection to the universal mind - to God. And God does not judge.

God has no will. The only thing that God wants and can do as a mental construct is to experience him or her or himself. It's very important to understand, because this side is subconscious; it's not conscious of itself; it does not know what it's doing; it doesn't care about what it's doing; all it's doing is what is being taught by the conscious side, and the conscious side can can send out signals of wealth of health and happiness, or lack and limitation, of disease, and we can continue to connect ourselves and plug ourselves into the the matrix that we have created, that says: "Well, at 83 you die", or "Your life ends after 40", or "It only goes downhill from there" etc etc. ...All that rubbish! And the educated mind knows that this is just a thought creation, and there's an opposite to this, and that you can be healthy until your dying days, and that could be a hundred fifty, hundred sixty...

Perfectly possible, perfectly possible... What you pay attention to, you'll become conscious of. That is law! But your mind cannot be trusted. [Shows animated dancer turning on the screen] Which way is this woman turning? (In welche Richtung dreht sich diese Frau?) Clockwise or anti-clockwise? Give me a show of hands - clockwise.

Yeah, awesome! Anti-clockwise? And the hands that didn't go up? Which way is that woman turning? Who can turn that woman both ways? Right..., That's lovely. Okay, you can turn this woman any way you like. It's just dots on the screen, but your conscious mind decides whether you choose clockwise or anti-clockwise, and that translated means your conscious mind decides whether you're going to with the direction of health, wealth and happiness, or whether go you lack and limitation, disease, and all those things related to that! You decide! Next one... Yeah, it gets a bit more tricky here...

This is a so-called "Lissayou" figure that you see on an oscilloscope. Which way is it turning? Clockwise, anti-clockwise? Both? Yeah, you're good! Awesome! Alright... Check this, a beautiful test: What do you see? It's a lovely spiral, hey? Going right in... No, it's not! They're all circles.

Yeah, trace them. I can't trace them because I don't have a laser pointer, but I can jump up to show you... They're all concentric circles. But you see what the problem is? That the conscious mind cannot cope with complex figures, and that's why we always simplify things, to make it easy to understand, because the conscious mind is not capable of dealing with complex -in this case- visual things.

Moving on... Well, there's the conscious mind There's the vagus nerve... You can see... So, summary...

Beautiful, here: five senses, outer world, relative, and is dealing with effects, and it can argue, it can decide, it can procrastinate but it sets the impulse, and it's male, and its main purpose is to ascertain the truth. That's what the conscious mind is there for - to ascertain the truth; to understand the truth, to live the truth, and to breathe that truth with every cell of your body. There's the brain. Next one, the subconscious side - complete opposite! It's in your solar plexus, which sits in front of the spine, behind your stomach.

And it's fed by the conscious mind through the vagus nerve. Intuition - that's it! Because the way down from the conscious side, from the brain to the solar plexus, is concentration. The better you can concentrate, the more you will awaken your intuitive faculties, and where do you concentrate? When you do "chakka", or when you go quiet? Right... And concentration has nothing to do with effort.

Concentration is the complete absorbance in the object of your desire. You become one with it, and when you can become one, then you become more conscious of it, because what you pay attention to, you become conscious of! And you can see, that it's absolute. It's dealing with the inner world, not the outer world. It manifests; that's the purpose of the subconscious mind.

Manifestation; it makes things happen! And you can utilize it - each one of you can utilize the interaction of the conscious mind and the subconscious mind in order to create an awesome future for yourself, for the family, for your community, for everybody, because you know by this system, or this means that you are God among gods, and you know how to consciously attract from the realm of the infinite possibilities that which you want to manifest in life, because just as much as the sunflower seed turns into a sunflower, and not into an apple tree, you can rely on all this. You can rely on the manifestation of your thoughts, because if you do repeat this, over and over again, over and over again, it will manifest - that again is law! Not the garbage man-made laws that we've created; natural laws that we're completely oblivious to - for the most part. You understand? You understand why this is so important, and when they say that we only use 10% of our brain, no we don't! We use hundred percent of our brain all the time, but what is meant by that is that we are completely incapable of co-ordinating the action and interaction between the conscious side and the subconscious side, because once you know about your subconscious mind, your solar plexus, you will use that to effect change in your life; to change circumstances; to move to awesomeness; to abundance; no matter where you stand; no matter where you've been, where you've come from, what you've experienced in life - it doesn't matter! It DOES NOT matter! What is important is your thoughts, and your predominant mental attitude is in alignment with the truth; that your thoughts are truthful. And they are truthful when they are constructive; when they are positive; when they create more! Charles Haanel said in the Master Key System that "Nature lets two blades of grass grow where there was previously only one", and we can do the same.

And you're doing the same with Karatbars. You're growing, and you're helping others to grow, and you benefit as a consequence, and that's perfectly fine and acceptable, nothing wrong with that. So you can see it once again: The subconscious mind is expressing life and improves conditions; that you can rely on the operation of the subconscious mind, and I can give you a little test now, because the conscious mind operates via repetition. You want to concentrate; you want to focus the thoughts, and so you want to repeat.

Repeat again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again... And this "again and again and again" is absolute poison for your conscious mind, because it loves diversity; it loves differences; and when it gets the same stuff over and over and over and over again and again and again and again, it sends it down to the solar plexus where there's no one that says: "You are too poor!", "You're too stupid", "You're too ugly", where it just makes things happen. The solar plexus says: "Yes, give it to me , because I loooove repetition! I love structure. I love order.

I love the stuff that is constructive. I love the truth!" Do you understand? Yes, you do! Each one of you, because this is not rocket science! This is the simple, basic understanding of how life works, and how we operate as a human being. Bringing the conscious mind into alignment with the subconcious mind. And this is why Charles Haanel says, you've got an inconceivable advantage over the multitude, who knows nothing about the solar plexus, to the degree that the people who drew this graph forgot the solarplexus.

[Shows new slide] So, first comes faith and belief, and that's something all of you who are religious... You have to believe, believe in God. Yeah, believing in God means believing in the law. Believing in order, in structure.

Because everything around here is order, is structure. We're relying on this every single day, whether you use a smartphone or a laptop, here, the mobile devices, or the speakers, or the lights, all law! Down to this chair that you're sitting on; you're relying on this; down to the table you're leaning on; down to the bottle of water that is containing the water - not just going "pooff" just because it wants to. Law and order! Natural law and order are penetrating the entire fabric of the Universe, and we know very little about this - until now! So now, I've given so much, but I have also taken away something very important from you: your excuses! None of you can say anymore: "I did not know!" Now you do know; what you do with it, that's entirely up to you! So now, we use faith, and we use belief, but belief serves a purpose; serves the purpose to get us to knowledge, and once you know, you do no longer have to believe! That's also something that no one told you - it serves a purpose! And if you believe something, that by itself means nothing! You want to convert that belief into knowledge! You want to use it to tide you over in that evolutionary process - that growth process - from one side to the other, where here you no longer have to believe that you have that! If you have 60.000 Whatever Cashgold, you know it! You don't have to believe it anymore, but the belief serves a purpose! And if the belief does not lead you to knowledge, you can kick it in the bucket. You can discard it - it doesn't serve you anymore.

Very important! So, knowledge of the law, application of the law, and then, at the very base, diaphragmic breathing. Breathe properly, because by breathing you bring order into your system. And the order in the system allows you to think the right thoughts! And that's why you do this in the silence. Remember Yoga.

Up until a hundred years ago, Yoga was all about breathing. Now it's about fancy postures.
Now you can wrap your leg behind your head. Nonsense! The postures are only there to test you whether you can still breathe properly, because life is about breathing, and once you stop breathing, you know what happens, and the more conscious you breathe, and the more order you bring into your breathing, the better your experience will be, and the healthier your life will be. So we have that...

We move from the unconscious side to the conscious side, where a completely different set of qualities prevail, and move on... [ You don't have to read...  Once again if you want the presentation, you're most welcome to email me. ] Let's have a quick look at the exercises, because I told you about the knowledge, but I also told you about the capabilities.

And the Master Key System allows you to extend your capabilities. The first week we learn about physical control, because without physical control, no cookies, my friends! No cookies, because without physical control, a certain degree of physical control, you cannot control your mind; you cannot control your thoughts. And if you cannot control your thoughts, you cannot relax your body. And if you cannot relax your body, you cannot relax your thoughts - your mind, because once you are like this [fakes shaking], how do you want to relax your mind? You can switch it off, but you want to relax it, in order to introduce new thoughts.

And I don't know if you even noticed, but like the last couple of seconds, when the slide showed up... If you can control yourself, which is the male aspect; if you can relax yourself, which is the female aspect; you have total control over what is happening in the outside world. Sorry, you have total control over your reaction to what is happening in the outside world- total control over your reaction to what has happened in the outside world, because things are happening all over the place, and often you are a passive recipient of that which is happening, but how do you react? You first want to control, and then you want to chill. First control, then chill.

So you see alone in the first four weeks of the Master Key System, the first four exercises, lies a wealth of benefit. Amazing! And then, the fifth element is visualization. That's the chapters 5-10, where you learn how to use your visualization powers. Very  simple exercises; very simple visualization exercises to more complex, abstract ones, and once you can visualize, which you can only do when you're really relaxed, then you move to concentration.

And what does concentration do? Those of you who've paid attention... What does concentration do? It impacts on your subconscious mind - the center of Creation! Your mind doesn't create; your conscious mind doesn't create! Sorry, your conscious mind doesn't create; your subconscious mind creates. This one only perceives what has already been created and it can decide upon the future - what will be created in the future, because the subconscious mind is the genie that says: your wish is my command. Inumerable wishes.

Whatever you want to wish, you can manifest. Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition. What you pay attention to, you become conscious of. And there you see the power of the Master Key, because at the end of the day you become a master of concentration in the silence, and you can concentrate on the most abstract things: your unity with Almighty; or with the Omnipotent.

You concentrate on states of consciousness; You're not after gold - don't fool yourself! You're after happiness and harmony. We use the material things in order to arrive at a state of consciousness - of happiness and harmony. That's what you are after. One is the means, the other one is the end.

And remember: you are not physical beings! You have a mind; you have a body, but you are not your mind, you're not your body. Most people think they do, but they're foolish. You're a spiritual being that has a physical experience, and as a spiritual being you do not find lasting satisfaction in material things. You are after states of consciousness - happiness and harmony, but happiness means the best of everything! Also friends, financial abundance, good health, nice things in my environment - all that kind of stuff.

They they all just means to an end. They are not the end itself. The end is happiness and harmony That's what you're after, and you are focusing on that! And then chapter 9 of the Master Key System has a beautiful quote, and it goes: "I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy." This was slow, right? I know the translators are still going to kill me after the session. I'm whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy! How many? 7.

Right? Whole & perfect: spiritual; strong & powerful: physical; loving and harmonious: emotional - soul! In that simple affirmation you've got body, mind and spirit covered, and the result of that is happiness! I'm whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy! And pay attention to the tense - I am - not "I want to". You are; you're a spiritual being, you've just forgotten that you're a spiritual being. And youve forgotten that you're whole and perfect, You've forgotten... No matter what your physical state now is you can still change it.

Because your mind is powerful. You're whole and perfect, and you're strong and powerful, no matter what your state of health is at the moment - you can change it! You can become more flexible; you can become more proficient at breathing properly; you can build up muscle, and all that helps you in your physical body, in your 3D experience of life, and you're loving and harmonious. Why you're loving and harmonious? Because you're friggin solar plexus is radiating the shit out of it! [Applause.] Your inner sun is radiating, because you know who you are, and you're radiating this, you're giving this to other people, and you don't give a damn if you don't get it back from them, because you know who you are. Once again: repetition.

You're radiating; you become attractive; you become magnetic; when you become an attractive and magnetic, things become easier -  very simple. And you learn to visualize; that's your toolbox: visualization. That's your toolbox; in the silence. You seek the silence - again and again and again.

You disconnect from the outer world, and you just become single-minded and focused, same place, same time. Routine, telling your body: now's the time to concentrate. Now's the time, the me-time, the visualization time. Now it's the time where I create in my mind new images, and these images will become reality, because after a certain time the mind tires of the repetition and will hand it over to the subconscious mind, and the subconscious mind says "Yeah, I love this - I will make this happen for you." And it will show you the people; it will show you the circumstances.

It will show you the places, like here - right now - on this beautiful, special day, where you elevate your consciousness through the other speakers; through talking to each other, sharing. You come from different parts of the world: from Ghana, South Africa, Slovenia, the UK - that's just a few. You just elevate your consciousness. Be grateful - that's the end result of this.

I don't know what's to come,... Yeah, this is beautiful, and then we're finished. We're not finished, we're done. And we're finished! Our mind is tired now, we need a break; drink lots of water, breathe, open the doors, or else if you can, have a little bit of a break.

But everything starts with intention - so important to know! Everything starts with your intention. What do you intend doing? Because this is followed by attention and interest, and those two, they swing each other up. Attention leads to more interest; interest leads to more attention and up and up, and then it's to more consciousness. And then comes imagination, and imagination is linked to visualization, so like: What do you imagine? What mental images do you create of yourself - of your future? One quick anecdote: but  you know that you move in coherent circles, which means they correspond to you, and when you make a decision to really live an awesome life, to earn more money, to be healthy, to have a lovely, flowering relationship, then they probably say: "Well, you're crazy! You know, your last 20 years is like a history of failed relationships! Look at your bank account! And that's why you have to seek the silence.

You have to withdraw from them, because they will most likely - because of their level of consciousness - will pull you down, because those two are not in harmony, because here is the poverty, and here's the wealth. And poverty has no conception of wealth - none whatsoever. Right, and when you say: "I want to be wealthy; I'm going to be wealthy", they're gonna say: "You're crazy! Look at your banking account." No! "Look at your state of health!" You see... No, I'm gonna be strong; I'm not gonna run a marathon, but I'm gonna be strong and flexible, and they say: "Look at you: you're overweight - you're never gonna do this!" That's why you seek the silence; you disconnect from them, because otherwise they pull you down and destroy your dreams, and no one...

Allow no one to destroy your dreams - no one! [Applause] Well, this is unfortunately where the video ended, but I would like to complete the slide shown or as shown at the presentation. It all starts with the intention, and then comes attention and interest, which is followed by your imagination, the ability, or your ability to create new mental images. This goes hand-in-hand with visualization, observation - and a careful observation is an absolutely essential part of the creative process. Visualization is there to give you new mental images; to focus your attention on that which you want more of, and through visualization you then recognize patterns.

All this takes place obviously in the silence of while you're meditating. While you're becoming receptive. But also while you're concentrating and contemplating. Contemplation is a mix between concentration and meditation, so you seek the silence, you calm down, and then you employ a blend of this passive receptivity and active concentration like bundling your thoughts, focusing on one particular thing, and then just seeing what happens, and just sort of a neutral observation of what is happening in your mind as contemplation or contemplating a specific subject.

This gives you a certainty, and certainty then is followed by centeredness, because you become centered and the logical result of that is obviously peace of mind. That peace of mind leads you to intelligent decisions and actions, and they in turn lead to success and the continuation of life. That's the reason why you're doing it, and in this little flowchart you can see how it starts with your intention and followed by attention and interest, which are amplifying themselves - or each other rather leading to imagination and visualization, observation, then pattern recognition. It's so important to recognize patterns in the creative process, because patterns give you certainty; leads you to be centered, and giving you peace of mind, and then intelligent decisions, and once again success or the continuation of life at the end of it, consisting of obviously health, wealth and happiness.

And a final slide here to show you a quote by Charles Haanel, which goes: "The infinity of wisdom is to follow the method whereby we may have the inspiration of the omnipotent Universal Mind on demand at any time." Charles Frances Haanel, the author of the Master Key System. And with that I would like to say thank you so much for your attention. Thank you very much for following me, and I would like to give thanks to the author of the video, Catherine Nancy. So thank you for uploading it, because there I didn't get access to any official video from the event, so I'm super grateful to you for having videoed this, or recorded my presentation back then in Stuttgart.

Rightful Way of Living Through Kriya Yoga (Part 2)



Yes The rightful way of thinking, living and actions...I
just wanted to know how we can coordinate our actions, thoughts and words? It's like a domino effect. You get one card falls and all the others
fall in line. One thing is right, first find your center. I'm going to show you what's your center today,
I'm going to help you find your center.

Okay? First find your center. Suppose you pin your center and focus on one
thing, the breathing of Kriya Yoga. The chiti, the chi of Kriya, the pran of Kriya. If that is regulated, if your breathing is
regulated and constant and regular, you sit revering yourself, giving yourself self esteem
and persistently persevering in the practice of the Kriya breath, your breath will fall
in a harmonious movement.

When your breath becomes harmonized, your
thoughts will become harmonized and when your thoughts become harmonized your actions will
harmonize with your thoughts. Automatically, the dominos effect. So start from the breath, the practice of Kriya Yoga, organize your thoughts,
when your thoughts are organized and your thinking is clear, you'll act what think and
think what you act. That's the way to do it.

Therefore this is the age old science, the
age old way of life, what you breathe is what you think and what
you think is what you act on, so that's how its done, that's the way its done. Do you understand?.

Respecting Your Feline Housemates 1 The Approach



Ok this is the first video of this type I'm
making so hopefully it comes out okay. Anyway. Hi, I'm Anne. I have cats.

Well, I live with
cats. There are four in total. These are two of them. They are brother and sister.

The other two...One of them is another brother,
Brodie. He's sleeping somewhere I think. And also Nikki, who is Siamese, and she's not
related to the rest of them and is much older than them. She'll be nine years old this month.
And Shadow, Coraline, and Brodie are about  -- they're just over a year old now.

They're
about a year and three months at the time of this filming. So anyway, what I wanted to discuss a bit
was approaching cats and interacting respectfully. Maybe this will end up being a series, but
in the first one I just wanted to talk about approaching them. You know, in the house.

Cats in -- when they
-- some cats are kind of solitary, but the majority I've noticed, even in feral colonies
that I've seen, are not. It's -- depending on -- feral cats are -- they are often very
social, but only with other cats. They are wary of humans. These guys here, and their brother too, were
-- they were from a feral colony.

They were adopted by me last year as feral kittens.
They've calmed down a lot. (Shadow doing something adorable) Aww...Anyway.
As you can see they're getting a little playful here. Shadow is trying to...Awww. Oh my goodness.
Okay, this is a good example of kitties being social right here.

With each other. They are
going to play-fight now. That or he's just kicking her off the bed! Anyway, um, sorry, tangent. Anyway, what I
want to talk about here is the fact that  -- one thing that bothers me a lot when I
see it is -- it's something where people like, or humans, when I see humans, just randomly
going over to cats and picking them up and kind of carting them around like they're a
sack of flour or something.

Mostly -- granted, mostly this is children
I see doing this but either way, it's not  -- it's some -- you know, if nobody ever
tells people not to do that then a lot just won't -- won't figure it out. So anyway um. I think it's important, when you um are privileged
to share space with an ambassador of another species such as these two fine felines here
-- is to respect them and respect their space and such. And part of what that means is knowing
when they're -- you know, they -- generally they, when you live with them, I mean, they
will eventually -- often times they will  -- they like you, you like them.

I like my
cats, they like me. I think. But anyway um, in terms of approaching, for
instance right now -- right now Shadow is  -- I'd say he is in a mode where he can be
approached respectfully by a human. Because what is -- he's kind of napping, he's kind
of, you know, fading in and out a little bit, but he's still alert enough.

Um, he's not,
you know, squirreled away somewhere. You know, by himself. He's out kind of in the open,
in the middle of the bed, in plain view. And he knows that I can find him here.

And so as you can see here, I just started
briefly petting him from the back, and then he laid down like this, and that's something
-- when I see that, I know that he is --  he's okay with this. Um, one thing I want all the cats to have
is self respect as well. And that means that if they -- the way I, you know -- try and
help them cultivate that, is if they show signs of not wanting to be bothered or something,
then I just don't bother them. And then they  -- they'll learn over time, "oh well this
person is not going to force me to interact in ways I am not comfortable with".

So then,
that just seems like a good way to foster interspecies harmony in the household. At
least as I see it. So yeah. (Talking to Shadow, "Hey little guy").
Cora's kind of jumping around the room right now.

I guess she's done with her nap. She's
leaving the room right now. But um yeah. ("Hello", to Shadow, "Do you want me to come
up there?") Shadow is a very...He's a very kind of interactive
cat, in the sense that he's very -- he learns a lot of human words.

He's kind of surprisingly
literate. He's also very -- I don't know, it's not like -- I mean not like most cats
aren't, but he's just extremely. He learns words without me even trying to -- he just
picks up on things. It's like I have no idea where he picked this stuff up.

I remember
one time I was talking to my partner and I. Said to him something -- some sentence that
had the word "chicken" in it. And Shadow just looked up at me and went "meeeeew!" Kinda
like that...Shadow. ("Shadow, do you like chicken?") He doesn't always meow when you say it but
he generally -- I generally can see his ears move when he recognizes a word that he likes.
So, uh yeah, and he's a big fan of chicken.

So yeah, um, that's the first one. Hopefully
the next ones will be a little bit better planned out but this was an experiment and...Goodbye!.
