Why Videos?

Some of you might wonder what or who inspired me to create the spiritual videos on www.LIFEexplained.com. The short answer is: My father - long after he was dead. 

It all began in the year 2004 when my father was dying and had only weeks or days to live. After a long and very eventful life he calmly accepted his fate, which he believed would be his final end. In other words he did not believe that there was life after death. As a soldier in WW2 he had seen a lot of deaths and he was sure that once a person has died that was the end of him. My father lost all faith in religions when he witnessed the priests blessing the guns and cannons and sending the men off to war in the name of God.

We four children took turns being by his side throughout his last days. He was totally aware of everything around him but could no longer speak. One day when it was my turn to spend my precious time with him I said: "Dad, I know you don't believe that there is life after death. But just in case you find yourself still conscious after your body has died, allow me to tell you what you might experience so that you are not totally surprised if that should happen."

And then I shared with him what might happen to the soul after the physical death. I drew this spiritual information from the many paths, sources, seminars, teachers, and insights that I had studied over the past 45 years with great passion. After I finished my father gave me a faint smile, indicating that although he had heard me he knew such crazy stuff would certainly not be waiting for him.

I had totally forgotten this episode but it came back to me in a surprising way four years later. Some of my friends were raving about a young medium who was visiting the area to promote his latest book. His name was Roland Comtois and I decided to meet him during his forthcoming book reading at our local new-age bookstore. Since it was a small place I arrived early to make sure I would get a seat. As I was settling in and closed my eyes for a short meditation somebody tapped me on my shoulder and said: "Hi I am Roland Comtois. I saw you entering the store. At the same time your father appeared and rushed up to me and urged me to speak to you. He told me that you are his son and that you explained to him what would happen when he died. At the time your father didn't believe you, but he told me that you were absolutely correct and your information had helped him tremendously to find his bearings in the spiritual world. He urged me to tell you that you must go out and tell other people about this because he sees too many souls arriving on the other side who are totally lost and confused because nobody prepared them for what to expect. Your father asks you to write books about this and inform as many people as you can."

When Roland continued sharing some other very personal matters that my father had told him I knew for sure that he really was communicating with the soul of my father. At first I felt very uncomfortable about the idea of publicly sharing my knowledge of the spiritual worlds and laws. I always thought that this was something very personal and private. I struggled with my father's request for quite some time until one day during a meditation I received the inspiration to make short videos instead of writing a book on this topic. In these videos I could use my illustrating skills and visually show how these spiritual laws and dynamics work and influence each other. Furthermore with such videos I would reach a lot of young people who are desperately searching for spiritual truth.

That is how I started www.LIFEexplained.com which features now more than 130 short videos.

I like to take this opportunity to thank the many viewers who have shared with me how these videos have helped them and brought clarity to their understanding of the spiritual laws. Your words have encouraged me to add many more videos in the years ahead.

My mystical background

For most of my life I have kept my personal spiritual journey private. But with the ever-increasing interest in my YouTube video series I can understand why many wonder, where and how I got my detailed understanding of the spiritual reality of our existence.

It all began when I was still in my teens and got hooked on Transcendental Meditation. Although I no longer perform this specific technique it has helped me to appreciate the healing power of consistent meditation. Shortly thereafter I was introduced to the amazing work of Edgar Cayce, America’s sleeping prophet. Through his ‘readings’ and attending the weekly ‘Search for God’ classes I began to grasp the concept of past lives and that Jesus taught reincarnation. It was the beginning of my education as an aspiring mystic. During the next decades I explored many other spiritual paths and met astonishing teachers, like Byron Katie with her lifechanging technique called “the work”. Katie and I published several books together, like “Tiger-Tiger, Is It True?” and “The Four Questions”. I attended numerous retreats all over the world and also gave classes and workshops on the spiritual dynamics of life at various venues and colleges. For many years my mystical comprehension has been profoundly deepened by the revelations and teachings that came from the Absolute Reality via Gabriele. Many of her books are listed on my ‘recommendations’ page or at https://gabriele-publishing-house.com.

Over the years I have become increasingly aware of the beauty and perfection of the All-Intelligence of God as well as the ingenious and supreme simplicity of divinity. As a dedicated traveler on the path to LOVE I have now begun to share my understanding of the spiritual laws and concepts in my videos. I am not a teacher, counselor, therapist or medium but merely an illustrator of the Spiritual Laws as they were given to us by the divine world. These videos are intentionally kept short and are free of any advertising or requests for donations. I have no need to convince anybody about the truth of the material I share. Neither do I want to missionize. If you like what I have to say that is fine. And if you don’t that is fine with me, too. I sincerely respect the free will of everyone. 

Testimonial

Dear Hans,
I've wanted to send you a message for quite a long time. Predominantly to say thank you for your wonderful videos on youtube. I have watched them over and over. I have held back from messaging you, worried you are too busy to read my message. Yet I feel an overwhelming urge that I should. So here goes! :)
I wanted to message because my late father and I were very spiritual and somehow knew a lot of what your videos contained, without us reading anything (I was more so, than him). I have been psychic since being a child, also without trying. Anyway, when my father passed away (which he did in my home in my arms as I cared for him towards the end of his life), he remained with me in spirit, for just under 6 months while I grieved. I was probably closer to him after he passed, then before, as he was there so much.

One afternoon, I suddenly felt overwhelmingly tired and felt I had to lye down and sleep (not like me). My dad came to me in this sleep and told me he had to leave and said goodbye. What he said now is hazy, but something about he was being called. It was vivid, much more so than a dream. When I woke I understood, but sobbed and knew he was now moving over to the other side. I had enjoyed him being there every day since him passing, in a more vivid way than I usually sense spirits. I questioned whether he came to me in my sleep, to make it easier to tell me (as I could see/communicate with him when awake).

Maybe a week later I tried to tune into him and said I was missing him and that I was having some personal issues. He came to me and told me to go on youtube (of all things?!... I'm not really a youtube user). He said he'd guide me when I did. I was bemused, but did as he said. I thought maybe he was guiding me to an opera he liked listening to or something. But no, my dad told me to type in your name! I'd never heard of you. The video that came up immediately was the one about mourning and grieving. My dad told me to watch all the videos... I'm trying to remember what he said now... something like this (message) is right. I watched the video on mourning and grieving amazed, as it was what had just happened to me and my dad.

This was summer of 2017, and since then I have probably watched each of your videos 8 times each at least. And continue to do so. 70% I knew (but don't know why), and I'm grateful to have gone on to learn more. I am very happily married but a wheelchair user and don't have any family now my dad has passed. So missed having someone in my life who was also spiritual and just understood my way of thinking and being. So I feel he gave me such a gift in your videos. It continues what my dad and I instinctively knew and chatted about, and has validated it for me, and I feel he has guided me when I was lost, back to my spiritual centre.

I have wanted to write and tell you for a long time that my dad guided me to you from the other side, especially with your father telling you from the other side to share this information out there. I don't know how my dad even knew about you... he didn't when he was alive as far as I know. I inherited his belongings, and went through his laptop, and even checked his history!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible effort you go to putting these videos online and sharing them. They bring me so much peace and centre me when I feel lost. They also make me feel close to my dad, as he guided me to you.

I wish you great peace and happiness,

D.
