Hi, I'm Hans Wilhelm. Today I want to continue our lesson on the cocoon, our ego-world, our personal consciousness that surrounds us. In my previous video, called "Emerge From Your Cocoon!
" I have carefully outlined how this cocoon is constructed. But in preparation for today's lesson, I want to just summarize it here quickly again: Look at this caterpillar here as he builds his cocoon - until he is completely hidden. That is exactly what most of us humans have also done in our life.
We are here in the middle. Let me draw that. And around us is this cocoon.
What is this cocoon? It is our small, self-made ego-world that consists of all our negative sensations, thoughts, words, and deeds. Everything that is not yet in harmony with the law of selfless Love.
These unresolved human facets show themselves as pictures that make up the walls of this cocoon. And that is what we are always looking at. So basically, we only see ourselves.
Because these walls are like mirrors, reflecting back to us who we still are. Just like this toy. The little guy in the middle is us and all he sees is himself in the mirrors surrounding him.
I have explained this deeper in my video on the Law of Projection. The walls are also the radiation of our aura, the plasma or corona. They are the different facets of the light of our soul, shining through our body.
It is like a beam of consciousness. Only what our soul radiates is what we somewhat can understand. Let me repeat this: Only what our soul radiates is what we somewhat can understand.
And that is all what we speak about. We cannot go beyond it. This is our personal state of consciousness.
Therefore, we all see the world very differently because no two state of consciousness are the same. So, all we are constantly looking at, thinking about, speaking about or even texting about are our programs, our personal human games, pressing desires, intrigues, passions, striving for wealth, prestige, and fame as well as animosity, cravings, hate, envy and so on. All our unsolved and unforgiven human programs - which make up the walls of our little ego-world through pictures.
No wonder that for many people this cocoon can feel like an imprisonment. They cannot find escape from their constantly repeating thoughts and emotional reactions. This is the world so many of us are living in.
In my previous video I explained how important it is to unravel this cocoon and raise our consciousness. Today I'll bring out another facet why such cleansing of our ego world is so vitally important. Let's take a very simple example.
Let's say we are meeting with some friends for coffee. Here is the table and here are our two friends. As I have outlined, everybody is surrounded by their own personal ego world, their cocoon - just like a caterpillar.
Each one of us can only see their human programs, desires, wishes, problems, and so on from their ego world. And that is also what each one can only speak about. Or in today's time, "text" about.
Nobody really can fully grasp and understand the other because we are totally self-absorbed in our own individual limited cocoon of unresolved programs. Let's take an example. This is how it usually goes: So, we - here in the middle - share with our friends that last night we recently discovered a new Chinese restaurant in the area.
The moment this friend here hears the word "Chinese restaurant" his own unresolved issue of a past Chinese restaurant visit during which he almost died because of MSG flares up. His memory is immediately triggered, and he can't wait to share his experience with us. But this friend - over here - feels a little insecure and the word "restaurant" immediately brings up in him a visit to a very famous and very expensive 5-star restaurant and he can't wait to cut into the conversation to share the experience with us.
So, instead of intensely listening to each other all we are basically doing is telling each other pressing facets and programs of our own limited ego consciousness. Each one only hears himself, sees himself, and speaks himself. Next time you are at a gathering of friends or family members pay attention how this scenario is repeated over and over again as everybody is only speaking themselves.
We may think that we understand each other. But is that really true? Could it be that because we like the person or he flatters us, we say that we understand each other?
True understand only comes when we begin to understand ourselves. As these two are our friends it might look like we have a lot in common, but we are not in unity because we only look at the shell, the humanness. We speak past each other, each one speaks himself, according to his plasma, according to his shadows.
In other words, we may still be strangers to each other - even if we call each other friends. Can we see why so many people feel so lonely and misunderstood? They are totally caught up in this plasma, this cocoon of their own humanness and don't understand themselves.
They are almost unable to truly connect with another person. Furthermore, - as we have seen in the video on the Law of Projection - everything that upsets us, troubles us or makes us angry in another person is also only our own unresolved programs reflecting back to us. It's never the other person who upsets us.
It is only our own unloved and unforgiven issues. So nothing will ever change until we begin to understand ourselves. We have to unravel our own cocoon and become a butterfly again.
We have to put order into our life, clear up our human aspects step by step. The more we recognize ourselves the more we experience who we are. Self-recognition points out our human aspects that we should clear up.
We transform them with the help of the Christ light within us into positive power. And very slowly day by day our cocoon begins to unravel and with that very gradually our consciousness expands. Then everything shifts.
We can truly see each other. When we ennoble our soul again by unraveling our Cocoon, we will then see and respect our friend, family member, or even a stranger as a being in God, who is in his innermost being, as we are - fine, noble, beautiful, and pure. The more we open the divine in our inner being, the more we can see through our neighbor and his cocoon.
He suddenly becomes transparent to us since we, ourselves, have become transparent. Then we look not only at the shell, not only at the other person - we see through him, grasp his feelings and thoughts and know how we can help him, what we can say to him, and how we should deal with everything we encounter. Then we have true and intimate communication.
Can we now see the difference between speaking from our very limited ego-bubble or from our expanded consciousness? We will perceive the world totally differently. And the world also sees us differently because we will have clarity.
Raising our consciousness can be our greatest gift of love we give to others. And as we are also in the essence of everybody else, it is also a gift to ourselves. This lesson was inspired by the book "The Great Cosmic Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth to his Apostles and Disciples Who Could Understand Them.

Thank you for watching. I hope to see you in my next video.
