My dearest brothers and sisters,
This is Hakann speaking. I greet you in peace and love.
Hopefully, you’re spending some of your time in a way that’s both useful and enjoyable. Doing some activity that is entirely in alignment for you may very well be both useful and enjoyable. Or simply spending time with your loved ones may be both useful and enjoyable. I’m using a broad definition of “useful” here. Spiritual practice, or spending time in nature, or having an amazing meal might also be both useful and enjoyable.
And probably some of the time you’re spending is useful but not enjoyable, such as doing chores. Or it’s enjoyable but not useful, such as playing video games. In moderation, there’s nothing wrong with that.
However, a surprising amount of people are spending time on things that are neither useful nor enjoyable. And that’s a bit strange, and also it’s a waste.
One example of a non-useful unenjoyable activity is excessively studying politics, more than is needed just to get a broad idea or what’s going on. It doesn’t bring you joy, probably, and it’s also not really useful, probably, so why do it?
Another example of a non-useful unenjoyable activity is arguing with strangers online.
Another example is consuming news stories that are negative and depressing but also not directly relevant to you or things that you can really fix. Most news stories are ultimately like this.
Another example is any kind of alt-media research that isn’t practically applicable and doesn’t bring you joy. Again it may be useful to know some broad outlines, but probably not much more than that.
So, why are people spending time in ways that are non-useful and unenjoyable?
It’s because people are meeting surface-level needs in this way.
Acquiring rational information can make you feel smart and safe and in control on a somewhat surface level.
Telling people online that they are wrong, or reading news stories about the other political side being bad, can make you feel smart and virtuous for being on the right side. And it can stroke your ego by making you feel superior to others.
However, deep needs aren’t being met this way. These activities don’t truly make you feel happy or loved. They don’t give you a sense of deep belonging or meaning. They don’t truly make the world a better place.
So arguing with people online or excessively studying politics… it meets surface-level needs, but not deep needs. This is why they’re sort of tempting activities to engage in, but they’re also things that we understand that we shouldn’t focus on — because they’re ultimately sort of hollow activities that don’t truly help us or others.
So, that is a useful question to ask yourself if you find yourself vaguely drawn towards doing something. Namely, will this meet a surface-level need or a deep need?
If you feel drawn towards buying an expensive car… will that meet a surface-level need or a deep need? Probably a surface-level need.
If you feel drawn towards finding a partner for a serious, long-term relationship… will that meet a surface-level need or a deep need? Probably a deep need.
If you want to know some rational tidbit of information… will that meet a surface-level need or a deep need? Probably a surface-level need, because deep needs are things like being loved, having a meaningful life, et cetera, and you won’t get that from knowing a snippet of information.
If you feel drawn to move to another country… will that meet a surface-level need or a deep need? Well it depends, why are you feeling drawn to move?
Ideally, you’re able to meet your deep needs as much as possible, and then your surface-level desires will vanish or at least won’t feel as pressing anymore.
Now people might feel that it’s impossible to meet their deep needs, but while that’s challenging, you really can do a whole lot more than you think. Frankly, a lot of Earth people are far deeper into victim consciousness and helplessness consciousness than is warranted. There are absolutely opportunities on Earth for building a decent life and meeting good people.
And while instead focusing on meeting surface-level needs is easier, for example by focusing on the external world and politics or trying to learn tidbits of rational information — ultimately that won’t make you happy, and ultimately none of that will ever be enough. If anything it can even distract you from what is truly important, such as going within, or spending time with your loved ones.
So, if you feel vaguely drawn to something… will that meet a surface-level or a deep need?
I hope this was helpful.
Your star brother,
Hakann

Hi Hakkan. I think this topic is very important. Most people on Earth don’t have their needs fully met. I think this is the main cause of the suffering, division, confusion, and finger-pointing that exists here. Earth is a very strange planet in this respect. I can fully understand the anger and exasperation expressed by people who are suffering.
I want to share a quick anecdote related to this:
Back in 2020 I hit rock bottom. I won’t go into the details of that time, but suffice it to say it was the maximum point of my suffering and hopelessness. One could even say I went through the five stages of grief. Once I accepted my situation, I realized that Einstein was right when he said, “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” Ever since then, I have been slowly but surely increasing my level of consciousness and opening my mind to new perspectives and solutions I never could have imagined before. The result over these last five years has been a profound improvement to my life in so many ways. I literally feel like I am a different person now than I was then, and I am able to solve problems much easier.
I think the biggest challenge facing people today is they try to solve problems with the same level of consciousness and understanding that created those problems in the first place. I will humbly offer a few examples of what I see from Earth humans in this regard:
1.) Only listening to people/sources who share your opinion/perspective and ignoring or even attacking other viewpoints
2.) Seeing a problem or a dilemma as the end of the road instead of an opportunity.
3.) Thinking there are only two sides to every issue
4.) Conflating true happiness with surface-level pleasure.
5.) Believing mainstream news
6.) Persistantly thinking about what you don’t want and therefore manifesting it
7.) Believing you are separate from Source/God
8.) Rationalizing decisions based on subconscious pain
9.) Talking but not listening
10.) Succumbing to fear and victim consciousness
These are only a few examples. I think humans are amazing and I believe in humanity. I’m offering this not as a condemnation but to try to help people.
I’m interested in how galactics see Earth humans.
Thank you for caring.
Hi Collin.
Recently, I saw a few instances of people claiming “this is the root of all sufferings”. I thought a lot about it. I don’t think there is an easy answer to that question, except a “this is human nature” or “thus is 3rd density coonsciousness”. But I agree very much with you, that, at least in my views, a big problem is that most people are living in that so-called echo-chamber, only reading news they already agree with, only talking to people they already agree with, and therefore, collectively, we have lost the ability to engage in dialectic.
Hi Raksha. I agree that people don’t engage in true dialectic anymore. If you want to solve a problem you have to look at it from all angles, and that is where debate and having multiple perspectives comes into play. Echo chambers don’t do much good. I do believe it is important to find like-minded people and enjoy quality time with them, but solving problems requires learning stuff from other people and engaging in respectful discourse.
Well said. For example, European leaders haven’t spoken to Putin in a long time, and the head of Russian diplomacy described how, at the G20, his colleagues turned their backs on him. It’s the same at an individual level: it’s becoming difficult to listen to and engage with different points of view. I read things from various perspectives to get a sense of the broader picture, but most people I interact with only read sources that align with their own views. So, without claiming to have identified the root of the problem, I think that information, diverse perspectives, and constructive dialogue are crucial points. Unfortunately, I feel like dialogue has broken down.
“There are absolutely opportunities on Earth for building a decent life and meeting good people.” Oh Hakann… stop it already with the Urban legends. 🤣
Thank You, Mikhael, for voicing what I was thinking 🧐
He underestimates/ amnesia/ forgets, the level of programming, and, I’ll just say it-
Demonic individual controllers, we are UNDER. Speaking in our own VOICES, and words-
I do have hope…. And I AM releasing…. and casting off, to source, de monic controllers, personal ones, of mine…
😌💎♥️
I don’t think he’s underestimating anything. He clearly consider the average brainwashed human to be a good person. I don’t 🤫. It’s all about the perspective!
The average person is good, I agree, Mikhael, but stating a decent life can be made, well, I haven’t accomplished it, so, I don’t believe it🤭
I’m biased, because, I haven’t been able to do it 😌, admittedly
There is no real conflict of beliefs. Opportunities for meeting good people can absolutely exist without them being the majority of the population.
Same for building a decent life, always possible however unlikely.
Well, I find it hard to know beforehand what will bring me more joy or usefulness… Referencing past experiences only works to an extent since all conditions keep changing, and relying entirely in theory and chance doesn’t work either, because you have nothing to compare against.
I think the division of joyful / useful IS superficial in itself, and seeking either deep joy or deep usefulness usually leads me to the same place. I believe that’s Moderation in the truest sense of the word.
Very helpful, it’s always good to verbalize things even if you know them intuitively, they become more present once articulated, I think.
So very useful the division surface/deep needs, and the combination of “useful/enjoyable” for activities.
Only, when speaking about the (joyless and useless) activity of excessively studying politics, or being much invested on political sides, I’m not sure if it should be a problem here. Once you know that the world is controlled by the dark (as I think we do), and to an extent how, you realize that politics are only one more control mechanism, and just pay them some attention to try to guess the way they want to deceive people each time, and for what specific purpose. At least this is my case, but I think of many other people here too.
A different thing is that you may have a political attachment from before you woke up, or your family, and you may let it manifest at times with some sleeping people, but knowing what you’re doing (maybe just to please them), if anything. Like with sides in a football game.
In the end left and right are “right”, we’ve just been manipulated to think they exclude each other: you can promote people’s initiative and work, but also provide for those less gifted or lucky to have enough resources. You can acknowledge the biological evidence of two genders, but be open to specific individual cases, to solve those situations, etc. The exact balance is up to collective free will, but they’re compatible.
Traditionally the right has been used to promote or carry out wars (e.g. Bush Sr and Jr). And the left to undermine principles that are eternal, as if they were subjected to trends or fashion, for dark purposes. Sometimes they give us a bit of one, and then of the other. Until in the last twenty years, when they gave us way too much of everything and it made people to wake up (among other reasons).
Too long, apologies.. 🙏
I have little to say about the topic of this week, but I have made [Patch 3] for the market rules P5/6(09/01/2024) in the post “Hakann: Local Meetings for those Seeking First Contact with Benevolent ETs”. This idea is about the basic algorithm in a simple online shopping system.
Technically speaking, the huge gap between the rich and the poor is the main problem of this world, and its key source is the extreme wealth concentration effect caused by traditional, overly simple market competition and comparison. The wealth gap of millions of times is overly not people-oriented, because the difference in the ability of different bodies is only several times, and the work pain felt by different people is not many times different.
