Good morning, and a warm welcome
to the podcast Quint-E. My name
is Beatrice Bürger. I'm an office
manager, stretching and pilates
coach and the initiator of
the project Quintessence.
I've been in Costa Rica for two
days, and finally it's time, I'm
expanding! I really did it. I
registered my business here in
Costa Rica. And some more great
news: we've been really busy the
past months with preparing the
Quintessence Academy! We will
have a free webinar about it
this week. (In German)
All the info about it can be found
in the show notes below, there's
also a link where you can register.
I'd be so happy to see you there!
Ok, but now let's move on to a
very interesting gentleman that
I'm interviewing today.
Have fun listening!
I'm so excited to have the great
honour of interviewing Kurt
Tepperwein.
B: I'm so happy that you're here
Mr. Tepperwein, welcome!
T: Thank you so much for the invite,
I'm looking forward to our chat
and can't wait to hear
your fascinating questions.
B: Oh yes, I'm really curious
to hear your answers! But to get
startet, many people might
already be familiar with your name,
but there's surely some
who don't know you so well
yet. Would you mind introducing
yourself, for those people
who don't know you?
T: Well, there's a lot to talk about!
But to keep it short: I'm simply a
very inquisitive person.
I'm particularly interested in one topic.
What is life, how does it work,
what are the principles of life,
and obviously also, who am I?
My entire life is a quest for
finding improved answers to
these questions of life's essences.
B: Great, that fits perfectly into our
project Quint-E, and I'm super
grateful that you're here.
Because I knew about you
at least 10 or 15 years ago
already. I have two of your
books at home,
"The message of your body"
and "What your illness is trying
to tell you".
I've had these books for a
long time and
they have helped me a lot
personally.
Meanwhile, you've written so many
other books, one of those is
from 1984 I believe. Since then,
a lot has happened.
T: A lot has happened for sure.
And this is only a partial aspect of
the language of life. The most
important, for every human being,
is to acknowledge that
everything we experience is a
message. Life constantly speaks
to us. Not only in diseases and
symptoms, but in all life
scenarios. In our difficulties
and successes, in all our
events in life. Everything that
happens is a message.
And everything, without exception,
is a chance for the better.
Life tells you that it's the way it
is right now.
Do you want to keep it that way or
would you like to acknowledge it
and turn it into your ideal?
That's initially what I'm doing in
each moment of my life.
I'll explain in a moment how
simple it is to understand the
message, everything's easy for me.
I listen to the message, and in
each moment I'm changing what's
happening into an ideal scenario.
Therefore I live an ideal life.
That means, if someone asks me
today, Mr. Tepperwein, I have a
problem...I'll say, interesting, I haven't
seen one in so many years.
I could mention
dozens of examples. Tell me your
biggest problem.
Then he'll respond with a difficult
situation, and I'll
say ok, this is an unpleasant
situation and should be changed.
But where is the problem?
I repeat, what exactly
is the problem?
That's a chance to make things
better. Life shows you the unpleasant
side, how it shouldn't be. So change it.
Look at the situation and the first
question is, how do you want it to be?
Between the "how it is" and "how I
want it to be", the path is formed.
And the steps. Then you only need
to start moving, and that's how you
transform each moment in your life
to your ideal, and you life an
ideal life.
B: That reminds me, as this also has
a lot to do with courage.
So when you're in a difficult situation,
you have a problem or are scared of
something, there's many who don't have
the courage to go beyond their fear, or
seeing the problem as a solution.
What advice can you give these people?
T: I always chose the wisdom of words.
For example in this case, fear.
This word comes from the latin word
angustus (narrow).
So when I'm in fear, life tells me
in its own language, that I'm
currently in my ego awareness,
as only the ego can have fears.
If you're yourself, you can't have fears.
When I'm part of the highest, and
there's only one awareness,
when I'm consciously part of that
awareness, what could I possibly
be afraid of?
So when I'm in fear,
and he is fearful in that case,
he lives it, he feels it – then life
tells you, you're currently in your
ego awareness. But is this really you?
This would then be a chance to
realize if you slipped into the
ego awareness. I remember who I
really am. I'm taking a step
back, I'm becoming an observer,
I'm watching myself and experience
myself in an awake awareness. I'm
looking at my fear. It's gone, because
me, myself, I can't have fears, it's
impossible. So as soon as I leave
my ego state I can say thanks, fear,
for making me aware that I
was restricted by
my awareness.
Then I can leave that state.
And when I realise then, when I
experience myself in my awake
awareness, then there's no more
fear. It's just a situation, which is
a chance for the better. And I can
dream again, how do I want it to be?
And from the "how it is" and "how I
want it to be" a path forms, as
well as the steps, and then I'm on
my way. This unpleasant situation
that scared my ego...and yes,
I'm always speaking in the third
person, as I don't identify with
it,
that's my ego, my body, my mind,
but it's not myself.
And then I can see everything as
a chance to make things better,
and I can use it. Every situation,
whether it's pleasant or unpleasant,
I can then change into my ideal.
B: If we think about the fact, that
you have now reached a high age,
if you're looking back, are
there moments, or maybe just
one moment, where you had your
biggest fear? When you look back
at all these years you've lived,
what was your biggest fear
in life and how did you handle it?
T: The biggest fear in my life was
quite a while ago, I was 20, and my
sister suddenly got diagnosed with
Polio. And suddenly, having just
started to work, I had to feed my
family. For me this seemed like
an unsolvable task. How should I
do it, what about my plans, I wanted
to study and so on, suddenly all of
that was gone and I was given this
task that seemed too big, too
hard to tackle. But there was no
alternative.
I had no choice. My mom had to
look after my sister and we grew
up without a dad, so it was my job.
That's when I realized that life
never gives us an
unsolvable task.
It might only look unsolvable to
the mind,
it can look too big for our ego,
too difficult, but life thought about
this, and the harder a
task is, the bigger is
life's compliment. Life's
telling you, I know you can do it,
otherwise I wouldn't present you
with this task. That's why I now take
on every challenge, even when my
ego says, how should that work?
Life knows what it's doing, and if it
has the confidence in me to do it,
there simply has to be a way.
Then there is a way.
B: Oh, that's wonderful! I have
some questions for you that I
always ask in my podcasts,
and one of them is, it might seem
superficial at first, or easy to
respond, but it's actually very
profound. What do you get up for
in the morning? Like, what is your
purpose in life.
Not like, I get up in the morning
to brush my teeth and to
have breakfast, but rather, what do
you actually get up for.
T: I wake up each morning and know
that a wonderful day awaits me, life
awaits my directions, it's a
chapter in my book of life
with a blank page.
There might be some earlier
causes that contribute to it, but life
is waiting for my current orders
and I'm deciding which
orders I'm giving for that day,
what do I make out of this day.
The first thing I do,
I give thanks for the chance of
this wonderful day, before it even
starts. That's very important,
as the felt gratitude
generates what we're
grateful for.
So when I already give thanks to this
wonderful day early in the morning,
the energy of my heartfelt
gratitude will make sure that
this day will in fact be wonderful,
and I give thanks for it again at
night.
B: I completely feel you!
T: That's what I get up for, I look
forward to a wonderful day. B: Nice!
T: This day is of course also a chance
to make things better, everything in
my life is a chance for the better, even
the good, as nothing is so good that
it couldn't be better.
So I also take a conscious look at
the good, and
imagine how it could be ideal.
Why shouldn't it be
completely ideal, if I'm already
creating my own fate, and everyone
does that, something else we
should be talking about, then I
can create a fate that I'm looking
forward to.
So I dream and I turn every
situation in each moment
into its ideal.
That's my benchmark, everything
should be ideal. And one day
you achieved it, the old karma
is gone and the new one is
only ideal.
And then only ideal things will
happen. I know, people keep asking
me if I don't ever have problems
and I say yes, I can still remember,
although I don't know exactly what
my last problem was, but I do remember
when I was angry the last time,
I can clearly remember. That was
on 23rd December 1979, I know,
it's been a while. And since then
you were never angry again?
I say yes, since then I was never
angry again, as it doesn't achieve
anything. Just think about it, if
something really annoying happens,
and you're really angry, 'cause you
just have to be angry if something
like that happens. Did it make the
situation better, did anything change?
No! You only wasted energy, nerves,
and your good mood, but the situation
remains unchanged. It's still annoying,
and you could be angry again.
Being angry doesn't achieve a thing,
it's unworthy of a homo sapiens.
We should erase that.
We should just not do it, and this can
easily be unlearned, we can talk about
that later. You can unlearn being
angry forever by
acknowledging that an annoying
situation is only a chance for
the better.
If I then focus on my awareness
and say no way, not like that!
How do I want this to be?
Then I'm not with the problem, or
in this annoying situation, but
with the ideal. What would be the
solution, what would be the steps,
what could I do right now?
That's an option I can recommend
to anybody. Simply see every
annoying situation only as a
chance to make things better, and
most importantly, use it! B: Nice!
Let's talk about your everyday life
for a bit. There's many people
who, just when I think of
people that I know,
who live their daily life very
seclusive, they don't exercise,
have very little social contacts,
and it's really noticeable that in our
health system or our society,
that these people are being
excluded a bit.
How does your daily life look like,
is there something you specifically
pay attention to, something that's
particularly good for you?
T: I don't need to pay attention,
as life gives me a situation in each
moment, and my only job is
to turn this situation
into its ideal.
So I have the same task all day
so to speak.
I take the content of this moment
and make it what it could be
in its ideal state. That's what I enjoy,
that's what I look forward to. It's fun
to constantly turn life into its ideals.
It's always different, each moment
something different happens, that's
the nice part, and
hardly anyone acknowledges that,
each moment is unique. Our
meeting for example, right now.
The universe has been around
for about 15 billion years according
to science.
But this moment right now
has never happened,
and it will never happen again,
which means that this moment is
absolutely unique, I'm aware of that.
The moment is so very unique,
when it's over, it's over forever, it
will never come back.
So I can only change it to its ideal
now, and that's how I live and
experience each moment as a unique
moment that has never happened
and will never happen again.
B: I'm so grateful that I managed
to get hold of you, especially since
I've known you for many years,
well, not really known, but I'm glad
you gave me the chance to interview
you, that we can have a chat.
I'm definitely taking this in very
consciously. T: Wonderful! And I
hope that we won't stay alone,
that you will still interview many
others. What I'm saying is a
chance for the better, which means
someone else could say ok, that
makes sense to me, and only
what makes sense to him,
what he likes, what's important to him,
he'll pick out and says ok, I'm doing
this now, I'll do this for sure, I'll
be consequent. And then
a miracle happens. If he does that
21 times, without interruptions,
if he always acts like that in a
situation, then some old preventing
programs in the subconscious
are possibly overwritten with the
new program. The new program
is installed as a habit and you
won't need to worry, you do
everything automatically.
A new habit has formed, that you
created. B: Shouldn't it be 28
days?
That's what I heard. T: Try it.
You might not need the full 21
days.
I noticed that even in very persistent
cases, where you've been doing
something for 30 years already,
something deeply programmed in
the subconscious, but once it's done
uninterrupted for 21 days...
unless you interrupt and have to
start counting again.
If you do it uninterrupted 21 times,
even the longest, deepest
program will be erased and
overwritten.
Usually it takes around 10-12 times,
but in persistent cases it can also
take 21 tries.
I never experienced that it took
22 times.
B: Yes, I think for many this is
hard to comprehend, the
negative beliefs
that we set for ourselves,
to completely change them in such
a short time.
T: Who are you, if you remember
once again.
I don't have any belief systems,
well, I don't mean myself when I
say I.
I mean the ego. The ego has no
beliefs, so if I have negative beliefs,
I've once again turned my
attention to my ego.
The ego has negative beliefs.
Me, myself, I don't have that.
So I can only say that my ego has
negative beliefs. And that's ok,
that's none of my business,
it's my ego, it's not perfect, it's not
its path or its
task, it can't be
perfect. It's restricted
by our humanness and that's ok.
So I have the fullest understanding,
but I have no belief.
I know that, so when I see a
negative belief, I acknowledge it
and analyze how I see it,
I have no standpoint here, the
ego has no standpoint, but the self
knows. So I say and think
that it is what it is, how is it really.
I take a look and realize it's ok,
it's all good, the moment is fulfilled
and the negative belief is
released.
It stays with the ego, I don't worry
about it, I don't have to convince my
ego to change or do something,
it's totally fine. It's only important
that I don't have anything like that.
B: That's hard for many. T: Not at all!
It's rather easy!
You just have to get out of the ego
identification and become
an observer again.
Then you're no longer identified
by your ego, you then no longer
have negative beliefs, only your
ego has them, and you know how
it really is.
B: What was the best decision
you made in your life?
T: I can easily respond to that in
one sentence.
To trust in life, to fully count
on life and to let myself be guided
by an inner wisdom.
B: I'm smiling, for those of you
who can't see me. Beautiful.
What are you grateful for? T: For
every single moment, each time,
I feel it very consciously, and I
say over and over again, how can
you experience something so great
that I experience in each moment?
In each moment I'm
gifted with a unique situation,
but not only me, everybody!
Most of us don't even notice,
most people don't even fully
live.
While their life happens, they are
busy with other things, they are not
at the place where life happens,
and that's so important!
For us to remember over and over,
who am I really? I'm not who I see
in the mirror, I'm not the one who
has problems, who is angry, who's
scared and worries.
Another wisdom of words: to make
worries (German saying). If you don't
make them, they wouldn't be there.
Or, I was annoyed,
because someone else can't even
annoy me, he can do something,
but I have to annoy myself, and
the wisdom of the language tells
me too, I was annoyed at him, if he
wouldn't have done it I wouldn't
have been annoyed. But why do
I give him the power to annoy me,
that's impossible!
So when I'm conscious, and that's
a very important step, to
decide who I currently live
in. Do I live as a human, who was
born at some point, who ages
over time and gets ill from time
to time and who will eventually die,
or am I
an eternal being, pure existence.
Am I awakened consciousness?
Then there's no problems, no
fears, no sorrows, all that
does not happen.
Nothing can happen to me, and
that's such a liberating feeling,
so relieving, to be aware
that nothing can happen to me
here.
I'm indestructible,
I'm simply eternal, I simply am.
And that's the reality, but that's
not the truth. I am real, but what's
happening here is only reality.
It's just a movie, it's an
interactive movie where I can
intervene, or I can let it happen, but
it's only a movie, so I don't let
myself be impressed by events
of reality when really bad things
are happening. I get asked
sometimes, what would you do if
you were sick,
unemployed, lonely and completely
broke. Ok, I say, then I have several
tasks at the same time, but I can
only ever do one,
so I need to choose first which
is the most important for me right
now. I turn to the most important
task. I would probably choose health,
because I first need to have the
strength to handle
the other things.
So I leave the other tasks
and pick health,
and I ask myself, ok, why am I
not healthy?
And then I realize that we don't
have to do anything for our health,
we just have to stop sabotaging
it constantly by the wrong
behaviours.
B: Do you have a real example
for that, something authentic out of
your own life? T: Not from my own
life, no, but as we just said,
to be annoyed or angry. Smoking
for example, it shortens the life
expectancy by about 8 years on
average, leads to many diseases
and is expensive, so we just can't
do that to ourselves. Or anger,
let's stick with this example as it is
more common and widespread.
Most people think they have to
get angry when something
annoying happens, but be aware
that you can't afford that.
Because if you get angry about
something, your anger will lead to
a new angry situation in the future.
That means, each anger is always
shifted to the future, as another
annoying situation, and most people
believe that's life, and they don't
notice that they are stuck in their
hamster wheel, constantly creating
new causes for their anger.
At some point this has to stop,
and that's only the negative part you
should let go of, the positive part,
the other side is, what can I do
to strengthen my health?
For instance, buy real food.
I mean, who does that? Buying
actual food, not only stimulants
and junk. When I check in the
supermarket how much life is in my
food. Or something even simpler,
which is free, don't
breathe.
I've done that all the time, for the
past centuries. This way I inevitably
and very consciously become
more enlightened with every breath.
Of course this sends a different wave
through my body as well, my
physical body, which reflects
this as health and
then as pure vitality.
So there's a lot to do, everyone
knows what's most important for
them. The first step is, what
should I stop doing, and then
what should I be doing for
my health. That will keep you busy
for a lifetime.
B: Yes, I agree.
Let's move on to the core question
of quintessence. What's your own
personal quintessence?
T: Well, my quintessence...that's
not only one thing, it's more
things that are important to me.
My quintessence is the
first step.
We came with a specific purpose,
that I should recognize and fulfil,
as I can only lead a happy and
fulfilled life when I realised my
purpose in life and fulfilled it.
Very important. The next step in
quintessence, we should follow
our calling.
We shouldn't do a task to earn
money, as money doesn't need
to be earned at all, it just
needs to be generated, and if I'm
generating it anyways, why not by
doing something I enjoy?
I simply allow life to pay me
generously by doing something
I enjoy the most, which makes me
happy. And I can't even call that
work anymore, as it's
pure joy for me, it's
like a paid ongoing vacation, my
task feels like a non-stop holiday
and I'm being paid for it! B: Glorious!
T: And even more
importantly, part of the quintessence
is to gain consciousness.
I shouldn't live in the illusion of
my ego, as this would mean I'm
living in the wrong movie.
I'd be living a wrong life, as the ego
creates an ego life, and only when
I gained consciousness,
I can create a life that really
correlates with me.
Only once I gained consciousness
I can lead my life. Most
people let their mind lead their
life and therefore their ego,
so they are not really
part of their life, and they can't be
happy. Only once I lead my life
by myself,
which means once I awakened,
I can lead my life myself,
only then it is really my own life.
I should always
be one with my
consciousness and be guided
by the universal wisdom.
Just think about how
drastically your life will change
if you only make the right
decisions. No more
exceptions, as
you're being guided by the
universal wisdom. But in this
guidance you also recognise the
ideal answer to every question.
It keeps happening to my mind, that
someone asks a question, maybe even
in this interview, and the mind says
"see, you don't know the answer,
she got you, you don't know it."
I respond, true, I don't know it yet,
but before she even finishes the
question, I googled it.
In an office scenario of course, I
always have a pen with me,
I need to take notes, I want to
really understand things.
I didn't know that until now - great
that she asked a question I
couldn't answer.
But I can ask my boss.
That's why it's also so essential
for me to be constantly online,
to be guided by the universal
wisdom. Then we
don't only find the answer to every
question, we also realise the best
solution for each task, the right
way, the optimal steps. And
it's always a chance for the better.
B: Wonderful.
T: But there's still
a bit more that's quite
essential:
I have to let go of everything that
doesn't fit into my ideal life. We
talked about the anger, but also
a past for example. Most people
carry around a heavy past or
an unhappy childhood,
and if someone comes to me
and says, Mr Tepperwein, I had
such a terrible childhood,
then I only say, aren't you happy
that it's over?
They won't come back, they
don't really need to be treated,
just let go. What
distresses you, is that you're
still carrying it around with you.
Just understand, that this
has made you the person you are
today. So leave it where it belongs,
it's the past, it will never come
back, just let go
of it.
That's letting go. And the positive
part is, to consciously step in.
I'm referring to this as a chance again,
step into your own natural perfection.
It's only one step.
You simply do whatever you are
currently doing, as perfectly
as you can. And as you are
an observer watching yourself,
you see how you're getting more and
more perfect, until your whole life is an
expression of your own natural perfection.
That way you experience life as
a fascinating adventure. An
expedition to yourself.
And you're always grateful for
the wonderful gift to live. And
of course you are consciously living
as an immortal, nothing can harm you.
But I also experience this,
and anyone can -
not I am acting, but god acts
through me. I'm only the observer
how god completes his creation
through me. I only let happen
what's happening, I'm just a channel
for the doing of the highest.
Only then you are ready for
the next dimension.
That's the quintessence.
B: Thank you. Ok, I think we are
ready for the last question or rather
for a smooth finish, so I'd like
to ask you, is there anything
else, something specific that you
would like to share with our listeners,
or do you have a secret that you've
always wanted to pass on,
is there something you've always
wanted to do but haven't, maybe
now would be the right
moment to decide to do it...
Is there anything else that you'd
like to share with us?
Oh, I'm so sorry, the interviews
are usually done in an informal
talk (B addressed T informally),
that's what I decided, to reach
people on a more direct and
personal level, that's
why this slipped out!
T: Me and my ego don't care at all
how you address me! But to get back
to the first part of your question,
there's nothing I wanted to do and
haven't, because in the moment I
realise that I'd like to do it, I
immediately start doing it.
But I can give some more advice.
Once again, start simple,
by implementing the first
step: letting go of
everything that's imperfect.
Start letting go.
The secret is, once you've let go
of everything imperfect, then you
are perfect. You enjoy the
apparent diversity of reality,
while always being aware of your
own identity. You're living in
awakened awareness.
You're living in your natural
buddha awareness.
That's the chance for this moment,
anyone can take this step right
now.
B: Very nice, what I great finish.
Thank you so much for these
inspiring words, also about
yourself and your own life, and
particularly for all the knowledge
around it,
thank you.
To finish, I'd like to summarise
3 of Mr Tepperwein's conclusions
once again.
Most people allow their mind
to lead their lives.
Everything we experience is
a message. And this very moment
is absolutely unique.
Each of the podcast episodes
also carries a message, authentic
and straight out of life, giving
you the chance to reflect.
I'm looking forward to your
personal comments for this episode,
your feedback is absolutely essential!
Below in the show-notes you can
find some further information on
Mr Tepperwein and a registration
link for the webinar. See you soon!
