Hey all,
Quick shout out to all the people in this forum. I always like finding places where people are commited to truth.
Anyhoo, I have been a member of Higher Balance for nearly four months now, and would like to answer some of the rejections to Coyote's post. I know how truly humbled he has been recently from his experiences, and I think it is only fair that I defend HBI/Eric Pepin if a comment has been made that I have seen evidence to the contrary.
Firstly, Eric can and does use hypnotism in some of the modules. This is limited to but a few cd's, and in these it is designed firstly to relax the listener, and secondly to take their mind on a journey which may or may not help the listener to work out their own mental issues (ego, control, anger etc etc). I personally do not have a problem with this, as it is my decision to allow myself to be taken into a state for my own benefit. I am fairly well schooled in the workings of psychology (current BSc), and more 'alternative' approaches such as NLP. To date I am unaware that Eric would use any techniques to alter peoples mind state against their will, and have not found any evidence that he has to me without my knowing.
I think Coyote will agree that HBI is the best he has found, and that it is also perfectly possible that a better alternative exists that he hasn't been found (Eric consistently points to other teachings that are not his own. After all, Truth is truth, no matter which mouth it comes from). I will re-emphasise Coyote's comment that a lot of HBI's advantages comes from the 'straight to the point' nature of the material. It provides results, in the form of techniques/abilities etc to try and bypass the limitations we impose upon ourselves, but also later *huge* emphasis on working on your own issues and how these may effect you and those around you. It is certainly better than a lot of the "new age quackery" that I found and experimented with to date.
I am sorry that you have met HBI members who so fervently believe that Eric is the next messiah. I know for certain that Eric would be devastated to hear this, but I should imagine he also expected it. It is somewhat fairly natural for those with lesser ability to look up to those that have a much higher ability. But I simply cannot stess enough the amount of times that Eric has asked for us not to do this. I could quote various things he has written himself, but I could go on and on forever. He has said he does not want to be seen as an enlightened teacher, as with that will come human interpretations and expectation, and he will fail. If anyone puts him on a pedastool, he will come crashing down, and he sadly acknowledges this.
The fact that these people reacted quite violently is a demonstation of their development. You shall know them by their fruits, and their fruits alone.
"A master who is truly dedicated to enlightenment is commited to purifying the emotions and ego cravings that arise simultaneously with the acquisition of power" (furry) ---> When you get past psychic development (as a means to an end) etc, Eric is always talking about the upmost importance of this. Is it possible for Eric to personally try to advise each and everyone one of the tens of thousands of people who have purchased the foundation set on the exact shortcomings of their ego? No. Has he produced numerous CD's/material that talk about this? Yes. It is also some of the best explained material I have found on these matters, without giving students tidbits of information, and asking them to return in 10 years when they have thought about it properly. Eric is simply trying to give people what it is they need to know, and he is trying to teach his students to find their own power. Yes, sometimes he will raise the vibration of the areas around him etc, and he explains that he does so as to be shown a place can sometimes increase the likelyhood of finding it again on your own.
Please try to see past the limitations of the members you have already spoken to. After all, isn't it normally the 'masses' that corrupt every genuine system for truth? You only have to look at some of the worlds religions to see this.
Faune, a whole module named "The Power of Surrender" is entirly dedicated to the nature of finding enlightenment. Only by truly surrendering to the will of God/Universal Energy/The Force/The Universe can any form of true enlightenment can be found. To try too hard is to miss the point entirely. Eric normally refers to this in his adopted jargon as "being fluidic". I think bruce lee used to speak of the same thing
Eric also aknowledges the existance of other sources who have the same knowledge or take on things. His own emphasis, is to collate this and communicate it in a way that people can understand quickly, in attempt to try and avoid some of the hinderance that occurs along any path.
I hope you can see what I am trying to say. Also, there has been talk in this thread of other sources who are more advanced or closer to the truth per se. Can we know about these sources to explore them as well? I know I am certainly not holding any cards to my chest.
Namaste to you all,
LostCameleon
