In this episode, pulled from the Higher Balance archives, Eric shares a unique process of rising above the static and communicating the Force, called the Prayer of Enlightenment. This is not prayer in the typical sense. It goes far beyond, and when properly used it can begin to alter one’s reality in profound ways. For every Navigator facing challenges along the way, this class is for you. Enjoy.   In this show we cover:  A new way to understand and use prayer  How to plug into and communicate with God Rising above the static of the prayers of the masses Benefits of being an optimist and working with the Universe instead The difference between being grateful and being thankful and which will get you the best results     For more on these topics: Thought Reflection – In Thought Reflection, Eric reveals the hidden connection between your own thoughts and the collective consciousness of the planet.  Although they seem to originate in your consciousness, maybe your thoughts are not actually yours! As you begin to contemplate the knowledge contained in Thought Reflection, you will expand your mind to new levels of awareness. Begin deconstructing and taking control of your thoughts. Power of Surrender - Most people have it all wrong – surrendering. They think in order to surrender, you must become submissive, often to another person, and this is repeated over, and over, never quite believing you’ve accomplished anything because there’s always the guilt, shame, and begging for forgiveness. You relive your experiences and feel the need to surrender all over again. Did you know that surrender is finding peace within you? It is the struggle to find the missing piece to complete who you are.  Surrender is the strength to forgive yourself, unconditionally, by honestly acknowledging what you are forgiving yourself for. And once you have the key, the Universe will take it from there. It will change you in profound ways. The Optimist - Nearly every single piece of spiritual literature available conveys the message of optimism being the key to happiness and fulfillment in all areas of your life.  Let’s face it, being pessimistic is human nature, and none of those New Age gratitude books tell us how to transcend that Alisone - The universe is a pretty big place...unimaginably BIG! So, how can God be everywhere? Maybe you’ve heard people say this but could never really grasp this concept because it doesn’t make sense logically. Maybe you’ve wondered how God can be everywhere when you can’t see or hear Him.  It may be time to surrender that outdated image of an old man sitting on a cloud and replace it with a new, more universally realistic image.  Why use your physical 5 senses to experience a non-physical being? Struggle to Awaken - On your journey to attain higher states of consciousness, there are sure to be many obstacles one must overcome. A path full of deterrents and hardships is the way of the White Cell. In this module, Eric addresses some of the major struggles seekers of enlightenment come across and offers his words of wisdom on overcoming these commonplace obstacles. In this module, change your perception of reality and overcome the things holding you back from pursuing your spiritual growth.
