It seems that when I see the word surrender, I have difficulty surrendering to the idea of surrendering itself. How do you deal with that?

First, decide what you interpret as surrendering. What does surrender mean to you? I struggled with this same exact concept. I am definitely a fighter. I don’t think I have ever thrown in the towel on anything that I considered worth fighting for. When I say surrender, it’s about the things that you are hanging onto unconsciously. It’s about the things that are weighing you down and that prevent you from progressing further.

Making money, spiritually working on yourself and doing all of these things . . . they are all positive attributes. Who would want to surrender those things? Let’s say that you went through a separation and your ex moved on with their life. They got married but you are still thinking about them, so you cannot move on with your life. You cannot meet other people because, emotionally, you cannot manifest the energy inside of yourself to put into other people. So, you say, “I really need to surrender this because I cannot give it up. But, logically, I see that I need to.” This is an issue to surrender.

Now you can say, “Well, I will get them back.” But logic says there is something better for you, and your ex has a right to the happiness they found. Therefore, this is something that you should surrender so that you can accept better things to come into your life.

Another type of surrendering is something you are obsessed with that just doesn’t seem to be working out. You keep hammering at it to no avail.

Now, you might say, “Well, maybe this one time it is not going to work out for me.” Really, it is just a matter of asking yourself, “Am I listening to my inner guidance or am I letting my brain get in the way so that I can force it to work, whether it’s right or not. I’m going to fit the square peg into a

round hole and I know it can be done.” My question is, “Do you think there is a better way to go about that?”

Some people might need to surrender the pain of losing someone they love. And they, again, are stuck. Most of the time, surrender is used for emotional issues. Emotion is the closest thing to a universal language, meaning God or the Universe or whatever you wish to call it.

When you are a soul or a spirit, you do not have vocal cords. You are not going to talk like a human does. There is a different way to communicate. It is very complex, but it is essentially based upon emotions.

Emotionally, we internalize words and they get into our mind or our higher consciousness and clog things up. Our Navigator says, “You need to deal with this. You need to resolve this problem so that you can progress.” This is the process of letting go and coming to terms with the issue rather than hanging on to the people who have already left. The whole world is passing you by and you are stagnating.

So, those are the kinds of things that should be strategically surrendered. It is about finding what you feel you need to surrender through your Navigator. Your higher truth is something that is stifling you, preventing you from progressing. Write a list of the things that you feel should be surrendered. Simply sit back, relax, clear your mind and ask yourself internally — don’t even verbalize, rather feel, “What are my issues?”

Do not expect to hear a voice in your head that says, “Well, you have to deal with your child, etc.” Watch for images or emotions that come up. The emotions usually are tied to an image or a particular situation. You will know exactly what the emotion is. It has an abundance of information and you will know what that is. And then write it down as something that you may want to look into further. Often, the things that you need to surrender are the things that you are not even aware of.

I emphasize that you should just sit back, clear your mind, create your space, and go inside of yourself. Let things surface. Internalize the question, ‘What are the blockages that I need to release?’ There is a sense of awareness in all of us that communicates to us unconsciously. It almost prevents us or misdirects us, and you need to understand that it is a kind of intention or resistance that tries to keep you within the Doe. It is kind of an elusive consciousness that communicates to you and makes you forget

about surrendering. You have to trust your Navigator, not so much your brain, to interpret what you are feeling.

Do not try to figure out what that is. Jot it down and then write down what you think it is connected to. Just let it flow. Put it out and then go back to it later and analyze it, but don’t analyze it as it is coming to you. That is the million dollar secret: don’t get emotionally caught up. Treat yourself as a second person. Be the mind, which is perfect. You would be amazed what can happen when you set up rules for yourself. Just acknowledge it by saying, “Okay, I’m not going to get emotional about this. I’m going to treat this as if I’m assisting someone else, but it’s me.”

Your soul consciousness is perfection. It is the brain and all the experiences from life; like emotions and all of the organic processes that get us all jacked up. So, you need to trust the Navigator to ask your organic brain the question. The organic brain, as long as you are not being emotional, will respond without thinking about it. And then you just jot it down.

There is a module from Higher Balance Institute called Reverse Engineering the Self that explains how you can identify the “I’s.” That will identify other consciousnesses in your mind that are not necessarily you.

They are part of your brain mechanism. When you isolate all of them, you have a lot more ability to decode all of this.

How does the ego get in the way of surrendering? What are some instances or techniques to try to break through that?

I think some people erroneously think of the ego as something that is bad. I certainly have an ego, and a lot of people are shocked when I say that. I do not think that I could have achieved the level of consciousness or the abilities that I have without the ego. I see the ego not as myself but as a tool to push myself. I see the ego in the sense of confidence and a source of willpower. I believe that if you set your mind to something or you tell people, “This is what I am going to do,” your ego or your pride makes you follow through.

You can also have a negative ego. A negative ego is the kind of ego that blinds you. When you have too much pride or too much arrogance, you

blind yourself to how your actions can affect others or even yourself. So it is very important to acknowledge the difference between your positive ego and negative ego. As a point of interest, all of the spiritual masters from Christ, Buddha, and Krishna were considered extremely arrogant by outsiders or by other spiritual people. It really comes down to the fact that your actions and communications express the message you are sending to others. People are genuinely shocked when I say, “Spiritually you can find enlightenment, but you will also have an ego.” Use the ego as part of your organic self to push you to attain the higher states of consciousness.

White cells should acknowledge that there is something very different about them. It is engrained in us that we are not supposed to feel that way.

We are taught that is arrogant and that is where the problem begins. We become our own worst enemy by accepting the concept that we are not supposed to acknowledge ourselves as being different. We have to acknowledge that we are different. If you want to call it special, then call it special. I did not call it special. You have to feel your uniqueness. You have to acknowledge your uniqueness. You have to empower yourself with the idea that you are important. There is a reason why you feel it. We always hear, “You think you are better than everyone else.” I’ve heard that my whole life and it really was not about that for me. It was a need to serve some kind of greater cause. I understood that. If other people do not feel that, then it is not my problem. I am not concerned with whether or not they understand that or not. I am concerned whether or not I feel it. I need to figure out what I should be doing with this feeling. I want to fulfill my purpose. I feel very proud, very privileged, honored, and mostly humbled by the fact that I feel a sense of being connected to something — the Universe — God – something greater than myself.

White cells are like salmon trying to find their way back to their point of origin as they face all sorts of dams, rotor blades, bears, wild animals and many other obstacles. This is just another obstacle, but a very psychological one and nobody wants to call it out. You have to be very careful what you define as your ego, and what you are trying to release.

How do I focus on surrendering one small issue without being distracted by other minor issues?

I would not surrender any of the outer issues. Instead, look into your psyche. It comes down to how you are designed. It is the design of your organic brain. It is like you are trying to direct everything down a one lane highway but you have four lanes merging into one lane. You need to construct a better mechanism for processing things. It is definitely an emotional issue that you are taking on. In other words, all the problems that you have going on are not necessarily the major problem. You want to take them all on at the same time. And the part of you that feels the need to take them all on at once is what you need to isolate and surrender. The desire to do that is overwhelming you and creating the overload. If you remove that, you will replace it with something more advanced. You will be able to deal with those issues a lot better. It will allow you to reach higher states of consciousness in everyday life and in business.

Since I was a baby, I’ve struggled from sexual abuse and I have been disabled for the past six years. So, how can I tell if that is part of what has held me back for so long?

Since you are bringing it up right now, that is a good indication that there still is a problem. It is generally because something is telling you,

“These memories are my problems and my issues.” That is what surfaces in your consciousness.

Personally, I think the way that I have lived consciously all my life is because so many people around me treated me differently. I always felt different. I let them dictate to me, not the bad or the horrible person they thought I was, but it has been a big challenge for me. Even with my own family. There is a need in us as white cells to appease people. We do not want to hurt anybody. We want to make them happy. When they ask us to give up our identity and not to acknowledge it in anyway, we give up ourselves. We are our own worst enemy, in that case. It is not that we do it on purpose; it’s just our nature to appease others.

I’m going to walk you through the Surrender technique, so prepare yourself by ensuring that you are not going to be disturbed by this. Find a nice place to sit back, like a comfortable chair or a couch. You can lie down

if you like or recline in a chair. I do not recommend sitting in any chairs that do not have arms in case you happen to slouch over unintentionally.

You might want to grab a notebook or something to write on and a pen.

I want you to jot down at least four things that you think are the issues that you would like to release. So, go ahead and do that now. You are going to go through a session and I am going to help you decide what you are going to work on. It is very important to selectively choose something significant to surrender. Don’t choose a group of things or plan to surrender your ego.

You have to be more specific than that. You have to decide on a specific issue and chip away at that one particular thing.

You should not surrender more than one thing a week. You can keep working on surrendering that one issue if you do not feel like you have fully released the issue. Spend a week working on it if you have to, and that will make a difference, especially if you are using the Higher Balance material.

So, now that you have chosen a few things, select one concern out of the four. Now, sit back in your chair and relax. Do not cross your legs or your hands. Place them by your side or somewhere comfortable or on your lap.

Do not have them crisscrossing each other or folded on top of each other, and the same goes for your legs.

Feel your forehead, your ears, and your inner ears. Relax and just let them go. Feel your throat and your shoulder blades sinking. Relax your arms and your hands. Feel your chest relaxing and sinking.

Relax your stomach, your lower back, and your hips. Your mind is floating and easing. The brain is easing. The body is easing. Relaxing through your thighs and your knees, your calves; feeling relaxed and comfortable. Feel your whole body as if it were made of lead.

Now, allow the issue you chose to surface — something that you are going to surrender. Know what it is that you are calling on. What is the problem? Speak it again in your mind. What is the problem?

Feel it. Associate the feeling with the problem. Now, see it from an outside perspective as if you were feeling it from outside of yourself.

You are feeling for yourself but it is not of you. Now, feel the

vibration. Feel the feeling of what it is that you are choosing to surrender. Feel the familiarity of it.

Now envision a clear box inside of yourself, a transparent box that is holding that feeling, and it’s residing inside of your chest area where your heart is. Visualize it being lifted up by your hands, but don’t move your hands yet. It’s as if you are taking the box inside of your chest and bringing your hands to the sides of your rib cage and then lifting it like it was a big box or cake. Inside of the box is the problem. This is the emotion that you choose to surrender. Say it with me, “I surrender this. I surrender this. From the depths of my being, from the depths of my soul, it is time to set this free. I choose to free this. I choose to surrender this. I choose to liberate myself.”

Now, lift the box upward from your sides. Lift it up slowly, higher and higher. Now, release your hands and like a helium balloon, see the box floating away. Floating away. Floating away. Keep seeing it floating away. Feel it going away. Releasing it; releasing it from the depths of your being. Releasing it; seeing it getting smaller and smaller and smaller in the distance. It’s becoming a little dot and it disappears. Send it now out to the Universe.

Again, say with me, “I free myself of this. I no longer carry this.

No longer is this a blockage. I release it. I am at peace and one with the Universe. I invite God within me. I invite God within my being, and I ask that God, the Universe, purge me of all my blockages: remove from me all of the negative energies and blockages that may be within me; let them surface and release them. Surface and release them. Surface and release them.

Feeling relaxed and comfortable, take a nice deep breath in through your nose and exhale out. Deep breath in. I want you to release any last bits of that energy as you exhale this time.

Thank you again for your time. Thank you for choosing to spend it with me.
