Should we try to surrender our most painful issues first in order to progress faster?

There is no particular order for surrender, but don’t go for the big issues immediately. Start with little ones. Start with anything that comes to mind.

Take fifteen minutes every few days and let whatever pops up come out in your ceremonial process. Create it however you want. This process is between you and yourself. Once an issue arises, you say out loud, “I’m going to release this. I’m going to forgive myself for this. I’m going to surrender this unconditionally. If I get hurt again because of this, I accept the hurt. If I am punished for this, I accept the punishment. If any negative consequences arise from this, I accept them. I surrender to whatever it is that is going to happen, and I accept it willingly.”

When you start releasing your issues, your life will get better by leaps and bounds. It is pivotal that you acknowledge yourself as the benefactor of the quality of your life. You can either learn to surrender or not surrender.

When I mentioned earlier that there are many levels of surrendering, perhaps you understand now what I meant by that.

As you begin working on yourself, you will release your issues. You may have to release them several times. You are used to them being a part of you, so you will recreate them and will have to release them again.

Eventually you will come out on top and progress from there. You are working with layers. Remember, those issues are the perpetrators that are holding the frequency you vibrate outward. Your frequency is how the Universe recognizes you and responds to you. So if you are unhappy with your life and the hand that has been dealt to you, understand that you have played a role in that decision. You have the power to relinquish your unhappiness. It is a choice you consciously make. You can choose to surrender it or you can accept the circumstances and the terms of your life right now.

A basic layout for the surrendering process is that each day, week, month or whenever you feel the moment is right, you will choose a special place. You do not have to vocalize it, but you can. It is really your personal

choice. You want the ritual to have consistency. You want to say, “I forgive myself. I release and surrender this issue.”

When you start to surrender your issues and do the Foundation Meditation along with the other tools from Higher Balance, your results will be amplified. If you thought you had amazing results before, after the surrender process takes place, it will be a lot more intense. As I’ve said several times, your thoughts and the vibration you emit is based on how the brain interprets your perspective of the world and your acceptance of what society has led you to believe is your experience. You created a vibration inside of yourself for either reward or punishment. The punishment comes from that learned perspective. That is the bottom line.

When you accept the terms of your life and you don’t make a choice to surrender, are you contributing to the hand that is dealt to you?

Everything that I teach is based on the level of your consciousness and experience. Experiences are the vibrational fibers that build your soul and your dimensional body. We speak about reincarnation and spiritual progression; this concept is the foundation of it all. When you leave the physical body, the vibration that your frequency emanates is the deciding factor for the level you move into in the realms of the vibrations of God. It is how you are going to recognize that final level that you are seeking. It also determines the affect and circumstances of your next incarnation.

When you receive the knowledge I’m giving you right now but don’t make the effort to attain it, then you accept the level of your current vibration. If you say, “I’m too tired. I’m too lazy. I’m not willing. I’ve got too many things going on in my life right now,” you accept the fact that you’re not completely happy with everything in your life. You accept where you are without really saying it. You have to put forth some effort to improve the level of your vibration.

When you meditate, you are trying to build the skills to understand the Universe and your place within it. You want to expand your knowledge base, your influence, and explore. All of these are excellent things to strive for. They are all worthwhile goals to achieve. But if you ask me: “What is surrender? How can I accelerate my experiences? How can I manifest

accelerated experiences?” This is how to do it. Drop the baggage you are carrying around with you. Drop it now! Drop it, and continue on with your other experiences. Those experiences are going to blossom profoundly. If you choose not to do that, you will carry around dead weight. But if you deal with that dead weight, you will reprogram your dimensional consciousness to be lighter, brighter and more influential in your spiritual experiences.

Surrender is the most powerful tool you can possess. Your consciousness and your experiences in life, both good and bad, develop the tonal, texture and fibers of your being. Your experiences are fibers that create the embodiment of your dimensional body. Everything you learn from all the other Higher Balance material teaches you how to move that body. You learn to empower it and how to enrich the information you get from these experiences. This, in turn, makes you feel more positive.

All the other Higher Balance material will not teach you how to remove negative fibers from your vibration. Surrender is unique in that it allows you to work with those little fibers. Without surrender, it is also difficult to achieve the results you strive for in those other spiritual programs.

Surrender allows you to remove the negative fibers that are interwoven deeply into your spiritual consciousness. It gives you the ability to purge them. After purging all of those fibers, your tonal is so much brighter and lighter. You can experience the tones like a major scale: do, re, mi, fa, so.

You experience ‘so’ without even leaving your physical body.

You can experience a much higher frequency that was previously unimaginable. Also, you can sustain those places longer and enrich yourself with a higher quality of information. You learn, with Surrender, that even those negative events in your life are experiences to learn from. They are not who you really are, but you have accepted it as fact, as a part of your being. You can release them. You have the power to release them. See yourself from a higher perspective and heal all of those deep psychological wounds. Heal them effortlessly.

Those deep-seated negative vibrations have a lot to do with disease, illness, psychological problems, fatigue, depression, sociological problems and prosperity issues. I don’t like compiling them all together, but think about it. Your state of mind is how you come across to other people and how they will react to you. What you internalize emotionally will affect

your immune system. That internalization affects the embodiment of this journey in your physical life. Surrender will provide a simple but incredibly powerful method to release those things that hold you back.

Simply by forgiving yourself, you transform negativity into a higher vibration.

When something happens to you, it affects your psyche in a very traumatic way. You have personalized it because of everything that your senses have taken in. When you watch something on TV, you do not internalize it the same way but you learn from it and gain wisdom about those particular circumstances. But you haven’t internalized it the same as a physical experience. You can take all the experiences from your entire lifetime and, instead of internalizing them and making them a part of you, surrender the affect they have on you. They are not part of you. As a dimensional being, you have the ability to extract them and make them part of your progression and wisdom instead of internalizing them and choosing to have a lower tonal. It is a matter of perspective. It is a matter of simply forgiving a circumstance. You release the hold and those fibers become part of your knowledge instead.

When you die and move into your dimensional self before you incarnate, a lot of the information you hold is digested in the same way.

The bigger issues transcend into the next life. You are dealing with all of your issues right now so that by the time you transcend and dump what little is left, the show is over. You are an enlightened being. You progressed to such a level of infinite understanding, it’s profound. Even enlightened beings carry those fibers. It is not to say that the fibers will ever be removed totally, but the more you remove them, the greater your experiences will be. How you perceive, experience, and relate with life will be dramatically improved. I promise you it is going to be a very, very pleasant journey.

Would someone be making a critical mistake if they overlook surrender?

You have initiated a quest by searching out someone like me. The purpose of searching is because you want to improve yourself. You want to

develop and complete yourself. You search for knowledge that will, somehow, benefit you. Understand what I am saying to you now. Read it over and over and over again. Not all in the same day, maybe not in the same week. But once every few weeks or every few months, reflect on this again and each time you will go deeper. The Doe is going to try to make you forget a lot of this discussion, especially this particular part. I promise you above all other material that you have learned; this one will evaporate from your mind the fastest. There is a reason for that. The concept of surrender is ultimately the most powerful tool to help you awaken.

Can someone surrender or go through the surrender process if they haven’t prepared to do it?

That is not a typical situation. You have to be ready to begin the process of surrender. It’s not something you can do while driving a car or when you are busy with other things. You might find ways to do that, but it will turn into an emotional release instead of true surrender. An emotional release is when you just need to cry over a bad situation, a breakup, the loss of a loved one or something to that effect. There is a difference between surrendering and having an emotional release. That is more of a biochemical release than an inner-fibered release, like true surrender.

One of the worst things that you can experience is the loss of a loved one. You should try to surrender that type of loss in the first week or even the first year. You will know when you are ready to release it. You are just not sure how to go about doing it. You cannot move on with your life until you come to terms with your loss. The first step is to sit down and forgive yourself for feeling that you’re ready to give it up. That can create feelings of guilt, so forgive yourself for wanting to release it. Recognize that it is okay to move on. Surrender that emotion, that guilt, that pain, that loss. Let it all go. Surrendering that loss does not mean you no longer acknowledge or miss them anymore. It is now a different perspective in your consciousness. It now seems like an event on TV instead of something that you internalize and has a direct and profound effect on you.

You have to remember one simple thing: life goes on. It is selfish to prevent other people from moving on to whatever destination they are

meant to go. They have their own progression and their own agenda. When you can accept the fact that they need to move on, you should release them in your consciousness. The feeling is like letting your child go to college or releasing the people that you love and want to hold close. If you really love them, you will set them free. That is the hardest thing to do. The sooner you can do that, the sooner you can grow and allow new opportunities to come into your life. The Universe is just waiting to give them to you.

How do you know when it is time to let go of issues like that?

You will know it is time because you have already thought about letting them go. You know you have to do it. If the time is not right, it would not even occur to you. It would be a non-issue. If you feel a lot of time has passed without even thinking about it, perhaps you already surrendered it.

Maybe you need to do a self-check with yourself. A self-check is like a sounding board. You draw up that person’s tonal and you say to yourself,

“Okay, have I let you go? Am I still holding you here in my thoughts and my will to keep you in my life?”

What kind of love is that? Think about it. It might sound very cynical, but there is a reason I say that. You can love someone so much that you suffocate them. You have to ask yourself, “What kind of love am I feeling?

What kind of love am I emanating? Is it a liberating kind of love for the other person? Or is this a selfish love for myself?” It is very hard to let go of selfish love. But if you truly want to grow as a spiritual person, then acknowledge those issues through self-observation and by reflecting it. You already know what you need to work on. Just ask yourself to surrender it. “I want to surrender this hold I have on you. I need to surrender it. I need to set you free. I will always love you, but I am setting you free now.”

If you can to do that, you will retain all the benefits of the relationship and dump the negative aspects of it without the usual emotions. You have the experience and the knowledge that you gained from it, but you released the emotional, vibrational, inter-fibered energy into your being. What I just said is very important. There is a difference between not letting go and holding on to someone who you will always remember. There

will always be a connection. You can release them from the energetic bond that is inside of you. You can free them.

Could this type of surrender be used in a negative context?

This process should never be used in a negative way. For instance, someone you love and still need to continue with in a relationship. If you are looking for an excuse to abuse that relationship by thinking, “I’m going to release them because I want to remove all the people I know.” Well, you have to check yourself and listen to your intuition, that instinctual feeling that I’ve often referred to in other courses. Are you thinking from your ego or are you thinking from that place of sincerity inside of yourself?

You do not have to create more work for yourself. Work on the past decade of your life. Start there. There are probably lots of negative experiences to release. By doing just one Surrender session, the next day you will be amazed in how your life has changed.

Can you please elaborate on using surrender in a negative way?

The power of surrender should not be used to erase people from your life. You only want to surrender the negative vibrations. Don’t be thinking,

“The more people I can surrender, the less I will relate to this life. The better off I’ll be.” You are living life to grow as a dimensional being. There is a reason why you’re here on the Earth, and it is critically important. You do not want to eradicate everything just because you think your life is bad, that it has caused you pain.” Some pains are good pains. Sometimes pain helps you to grow from the experience. You release a lot and gain knowledge when you surrender. Again, use a sounding board to understand what the negative things are that you need to let go of. When you have learned what you can from it, move on. Surrender is about learning right from wrong, not abusing it for everything that you want to throw at it.

Would approaching it that way be surrendering at all?

You are no longer in a surrender state of mind. You are letting your ego stifle this beautiful process that allows you to grow. Approaching it that way is like ignoring the optimistic self that you’re trying to develop, and letting the pessimistic self pollute the whole surrender process. You misunderstand the truth behind it. Do you see the need to be in a clear state of mind? This circles back around again to the reason for developing a ritual to help enforce this process so that it cannot be tarnished by the emotional intentions inside of you. Use the Higher Balance material. It’s going to help you to achieve this without being influenced by negative influences.

Surrender is a very complicated process. It sounds very simple, but really it is not. Persistence and consistency are the keys. They are paramount to your success, so do not forget that. Be consistent with this progress and you will succeed.

It is possible to surrender and release something and then feel great.

But a week or a month later, that same issue starts to take hold again. That is because (1) other people are projecting this issue because of their connection with it, or (2) you are reviewing it in your mind because it’s being psychically forced from other places. It’s making you reflect on it again and give it structure. You have to be aware of those things and use the other techniques from High Guard, for instance, to give you an advantage.

If you are persistent in attempting to release the issue, your energy field or your dimensional body will feel that frequency. The issues will not become permanent. If it does internalize, it falls into another aspect of the teachings and other techniques, such as Foundation. Now you must combine Surrender with mindfulness, meaning that you do not reflect on the negative. You have to be a Kung Fu master and throw the negativity over your head. You utilize mindfulness if you feel these recurring issues trying to grasp onto you again and again. You have to use the tools that you already have learned to advance yourself. But Surrender still is, ultimately, an extremely powerful tool.

Is there any danger in surrendering?

You can abuse it by trying to make yourself feel nothing. That is not what you want to achieve. You do not want to become numb and feel nothing. You just want to remove the deep pain you accumulated over your lifetime. You certainly want to feel life. That is partly why you are here.

Life is going to infuse you. It is going to empower and liberate you. Life is a wonderful, wonderful thing. Surrender is about the issues that create a pessimistic view of life, and you can resolve that inside of yourself.

Does surrender have anything to do with why we bow at the end of a meditation?

Bowing is a small part of surrendering. The surrender that we are talking about is much bigger, but you can incorporate bowing in your ritual if you choose. The Higher Balance Meditation is very powerful for what it was designed to accomplish – expand your consciousness. It was designed to increase your sensory or your psychic abilities. Its purpose is to feed your dimensional body clean, pure Prana. It is intended to empower you. If you start incorporating the surrendering process with the meditation, it’s like switching into fast gear. Say that you just completed a physical workout in aerobics and now you are all pumped up. And then you immediately sat down and read five chapters of a book without walking around or unwinding first. It’s not that it can’t be done, but you are putting more of a strain on the process than is necessary.

In the movie The Karate Kid, Mayagi begins training Daniel by having him wax his car, sand the floor and do some painting. Each chore uses a specific movement. Daniel doesn’t see the connection until Mayagi reveals that Daniel has been learning defensive blocks through muscle memory learned by doing the chores. In much the same way, by practicing different things, we learn techniques that can be used to help us spiritually. This is often referred to as wax on/wax off.

When applying the process of Surrender, it is the wax on/wax off effect.

You utilize the tools that you learned through the Foundation and other Higher Balance material. You quiet the Babbler. You slow down your breathing and place yourself into a calmer state of mind. You communicate with your inner sensory and the emotions that you were trained to feel.

Once this is done, you can start selecting the issues you need to release.

Then you simply start to surrender and forgive yourself. You give yourself permission to clear them.

However, when you do a meditation, you surrender to the Universe.

That is a very profound thing to do. When you surrender, you are working more with isolated issues than just working on yourself. The concept of breathing out at the end of the meditation and releasing yourself can absolutely be combined with a form of surrender. Feel free to let yourself open up. But it is a very broad way of opening up. The big issues will not be released that way. You are still hanging on to those. But you will cleanse those big issues and wear them down over time. Maybe they will turn into pebbles so you can move them eventually. But if you want to speed up your progress and make it more beneficial to you, start purging the larger issues by surrendering them. Then when you surrender to the Universe, it will be more meaningful.
