The sky is smooth and a rich clear black…

Bending God BookThe kind of sky you almost think has a texture you could reach up and feel.  The stars are the brightest I’ve seen in a long time.  Radio towers blink red lights from nearby peaks.  Everything is quiet and still.  The dogs roam around near the truck.  Their sniffing noticeable, almost loud.  On one side of the mountains lies L.A.  Its fake electrical sunrise shining up over the peaks.  The other side is a plain of darkness lit by a few twinkling lights.  It’s the desert.  I breathe in deeply and look out to where the ocean should be.

Then the entire sky flashes white.

I blink and shake my head slightly.  What happened to my vision?  I look over at Eric and Matthew who are in the truck bed with me.  They make no sign they noticed anything.  What did I just see?  For an instant, the whole sky flashed a perfect white.  It was as if, like hitting a light switch, night had become day for a moment.

I look over to L.A. and see the same hazy, steady glow.  Search the sky for clouds.  None.  I’ve never seen lightning in L.A. anyway but so near the desert… it could have been a freak lightning strike.  It’s cloudless.  For miles and miles there isn’t a single space where I can’t see the stars perfectly.

Then everything flashes white again.  The whole sky and everything around me goes from the dark blackness of night to completely, brilliantly illuminated white.

I rub my eyes. “What the hell..” I say out loud to see if I can get a reaction from either one of them without sounding crazy right away.

Matthew starts chuckling in his warm, cozy sleeping bag.  I look at him and he’s looking at me, a half-cocked grin on his face.  Eric’s grinning at me too.

“What?” Eric asks a little too innocently.

Ah crap… might as well ask.  “Did you guys see that?”  I ask pointing to the sky.  “It happened twice.”

“See? See what?” Eric asks again with a slight tone in his voice that I know means he’s having some fun with me.

I sigh.  “The sky, it flashed white like –“ suddenly everything, not only the sky but everything around me, flares with a bright white light.  I was looking up at the sky before but it’s everywhere!
“There!” I shout pointing at the mountain and then at the sky so they don’t think I’m pointing at a bunch of rocks. “There! It just did it! Did you see it?!”  They had to have seen it!  It wasn’t soft.  The whole freaking sky lights up bright white! 

They are the perfection of calm and indifference.  Matthew looks, oh-so-casually, at Eric and I can tell he’s having a hard time not laughing.  I don’t get it.  Can they see it too?  If they can why aren’t they saying anything?

“The whole sky flashed white?”  Eric asks me.

“Yeah!  It’s flashing bright white.  It’s done it like three times now.”

“Probably a search light from L.A.”  Eric suggests somewhat coyly.

“No!” I say excited by what’s going on and growing frustrated by their lack of response.  “It’s too bright, I mean L.A. is over there!”  I point at the dim glow over the mountains.  “It’s the same, it’s too faint.  This is bright!”

“Hrmm.”  Eric thinks out loud.  “The radio towers?”

“Radio towers? Uh…”  I ask forgetting for a moment about the weak little blinking, red, radio towers.  “What? No… look at them.”  I say looking towards the quiet radio night specks.  “It’s… it’s so bright…” I wait, listening to my breath.

Whooosh!  The whole sky, the mountains, everything around me, goes white.  This time everything seems slower.  I pay attention to how it looks.  It doesn’t look like daylight.  It isn’t bright like daylight is.  It looks paler.  Less color.  It almost looks like an electrical white.  It’s bright but void of color.  What’s more, when it flashes, I can feel it flash through my body.  For a moment, my entire body buzzes with it.

“There it was again…” I say quieter, confused, uncertain. 

“Maybe,” Matthew suggests, “it’s lightning.”  He chuckles.

“No, no, no.  I got it.  A weather balloon.”  Eric says.  They both have a good snicker.

Now I get it.  They’re giving me logical explanations.  They’re making fun of how they think I’d take it.  They think I would dissect it and cast it off with the best scientific explanation I could find.  Damn it, am I that bad?  Matthew’s always been more open to things. 

Am I critical or narrow minded?  I think back to the night in the park.  When Eric explained things and asked us to feel them Matthew had an easier time.  I can’t figure out why exactly.  I’m trying to understand but can’t seem to catch on like he is.  They must both be able to see this.  He’s taking it in such stride.  Maybe he’s seen it before. They said they found this together.  I sit forward and smile, laughing quietly through my nose.  It’s something I’d learned to do when I was young and didn’t want to smile with my teeth showing.

“I get it.  It isn’t a weather balloon, it isn’t the radio towers and there’s not a cloud in the sky. But I give up.  What is it?  I’m ready to listen.”  My voice humbled by the event.

Matthew looks over to Eric.  “Well,” Eric starts, “you guys have been around me so much lately you’re starting to tune into my frequency more.  You’re seeing things more how I see them.  You’re starting to operate on a higher level.  What you’re seeing is the planet shift.  When the planet shifts it flashes white for a moment.  It goes through everything, not just the sky.  Kinda like a heartbeat I guess you could say.  You know, like the electrical pulse that goes through your whole body.  Well, the planet has something sort of like that.  You’re tuning into that.”

Bending God: A Memoir is the beginning of my paranormal, spiritual adventure. Enter my world of invisible beings, a grown man being thrown backwards by nothing but the mind of another, and clouds that pour out of a hole in a brilliantly clear blue sky. All the stranger because it is real.

As you read this book you will doubt that what you’re reading is true. It is all true. No exaggerations. No distortions. It is an accurate account of the summer I met Eric Pepin who defied the limits of everything I believed to be possible.

I met him as a cynical skeptic. Years before I walked away from the religions of the world. They all offered pieces of truth but none fully had it. The world was only what science could explain. No mysteries. No wonder.

The moment I sat down with Eric Pepin he began to weave a tale beyond all time. He spoke of the creation of the Universe, the experience of God, and the purpose of those rare souls who feel a deep spiritual calling within them. The restless tug of an unknown destiny. 

Before it was over he offered me the briefest glimpse of another world. He peeled back reality to reveal a whole new dimension behind it. Shocked and numb, I did not believe what I saw.

Yet the voice of reason fought back. His existence was a riddle that I became determined to solve. I thought him, at best, insane. At worst, a fraud, parading his talk of mystical, paranormal abilities and profound states of enlightenment for the gullible to follow. In time I was confident his game would fail and I would prove him wrong.

Strange events quickly accelerated. The harder I frantically tried to crack the code, the more his unknown world opened up before my disbelieving eyes.

So began a journey where the world I once knew would suddenly be transformed into a place of magic and wonder.

Bending God offers such a world. A mystery beyond imagining. All the more fantastic because it is real. It is my life and now it is yours to share and experience.

  1. ABSOLUTELY RIVETING!! I HAVE TONS OF BOOKS AND MATERIAL THAT ARE TOTALLY UNNECESSARY TO KEEP. I WONDER, WHY DO I KEEP ALL THAT STUFF THAT DIDN’T FILL THE NEED I WAS LOOKING FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE. DUH-H-H.
    THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I REALLY FEEL TRUTH. ( READ THE BOOK IN 2.5 DAYS) NOW I NEED TO GO BACK AND DO IT AGAIN–SLOWER, AND GET INTO A REGULAR PRACTICE W/ THE TAPES I HAVE. THANKS SO MUCH, ROSE

  2. Eric,
    Love the book! Read in less than three days and, as above, will go through it again slowly now. When I get really engrossed in a book, I have to burn through it the first time. It is enthralling & informative, as well as humorous. I admire how you bared all your deepest throughts & emotions. Thank you for that, and also for giving us a much deeper insight into our teacher and some of the HB staff.

  3. I love this site! Your book is a huge step for the planets development. I look forward to walk next to you on this journey as your brother in arms!

  4. Whoa, thank you, Eric! Um….I have just finished the 4th disc of the foundation this morning…I have just finished…JUST…your book, NOW! I am hungry on several different levels…but think I’ll have pizza first. I will start guided med tomorrow…. When I started your book…I was anything but fearful….as I figured I had read more than most John/Jane Does. Your’s was…dare I say…timely. I look forward to more. Oh, and what a treat that you signed it….maybe I’ve been hoping I was sitting in the ’stands’ of the arena…waiting for me to say: ‘put me in coach’…..hmmmmm…

  5. :wink:

    Your book is brilliant.
    There is just nothing else like it on earth.

    I finished with the “in-between” modules. I never realized how deep the rabit hole went. I always knew, i always thought i knew, or said it.

    But it hit like a brick.

    This book is so up there in frequency.

    I look forward in seeing how it manifests down here on Earth.

  6. Just finished your book….. thank you is such a shallow word to say how much you have
    helped me to fill in spaces with my study with Higher Balance.. “Eric” must be a powerful
    name as the two Eric’s who have come into my life are certainly “making my life the journey
    I have always searched for”…

  7. Eric,
    Thank you so much for the signed copy of BENDING GOD. The book is so incredibly well written that I feel I am experiencing everything along with you, all the doubts, fears, excitement and paranormal events. I have sat for hours reading it and with just two chapters left to go, I don’t want this book to end! It provides such an incredible insight into Eric’s amazing level of Self-Mastery as well as your own and that of others. It’s so easy to become distracted by all the information and material there is on spiritual growth out there, but, having read your book, I am once again inspired to persevere with my HB tapes for serious regular practice. Keep up the great works.

  8. Hmmm. Three first posts and all from women, all with the same response to the book: read it in a few days. So, Eric, and Eric, is the egg cracking for women to advance in the studies? Or do we continue to be condemned by our biology to get second place on the path to God? Having read and studied for decades I find it fascinating and disheartening that your book puts women in last place on the path. The book is good reading and certainly full of great insights. I’ve already recommended it. Just have to do so with the caveat that once again women are seen as the deterrent to true spirituality. If we are good enough to bring God into the world please explain why we’re not good enough to find God in ourselves, through ourselves?

  9. First – Profound Gratitude that you shared your experiences with me and all your other readers. THANK YOU!

    Second – A Question for myself: Is this finally an answer for me?

    My father died in 1967, I just realized it has been a 40 year search for me. Looking for spiritual answers everywhere… wanting to understand and experience God fully – yearning to awaken to the ultimate Truth and most importantly…..experiencing it for myself.

    I am what I call an “Expanded Christian”. I belong to the Spiritual Cinema Circle and believe our Earth is alive, that there are many paths to God, that we live many lives, and that there really is a way to “Awaken” in this lifetime. I may be older, but I have an open mind and spirit.

    I just haven’t found that WAY even after reading literally hundreds of books, from Joeseph Campbell, Dwayne Dyer, Deepok Chopra, Shirley McClaine, Jean Houston, Joel Goldsmith, Ken Keyes, Gary Zukav, Joan Borysenko, The Course In Miracles, Mother Teresa, The Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Richard Bach, Jack Kornfield, Dan Millman, Elisabeth Haich, Chris Griscom, James Redfield, Neale Donald Walsch, Don Miguel Ruiz, Suzane Northrop, Marianne Williamson, Don Carlos, all the famous philosophers, from Plato, Descarte to Blake, Swendonborg, Frankl, Spinoza, Gurdjeif, etc., etc. etc.

    I HAVE learned a great deal of truth and am grateful to each and every one of these seekers of God and truth. But I STILL long to experience God in a way that I cannot deny. I’m weary of only reading about other’s experiences; however profound, and not discovering an exact path or method for myself.

    I have attended many seminars, among them -Shirley MacClaine, Ram Dass, Deepak Chopra’s Center, Chris Griscom’s Light Institute, and been to hear and see the Dali Lama twice. I am much richer for having met and learned these people, having them share their wisdom and truth with me. But, once again, these partial awakenings and feelings of God, have not been THE complete answer I’m seaching for!

    I believe I do recognize TRUTH when I hear it and Eric, I believe you are telling the Truth. I can’t tell you much anticipation and hope I have over perhaps finding an actual method I can emulate and cultivate to find what I’m searching for. I know it involves meditation and I want to find a path and method that works.

    I DO have many questions for you, just as you had for Eric P, but I won’t go into them here and now.

    But I do KNOW this: I want to find the way to experience God the way you did and I am totally committed to this quest. I made my decision for GOD many years ago – I just need the “authenic map” to help lead me to an experience of the ultimate Force.

    You have opened yourself up to be the Teacher to those who have ears to hear. Please accept me as a student. Now, what is the next step?

  10. :neutral:
    I just got the book today! And starting reading it, I was suprised at how many pages there were. Pretty-good so, far! keep up the good work!

  11. Wow, Eric — I am iin awe – your book is dynamite! After reading Eric Pepin’s Handbook of the Navigator, I thought I had a fair grasp of what he was explaining in layman’s terms, but your four-month day-to-day experiences with the man brought home that there is so much more depth here than meets the eye… Time to take a closer look at the Higher Balance Institute…

  12. The book is excellent. Its real and confronts the reader with doubts they too are likely to have. It opens the door to the man (and some of the staff) behind Higher Balance as he’s viewed through skeptical eyes and that’s why I think it works so well and is a fantastic learning tool.
    I read it at a steady pace to absorb the lessons it holds. I know i’ll be referring back to it.
    This book has reinforced and instilled a new level of trust for me in Higher Balance and served as a reminder that what i’ve already experienced (thanks to the institute) is not to be horded or taken for granted.
    Its a simple flowing read which holds some profound, powerful lessons. I REALLY enjoyed it! An excellent edition to the Institutes transformational arsenal!
    Thanks!!

  13. A must read for anyone interested in Higher Balance or just to expand and challenge their spiritual growth. They say ignorance is bliss, but I think also boring. Bending God pushed my buttons, questioned my belief system, opened my mind to the possibilities…..it is true, you can’t unlearn what you read. Eric’s approach is also honest and open, and helped me to relate to my own fears of the unknown. A great resource to have and I will be reading it many times.

  14. :roll: Your book is awesome. I could not put it down – figuratively – until I finished the last page this morning. Now I have pulled out all of the material I purchased from Higher Balance in the last few years and have started to re-listen and re-read – from a higher perspective. Thank you. V.

  15. Enjoyed the book.
    What has happened in the past seven years?
    Another book? If only we all had the opportunity to be with a master just for 6 months we
    would all be different. I need to get back to my meditation tape form High Banlance.
    I miss the great joy. Thanks for the reminder of the power of the DOE. I must admit it had me good. Thanks again.

    Eric,
    Many thanks for your frank and moving literary work. In the previous decade plus of life my direction has shifted somewhat from theory to experience. This path has directed me to several teachers. Your truth will allow me to re-focus my commitment with my current teacher. Reading about your life with Eric gives me a big picture view, thank you. There are some lessons and micro-experiences in my path that parallel what you have encountered. It does a person good to know others share the same doubts and needs for proof. It was so easy to read your words and in my mind think, I would never do/think that, yet I know different. Even though, many times, my patience wanes, I experience the fact of getting back up after every fall so far. Reading your book gives me the strength to get up again. Thank you very much, and please send my thanks to Eric.
    Sincerely,
    Kevin

  17. Great Book;
    I couldn’t put it down and devoured it in 2 days. It’s interesting that recent personal family events has caused me to be interested in entities. Now that you wrote about them, I feel that I have an arsenal for protection after learning High Guard. Thanks for giving me a personal story because nothing teaches better than a story sometimes.

  18. Incredible, like others, I read through it quickly, and caught my own energy level rising several times as I read the book, like the tuning fork. I spent the day today in a happy, buzzing, amazing mood after reading the last hundred pages or so! I really wish to meet someone who can help me reach these heights… Thanks for the great read, Eric!!! I now have so many more questions, thoughts and ideas. Joe

  19. Hi Eric Robinson: Thanks for the autographed copy of Bending God. I thoroughly enjoyed
    reading your book; and, I’m looking forward to the next one. My favorite chapter is xxiv:
    The Extraordinary Tales of Evil Richard. Richard has a special relationship with Eric Pepin in
    that Eric did take him apart and then put him back together again…hopefully time will heal
    all wounds. And, as for Eric Pepin, and as to who he is? He’s a 21st Century “Merlin-master of the Metaphysical.” May the force be always with you knights and ladies of the round table. John Holland

  20. I was really struggling before I read your book. The scanning, healing, etc. was okay to learn but not really what I was looking for. Then you wrote your experience with the Universe….like meeting an old friend you havn’t seen in a long time….I cried for hours after that and had a hard time keeping it together at work. You have changed me (again since HBI). This is exactly what I want to experience but didn’t know how to word it to myself. Everything is different now; food doesn’t taste the same, music sounds flat, can’t even have friendly conversations for any length of time. Thank you..I’ve made my choice.

  21. :cool:

    outstanding… that’s all… simply outstanding.

    dunno if you remember the message you signed it with, but it was perfect for me.
    absolute gratitude to you for spending all your spare moments to create your masterpiece for us… you are a blessing!

  22. Eric, I admit it, I was a skeptic too, but your book has given me a new perspective and respect for Eric and his work. In Hawaii, you took the time to show me how to scan one evening, and you took extra time to sign my son Eric’s (3 Eric’s — a coincidence?) book. Heart-felt thanks. What you, and then your book, did for me was to open my eyes to the very real possibility that I too can do this! I can’t think about anything else. Words can not express my gratitude. Thank you so much, Loretta

  23. Eric
    I just finished your book. It was very inspiring for me. I related to the structured thinking and the lack of understanding “fluidity”. I tend not to be sensitive to feeling energy.
    But after reading your book I have hope someday I will have a breakthrough. Reading the book also gave me renewed motivation to start the Foundation series and mediation again.
    I hope you continue writing your experiences especially about how you became for fluid.

    Keep up the great work and THANKS AGAIN.

  24. Eric,
    I have read your book. I could not put it down. You are a supberb writer! I hope you can make it into a movie. In fact I will put you in contact with people who might be interested to using it as a movie script. Please send me your email at HBI so that I can contact you.
    You addressed, and put to rest every concern the average student may have. You have done an excellent job of protraying Eric J Pepin for the excellent spiritual teacher he really is. Thanks for this wonderful gift.

  25. Eric, I truly loved your book and ditto Marianne and Jennifer above. I too think it would make a GREAT movie!

    I haven’t had this much fun reading a spiritual/metaphysical book in years. I learned and I laughed and laughed ’til I cried – in recognition of myself as “Chicken Big”.

    I’m going back to Higher Balance because there on the early pages of your book is the answer to a question I’ve had since I was an early teen. NO ONE in 45 years was able to tell me what it was I saw myself wrapped in for several days which had people tell me I looked funny.

    Again, Thank You for putting yourself out there. db :lol:

  26. thanks gentalman, your effort realy awake me. It give me a new dimention of thinking. THANKS again.

  27. Eric, i really enjoyed your writing style and was intriqued by the facts of your story. At the end i was left wondering about The Field Of Scientology and psychic abilities…

  28. Hi Eric,
    I don’t know if this was your first book but it was awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would love to experience what you did and what you do now. It’s exactly what I’ve needed my whole life….to see…to experience this stuff. I just need the proper teaching. I will look into it. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Laura

  29. Great book Eric R!! :smile: :grin::cool:
    I dismantled a few I’s reading it. The book is that powerful! I think I will read it again. Well written and spiritually satisfying. THANK YOU!!

    Erik T

  30. Eric, As you know I finished reading your book “correctly” from front to back a couple of weeks ago. I was getting ready to call you when Matt phoned and life has continued to interrupt my efforts to tell you how I feel.

    I “jumped” through your book, at first, to find “blackmail” material on Matt and you (a mothers perogative), but your book is so much more. It’s a part of your spiritual journey. I am so proud of you. Not only in how wonderfully written the book is, but in your decision to share such an intimate part of your life.

    Your book verified my theory that as a Church we have failed to teach our children how to recognize and nuture their spiritual selves. I also realized that I had failed to share your spiritual heritage with you and your borthers when you where young. I have and will continue to try to correct these errors.

    Our lives are a precious and delicate dance interwoven with the many people we meet along the way. I am very grateful that Matt and your paths came in contact with Eric Pepin, that he was able to show you a way to find God.

    Last but not least. I may be a dreamer Eric, but I tell you without doubt or reservation: YOU CAN FLY! Love, Mom

  31. Eric R When I started reading your book, it was hard to put down. Anything I would or could have said,has already been said in the previous posts. Thank you so much for letting me share and experience a part of both Eric’s lives. Esther

  32. Eric i am really enjoying your book it has great ideas and experiences i would love to talk to you since your beliefs are close to a religion in my country You are great bro

  33. Finished reading your book a few days back. I did thoroughly enjoy the book and gleaned much from it. As I read the first few chapters I kind of thought that you were too verbose in your writing style, putting too much of your internal thinking into the dialogue and events. After a few chapters though the reason for your doing this became clear, and certainly it did help a person reflect internally/personally on what the mind goes through.

  34. Eric,
    I just finished your book and totally enjoyed it. Now my husband wants to read it. I know that he will get something out of it just like I did. I love the I and me section. I used it and now I have a different look at I and me. Now I can get rid of the other useless books that I have because yours takes up the most room.

  35. Just wanted to add my praises to an already, no doubt lengthy!!, list of peeps blown away by your book… truly inspiring…I finished it a week or so ago and I’ve only just managed to lower my wide eyed stare and close my slack jaw…thank you so much for putting yourself out there…there were moments during reading that book where my whole being cranked out on the buzz, smiling, relating, being in awe, sometimes all at the same time …and also the reminder of how little true effort I’m currently exerting in my day to day practice…as a direct result of your writing, reinforcing what I know deep down to be true, I won’t be the flash in the pan, eager one week, bored the next, moaning little rug rat…30 years from now I would like to think that the gleam in my eye and smile on my dial are even more intense than today at the very mention of the word ‘FORCE’, because I will know the true implication of that word and what it represents…I only hope that I can someday reach a level to be of use…whatever that may entail…many thanks for a truly inspirational piece of literature!!

  36. I have read higher balance and listened to the CD’s (alot) and have had profound things happen to me. Sometime things manifested so quickly i thought i was not ready for this type “power” but i was. I just read the about Bending God. Your experience with the white flashing lights happens to me quite often. It starts so quickly and the white light is everywhere and then everything goes back to the way it was before. On a few occasions i’ve seen buildings that used to be there then the light simply disapears.

  37. Wow! This is grand. I have read “The sky is smooth and a rich clear black…”, and it was our meeting,dear Eric. I sense myself not alone now – I visualize us both dreaming over a cup of coffee and sinking into awe towards the mystery of the sky pictures. The above is impossible physically, but that’s the reality and my Thank you comes out of itself. At a moment, I welcome not a writer, but the man- the spiritual giant, and we are friends – wow, is it not the miracle?

  38. ~Enjoy the Shift~

    Smiles@U.
    Namaste,

  39. very good read

    i think as the …logic, reason, and understanding…. of the scientific enterprise moves forward into not only the outer reality or the inner reality of the body, as it begins to explore the inner reality of the mind it will discover the inner reality of the soul, perhaps discovering new connections and communications between outer and inner that will help us …exist, evolve, and engineer…. an even better world

    as a result i think our beliefs will progress

    i think conventional medicine will acknowledge the …body, mind, and soul…. and the diseases therein

    and it will learn to integrate the …personal, populational, and professional…. into higher levels

    i also think some sort of new integration of …philosophy,religion, and science….. is on the horizon

    and whether ‘Scientology’ can de-cult itself, and revive itself in-sync with this remains to be seen

    you breifly mention Scientology in the book and say you will come back to it…will this be in your next book;)

  40. Dear Eric-
    I got your book and could not put it down! I carry it around everywhere I go and re-read it as I’m waiting for doctors apts., etc. Your book has really changed my life! I LOVE your sense of humor, I hope you do a follow up book!
    I thank you for the honesty that you wrote with. It give’s the reader and idea of what to expect with the pratice of the daily guided meditation.
    The Higher Balance Institute has made profound changes to my health. I can’t get enough of this stuff!
    Thanks so much…
    Marie from NJ

    Just sent a message from the Navigator website, but wanted to post on here too.. just such a huge fan and can’t wait to read this one. Wish everyone could read, understand and use the knowledge in your writings.

    -Jake of ImprovementMedia.com

  42. Hi Eric,
    You’re book was absolutely awesome. I think it’s such an amazing book, not just because it’s well written, humorous and filled with wisdom (although it certainly is those things), but also because it lets people who haven’t had the opportunity to meet Eric Pepin get a feel for what he is like. I enjoyed it so much I’m thinking of buying some copies to give to other potential white cells!

    Thanks.

  43. I’m getting the impression, that “BENDINGGOD” would be,
    much MORE accirately entitled, an introduction. You could
    ALSO call it, GOD, an introduction!
    I’ve never “seen” the flash, but I feel the permeating/reunion of myself, with EVERYTHING! It’s similar to floating on your back, in a pool. But, it ALSO like
    feeling yourbody dissolving to fill the ENTIRE pool!
    Do you understand what I “saying”. Do you get my meaning?

  44. dear eric, i just finished your book. i loved it. i wish there was more. i could of read 500 more pages. i can’t wait for your next book. i am female and 51 yrs. old. i also read eric pepin book i think that was 2 or 3 yrs. ago. i would love to meet both of you guys. i live in bloomfield connecticut.

  45. dear eric, it took me week to read your book. i enjoyed every word of it. i only wish it had five hundred more pages. i can’t wait until your next one. thank you valere

  46. Dear Eric!! Your book was amazing and loved every part of it!!!
    I want to thank you soo much for sharing your experiences and giving this knowledge!!!

  47. Helllo Eric-

    Wow! I am truly enjoying your book. It is filling in some of the gaps or questions that I had after reading Eric Pepin’s, The Navigator. the thing that is really strange though is the way that book keeps “calling” to me to continue reading it. In fact, I had pulled several books from my collection to start reading and out of the blue I get an email about your book. I was drawn to order it and had to really force myself to finsh the book that I was in the midst of before I started Bending God. My earlier chosen pile is back on the bookshelf and I am eagerly consuming your prose. I have this deep rooted feeling that I will be transformed and enlightened. I’m not sure how the Higher Balance Institute found me but I know that you all have the answers that I seek. I pray that our physical paths cross soon.

Life changing book, one of the most important, valuable books I have ever read and so looking forward to rereading it. applying it. Have lent my copy to friend, and have recommended to others, Such a raw, honest sharing of journey to awakening and helpful for all on quest in this life. What a talented writer- hope there is more to follow! looking forward to seeing the screen plays, too! (hint, hint)

  51. In enjoyed reading this book. It was interesting to see how Eric discovered his spirituality. Most people don’t share their feelings and inner conflicts in the manner that Eric has here. I was enlightened, educated, and entertained at the same time. This is a worthwhile read for everyone trying to evolve toward higher consciousness.

  52. Truly amazing book! I just finished listening to the audio version of the book once more. I had first listened to it more than a year ago and despite being busy with a full time job and so many other issues at that time I finished it just in a few days. Thank you for sharing your journey!
