Is there a real equivalent to Hogwarts in the World?
I don’t think so, yet. But I have thought about parallels between the Harry Potter world and the world of spirituality. I will try to explain a few of the similarities I see. An interesting question to ponder is how the author and self proclaimed non-believer of magic J.K. Rowling included such information in her fictional stories.
Eleven years old is a little young to enroll, a real life Hogwarts would have students from 15 to 70. A real life spiritual school might not have the same concept of a school year. People would show up for a weekend class, or a week or a month. Some students may stay for a year or two and eventually work their way up to instructors. Viewed outwardly the real school might appear normal and plain, but from an energy standpoint, it would be every bit as much unusual and unique as the castle in the books.
The stories contains two worlds, that of muggles and that of wizards. The muggles are blissfully unaware of the wizarding world. Just as our world contains people that operate as red cells and white cells. The red cells are blissfully unaware of the white cell world. While white cells strive to understand how our world works on an energetic level and what is possible.
The real equivalent of fictional magic is the manipulation of energy. It doesn’t work the way the books or the Hollywood movies portray magic. A wand and spoken words aren’t required. And the results aren’t always so instant or so visual. The proper application of energy is what achieves results. And one has to raise their own energy to have energy to use. Proper and consistent meditation will raises one’s energy.
We have a battle going on between the forces of good and evil. I don’t know the name of Lord Voldemort, but the effects of his work are visible. Evil works in opposition to God, seeking to eliminate life. If evil cannot eliminate life, it will attempt to control life, to make life uniform, to prevent growth, to eliminate individuality, creativity, differences. But since evil failed its take-over attempt in World War II, it has been working more quietly, under the radar. A wizard does brief the Prime Minister in one Harry Potter book. That makes me wonder what our President is briefed about, psychically speaking.
Instead of enrolling in Defense Against the Dark Arts, I recommend “High Guard: The Art of Energy Defense“. Since spells don’t really work like the movies, defending yourself against negative energy requires a different way of thinking. You learn to program your energy field to defend itself. Becoming aware of the things that drain your energy, is half the battle in stopping the drain.

At the January 2007 Higher Balance retreat in Kalani Hawaii, I had some remarkable experiences. And after getting home and reflecting on the things that I had experienced, I realized that I had added meaning to words that spiritual teachers use, but I did not fully understand. I did not yet have the experiences behind the words.
How do I put into words… the things I have experienced and the changes that have happened?
There is always talk about multi-dimensional consciousness. I have never spent time thinking about it because it never had any meaning for me. I could not even conceive of what it might be. This last week in Hawaii I experienced a brief moment of tuning into dimensional information during the dimensional portal class. It was an ah ha moment for me.
Now I am starting to hear the tones and see auras. I am starting to identify thoughts I have that did not originate with me. I am starting to understand how I send my energy to other people in my life. I now feel a closer connection to my emotions. I feel like I just experienced a pivotal point in my life. Now up to me take advantage of this new found opportunity before it fades.
When I hugged my Star Reach Academy coach after the retreat was over, it was very emotional for me. I felt a connection… a feeling in my chest… a pain, a love, the suffering, the joy, an acknowledgment, an understanding… But this feeling transcended words, it was much more spiritual than to a normal human emotion. It hit my chest hard, like an internal emotional version of Mind Storm. I savor this moment. I am trying to fly-fish now instead of just casting a net…
To me, the synchronicity of that week defies words. Even now I can breathe with the Force, with purpose… and move my hands in that way and re-creates an internal emotion, a feeling… from this last week. It feels so good. I want to sing, to dance, to blast the music, to be ALIVE, to commune with the Universe…
So many things I have experienced and I have not let myself really, truly deep down experience. Music… My expectations… of what I thought spiritual should be kept me from deeper understanding. I used to have this bond with music, hundreds of CDs from dozens of genres, but only one song here, one song there, the ones that spoke to me. I stopped doing this. I forgot music. I have been listening to talk radio or Eric Pepin or to the silence. Now I am full of this rekindled love from my youth.
Thoughts that are not my own… The Ties that Bind… High Guard… I did not understand. I thought energy was structural. I thought I could only feel it with my hands. I thought I could only move it with my hands. It is so much more. Ten thousand strands of webbing connect us. The webbing is inside of us. We think we are separate from the webbing, that we only exist inside our skin. We exist out there, we are the webbing. There is no spider, just webbing.


Hawaii loosened the connection to our bodies, and loosened the hold the matrix has on us. I got angry this week because someone next to me got angry. I got sick this week because someone in my life was sick and they felt intense pain. I had that illness and I had immunity. I recreated this sickness in me… through sympathy, through empathy.
I have to separate from from the spider web of life. I have to create a spider. I have to become a spider. I have to pick and choose the webs I stand on.

It wasn’t yet fall, but summer was over. I was walking on a footpath near the river. The sun was low in the evening sky, cutting a swath across the river. The sunlight glinted off the leaves of the trees. The leaves had not yet started to change color, but the feeling in the air was one last surge of energy before things start to change, to pull back in anticipation of winter.
My feet struck the path slowly, almost deliberately, creating a sort of heart beat. My breathing had slowed, almost stopped, but I wasn’t really aware of it. My thought had vanished like that summer’s heat, now only a memory. I wasn’t really paying attention to the world with sight, but with feeling… and with sound. The distant buzz of a boat on the river. The water quietly lapping at the banks of the shore.
And then I was compelled to reach out and touch the leaf of a tree. That touch was the sling-shot that moved me beyond normal states of consciousness to an in between place. My psychic sense was now calibrated to the frequency of that tree. I had “tuned in” to that tree.
I continued to walk and touch the trees. Each individual tree of a species “felt” similar from an energetic standpoint, but each tree also was totally unique in some way. And as I touched different species of trees, I keyed into a different frequency, a different feeling. Eventually I no longer had to physically touch the trees to “connect”, I just had to focus on the new tree. It was if I had an arm made of energy that could reach out and touch the trees for me.
An hour or two later, my thoughts returned, my energy retracted, and I returned from this state of mind; blessed by the Universe, thankful for my experience, refreshed and ready to serve God once again.
Some things that I have learned from Eric Pepin, in my own words. Of course any errors or omissions are attributable to me and me alone.
- Every person has a unique psychic “feel” to them. This feeling is often called a frequency, like a radio station 102.9, 94.6, etc. If you know someone’s frequency you can “tune in” to that frequency no matter where they are in the world.
- But on a deeper level you could say that people are a collection of smaller frequencies that come together to create a composite frequency; a summary of experiences, thoughts, and the different aspects of our personalities or roles we play in our lives.
- And as every person is a collection of frequencies that creates the whole, humans all contribute to create a feeling or frequency of humanity.
- Animals also have specific frequencies. Each species has an individual psychic signature. And each animal in that species also has a more specific frequency unique to that animal. Plants and inanimate objects follow the same patterns.

One day I was walking near my house with my dogs. The sun was shining, but it was not hot. I could feel a breeze on my skin. It felt like relaxing caress. I had no particular thoughts; I was just listening to the sound of my footfalls as I walked down a slight hill. A slow rhythmic drumming that echoed through me. I was not focusing, just letting the currents of nature gently push my consciousness.
The sun was beating down on my back. I started to feel the sun; to focus on the heat in the back of my neck. But not an intent focus, just a lazy, relaxed awareness. Then as I increased my focus on the feeling of sun, a sudden shift in my perception took place; a refocusing you could say. The sunlight was filled with data, with information.
As this data was filtered by my organic brain, it looked to me like many oscilloscopes monitoring data streams downloading from the Sun to the planet, the Gaia consciousness. As I shifted my attention from one data stream to the next, I realized that there were many streams of data, perhaps hundreds. Then as I zoomed in on a single data stream, I became aware of micro data embedded in the larger stream.

And as quickly as it happened, I lost my connection and I was left to marvel and the beauty and complexity of the Universe.
Sometimes the Universe peels back the curtain to show you things. Then the curtain is closed and the Universe waits to see what you do. I choose to continue my spiritual work on myself, my evolution, and to help spread this knowledge across the planet.
Some things that I have learned from Eric Pepin, in my own words. Of course any errors or omissions are attributable to me and me alone.
- People are energy beings in a physical body. Our purpose is to experience life in this dimension. Because as energy we could not interact with this dimension.
- When we die our energy is transmitted to the collective energy of the planet. The planet is conscious and alive, sometimes called Gaia. A portion of this consciousness is known as the Akashic records. The Gaia consciousness is a very alien way of thinking compared to our own.
- You could say that people are to the planet the way our cells are to our total body.
- And when you extrapolate upwards, the consciousness of the nine planets in our solar system contribute to the consciousness of the solar system, of our sun. And each sun contributes to consciousness of the galaxy. And each galaxy contributes to the consciousness of the universe. And the universe contributes to the consciousness of God.
- One way that communication takes place between the Sun and the planets is through light, solar radiation. And stars communicate between each other through this same mechanism.
- Tuning into this communication between stars would take a very advanced spiritual being because this communication takes place at a higher place on the grid. This being would have to master connecting to and receiving information from the Akashic records before he or she could tune into the higher levels.

Two years ago, my wife and I used to hear crying babies several nights a week for most of the spring and summer after we started working with Higher Balance. We thought of several possibilities but nothing ever fit exactly right. Eric Pepin teaches us to come up with three possible explanations before trying to figure something out.
The timeline basically progressed like this. My wife and I adopted a daughter from China in the fall and right after we got home, I found Higher Balance and started working with their material. My wife also started working with Higher Balance a month or two after I did.
By the next spring we started hearing crying babies at night, when my daughter was asleep. We would always get up and check on our daughter, but she was always soundly asleep. At the beginning, we would search the house for the source of the noise. Sometimes only my wife would here them, but usually we would both hear them.
The noise was sometimes faint, sometimes loud. It sounded like a chorus of babies, all crying in pain. The sound initially was very faint, but after several months, it would occasionally be almost deafening. It happened sporadically at first, but eventually was happening three or four times per week. Lasting from an hour or two to the entire night. By the end of the next summer the frequency started to die down and eventually stopped.
The sound had a surreal quality to it, like it might not be from this dimension. The sound was also unique, because turning my head or moving to a different location in the house did not affect the volume. In fact, putting ear plugs in did not change the volume.
We considered whether entities (energy beings) were visiting us. But surely they would get bored after a few hours or days and not stay for many months. We wondered about tuning into part of the Gaia consciousness. Some people talk about the beautiful music that sounds like an orchestra and chorus of angels that comes from the Gaia consciousness.
I have never found an explanation that fit all the clues until yesterday. My friend suggested that we were tuning into the grieving process of my daughter, on an energetic level. At night, when she was downloading her daily experiences and emotions into the Gaia consciousness, we were tuning into the broadcast. It was not so outwardly apparent that our daughter was grieving because she was only one year old and she seemed to be bonding with us. Our brains interpreted this energetic broadcast as crying babies. We didn’t hear it at the beginning, because we were to new to meditating and to psychic work. And then as our daughter bonded with us on a deeper level, the grieving subsided and that broadcast went away.

The United States celebrates Independence Day on July Fourth. This holiday is usually celebrated with fireworks. The interesting this is the brand new feeling that the environment has next day. Eric Pepin teaches in “The Ties that Bind“, about the effects on us from energy in our environment and some ways to change those effects. You can listen to “The Ties That Bind” for free.

The reason fireworks have the potential to change the feeling of a place, is that loud noises break up the energy that physical objects hold on to. And physical objects will hold onto negative energy longer than positive energy. Breaking up the energy pattern allows the negative energy to disperse. Thunder is nature’s way of creating this same effect.
There are some other options for changing the negative energy in a house or apartment. Remove the clutter from the rooms you are attempting to affect. Energy needs things to hold onto. Removing the clutter, removes the things that negative energy can cling to. Rearrange the furniture. This breaks up the patterns created by the energy, allowing it to disperse more easily. There is some truth behind the practice of Feng shui.
You could sprinkle one or two tablespoons of salt on the carpet in each room and then vacuum the salt up after waiting for a period of time. For a serious cleaning, mix the salt with water and use the mixture to scrub the walls. Salt seems to affect energy and break up it’s patterns.
Buddhist monks use tingshaws to change the energy of a room. I would suggest a new technology. This is my own personal favorite. Play Deep Resonating Aums loudly over a stereo system. Aum is the Higher Balance equivalent of chanting oohhhmmm. This recording is many track of Eric Pepin’s voice layered over each other, with some faint background music. It creates this amazing effect, it sounds like an entire choir of people of both sexes. Feel free to join in and add your own voice to intensify the effect.

Last weekend, my brother and I took four teenage girls rock climbing and rappelling. A great way to build someone’s confidence, as long as it is safe and there is no pressure. After a few hours of climbing, to cool down we took turns jumping off a rock ledge into the river. The ledge is about 40 or 50 feet high. You don’t hit terminal velocity, but it is a rush after the controlled feeling of rappelling.
When I jumped, I felt my ear pop when I hit the water. I also felt pain, and I couldn’t catch my breath. I was disoriented for a minute. I didn’t jump again because I was afraid I had perforated my ear drum. My ear way uncomfortable and a little sore the rest of the day. That night at home, I did a tone meditation with ear plugs. My earplug was covered in blood, but afterwards the pain had mostly vanished.
The next day I went to the clinic, but the doctor could not find any sign of my injury and was at a loss to explain why my ear had been bleeding.
Not sure whether I healed myself or not.
What I am interested in is the difference between healing acute illness (like a cold, the flu, a burn or a cut) and chronic disease (like MS, chronic back pain or arthritis). And how does someone who is in constant pain, alleviate the pain enough to meditate or to heal themselves?
I think that chronic illness creates patterns in our cells and in our energy field that is harder to heal than a trauma. But how does someone find the right combination of healers, doctors, nutritionists, chiropractors, massage therapists, etc. to treat the problem without getting frustrated, running of money, etc.?
