Several reviews here have commented that they believe that the 1 star ratings are due to this material being above people's heads - I'm giving it this rating because I believe that the material is just too basic. If this book is for beginners in the spiritual field then this is okay but for others there is nothing new. Go and do a Vipassana Meditation retreat which is free in most countries in the world. You will experience profound results much more potent than any that I have experienced on any of the Higher Balance programs. Good on Eric for providing spirituality for those in the mainstream ready to move out, but for those that are looking for real spiritual knowledge or experience this doesn't cut it in my perspective.
