Excerpt from Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer by Gregg Braden. Researchers suggest that we use one of these four modes of prayer, or a combination: 1. Colloquial (Informal) 2. Petitionary 3. Ritualistic 4. Meditative There is a fifth mode that has been lost in recent centuries. This mode is FEELING. This mode was recorded in ancient Gnostic and Christian traditions more than 2,000 years ago. In early translations of the biblical book of John he said, “Ask without hidden motive and be surrounded by your answer. Be surrounded by our desires fulfilled.” Jesus was quoted in the Nag Hammadi Library as saying when we say to the mountain, “Mountain move away, it will move away.” This was also the main focus of the Isaiah Scroll, perhaps the most important of the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in 1946. Rather than feeling a sense of hopelessness while praying, this mode invites us to feel a clear and powerful feeling as if our prayers have already been answered. Ancients surrounded th...

Excerpt from Saying Yes to Change. Fearlessness is being without self-deception. The willingness to look at ourselves and face what’s inside takes courage because we’re bound to discover things that we don’t like. There’s no hiding or denial for the brave. The catch-22 is that we don’t know what it is that we’re unwilling to see. The ego is clever and whatever makes it cringe in shame gets shoved under the covers. The only way that we can reclaim whatever its holding hostage under there is to be aware of our judgments about other people. They hold the key to what we judge most harshly about ourselves. All human beings tuck the behaviors, desires and emotions that make them feel ashamed into their shadow, which is invisible because its out of our visual field. If we could look inside, we’d see it contains all the disowned parts of ourselves that anyone we wanted to please may have criticized. In order to get their love, we became separate from ourselves. The process of sealing off sham...

Excerpt from Shamanic Experience by Kenneth Meadows. Love energy is the power that brought everything into existence, and from which everything is derived. The elements of Fire, Air, Water and Earth stem from it. The whole of Creation quite literally was brought about by the power of Love. The Love energy should not be confused with sex energy, though this can be a positive expression of it. In shamanic understanding, love is an unconditional sharing of the experience of life - of the Life Force - and desires only the harmonious growth and development of whatever it is directed towards. In a human being this Love energy arouses feelings of joy and happiness in both the receiver and the giver because it actually produces a secretion that nourishes not only the physical body but the entire being. That is why when you smile at someone they'll smile back - an immediate response to a warm inner feeling that someone desires their well-being. In an instant Love energy has been g...
