Gregg Braden - Our Most cherished Ancient Spiritual Technology Explained

[Music] hello my name is greg braden i'd like to welcome you to today's very special presentation of the divine matrix bridging time space miracles and belief in our last episode we discovered that we are biologically wired to hack the divine matrix in seemingly superhuman ways well in this episode we're going to go one step further we'll uncover the prayer code the formula for an empowered form of prayer that is actually mirrored in the most sophisticated computer systems known to exist in the world today [Music] so what i'd like to do is share an example this

is a story it's a true story that happened to me when i left the corporations in the early 1990s and i moved to a piece of land in the high desert of northern new mexico and those of you that live in that part of the world you may remember the 1990s was one of the worst droughts in recorded history the elders of the native peoples they said in the memory of their ancestors they'd never seen a drought that had lasted as long as what we were experiencing was going on five plus years it was terrible

cattle were dying crops were dying people were selling their farms because they could no longer support themselves on the land and it was during this time that a native friend of mine called me one morning uh and to honor his privacy i'm going to call him david even though david is not really his name but david called me one morning and he asked me so greg would you like to meet me and accompany me to a place that is so old no one even knows who built this place it was built by the hands of

our ancestors it is a wheel it is a circle of stone where we offer our prayers because in this place the skin between the worlds is very thin i love that terminology so he said would you like to join me to offer a prayer of rain and i didn't have to think twice i said you bet and i met david and we hiked into this place i wasn't prepared for what i saw as as an anglo as a westerner i expected to see some chanting some kind of ceremony uh maybe some dancing what i saw

was david he sat in the ground he took off his old work boots he unlaced them and put them outside the circle he stepped into the circle with his his naked feet on the ground he closed his eyes he honored all of his ancestors he honored the directions all six of them and then he closed his eyes with his hands in a prayer mudra over his heart just for a few seconds this is outside of the town of taos new mexico it's the nearest city of any size and he looked at me he opened his

eyes he looked and he said he said i'm hungry you want to get a bite to eat and he was inside the circle and i said well yes i said but i thought you were going to pray for rain and he looked at me and what he said has stayed with me so powerfully for so long and it's helped so many people when they think about how this prayer works he looked at me said no he said if i prayed for rain rain could never happen he said because the moment i pray for rain i

have just told the universe that rain does not exist here the moment i pray for it to happen i'm acknowledging that it's not here now and i said well if you didn't pray for rain just now i said when you close your eyes what you what did you just do and he said when i closed my eyes he said i felt the feeling of what it feels like when it rains in my pueblo village because i felt the feeling of what it feels like to stand with my naked feet in the mud and the mud

is there because there's been so much rain he said i smelled the smells of what the rain smells like when it rolls off the earth and walls from our pueblo and i felt what it would feel like to walk through the corn that's this high against my naked chest and it's this high because there's been so much rain to grow the corn and then i give thanks of gratitude and appreciation for the rain that has already happened all right can you see now through everything that we have explored everything we've discovered in this series can

you see what david has just done he's brought together so many of the concepts he's acknowledging that there's a field out there number one that he's communicating with that field he's acknowledging that the feeling is the language that the field recognizes is not so much about the words the words can be spoken however if the words are spoken the goal is to create the feeling all right and he's acknowledging that he has the potential as a man a human in the presence of this field to reach inside of the field into the realm of all

things that are possible and isolate the possibility of his choice and collapse that potential into something real in our world he's doing it through a very sophisticated internal technology that we call the lost mode of prayer it is a feeling based prayer the key feeling as if the prayer is already answered coming from the outcome there is a huge difference between working toward the outcome a little at a time and beginning with the outcome and you've probably seen this huge difference in your life as a child i know that i did for example i was

told when i was young if i scrape my knee on the sidewalk the healing is going to happen slowly gradually over a period of time and you know what sure enough that's exactly the way it happened i would look and expect my mom told me she said every day it's going to get a little bit better a little bit better a little bit better than i'd look and she was right it was getting a little better a little better and a little better is it possible that when we look at our bodies with that kind

of expectation that the healing actually reflects it mirrors our expectation and if that is true what would happen if we begin with the outcome i wouldn't tell you i've done this in my life and it has worked and that's why i can sit here and look at you right now and i can tell you i know that this modality of prayer works and when we talk about prayer we're talking about this as a code interacting with creation this has nothing to do with any religion whatsoever i want to be really clear about that although religions

have wrapped the rules and the dogma around these deeply spiritual principles in the past and actually led to people in some respects feeling further from their power it has disempowered the people the rules and the dogma so we're cutting right through the rules in the dog but we're going to the essence of our most ancient and cherished spiritual technology it's about the relationship between you and me the field the earth the heavens the cosmos and our bodies so i've had the opportunity to begin my healing from the place where we are conditioned to think vivid

leads to feel the feeling as if the healing has already happened in other programs i've talked about this i went through a physical in the year 2000 there was a tumor inside my bladder that doctors wanted to operate on physically i acknowledged that i applied everything that i had learned in my life and i really applied it i didn't just kind of apply it i lived the deepest truth the existence of everything that i'm saying to you in this program and it takes work it takes work to do that and i did that work and

when i went back fully prepared for surgery if it was needed what the doctors found was there's no need for the surgery i've done this with cuts and scrapes as well our bodies will respond we're part of the field we're emerging from this field and we communicate with the field in a language that recognizes emotion feeling just like david did with the rain then the field responds so so let me tell you what happened with the rain david and i went in the taos new mexico we had lunch about an hour south of where this

prayer was was uh offered by the time i got back onto my land something began to happen that we hadn't seen in a long time big black clouds came in over the sangra de cristo mountains it started to rain and it rained and it rained and rained and rained it rained all that night it rained the next morning it rained the next afternoon it rained and rained it rained so much the ground was so dry it couldn't absorb the rain and everything began to flood fields were flooded cattle were stranded roads were washed out and

i called my friend on the phone i'm just going to share this with you i called my friend on the phone and i said david man this is a mess i said what is happening and he was quiet just for a moment and he said greg that's the part of the prayer our ancestors could never figure out he said they could tell it to rain but they couldn't tell it how much to reign so i cannot prove to you scientifically yet david's prayer had anything to do with the rain that came in that afternoon i

cannot prove that to you as a scientist as a scientist what i have to say is there's a high correlation between the rain that appeared that hadn't been seen a long time and what david had just done hours earlier and the weatherman would agree i watched the weatherman that evening and on the weather maps what they showed was a low pressure front that came across utah wyoming and it came into colorado and then down into northern new mexico and it made a little loop and went right back up and that low pressure system is what

brought the rain to that place so when we talk about these things some of these are anecdotal stories but they're illustrating from an indigenous perspective a very powerful concept look at what david did he incorporated all of his senses he didn't ask for something to happen he felt it had already happened he smelled what it smells like when it happens he heard the sounds of the rain i didn't even tell you about that part but he heard the sounds of the rain and he felt as if that rain is already there i'm going to invite

you to think about this as we go into this this modality of prayer that i'm going to share with you so the principles that i'm sharing this mode are very simple they're also very ancient and everything i'm saying to you we see the instructions for this kind of prayer for this code that allows us to speak directly to the matrix we see these principles recorded in some of our most ancient cherished spiritual traditions and i'm talking about lost biblical books that i described earlier in this program these are the books that were discovered in the

mid 20th century as the nag hammadi library in egypt remember the the dead sea scrolls are the oldest records of the old testament the nag hamadi library are the oldest records of the new testament both of them found on mid-20th century the 1940s and in that nog hamadi library the 43 plus books that were completely removed from the biblical canon in the fourth century by the emperor constantine were intact in the nog commodity library including the gospel of thomas that we've spoken about earlier thomas the scribe that followed the master jesus the teacher not a

religious man from this perspective he followed the teacher and he recorded the words the exact words of the teacher and this is important because there is a place in the gospel of thomas where his students asked the teacher how to communicate with the field they didn't use those terms they asked how to communicate with god and it's in the gospel of thomas that we find the instructions for the fifth mode the lost mode of prayer now i mentioned earlier that you've heard the term when something is lost in translation and it is this translation that

i'm going to share with you from this biblical book after its discovery that is a beautiful example of just how much a difference one difference an error in translation can make so it's in the gospel of thomas that we actually find the instructions for this fifth or this lost mode of prayers as i mentioned so let me first read to you the translation in the authorized version of the king james bible as we see it today if you'd like to see this for yourself it's in king james version of the book of john 16 through

23 is where you would find this i know you've heard this before how many of you have heard uh ask and ye shall receive that's where this comes from let me read you the translation the translation goes like this whatsoever ye ask the father in my name he will give it to you ask and ye shall receive that your joy may be full okay and that's the end of the translation i don't know about you when i was a kid i would ask and ask and ask and not much would happen and i became very

frustrated many people do we feel powerless we feel that our prayers really aren't making any any difference because we're not seeing any way to reinforce that our prayers have actually done something they've made a difference we're going to go back into the original aramaic translation and greek and aramaic both but this is going to be from the original aramaic in the gospel of thomas you see greek and aramaic is why i'm clarifying this and i want to read you and it's very close but there's a powerful and subtle difference that was left out in the

translation that may very well be because the translators did not understand what you and i are exploring right now because they didn't understand it they simply streamlined the languaging so in the translated version and if you'd like to see this for yourself it comes from neil douglas clothes is the the name of the translator there's a little book called prayers of the cosmos it is a beautiful beautiful book where he re-translates so many of the very powerful prayers and this is one of them now listen to the difference in the original text it begins a

very similar way quote all things that you ask straightly directly from inside my name you'll be given okay now here comes the translation that was in error this is the original ask without hidden motive and be surrounded by your answer be enveloped by what you desire that your gladness be full that is a single very powerful statement i'm going to break this down ask without hidden motive that is inviting you to ask without attachment to the outcome it's actually a very buddhist concept ask without attachment to the rightness the wrongness the goodness the badness or

the joy or the disappointment is as to whether or not your prayer is answered without attachment to the outcome okay be be surrounded by your answer be enveloped by what you desire the only way to be is if those things are already present your prayer is already answered you're coming from the place that the prayer has already been answered so the key to what we're saying here feel the feeling feel as if the prayer is already answered with as many senses as you can smell touch taste hearing feel as if your body is already healed

feel as if your perfect relationship is already present feel as if your abundance is already present invoke all of those senses [Music] earlier in the series i suggested a new model for creation and the way that it works and a new philosophy that says that our creation that consciousness is constantly informing us of ourselves through our creations the things that we create art music books the things that we create that we believe are entertainment or creative expression in addition to those things that they are actually us informing us of ourselves informing us of our relationship

to the field so that we can remind ourselves of this very powerful internal technology prayer is a perfect example of what i'm talking about here now i'm going to do this in a very condensed format to give you the sense for what i'm saying and then you can take this idea and you can apply it in your own prayers i'm going to give you a template to do just that i worked in the corporations and as a scientist as a senior computer systems designer during the cold war years i understand computer systems really well one

of the things that amazed me is no matter how complex or how simple they are whether we're writing three million lines of code which happens with some of the systems that are being used in the in the research industry or or just a couple of lines of code the programs will always follow the same template here's the template there is always an introduction that tells the program what is about to happen they're called declaration statements then following the declaration there is the work the body of the program that's actually doing the calculations and then there

is a close something to bring the program to closure all right that is the way the most sophisticated computer systems in our world work today if we are building in our world if consciousness is informing us in our world something we know and need to know about ourselves then the question is is it possible that those most sophisticated computers can be telling us something about the way we communicate with the matrix the answer is yes the template that allows the most sophisticated computers in the way to work the way it works is precisely the template

that allows your prayers to work the way they work and your prayers when you build your prayers i'm going to invite you to do precisely this the first statement of your prayer a declaration statement tell the field tell the matrix tell consciousness tell god what it is that you're about to do in a single phrase or a brief sentence be be concise you can simply say this is a prayer of healing for my body or a prayer of healing regarding my loved ones and then in the code what is it that you want to happen

but come from the place that's already happened give thanks for what has already already occurred i give thanks for the perfection my body for the healing my body for the healing of my loved ones for the healing of my relationship all right this is the the body of the code the closure so beautiful and so powerful in the closure we're telling the field that it's already done and for the closure the texts invite us to use the original aramaic the original aramaic there's something about these words let me share them with you the words [Music]

amen at the end of your prayer what does that mean it means i seal this prayer in trust and faith and truth amen i can't think of a more powerful more sophisticated more beautiful technology that has been left to us than our ability to communicate with this field in a meaningful way and i've just shared with you one template there may be others this is a very powerful template that was left to us 2500 years ago that allows us to do just that the bottom line of everything i'm saying to you is through the fifth

mode of prayer our feeling based prayer we are given the ability to communicate directly with the possibilities exist in the universal field in this divine matrix and to do so in a language that the matrix recognizes our most ancient and cherished spiritual traditions have preserved the knowledge and the technique to interact with the divine matrix and for us to rewrite our personal as well as the global reality code on the next episode we'll discover why our relationship with this matrix literally holds the key to the crises that are destroying our families and our communities polarizing

our societies and our nations today so i want to thank you for joining me for this very special presentation and be sure to tune in for our next all-new episode of the divine matrix bridging time space miracles and belief [Music] you
