THE LORD'S PRAYER

Translated from the Dead Sea Scrolls

                   Per Greg Braden

 

Our Father,

Who art in heaven,

Your name is honored by all.

Your kingdom, counsel and advice are with us now.

Your desire in heaven is also on this earth.

We give thanks for our nourishment this day and

We are freed from our offences.

As we have freed our offenders.

Each day we remember our holiness

And are free from our errors,

For belongs to you

The kingdom, power and the song of all ages,

Throughout all ages.

 

Our Mother,

Which art the earth,

Power be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done through us

As it is in thee.

As thou sends forth thy angels each day,

Send them to us.

Forgive our errors

As we atone our errors against thee.

Lead us not into sickness.

Deliver us from error

For thine is the earth, the body, the life

Of mankind.

We seal this prayer with faith, trust, and truth. 

 

                                                                        Amen

 

These ancient prayers were used long ago by enlightened men and women who repeated them "unceasingly" for periods of time. The most powerful effects now come from repeating these prayers for nine minutes without stopping.  The following ancient prayers have been used through the ages with great success:

 

Buddhist - "I Seek Refuge in Lord Buddha and Find Balance in All Things."

 

Christian - "Lord Jesus Christ, Let me be a Pure Vessel for Your Love and

            Your Light."

 

Hindu (Krishna) - "Lord Krishna, Surround me with Your Love This Day."

 

Hindu (Shiva) - "Lord Shiva, in You I Gain Strength, Be with me This Day."

 

Islamic - "God is Great, Great is His Prophet, To God I Give my All."

 

Jewish - "My Lord, My God, Holy is Thy Name, Send Thy Love to me Today."

I AM THERE

James Dillet Freeman

 

 

Do you need Me ?
I am there.

 

You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands.

 

I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.
I am at work, though you do not understand My works.
I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.

 

Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me
as I AM, and then but as a feeling and a faith.

 

Yet I am here. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.
When you need ME, I am there.
Even if you deny Me, I am there.
Even when you feel most alone, I am there.
Even in your fears, I am there.
Even in your pain, I am there.

 

I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.
I am in you, and you are in Me.
Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for
only in your mind are the mists of "yours" and "mine".
Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me.

 

Empty your heart of empty fears.
When you get yourself out of the way, I am there.
You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.
And I AM in all.

 

Though you may not see the good, good is there, for
I am there. I am there because I have to be, because I AM.

 

Only in Me does the world have meaning; only out of Me does the world take form; only because of ME does the world go forward.
I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded.

 

I am the love that is the law's fulfilling. I am assurance.
I am peace. I am oneness.  I am the law that you can live by.
I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance.
I am your peace. I am ONE with you. I am.

 

Though you fail to find ME, I do not fail you.
Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never
wavers, because I know you, because I love you.

 

Beloved, I AM there.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS HAPPEN

 

O God

Such beautiful things happen

When I meet You day by day

In quietness and confidence.

There is a deep inner wholeness

And the assurance of Your guidance.

I am not so easily disturbed

By changing circumstance.

I am less dependent on others

And more dependent on You.

My eyes may be full of tears

But my heart is full of joy.

In discovering Your hidden treasures

I learn how deeply I am treasured by You.

When day by day I am responsive

To Your whispered secrets

You do more for me in one day

                                    Than I could do for myself in a lifetime.

                                                                                                                                               

 

Dear God,

 

Show me the light at the center of

            my brothers.

Show me the light at the center of

            myself.

Show me the light at the center of

            the world.

Where I see guilt, show me innocence.

Where I focus on mistakes, show me

            how to focus on efforts at good.

Help me have faith in the goodness of

            others.

Help me have faith in Your spirit

            within me.

Thus may darkness be cast out.

May I cleave to the light that is in

            my heart.

This is my prayer.

May I see the light in everyone.

                                                            Amen.

BECAUSE I KNOW YOU

I HAVE KNOWN ANGELS

 

There have been angels in my life.

While they haven’t arrived

with a blast of trumpets

or a rustle of wings,

I’ve know them just the same.

They performed their acts in human guise,

sometimes borrowing the faces

of family and friends,

sometimes posing

as well-meaning strangers.

You have known them, too,

when just the right word was needed,

when a tiny act of kindness

made a great difference..

or perhaps you heard a voice

whispering in a night of sorrow,

the words not quite clear

but the meaning unmistakable--

“There is hope...

There is hope.”
