The Lost Mode of Prayer Gregg Braden

Learn a Lost Technology to Change the World – and Your Destiny: Is there a forgotten spiritual tool that offers each one of us the ability to heal ourselves, our relationships with others, and even our endangered planet? On The Lost Mode of Prayer, Gregg Braden – the author of the phenomenal book Awakening to Zero Point – examines evidence from both modern science and ancient texts to shed light on a secret lost to humanity in the year 325. This knowledge was relegated to elite priesthoods and mystery schools in the fourth century, leaving a crucial gap in our understanding of the world. Now, through newly translated texts preserved by the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Braden reveals the inner workings of this powerful force sleeping in the mists of our ancient memory – and how to use this "inner technology" to create profound changes in ourselves and those around us.

Customer Reviews

For all you fans of The Celestine Prophecy...
... comes Gregg Braden, a modern day prophet filled with secret, lost teachings of the ancients! He'll stun you with the secret methods Jesus used to contact God and spread peace and love into the world! He'll wow you with his access to 45 lost books of the bible and their amazing revelations! You'll be an instant saint, overnight!

Not quite. Braden's "lost mode of prayer" is just a typical guided meditation of the kind often used by teachers, therapists, and ministers. His 45 lost books are commonly available apocryphal and gnostic texts that you can purchase at any Barnes and Noble. His amazing revelations may startle someone who's entire exposure to religion consists of mainline protestantism, but for someone who already has a background in mysticism, meditation, or the occult, his methods just look silly.

Despite all this, Braden has a pleasant, teacher-like voice, and does deliver a soothing meditation walk-through. I have the CD version, and sometimes I just listen to the last track, just to skip right to the guided prayer- the rest of the recording is worthless. Despite this, I would still say it isn't worth the money, though it might not be a bad disk to pull out of a discount bin somewhere.

The Lost Mode of Prayer
This book is a bunch of garble-d-goop and talking in circles and not saying much of anything.
The bible specificlly tells you how to pray. Nothing has been lost in the interpitation. The writers of the books of the bible were told by GOD to write it down and they did. GOD does not, and can not, lie.
Where did this guy get his information on 45 (to HIS knowledge) lost books of the bible that were kept out of the interpetation because someone decided, in their vast wisdom, that we did not need them? There is no such thing, period.
This information was created out of imagination, just like Mormonism and the Davidians and any other cult.
If you would like the TRUTH about prayer, may I suggust writings by Hank Hanigraf, Luis Pulau, Billy Graham, or the author's of the books of the bible.

Misleading title; lots of filler
Before Mr. Braden ever tells us what the lost mode of prayer is, we have to listen to both sides of tape 1, then listen to more than half of side A of tape 2 - and there are only two tapes. Most of the tape 1 is dedicated to:

1) descriptions of various prophecies that all support the idea that we are in a historical period of change (You probably already know that without the help of prophecies.)

2) distorted references to scientific research (cold fusion, molecular structure, new observations in astronomy, etc.) used in attempts to support the idea that we are all connected through vibrational energy (which I believe is true on some levels, but most of his examples don't really logically support the idea. It just seems like an attempt to make the tape sound academic when it's not. There are even grammatical errors.)

The lost mode of prayer can be summed up as follows: Don't pray _for_ things because that focuses on lack and fear. Instead use all of your senses to feel, see, smell, move through how things are as you want them. Then, give thanks for your part in the creation. For example, instead of praying _for_ rain," "pray rain." Experience how it feels, looks, etc., then give thanks. Okay, this actually is a great way to deepen prayer, but it takes forever for the tapes to get there.

The rest of tape 2 focuses some on praying peace and using nature to get back to the feeling of peace. The Hindu peace prayer is nice and at first seems to bring the tape to a close on a higher spiritual plane. But then, it is jarringly followed by a commercial after a very brief musical interlude!
