Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer: The Hidden Power of Beauty, Blessing, Wisdom, and Hurt

by Gregg Braden

— Beauty Is the Transformer of Our Hurt: Beyond something that we see only with our eyes, when we can see the symmetry, balance, and the give- and-take of a situation, we begin to see why things have happened the way they have. This is where the magic occurs! When our hurt makes sense to us and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, we begin to feel differently about our experience. In that difference, our hurt becomes wisdom. This is where the healing begins. — Feeling Is the Prayer: Ancient traditions remind us that the world around us is nothing more and nothing less than the mirror of what we’ve become in our lives: what we feel about our relationships with ourselves, one another, and, ultimately, God. Scientific evidence now suggests precisely the same thing; what we feel inside our bodies is carried into the world beyond our bodies.
