“ALREADY DONE”
During the visualization portion of my Mind-Programming CDs and videos, I ask listeners to imagine what they desire as if it were already so, and to do this with emotion. As an example I’ve used for 30 years: If you’re programming to lose weight, visualize yourself stepping upon your bathroom scale and watch the dial settle upon the weight you desire to be. Then imagine yourself excitedly telling your partner or a friend that you have reached your goal and how good it feels.
Visualization with emotion is the most powerful part of a mind-programming session.
To bring some of this thinking up to speed, I’ll share some recent awareness that excited me when I spent a weekend as a participant in a “Divine Matrix” seminar conducted by author Gregg Braden. Gregg’s message was a composite of his books, “The God Code,” “The Isaiah Effect” and “Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer.”
Much of Gregg’s communication relates to his long search through ancient writings and sacred texts for a more effective form of prayer. As much as I am into mind-programming, I had not considered that classic prayer — asking God for what you want — actually cancels out your request. From a programming perspective, you begin by acknowledging you do not have what you want.
Here’s an excerpt from Gregg’s latest book, “Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer.” He describes accompanying a friend on a hike through the NM high desert. During a time of drought, his friend David wanted to pray for rain within a medicine wheel. “I wasn’t prepared for what I saw next. I watched carefully as David removed his shoes, gently placed his naked feet into the circle, and honored the four directions and all of his ancestors. Slowly, he placed his hands in front of his face in a praying position, closed his eyes and became motionless. Oblivious to the heat of the midday desert sun, his breathing slowed and became barely noticeable. After only a few moments, he took a deep breath, opened his eyes to look at me, and said, ‘Let’s go. Our work is finished here.’
“Expecting to see dancing, or at least some chanting, I was surprised by how quickly this prayer began and then ended. ‘Already?’ I asked. ‘I thought you were going to pray for rain!’
“David’s reply to my question has been the key that has helped so many to understand this kind of prayer. As he sat on the ground to lace up his shoes, David looked up at me and smiled. ‘No,’ he replied. ‘I said that I would pray rain. If I have prayed for rain, it would never happen.’”
Gregg asked, “‘If you didn’t pray for rain, then what did you do?’
“‘It’s simple,’ he replied. ‘I began to have the feeling of what rain feels like. I felt the feeling of rain on my body, and what it feels like to stand with my naked feet in the mud in our village plaza because there has been so much rain. I smelled the smells of rain on the earthen walls in our village, and felt what it feels like to walk through fields of corn chest high because there as been so much rain.’”
David had used his thoughts, feelings and emotions to perceive what he desired as an already accomplished fact. Although Gregg does not go into it in the book, in the seminar he said the following day it started to rain and did not stop until after the rain itself had become a problem.
In another segment of the seminar, Gregg showed a video of a woman with inoperable cancer being healed at a medical clinic in mainland China. A female technician used an ultra-sound monitor allowing us to see what was happening within the patient’s body as three doctors chanted something to the effect of the healing being “ALREADY DONE.” Within 2 1/2 minutes the cancer disappeared. The success rate of such healings is over 90 percent if the patient is willing to establish new patterns of thinking, diet and exercise.
