FOREWORD
One of the most profound questions we can ask ourselves is “What is Life?”. For many, this question means "What is
orchestrating the Life we see, feel, and experience within and around us?". Many people are actively looking for the
answers to these questions – Namely, The Scientist. While others are actively looking for ways to experience it -- Namely,
The Spiritualist. Both attempt to understand the meaning of Life and what is orchestrating it. As they do, many first look for
signs Life shows us of how it operates. Are there Universal Laws that we can interpret from observing Life?
It is most common to look out at Nature and ponder what Life is through an observer’s point of view. Scientists write these
observations down and call them "Physics". But a spiritualist will look inside himself and ask “What is orchestrating MY
Life?”. The spiritualist takes his observations to a personal level. Both the scientist and the spiritualist instinctively know
that , without this Divine gift of Life, we would not be able to think, feel, observe, and act.
However, maybe a better question to ask instead of "What is Life?" would be "What is Life made of?" or "What are the
components of Life?". When we look at it from this scientific and philosophic point of questioning, we see that Life is made
of Thought and Actions. We often forget that our habitual thoughts and actions are instrumental in creating the Life we
currently have and the Life we habitually see around us.
Whether we scientifically look without or spiritually look within, more and more questions about Life arise. The scientific
questions that arise seem to be innumerable. But the spiritual questions like.. “Am I using all the capacities I was born
with?”.. “How can I find my purpose for having been born?”… “Are there ways I can come closer to Divinity?”… or “Is there
a way I can enrich my daily existence?” seem to touch our Soul. Either way, asking questions helps us to become more
sensitive and open to answers. Answers we have all received from, as yet, unknown dimensions of Life.
Even if we are neither scientists or spiritualists, we can testify to some truths about Life and its reality. One thing that we all
can confirm is that Life is full of dualities; Up/Down, Hot/Cold, Rich/Poor, Male/Female, etc... Life and Death is a major
duality that we all understand. In Life, we are sure death will come. Because of that one duality, spiritualists have
developed many rituals and spiritual practices. These practices, like prayer, are to help us prepare for the day when we are
standing in front of God and his council after we die. Standing there, we assume that we will be asked “What did you do
with your Life?”. What will we say? How will we defend our actions, our habits, and our thoughts? With a routinely
practiced ritual, we can at least say "I prayed".
Standing in front of God and his council, every little secret we've ever tried to hide during our lives will be known. However,
the only judgment we will receive is that we never spent any regular time being conscious during the lives we have now.
Will God tell us “I gave you so many signs, but there were so few you saw that had any meaning for you"?... "I gave you the
Earth, Nature, The Zodiac, The Stars, and The Sun… and remember when you met that person?.. or did this?... or went
through that?... That was to give you a great lesson. A Life experience you needed to evolve. To help you grow. But, you did
not see this either”. As we stand there in front of God and his council looking back over our lives and our wasted time,
eventually there will be only one word we will be able to say -- “Okay!”. "Okay, now I see why I had to marry my second
wife”. "Okay, now I see why I had to get fired from my job". "Okay, now I understand why my business failed". "Okay, now I
see why I had to fall from that horse". "Okay, now I see why I had to go through that painful experience.. Okay!". “Okay,
okay, okay!!”. "I get it now. Now, I see why! Now, I understand.". Our Life will all fall into place. But, then it will be too late.
We will already have left our bodies and will probably have to be re-born to finish our work and our evolving. Yes... There
might have been some progress, but it was not enough to complete the “Re-union with our Divine Self” -- The Ultimate
Goal we all aspire to.
We will stand there and say “Okay, okay, okay!!..Yes, I see now!”. But unfortunately, we will have to be put through the
processes of rebirth. In doing so, it will entail our past-life memories being erased. And thusly, we will forget the lessons we
should have learned in the Life we have just left. In the next Life, we will again have to wait until Karma and fate to come
knocking on our door.
When we are standing front of God and get asked why our entire life was spent having sex, getting famous, getting high,
getting rich, or getting revenge – what will we say? What did it all amount to? Will we think that much of our time was
wasted? And if an Entity in The Council is merciful and asks us, “Even if you did spend your life getting high, famous, and
rich...Did you at least try to see God in it?”. What will we say instead of “Okay, okay, okay..!!”??
To avoid this eventual remorse, maybe it would be best to spend a small part of our lives now in "Conscious Awareness".
We all know death is unavoidable. This was one of the major points that awakened The Buddha and lead him to
enlightenment. Like him, the first step we can take is to remember our inevitable death and to use it to become more
conscious in our actions and thoughts. By asking ourselves if we are spending our short lives in the best way, we start to
focus on what we can do now. On the time now. And on our life now. When we examine what our Life is made of, we see
that every day of our lives are filled with thoughts and actions. So, since Life is made of thoughts and actions, are we using
our thoughts and actions in the best or highest way? As humans, we can be mindful and alive. We have the ability to
choose. Being alive we can choose to be both scientist and spiritualist -- Awake, open, and alert to the many signs swirling
within and around us from Universal Intelligence.
The focus of this book is not for you to concentrate on becoming a person who "spreads happiness and love to everyone in
the world". The goal of this book is for you to become a conscious and active component within The Universal Mind. Being
a "nice person" is a by-product that others will feel you naturally emanate. They will subconsciously compare you to the
many others who are not actively aligning their thoughts and aspirations to The Universal Mind. Through practice you
achieve this, whereby peace and happiness are naturally spread through your words and actions. You don't have to think
about it.
It is my hope that you can take one or two of the techniques within these pages to help you with manifesting your desires.
If you want to do all the six steps, it will take you between 20 – 60 minutes each day. If it's 20 minutes, you are probably
going through the steps more with your mind. If it's 60 minutes, you are probably going through the steps more with your
heart. Either way, you put a lot of powerful, magical, and spiritual energy within and around you in motion. Your desire,
thought, and practice are key. As the Universe we live in is continuously at play, these steps help you step into this play of
consciousness. We have the ability to do this because we are a part of it. The more we practice, the more we begin to see
signs of us becoming a conscious participants in this play of consciousness.
The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer are easy to practice and remember. As you read this book, the metaphor to keep in mind is
of climbing to the top of a tower and opening a window. We have all opened a door or a window before and felt a cool
summer breeze of air blow across our face and over our body. Fulfilling your dreams through scientific prayer can be as
easily compared to that! Keep this window metaphor in mind as you start on your journey into Wealth and Wonder.
In the following pages, I will explain the steps in greater detail. But for now, the steps and chapters are:
•








Preparing...
(Quieting your thoughts and opening the vessel of your body.)
(STEP ONE) -- Climbing to the top floor of a building and finding a glass window…
(Combining "The Eternal Field" with "The Cosmic Sound”…”Tao-Om” / “Allah-Amen”…)
(STEP TWO) -- Cleaning the dirt and grime off of the glass of the window…
(The Om Namah Shivaya purifying Mantra. merging with the 5 elements of Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Ether)
Looking through that cleaned glass window out onto a beautiful garden&
("I am that I am" - "I am an active and abundant component within The Universal Mind")
(STEP THREE) -- Opening the window…
(The Alchemic Trinity of Sex – Love – Romance. Sending sexual energy UP through your chakras, kundalini,
Sephirot, and caduceus)
(STEP FOUR) -- Feeling a cool breeze of air blowing onto your face…
(The Pentacle of Akasha and The Pentacle of Virtues…activating crystals, Light, and rainbows with thought)
(STEP FIVE) -- Making a paper airplane of your written desire and sending it out through the window…
(Designing your prayer based on Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why)
Seeing the paper airplane catch the breeze and watching it fly through the air out over the beautiful
garden...
(Combining The Power of Imagination and Desire with “The Fire of Abundance”)
Being alert to signs that your desire is being fulfilled&
(Being watchful in your awake and dream-states. Working with Mind Maps.)
(STEP SIX) -- Manifesting your desire down into a physical reality.
(The Power of Writing and Sketching… Writing on Water)
The Six Steps above can actually be thought of as three. Namely, the ones where we "Transcend", the ones where we
"Activate", and the ones where we "Pray". In step one, we transcend from the physical world to a deeper level of
consciousness. In steps two, three, and four, we activate our faculties within and resonate with Universal abundance. In
steps five and six, we design our prayers, stimulate them, and watch them materialize. Having these methods creates "A
Golden Path" within you. A place within yourself where you can always come to and rely on. At the very least, this path can
take you through and beyond any worries, difficulties, or problems that may arise in your Life.
There are many books written by mystics and spiritual adepts which focus on one of the above steps, or an aspect of it. The
books written by these teachers tell us that if we practice the step that we are reading about that it will take us to the level
of “Genius” - The highest level of Human existence, where we live in a close a conscious contact to The Universal Source
(“Gen” = “Source” in Latin). For instance, there are countless books written about the chakras, or energy centers found in
our bodies. We can spend YEARS reading about the different chakra colors and that one aspect of our being.
But, with the Six-step Scientific Prayer method, chakras, kundalini, sephirot, etc... are not the main focus. All these and
more are naturally empowered and energized when we focus on this "Golden Path" or "Path of Light" within us. Seen in
another way, when we drive a car or ride a bike we are not focused on the gears or wheels of our vehicle. Rather, we are
mainly focused on the road and getting to where we are going. After we've gone through a fair amount of practicing and
training, we feel confident enough in ourselves that the only thing we focus on is the path and our vehicle's energy supply.
As drivers and bicyclists, we know that one small movement from us will change the whole mechanism of our automobiles
and bicycles. No one is expecting us to know everything about a carburetor, a steering system, or how to fix a ten-speed.
We could spend YEARS studying the sephirot and the chakras and still not know everything about them. As "commuters",
we only need to know that these mechanisms are there and functioning as they should. With this, we can drive with ease
and achieve our goals.
When we transcend, activate, and pray with Scientific prayer, we awaken light, joy, and beauty within ourselves. We also
remove Spiritual Tunnel Vision, a condition that keeps us blocked and far from our goal of oneness with The Universal
Mind. Hopefully, with the window metaphor in mind, we can easily and scientifically practice the six steps towards our own
state of genius in a continuous, fluent, and simple way.
Many methods exist to help us towards our own state of genius. Prayer, rituals, and meditation are some of the effective
tools used by many people across all religions and cultures. But the process you are about to learn is, to my mind, more
intensive, pro-active, and scientific. As will be said many times throughout these pages… Beyond Race, Religion, Sex, and
Sexuality, we all carry a “Spiritual Tool Box” inside ourselves. A “box” where we can easily grab the building tools we need
to evoke light and abundance in our lives. You can also think of it as a “Spiritual Tool Bag” strapped around our waists. We
all have spiritual “wrenches”, “hammers”, “measuring tapes”, “pliers”, “saws”, “paint brushes”, and “screwdrivers” that we
have never even used!
Prayer, rituals, and meditation are three of these tools. But, there are many MORE! Hopefully, this book can show us how
to use some of our tools more effectively. You will have many reasons to open your tool box and dig around in it. By taking
out these brand new tools and working with them, you will discover how they can work for you. We were all born with this
tool box and are all able to access and open it. We see both tangible and intangible results when we start practicing with
these new tools. We begin building abundant, colorful, and wonder-filled futures for ourselves.
My hope is that more and more tools will be discovered within our own divine resources and will spring from our conscious
connection to The Universal Mind. I, myself, see this book as a “Starter Kit”. It is my hope that as more and more people
begin to work their own Tools and Tool Boxes, that this will open up new ways we can communicate with Divinity and with
each other. I can see that as our spirits develop and evolve. We will surely be able to interact with others in new ways.
People like ourselves who are living and operating at this higher resonance. As we do, I am sure more and more tools will
be discovered than just the six found in this book. They are there, just waiting to be used.
These six and more are already in our possession!

INTRODUCTION
First, a little bit of Science....
10% of The Brain and Junk DNA
Many scientific theories and hypothesis can be looked at from several sides. At one time, not that long ago, people were
convinced that the world was flat and that if you sailed past the horizon you would fall off the edge. It took a few fearless
adventurers to challenge this theory, set sail past what they were taught to believe, and then come back to tell the others
that they had discovered an entirely new world and that there was nothing to be afraid of.
In our world today, there are two “scientific facts” that are widely spread throughout the media. Firstly, it is widely
believed that “man only uses 10% of his brain”. And, secondly, that 98% of our DNA is “Junk”. By practicing Scientific
Prayer, we can begin to examine and experience these “facts” in an entirely different way.
As for man using only 10% of his brain, this has already been scientifically proven to be untrue (1). When scientists examine
both PET- and MRI-scans, it is seen that the vast majority of our brains are incessantly active. Still that does not say that all
of our brain cells are incessantly in use. Just as not all of our muscles are in constant use. But when we regularly work out
at the gym or practice athletics, our muscles become stronger and get into top form to easily perform the tasks we want
when we do decide to use them.
So too do our mental capacities increase with practice and daily work-outs. All areas of our brain are needed and are
functioning at several times of the day, according to our activities. However, the media makes it seem like only a small part
of our brain ever gets used. What is known is that certain activities that everyone does everyday are directed from certain
areas of the brain - actually, the Mind. The brain is the physical mass (gray material, etc..), the Mind is where we store
everything from memories, thoughts, feelings, etc… Via the brain, our PET and MRI machines can measure the synapses,
electric charges, signals, and brain waves we are receiving from an activated Mind.
Everything we do is carried out by the Mind - from blinking the eyes to digesting food… to remembering, seeing, feeling and
hearing… to emotions of Love, worry, anger, etc... And most of these things are done without our conscious participation.
As for DNA, we can see that it has been one of the most important discoveries in recent years. The discovery and Science of
DNA has indeed changed the world – even beyond the field of Science. Not only have innocent people on Death Row been
freed because of DNA, but also forensics, agriculture, paternity cases, legal cases, and the treatment of diseases have all
greatly progressed because of it.
We can describe DNA as an internal messaging system, where billions of codes are passed on billions of times in a billionth
of a second. The double-helix DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce.
Enzymes read the instructions, then turn it into RNA, then the RNA turns it into amino acids, and then finally these amino
acids are read and get turned into the wide-variety of protein molecules our bodies need. Without these complex proteins,
we could not survive.
Much is known about DNA because of its building blocks (known as Nucleotides). All DNA contains coded biological
instructions that make each species unique. This is why a giraffe becomes a giraffe, a caterpillar becomes a caterpillar, and
a human becomes a human. DNA, along with the instructions it contains, is passed from adult organisms to their offspring
during reproduction.
DNA is found inside a special area of the cell called the nucleus. Because the cell is very small, and because organisms have
many DNA molecules per cell, each DNA molecule must be tightly packaged. This packaged form of the DNA is called a
chromosome. The DNA unwinds during reproduction, yet it stays compact during cell division. Both are happening billions
of times within your body while you are reading this page.
Besides the DNA located in the nucleus, humans and other complex organisms also have a small amount of DNA in cell
structures known as mitochondria. Mitochondria generate the energy the cell needs. In sexual reproduction, organisms
inherit half of their nuclear DNA from the male parent and half from the female parent. Why we have curly hair or straight
hair, brown eyes or green eyes, and olive skin or black skin is because of the specific base code instructions on the DNA
within our blood cells. The code instructions for human DNA, or genome, contains about 3 billion bases and about 20,000
genes on 23 pairs of chromosomes. In other words, if you were to count out one base on one DNA every second, non-stop,
you would keep counting for the next 95 YEARS!
Deeper than the chromosome or the gene are merely four bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C).
But, the way they are laid out in a long, compact, and winding chain is what our cells have decoded that has made us look
like we do. These codes are what we pass down to our children.
Some common facts about DNA
Where?
Located?
Looks like?
Built of?
What happens?
What triggers it and why?
When did DNA originate?
Who/What designed it?
DNA is found in our blood cells.
DNA in the nucleus of the cell and on its mitochondria, where energy is produced.
Tightly packaged, double helix or chromosome. Sometimes refered to as a twisted ladder.
Nucleotides, genomes, and base code instructions. These instructions are read by RNA
which produce all of our body’s proteins.
23 chromosomes. 20,000 genes. 3 Billion base codes (A,T, G, C) per DNA, laid out in a
chain.
DNA unwinds during cell reproduction, but stays compact during cell division.
Both are happening inside you NOW!

mechanisms)

It's all very interesting and fascinating! And many people consider DNA to be the most important discovery man has ever
made. However, from everything we have learned about DNA and what it does, our knowledge is only based on the 2% of
the entire DNA chain that “codes” in a way that can be measured by a machine. In other words, there is 98% of the DNA
molecule that we know nothing about! Why? Because this 98% is non-coding.
This is a fact that stares back at many scientists day after day. In the lab, this baffles, angers, and frustrates them to the
point that most of them have termed this non-coding DNA as junk. "Junk DNA".
…Junk?
Junk would be a more logical term if the condition were the opposite. That is, if only 2% of our DNA was non-coding and
98% is what we have gained our knowledge from. But, it’s not. 98% of it is non-coding and immeasurable and from only 2%
of it are we able to extract our knowledge.
Scientists create these patronizing terms when Nature does not conform to our rules. The biggest example of that of all is
how most scientists view God himself. But, maybe it is not the DNA that is wrong. Maybe it is us, how we are thinking
about it, and what we are wanting it to be? In regards to DNA research, this vast majority of non-coding human DNA is not
the elephant in the room… it is the herd of STAMPEDING elephants in the room!
The difference between 2% and 98% is HUGE! In 2014, if we were to say that the entire population of the United States
was the DNA molecule, then what we know about DNA would only account for either the State of Washington or the State
of Tennessee. If we were to say that the entire population of Europe was the DNA molecule, then what we know about
DNA would only account for Holland. If we were to say that the entire population of the World was the DNA molecule, then
what we know about DNA would only account for Russia. The rest of the United States, Europe, or the World would be the
98%. Other examples are if were to suppose our entire body as being the DNA molecule, then just our feet would be the
proportional 2% that is coding. The rest of our body would be non-coding. And finally, at this point in the book, you have
read just over 2% of it.
Everything that we hear and read about DNA is from the 2% that codes in a way that a machine can read. To be scientific,
something has to get measured. Records have to be taken. However, we are surrounded by things that can not be
measured. Can a thought be measured? Can a memory be measured? Can an idea be measured? Can an intention be
measured? With these un-measurable things even Science could not exist.
Most of Life is built on thought. Without moving a muscle or even breathing, we could go through several thoughts,
memories, ideas, and intentions. If we were to analyze an average Life, we could estimate that it is 98% thought. But,
again, the nature of science is to analyze and measure. When we are faced with something that can not go on a machine,
we throw our hands up and call it “unscientific!”. Facing our own scientific limitation is frightening. However, in many
cases, where science ends, spirituality begins.
Evolutionary scientists believe that man started out as a single-cell organism about 2 billion years ago. Then for some
unknown reason, we changed into two cells.. then four.. then eight... all the way into the complex multi-billion celled
organisms we are now. How could it be that none of these divisions had a purpose? Who was there to watch it? Since we
now have countless cells in our bodies.. how is it reasonable for these scientists to believe that the end result of all the
evolution we have gone through is to have DNA that is 98% junk?
Behind that first division from one cell to two cells, there must have been something closely related to thought. No, there
wasn't a brain, but there was thought. Since we weren’t there to cause it, there must have been a Universal Mind
orchestrating this division from one to two cells. Most all of our bodily functions are orchestrated by this same Universal
Mind; Breathing, digesting, our heartbeat, blood circulation... and DNA reproduction. These mechanisms and more are also
scientifically unexplainable. Many scientists like to initially throw their text book knowledge at you when you ask why the
Heart beats. But, if you continue to ask them "Why?", "What?", and "How?" questions, you will soon get a “No one
knows”. The focus of this book is not to answer the unanswerable, but to help us merge with the unexplainable.
As scientists, we focus only on what we can see or measure. However, measuring what we can see to help us detect what
we can’t see leads us to better understand the nature of Nature and the universe of The Universe. Yes, 2 billion years ago
we may have started out as single-celled organisms, but that is seen from the visible viewpoint. Alongside the visible, there
was then, is now, and will always be the invisible. Even when the planet was covered with one-celled organisms (visible),
there was still movement, hunger, purpose, and reproduction (invisible).
Thought was there from the beginning, and as we grew and evolved over these last 2 billion years – so, did our DNA. It can
not be that 98% of the effort and thought put into creating us is pointless. Rather, it is more likely that 2% of our DNA is
used for physical/material purposes and 98% for spiritual/thought purposes. .. not junk.
Inside the nucleus of every single blood cell in our body there is thought. The kind of thought that is higher than our own
minds. In order for cells to divide, the double-helix DNA must first unroll, split down the middle, make two perfect doublehelix copies of itself, and then both sides must roll back up again into two new cells. This goes on billions of times a second
in our bodies without our conscious participation. It is one of the wonders in our bodies that happens almost magically, or
at least conducted by some higher intelligence that seems interested in our survival. Every modern-day medical scientist
has had to study the DNA process. Many work by observing it. So since scientists are so close to seeing firsthand the
Universal Mind in action, the biggest wonder of all is how most are still so stubbornly atheist?
Thought connects both of these scientific facts. We live and function within The Universal Mind. The Universal
Consciousness. It was there when we were single-celled organisms and it is here now that we are complex organisms with
DNA. Our body’s involuntary functions confirm that. Our breathing, digesting, cell division, The Krebs cycle, hair growth,
etc… confirm that we are 98% thought and 2% matter. Without the thought behind these processes, the matter would not
work.
Promising steps into Psychosomatic Research help us to see how thought and the body are connected. There is a mindbody link we carry within us. Every indication shows that our thoughts are much stronger than our bodies. Even beyond
our body’s involuntary functions of breathing and nail growth, we can see the influence of thought on our bodies in some of
our sudden expressions. Such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Tears of Joy
Tears of Sadness
Blushing
Stuttering
Butterflies in the stomach
Goosebumps
As for the 10% of our brains, what is now scientifically said is that, at the end of the day, everyone uses just about every
area of their brains – Just about. "Just about" could mean a little difference or "just about" could mean a big difference.
Isn't it better for the media to say “There is 10% of the brain yet to be explored” and that “98% of our DNA is oriented from
thought”? These headlines trigger hope, curiosity, imagination, and wonder.
For me, it is that left over/un-used/”just about”/unexplored area of the brain and mind that I hope this book addresses and,
with some new ideas and techniques, helps us to unlock.
HOW SCIENTIFIC PRAYER BEGAN
With a little research, I can almost calculate to the exact second when these books were inspired. I was sitting home in
Antwerp, Belgium one afternoon watching the Oprah Winfrey Show. The book, "The Secret", was at that time a
phenomenal worldwide success, and Ms. Winfrey had one of its authors as a guest. It seems to me that every ten years, or
so, a new book comes out that claims to help explain the mysteries of Life. Since having moved from Seattle, Washington
to Belgium in 1988, I had seen "The Celestine Prophesies", "The Da Vinci Code", “What The Bleep Do We Know?”, and now
"The Secret" being proclaimed as books that could give us answers to many of our spiritual questions. Of course, there
have been many books before these and there will probably be many books after. As we are in truth spiritual beings, we
naturally want answers to our spiritual questions.
My experience in Europe has been primarily a spiritual one (…but what experience isn't?). Not that I had consciously or
purposely searched for it, rather I had countless “coincidences” led me to the feet of several Spiritual Masters. Up until that
day when I was sitting on my couch watching Oprah, my path had led me to study with many spiritual guides in many
different realms – Both in and out of the body, in and out of the conscious mind, as well as in and out of the
dream state. Well-known and not-so-well-known guides such as Sri Ganapati, Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, Mother Meera,
Amma, Sri Satya Sai Baba, Baba Muktananda, White Bull, Paul Brunton, Sri Nityananda, and The Sastriji all came my way
and helped inspire this book. Not only them, but also The Master Jesus, Buddha, Mahatma Ghandi, Krishna, Lao Tzu, and
Mohammed were contributors to these pages as well. Finally, I must add Wayne Dyer, Dale Carnegie, Marshall Rosenberg,
Masaru Emoto and a slew of articles on psychology that I have read. Having said that, my feeling is that all of them
combined probably account for about 5% of the objective ideas presented in these books. However, working with them all
did prepare me 100% for the subjective ideas presented in these books.
Alongside of my spiritual study, I had also studied Science. I first began to seriously study Science first in The United States
Army. Even before studying in University, science was clearly my thing, as in my Medical Army Reserve Unit, I was awarded
“Soldier of The Month”, “Soldier of The Quarter”, and “Soldier of The Year” (1987). I went on to study Biology at The
University of Washington, and also worked for 4 years as a Lab technician at The University Of Washington Hospital before
moving to Belgium. I ended up graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Medical Laboratory Science in Antwerp, and was
currently working as a Lab Tech again in biochemistry, toxicology, and phlebotomy when I was off work watching Oprah.
In The Army or in any lab I worked in, I made no secret that I was also interested in spirituality. Unlike my colleagues, I was
not an atheist. However, I was not an outspoken fanatic about God…They just knew. In my view, I came to see that both
spirituality and science were clearly connected. Unlike religion and politics or politics and science. I began to think that
science and spirituality naturally added synergy to each other. I saw, and continue to see, science in spirituality, and
spirituality in science. To my mind, a kind of scientific way of thinking was the network behind prayer. I started to sense
that blessings, baptisms, communion, meditating, and rituals were all inspired or conceived because of this scientific way of
thinking about how Divine Consciousness operates. These practices were then developed and evolved through scientific
thought, and then also needed scientific thought by the person practicing it to work. For example, water is water. But,
through scientific thought, water becomes different divine tools when used for baptizing, blessings, communions, and many
rituals. Incense, candles, light, mantras, ash, and feathers are other examples of the scientific thought we put into these
items to make them spiritual.
Sitting on my couch watching Oprah, the author had spoken a lot with Ms. Winfrey about the fundamental principles of
"The Secret". After a while of her asking him questions, I was surprised to see Oprah suddenly taking questions from the
audience - something I had thought she had stopped doing years before. One woman stood up and Ms. Winfrey motioned
to her to ask the author her question. After having listened to the author elaborate for most of the hour about his book,
the woman spoke into the microphone and simply asked "Well.. What do you do?".
To me, both Oprah and the author looked a bit taken aback by the question - "What?", they said. "What do you DO? How
do you do it?", the lady repeated. The simplicity of her question seemed complex. After a few confused moments, the
author finally blurted, "You just BE! You just BE 'The Secret'!". Then the Ms. Winfrey added, "Yes, you just BE! You just be
it!".
Then the camera turned back onto the lady' s confused face. Like her, I was also expecting a better and more detailed
answer. Then the camera went back onto Oprah and the author who repeated "You just BE!". Then without intending it, I
suddenly found myself blurting out - "My God, they don't know!". Those sudden words just sprang out of my mouth and
seemed to come from a deep place within me.
I was enraptured watching the interaction between the three of them. Finally, a camera went back onto the lady, looking
confused and as if she was unsatisfied with the answer she got. It was obvious Ms. Winfrey and the author wanted to move
on to another question. So, she haughtily sat down. I felt really sorry for her. Then again… from that same deep place
within me, I said to myself "I've got to write a book!".
When we say “You just be!”, it is open to interpretation. Of course, I don’t know what was intended behind their answer,
but by the look on the woman’s face it wasn’t satisfactory or helpful. Granted, their “You just be!” could have meant “You
just be yourself”, “You just be one with God”, or “You just be assertive”. But, none of that was said. The only answer was
“You just be”. It could have meant more, however I can only interpret it how I would have heard it, had the answer had
been directed at me. It wasn’t the first time I had heard that response. I have always interpreted it as “Take no active
participation in your own Life” or “Let God do everything for you. Don’t stress about it. Just meditate and pray and that
will be enough”. Sitting on my couch and hearing “You just be!” again made me think of the MANY yogis I have met who
follow this advice and live Lives of quiet desperation. Outside of meditation, just being never really appealed to me. Maybe
I am wrong. But for me, I’d rather err on the side of activity – Actively participating with Divine Consciousness in creating
abundance in my own Life. I have always been more drawn to techniques that help me explore Divinity in my thoughts, in
my body, in every cell of my being, and in my world.
All six steps of scientific prayer
But still, it wasn’t until years after seeing that show that I finally did.
The book had been simmering in the back of my mind for YEARS. What pushed me over the edge and made me finally
begin was at a business meeting I had with my accountant. He had brought his wife, Jan, with him to Ostend, Belgium
where we were meeting in a restaurant. We were going over the finances of one of my projects, which wasn’t doing so
well, and suddenly out of the clear blue sky she said to me “You should write a book”. I was surprised, but I knew exactly
what book I had to write! It was just one of those moments when a person hears something they have to hear. In regards
to getting me to finally sit down and write these pages, Jan was the catalyst.
I had collected a number of spiritual techniques on my journey. Sometimes I would be told of a technique or read about it,
and then take it much further than what the adept had said or insinuated. Sometimes, I just had to put two and two
together. Other times, my combined scientific and spiritual backgrounds would feel like they merged and would inspire me
to create a new prayer technique that I was eager to test out. The Pentacle of Akasha, The Pentacle of Virtues, The Three
Paths of Work, The Number 12, Triplicity Prayer, The Fire of Abundance, and The “Tao-Om” mantras are some examples.
The process of writing this book forced me to organize these techniques into a simple and effective way – Namely, The
Window Metaphor. Having said that, none of the Six Steps of Scientific Prayer are invented. They are more like profoundly
enhanced or synergistically combined aspects of what we already know. They are new ways of awakening our inner power.
The last and, BY FAR, the most important aspect of writing this book is that I would not have written one word of it if none
of it had worked in my own Life. To me, that was essential. “How is anybody going to believe me if it didn’t work for
myself?”, I thought. So, having gathered my notes and written an outline, I started to practice the Six Steps of Scientific
Prayer. I tried manifesting money… and then it worked! I thought, “Well, that could be a fluke!”; So, I tried it again… and it
worked again! I would show my fiancé, colleagues, friends, and business partners this money I was getting or seeing
manifested… and we all were surprised. Only the very closet to me would I tell that I thought it was because of The
Scientific Prayer I was practicing everyday. This disgruntled woman on the Oprah show and her “Well…What do you DO?”
question always came to my thoughts. I could tell her a LOT of things to do!
The question of how we can best use our activities is probably the most important in our lives. To me, the lady above was
asking this. What I heard her saying to the author was “What activities can I fill my Life with to enrich it spiritually and
abundantly?”. If we have a karmic link to a True Spiritual Master, then it becomes easier for us to find some activities that
will better our minds, our actions, and our lives. It is a beautiful time in our important learning process. A time where we
learn and are given so much - even if that master is no longer in the body. Our desire and thirst for spiritual knowledge is
what helps us to grow.
But... One day... we will have to leave that Spiritual Master. Our learning process is not complete until we can walk on our
own, with trust in our link to The Godhead. The Absolute. Divine Consciousness. The last mile on our spiritual journey we
will have to walk alone.
This is a courageous, but unavoidable, step in our spiritual evolution. True Masters talk about it... and True Disciples hear it.
Actually, this step comes to you - You don't go to it. Yes, it is unavoidable… but not to be rushed into. At the perfect time,
beyond our conscious minds, Divinity will put on your path the people and situations that will guide you to take that step.
And you being you, you will decide if the time is right to take it. But, you being you… you will!
When we feel strong enough to leave our Spiritual guides and trust in the inspired guidance of God alone, all we will have
are the thoughts, karma, activities, tools, and techniques we have accumulated up to that point. But for The Universal
Mind, knowing our past, present, and future better than we know ourselves, what we have accumulated will be enough to
face any challenge or obstacle that will come our way. The all-knowing Universe will know that we are well-equipped and
will not fall back. The Divine Love we have evoked from using our tools has prepared us. Our guides and teachers have
trained us well in the arts of patience, perseverance, meditation, effort, prayer, and our aspirations for Oneness with
Divinity. Their outer impulses are no longer necessary. Our tools and techniques are honed and sharpened enough to
continue on our path. And now, walking forward, we will evolve much higher than we ever have before.
TRUE WEALTH
This book uses money as a symbol to stimulate the consciousness of wealth and wonder within and around us. Wonder will
come first. Wealth will come second. “Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and all the rest will be added upon to you”.
Why money? Because there are very few symbols that we have that we have put more meaning, ideas, and power into as
money. Like sex, money and wealth can help stimulate our spirituality if seen in the right context. Nothing in our world is
“bad” if divinity is seen within it. Throughout the ages, we have given money multiple meanings – both consciously and
subconsciously. Some of its meanings are tied to power, status, health, wealth, comfort, prestige, opportunity, grace, sex,
blessings, fame, prosperity, and mental well-being. That’s quite a symbol! Outside of Divinity and Nature, it is hard to think
of something more intrinsic to our world than money. No wonder we all stress about it.
The World’s Weathy
Let's look at those who have money and where they got it. How did most of the world’s wealthy become wealthy?
Inheritance, marriage or gift. Wealth by association to a parent, relative, partner or friend. Wealth attained
through an alliance to someone else. By extension, people born into royalty and aristocracy.
Business success. Business owner(s) who took a courageous step, were in the right place/right time, worked
hard, and had tremendous luck. By extension, high-salaried managers or executives working for corporations.
"Black money", kick-backs, bribes, and money "under-the-table" are also sometimes involved businessmen
accumulating wealth. PhD's, Ivy league graduates, and academic professors may sometimes be included in this
group.

Real estate success. Wealth attained through increased property value, rent, sales, and new acquisitions.
A new idea took off. Google, Facebook, and Twitter are some of the most recent examples. Seeing a business
opportunity that no one else sees, taking a calculated risk, and putting your resources (Meaning your time, effort,
connections, and money) into making it succeed. By extension, products that we buy today that have become
brands.

Art or Talent. Includes Singers, Actors, Writers, Directors, Television hosts, Designers, Athletes, etc.. who
were lucky and talented. They made a product or became a product and then exposed it to people in their
industry who were in the position to exploit them or it. By extension, Agents, Managers, Publishers, and
Producers who’ve gotten lucky by representing a star, team, or hit.
The Lottery. By chance , someone was inspired to buy a lottery ticket or choose the lucky numbers that came
up during a certain draw in the area they live. By extension, Gamblers, On-line Poker players, Slot machines
players, and jackpot winners. With chance and luck being the primary factors, none of these outcomes do we
have control over. Wealth accumulated from The Stock Market is also considered a lottery. However, compared
to lottery winners, people playing the stock market might have acquired slightly more information before betting
their money. People finding, inheriting, or accidently buying a "lost treasure", art piece, or artifact and then
selling it might also sometimes be included in this group.
Crime. Drug Dealers who are willing to risk imprisonment and mental health for wealth (not advised).
extension, gun dealers, pirates, money laundering, and human traffickers.

And, by
Political corruption. Many foreign and domestic leaders have used their political positions to accumulate
wealth through bribes, kick-backs, and money "under-the-table".
There you have it. Eight of the major ways people on Earth get rich. Compared to the billions of us on this planet, it’s kind
of pitiful, if you think about it. Putting all 8 of these together, we probably get only 1% of the world’s total population. But,
what about the rest of us? Are we destined to live middle class or in poverty because we did not inherit money, aren't a
famous singer, or didn't choose the right lottery numbers? And shouldn't we also consider how these wealthy REALLY feel?
Why are so many of them seeking psychological help? Why do many of them feel guilty and “un-worthy” of their money
and success? Why do they have addictions? Why do they die from addiction? Why are their marriages unhappy? Why are
their children unhappy? Where, then, is True Wealth? Shouldn’t True Wealth also contain joy and limitless wonder?
We might be tempted to compare our bank accounts to those we believe have it better than we do. Doing this, we focus on
the many status symbols of money. However, by simply being alive, on Earth, and in human form, can we learn to go
beyond these status symbols to tap into the Source of True Wealth and Limitless wonder.
Improving Your Financial Situation
When looking at your financial situation, try thinking of it like a credit rating company would. Take stock of your finances as
if you were Standard & Poors or Moody’s doing a grading on yourself. Add a “Moody’s financial grade" to your financial
situation, your way of Life, and especially to your thinking. We often hear that a country has been downgraded or
upgraded. What Standard & Poors or Moody's look for in these countries are three main factors: It's Savings, it's Debt, and
it's Growth prospects. Look at yourself like a country and apply these measurable factors to your finances and to the way
you think about money:
1.
What is your current debt? – What is your plan to get out of it?
2.
What do you have saved? What is your savings plan? – How do you plan to put money on the side? How do
you plan to keep it? What is your Investment portfolio?
3.
What are your growth prospects? – What is the “potentiality for profit” in your side businesses? What is the
potentiality for profit in your talents and projects?
As for the first factor, your debt, this primarily focuses on your Past. The habits, actions, and thought patterns concerning
money that have gotten you into the financial situation you are now in. If we just spent our money haphazardly then it is
probably easy to see why we are in debt now. But other factors could have contributed to our debt; if we tried to build a
business and it failed, if we dropped out of an expensive college, if we or a family member got sick, if we got fired from our
jobs, outsourcing, etc.. Whatever it was, this is where we are now. Our starting point. The place we are trying to climb
ourselves out of.
The second factor, your savings, primarily focuses on your Present. Your current habits, actions, and thought patterns that
you are using to prepare for your future and peace of mind. As with work, money in the bank helps us in our self actualization. The nest egg we have built gives us peace of mind, freedom, independence, and a feeling of security. A
peaceful heart helps us infinitely more in our quest than a desperate one. But still, the habits, actions, and thoughts you
have are old ones. They have been with you a long time. Replacing them with new and improved ones might be
encountered with resistance from your fears and ego. Just tell those fears and your ego "Look at where you've gotten us!
So, shut up and calm down! I'm going to try some new thoughts and some new habits from now on. I don't know where it's
going to take us, but it must be better than where you have taken me!".
Oftentimes your Debt and your Savings are interconnected. Some examples are: if we have no savings, we will often go into
greater debt by asking loans or taking cash advances on our credit cards. Or... by falsely thinking that we have some savings
in the bank (say 10,000$ making 2% interest) but, at the same time, carrying 40,000$ in credit card debt (accruing 30%
interest! ) -and still we continue to charge our credit cards under the false belief we have something saved. Or... once we
get a chance to save some unexpected money (say, 1000$), we suddenly see a 1500$ dress, antique, or appliance we HAVE
to buy. Or.. if we do get a raise or a better paying job, we immediately spend more according to this higher financial
level...etc...
Even though we are earning more, spending more, and have the possibility of saving more, we still feel these sudden and
impulsive pangs of lack. These sudden pangs push us to buy now, even though we know it would be better to put that
money on the side for something later. The adrenaline rush we get from draining our bank accounts and maxing out our
credit cards is hard to resist! It's thrilling and seductive. Ego and vanity are part of it, yes...But what are these impulsive
pangs REALLY? And why does beauty and surplus money, or even beauty and the idea we have some surplus money,
trigger them?
We forget that the undisciplined mind (and even the disciplined mind!) will instantly want to fill a void. If we suddenly make
200$ a month more, we will spend 200$ a month more. But, why? Our stomachs have not gotten bigger nor has our
electricity bill gone higher. So why even though our situation has not changed, do we still stay in debt? It can only be
because of a change in our Minds. What looks on the surface like sudden extra money has, to our fundamentally abundant
mind, created a vacuum to be filled. We get our bonus check on Friday and by Sunday we have spent it. We've bought a
beautiful new suit, a surprise new bike for our daughter, and took ourselves out to lunch at that upscale restaurant we've
been wanting to go to. We love to treat ourselves. We love to treat others. In many ways, this also shows that we really are
abundant inside. The beauty that we see and the money that we've received trigger a lot of power and joy in our mind. In
this state, we need a quick fix to fill that vacuum. We are not really ourselves... or are we?
It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the financial after-effects. These situations, and more, force us to eventually ask
ourselves "Why can I never get out of debt!?". That "I can never get out of debt"-mantra is the cherry on the cake. We TELL
this to our SELVES... and we believe it. This then awaken the entities and situations compatible to this belief. They in turn
create more vacuums that will need a quick fix. To keep us impoverished, our "I can never get out of debt"-minds will
attract the entities, then the people, bills, and situations to us to spend any surplus cash we have. In that void, we feel a
buzz when we have some surplus cash, and we want that buzz to quickly go away. To fill that void and to quiet that buzz,
we can at least try saying "Thank you, Universe for this extra money. I am grateful! Help me look for ways where it can
multiply and grow". Repeating this for a few minutes fills that vacuum and makes us more mindful and watchful.
As humans, we are both Transmitters and Receptors. We are all able to send out telepathic information into an intelligent,
thinking Universe and are able to receive information from our same intelligent, thinking Universe. But, it doesn't always
have to be bad signals and distortion that we transmit and receive. We can change the radio station. We can sharpen our
tuning. There are two elements that exist between ourselves as a transmitter and ourselves as a receptor - our thoughts
and our feelings. Thoughts and feelings are the two elements that exist between Man/below and The Universe/above. At
times, we can even synthesize thoughts and feelings down to one element - words. Habitually changing our thoughts, our
feelings, and our words to higher, abundant, and more divine ones, instantly changes the radio station. We change our
frequency, and become better transmitters and receptors.
Still.. this is hard for many to accept. Since we trust that Divinity is intelligent and loving, we logically believe that "God
KNOWS that I don't want to be poor and to suffer. I shouldn't have to tell him". Telling him this seems as if we are either
begging or asking too much. We don't feel we have the right to want more from our Lives, so it's just better that we suffer.
Yes, God and his council know that we are poor and feeling lack. But, they also know that that is not our true nature. We
have not yet put into practice the meaning of what it is to be a Child of our abundant Divine Consciousness. But, maybe this
temporary lack we are feeling is a test to CLAIM our true inheritance as a Child of The Universe and everything within it? To
break out of those limited, conditioned thoughts we were taught to be the Norm. How else, but through poverty and
suffering, would we come to that realization? The realization that there is an intelligent, abundant Life force within and
around us that can lift us out of our pain. "The Dark Night of The Soul" is an important period before stepping into the
Light. With Scientific Prayer, we are not telling, asking, or begging at God's door. Rather, we are affirming, remembering,
and actualizing who we are within. Again... You are still alive, on Earth, and in human form... so there is still time for you to
change your thoughts and do many great things!
Standard & Poors and Moody's know that to accumulate a savings and to take steps to get out of debt are not enough to
become financially healthy. This is where the third factor comes in - your Growth Prospects. Your potentiality for profit.
This factor primarily focuses on your Future. Everything about you changes when your Savings and your Growth prospects
(your present and your future) are combined. Your thoughts, your habits, your outlook on life, and your expectations
improve enormously. With a viable growth prospect, your creative resources are awakened. Your inspiration gets flowing
and you start fighting to create a better future for yourself and your loved ones. Your mind and life are in acceleration, and
your actions become dynamic.
What worries most people about Growth Prospects is that taking risks with our money and making sacrifices seem to
always involved. However, that is not always the case. Many Growth Prospects involve minimal risks, minimal sacrifice,
and a minimal amount of our money. For example:
•
•
•
•
•
Selling products on commission.
Writing books, articles, novels. Also included is ghostwriting for someone else.
Designing new products and presenting them to interested parties.
Franchising.
Actively promoting your own product or company.
With all Growth Prospects, the biggest investment will be your Time. Growth, Time, The Future, sacrifices, and risks are
often interconnected. How can you build a dramatically brighter future without taking some risks or making a few
sacrifices? Growth prospects take a lot of time and energy. But, most of us are not willing to invest either. We would
rather hang out with our friends at the bar and play online games. As humans, we want everything now without any effort.
However, we should know that any time we spend working on our Growth Prospects, we are automatically propelled into
the Top 5% of achievers. We instantly become goal-setters and goal-achievers.
95 – 97% of us are impatient, and not in the habit of seeing the time and resources we are sacrificing as a period of
incubation. A caterpillar does not become a butterfly overnight. An incubation period that is extremely active... and
exponentially more so if you are practicing scientific prayer. Fascinating time-lapse videos can be found of bees and
caterpillars undergoing immense changes within their bodies during incubation inside a honeycomb or chrysalis.
As for your risks, if you are practicing techniques to enrich your mind and your spirit, your risks will be different than for
someone who is not. All risks have elements of thrill-seeking and calculation involved. But, with techniques involved in
Scientific Prayer, you will have higher elements intertwined with the risks you are inspired to take. As you apply the
principles in this book, it help you see the favorable possibilities in your risks. Still, sometimes you won't be able to see
what might come, you will only have to trust. If something feels risky, but sounds reasonable and you have given it some
thought, you might just have to trust your gut and go for it. Your body has been there every step of the way and has taken
all of the information in. So, your gut feeling is one way your body is advising you and telling you about the information it
has stored up until now. If it's not going to bankrupt you, do it and see what happens! At least, you will learn a great deal!
Country or Colony?
The metaphor of looking at our financial situation as a country is a useful one. Using the system that Moody's and Standard
& Poors rates countries by their debt, savings, and growth prospects can help us re-examine and improve our own financial
situations. However, for most of the world it is not that simple. Most of the world have a fourth factor that is keeping them
from financial prosperity. For the majority of the world's working class, they feel a deep obligation to send money home.
Parents, families, and sometimes whole villages living in another country are sent money from their sons and daughters
working at minimum wage jobs in the West. International wire transfer companies survive on this part of the economy.
Then if the son or daughter gets a raise, a better paying job, or starts a business, suddenly there are more people back
home who need their financial help. The amount of money sent each day is so enormous that the entire GDP of any country
would drop a few percentage points if people stopped sending money back to their families and villages. This fourth factor
does not classify as a debt, in the usual sense of the term. It is more of a self-imposed obligation. It is instigated by guilt,
vanity, and selfishness, where the son or daughter struggling to survive in the West is made to feel guilty, vain, selfish, and
in debt to someone back in the village.
Looking back on human history, we see that The American Revolution and The French Revolution were when people
rejected unfairness and an outdated, colonial mentality of taxation. Sending money, in the form of high and unfair taxes, to
the King, Queen, and Royal court while you are suffering and barely surviving initiated these uprisings. It is further
compounded when the system you find yourself living in has no possibility for personal growth. Many other countries also
had revolutions, namely England, China, and Germany. These revolutionists want independence and freedom. Today, both
America and France are solvent countries. Their struggles against an unfair system is what lead them to the independence
they enjoy now. What would America look like today if it were sending England trillions of it's profits each and every year?
What would France look like today if the working class and Bourgeois, who never had the opportunities Lords had from
birth, were still sending taxes to a Versailles that was overspending and operating the country in the red?
The object of this chapter is not to pass judgment, but just to explore the real situation that most of the working class of the
world lives in. An unhealthy situation that entraps both the giver and the receiver and makes it much more difficult for
either to get out of their own financial misery. Yes, it is great when a child is financially able to support his or her family
members. However, each person feels better when the money is sent in the spirit of freedom and love. The thoughts
attached to that money being wired through Western Union are totally different if it sent in this way. The money is more
likely to flourish and multiply. But when it is an enforced obligation, expected, and done under pressure, then it can not
lead to independence for either the child or the family member. That money is spent ten times over even before it arrives.
These situations start from guilt and enforced obligation, and can lead to dependence and dissatisfaction on both sides.
The object of this chapter, and of this book, is to help us experience the Divine Abundance that we were all born with. No
matter what financial situation we are born into, just by being alive, on Earth, and in human form were we born with a
direct connection to True Wealth. The problem is not that you live in the ghetto, the problem is if your mind is in the
gutter. By “gutter”, it is meant that your thoughts are only on lack and dependency instead of abundance and growth.
“The ghetto” is also a relative term. The real ghetto is when you are surrounded by people who only focus on lack and
failure, forgetting also their own Divinity and never taking any steps towards it. The saddest situation for any of us is if we
have both – The Ghetto and The Gutter. Would it be better to live in a palace with your mind in the gutter? There are
countless stories of people who made it out of the ghetto. Their first step was to take their minds out of the gutter. If your
thoughts are of the world being full of shit, then you will only see a shitty world.
This book is not about getting you to dream about a future you will never attain. This book is not about self-brainwashing.
It is about helping us look at the world and Universe we truly live in and are intrinsically a part of. It is about facing a deeper
reality than whatever our living conditions may be.
So, in regards to our personal financial situation, we operate either as a country (debt, savings, and growth prospects) or as
a colony (debt, savings, growth prospects, and enforced obligation). In a marriage or relationship, we can either be two
countries, where financial solvency and freedom have the highest possibility for growth. One country and one colony,
where there is a moderate chance for financial solvency and freedom. Or in a two colony marriage or relationship, where
financial independence has a lower chance of solvency and freedom.
Above all, the best situation we have to get us out of debt and to increase our savings is something absolutely free - our
new thoughts and actions. Living in our western world, we have many opportunities available to us. In the West, our
financial opportunities are easier to come by. The systems we live in and the opportunities we have in the West were
produced by thoughts and actions of our European ancestors and American forefathers. Ideologies that motivated them to
improve their environment. Ideologies that inspired them to rise up and overcome unfairness. Having said that, people in
The East are quickly catching on and catching up! New ideologies are sprouting up everywhere, creating spiritual tidal
waves in The Middle East, Russia, and China, for example.
The first and most important thing we need to do is to change our thoughts and feelings of lack and poverty to ones that
are abundant and in alignment with who we universally are within and without. With our new thoughts, we attract new
prospects to ourselves for growth. We accelerate our steps out of poverty by practicing scientific prayer and at the same
time working on one or more of our growth prospects.
One last word about growth prospects... Once you start one, and get it up and running, you will begin seeing more and
bigger opportunities popping up around you. The mind expands as Love expands. Once that first prospect starts generating
an income for you, it has opened your vision and broken your fears. It is a common saying among millionaires that "The first
million is the hardest". The same can be said for growth prospects. The first one takes you across the proverbial river.
Because of it, you have reached "the other side" and see that it was not as scary as you thought it would be. The hardest
thing about it was to make a daily "To-do list" and then do at least one thing every day that made a difference. Most people
that have become wealthy, in part, have the habit of making themselves daily "To-do lists. What they are in fact doing is
practicing the Sixth Step of Scientific Prayer. That is one mental difference between many of the rich and most of the poor.
The rich hear more one-on-one stories of those who paid a price in advance for something that person believed in and
became successful. The rich also feel that they have the resources to also take some of the same risks and cross that
proverbial river, if they choose to. So now that you have crossed that river, your eyes are more opened to other potential
gold nuggets lying around you. You now have more resources, more strength, and are now more willing to pick up more
gold nuggets up and shine them off.
Compare the person who is impatient, greedy, and too afraid to sacrifice for their own financial future to someone who saw
an opportunity, faced their fears, and now finally has their first successful growth prospect up and running. One person is
still standing on this side of the river, bitter and negative, while the other has loaded their ship and has crossed to the other
side. Once you get that first prospect started, there will probably be many other ideas you have between the first one and
the second one, but the second one will come easier... and then the third... and the fourth... With Scientific Prayer, you not
only use your physical hands to build your future, but also the many tools found in your Spiritual Tool Box. This is when you
experience a Life full of Abundance. The Wheels of Fortune are turning for you. You, yourself, have put your hands on that
Wheel and have pulled it down. Work begets work and money begets money. So, just start one growth prospect. It might
not make you a millionaire yet... but you will be happily living in abundance along the way.
Our Money Relationships
As you probably have seen by now, the Six Steps of Scientific Prayer focus a lot on techniques involving our Thoughts and
Actions. However, to be more exact, these techniques focus on our Thoughts, FEELINGS, and Actions. These three are the
links between the smaller, physical body you and the larger Universally Divine YOU. There are few greater teachers
available, showing us the impact of our thoughts, feelings, and actions on our lives, than our relationship with money.
We all have a relationship with money - from the abject poor to the super-rich. The relationship we have built with it is very
intimate, and at times can feel like a reliable friend or an abusive partner. But, these two are not the only kinds of
"relationships" we can feel towards and from our Sources of Income. Take a look at the list below:
Reliable friend

Whether poor, rich, or middle-class, it almost feels like our relationship with money is with another person, rather than
with an inanimate object. However, it is us that have created the form these relationships have taken through our own
thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Try to remember the thoughts you had when you began materializing that particular source of income. For example, in
school were you unmotivated to become a graphic designer, so that you now feel the money you earn from it is like a
Dysfunctional Sibling? Is it because you love cooking and entertaining that your catering business feels like a Best Friend? Or
does the80,000 dollars you inherit each year from your Grandmother's Trust Fund feel like a Boring Date?...
The above list goes on and on.. But again, the point to remember is that none of the items pertain to a real person. These,
rather, are some of the many types of thought-feelings-relationships we have unconsciously built up between ourselves and
our money and sources of income.
The thought-relationship we have built with our money started early - Namely, in our childhoods. Think about children who
are given a weekly allowance and have come to expect it. Think about children who work at a young age doing paper
routes, babysitting, or having summer jobs. Think about children who are expected to work in the family business. Think
about children who are forced to beg. Think about children who are forced to steal. Think about children who get nothing
at all. These are our first interactions with money and from what we build thoughts on in regards to how we can generate
it. At 12 years old, we may not yet be able to understand what Divine Abundance is, but we can surely understand when
money is our hands and what we can do with it! Take some time to think about how you got money as an adolescent and
what you felt about it and its possibilities. Like with sex, psychologists tell us that what we’ve experienced as children
follow us into our adulthood more than we realize.
The thoughts we’ve built not only pertain to how we think about our money, but also about how our money might
bethinking about us!.. And relating to us. The above list reminds us of the numerous ways we unconsciously interact with
money as we are manifesting it. From the financial experiences we had in our childhood and from the values of the people
who raised us, the instant we start going to school, getting a job, or starting a new business, we are also thinking about how
we will relate to the money we will be generating. Do we want this coming money to be our “Best Friend”, our “Ego
Stroker”, or a “Hidden Affair”? These thoughts motivate us and are with us step-by-step as we take our college exams, go
on job interviews, work, write our business plans… or even if we end up being thieves! We unconsciously act in the ways
we will relate to the money we will earn. This has nothing to do with the amount, this has only to do with the relationship.
From our eventual success, we are constantly imprinting a money-thought relationship in our minds.
Take a day to write down each one of your sources of income and “the relationship” you feel you are having with it now.
For example, "The money I get from my day job feels like a Vulnerable Baby. The money I get from doing overtime feels like
my Shopping Buddy. And the money I get from helping out once a month at my brother's bakery feels like my Best Friend".
Write your own 2 or 3 word description of the relationship you feel if it is not in the chart above.
Even though we have these kinds of thoughts and feelings with our money, all of them were learned. Irrespective of the
amount of money we have in the bank, we weren’t born with any of these thoughts or though-patterns. Even people who
were born into rich families had to learn to think of money in their own intimate way. That is why some rich people think of
their money as a “Generous Grandparent”, while others may think of it as a “Party Pooper” or “Status Symbol”. Born into
poor families, we might think of money as “The Promise Maker” or “Elusive Playmate”. While the middle-class might think
of it as a “Reliable friend” or “A growing child you nurture”.
Whatever was learned can be un-learned and re-programmed. With a growth prospect we have a chance to start fresh. To
be more conscious of how we are habitually thinking about money as we are manifesting it. A growth prospect is
something we create to be a new source of income. To help us build a brighter future. It is up to us to consciously put
positive and abundant thoughts into it. From the beginning, it can’t hurt to start calling your new growth prospect “My
Beautiful Mistress”, “My Reliable Friend”, "My Bountiful Benefactor", or “My Sugar Daddy”. Why not?... If that’s what you
hope it will be. At the very least, repeating or thinking this while you work will give you tremendous energy!
The Three Paths Of Money
Because of global trade, we have built a money monster that is felt in every corner of our world. What’s more, because it is
so intimate, we have attached a lot of “meanings” to money. Social status, freedom, available choices, spiritual well-being,
material wealth, abundance, opportunity, success, failure, mental health, well-beingness, and much more… are all attached
to money. But, what is money and where does it come from? Most people say "Money is paper, gold, silver, and coins that
you get from a bank and you use to buy things". True, to a point. These are the solidified manifestations of the affluent
possibilities we have created for ourselves. When we go to school, start a business, or work at a job, these create affluence
or the potentiality of affluence. As for what we believe we are worthy of, that's a different story. We can dream that we
have more. We can have an idea that could bring us more. And we can believe that we are worth more. Both rich and
poor believe they are worthy of more. But it is what we have created, that reflects more correctly the available money we
have.
So yes, the money we have in our bank accounts is used to buy possessions... but what can buy wealth? Many people
would say "A lot more money!". Then if it is just a matter of having a lot more money, how do you go from having a
sufficient amount of money to wealth? After a moment, most people would say "Hard Work", "Doing something you Love",
"Saving your money", or "Luck!". Of these answers, Luck is the most decisive factor. However, Luck means "It's out of our
hands. We have no control over it". We instinctively know that the decision to grant us “luck” is made above our heads. To
influence this decision is what we hope for when we pray. Even doing something we love is a form of prayer. By doing
something we love, we hope the decision-makers above will look kindly upon us and grant us luck. We hope that love,
talent, and work are interconnected with money, luck, and wealth. All are all a part of the abundant Universe we live in.
However, most of us forget that we are Children of The Universal Mind. Too often, most of us sit back and hope that luck
will bless us with little or no effort on our parts. We believe our half-hearted, minimal efforts should be rewarded with
abundance and wealth. We read articles on “The 3 Things I’ve Learned About Money” or “How I Got Rich” articles from
millionaires and billionaires, without remembering that these men and women are examples of people who found their
Abundant Hotspots early in Life.
But, when we actively practice being active components within The Universal Mind, we realize that we can use our
thoughts and actions to help influence some of the heavenly decisions that are made about our lives. In doing so, these
decisions will change profoundly. The luck granted you in this state of consciousness will not only benefit yourself and your
destiny, but also many others and theirs. If we were not born into abundance or to have found it early in Life, we have to
do it through our conscious efforts in linking to the Source of Cosmic Energy and True Wealth.
Spiritualists describe money as a symbol. But what did that symbol reflect from to manifest itself as paper, coins, silver, and
gold? And why did it do it so many times for one particular person and so few times for someone else? We can think of
many reasons, but the primary one had to be that person's own thoughts and actions. However, for this I am not talking
about people who were born into wealthy families. These people are living off the efforts of a parent or ancestor who had
high intellect, passion, and drive. We should better examine and learn from those people who started from nothing. Those
who created abundance from nothing more than their thoughts, dreams, imagination, and actions. Children and
descendants of these people may have the benefit of more quickly identifying with an example of someone who was so
passionate and determined. Photographs, portraits, and personal stories of these family ancestors can give their
descendants a head start. But, we ALL can align our thoughts to the ultimate Source of power and creativity. Thought and
action are two of our highest powers.
Let's take for example two brothers that are each given a 50,000$ inheritance after their father dies. One brother loses all
of the money. But the other brother uses it to become a millionaire. What was the difference between them? You might
say luck, chance, and opportunity. But, behind every circumstance for luck, chance, or opportunity there was still thought
and action. It's safe to say that each brother had very different thoughts and plans once that money landed in their bank
accounts. Actually, their thoughts about wealth originated long before the father even died. Analyze now what you would
think, how you would feel and act, and what you would do if you were to suddenly be given 50,000$. Are you the type that
would be spending your money on cars, sex, parties, travelling, drugs, feeling careless and happy-go-lucky? Or are you the
type who would invest it wisely and variously with the intention of having it grow, who would modestly enjoy using it, and
who would think twice before spending it too quickly? One of these ways surely leads to poverty and the other way COULD
lead to wealth. The Path to Poverty is very easy, painless, and happy-go-lucky... but the destination you will reach is full of
suffering and imbalance. The Path to Wealth is full of sacrifices.... but the destination you’ll reach is easier, more balanced,
and more pain-free.
The Path to Poverty is crowded with people. The Path to Wealth more sparse. But, there is a third path. A path that
neither the Path to Poverty or the Path to Wealth guarantees. Guarantees of peace, pure joy, and contentment. The Path
of Wealth does not guarantee happiness. We all know men and women who have more than we do, but who talk only of
the injustices they see in the world. They have money but spend their time focusing on the stupidity of our youth, the
vileness of other religions, the corruption of our governments, and the misery they see around us. So even though they
have a lot of financial resources, they have few spiritual resources. Money is not making them happy. Rather, they feel
anger and frustration more than they do happiness and joy. They seem to have a very dark outlook for the future of the
world because of what they see on TV and read in the Newspapers. But, change the subject to money and they suddenly
light up! Yes, it seems they might have a sensitivity of how to generate money for themselves.... but, are they really
wealthy? Is that really wealth that they have generated or have they generated all this money to fill a huge inner void?
Without thinking too hard, we could easily name ten people who would love to have the money they make each month.
They have a lot of money, but they are still unhappy. A bottomless pit is quite different than unlimited consciousness.
Your being around these frustrated people will cause an uncomfortable buzz within them, namely because of the peaceful
energy you emanate. Your actions, your responses, your humor, and your non-competitiveness might make them uneasy in
the beginning. Especially if you are in regular contact with them, like at work or school. All they will have to tell themselves
at this point is “Well, I’m richer than she is!” - or more popular, smarter, prettier, better dressed, higher position, bigger
house, nicer car, etc... It's sad, but this is all they have to hang on to! And as you keep practicing scientific prayer and they
see the growth you are inspiring around you, it will be even more confusing to them! Their old tricks don't work so well on
you as they do on others. Their tricks seem to boomerang back in their face. One word or action from you seems to be a
potent antidote to their selfishness and negativity.
However, many people are on this road to wealth through egotism. What we hope to get from financial wealth is a feeling
of satiation. Where all of our worries, problems, and cares can easily be solved with the right dollar amount. Yet, there have
only been a very small handful of human beings who have ever achieved this financial point. What about the rest of us?
Can this feeling of satiation only be achieved if you have 10,984,616,357 dollars in your bank account? There has to be a
way to satiate the mind, spirit, and Soul with ZERO dollars in your bank account.
Compare someone with 10 dollars in their bank account who is practicing her ability to tap into Divine consciousness with
someone with 10 million dollars in their bank account who is burned-out, depressed, divorced, lonely, hating the world,
drinks two bottles of bourbon by dinnertime, and takes 20 pills a day against panic attacks and high blood pressure.
Where we are today is directly linked to the thoughts and actions we have had in the past. But, as spirits, that does not only
mean our money. It means all the parts of us - where we are today spiritually, emotionally, mentally, financially, and
career-wise are link to the thoughts and actions we have had in the past. Money is just a tool that we use in very few of our
many actions. On any day, we all do several times more actions without money than with it. That is not to say it is
unimportant, we should just see it in perspective. Money is actually a neutral object until we put thought and action into it.
Because as for money itself, it will just sit in the bank until you do something with it. More correctly, money in your
mattress or piggy bank will just sit there until you do something with it. Our banks ARE doing something with our money.
They are investing it and collecting interest. Money needs an action and a purpose for us to feel that it was useful.
In regards to the Path of Poverty or the Path of Wealth, our willingness to have sacrificed is key to which path we are on.
But, there is a path that is higher and easier than the Path of Poverty or the Path of Wealth. That is the Path of Abundance.
On the Path of Abundance, we affirm our oneness with the Source of ALL Wealth. We look behind the manifested objects of
gold, silver, stocks, and possessions to reconnect to where they all came from. To jump from the Path of Poverty to the Path
of Wealth, we must be willing to sacrifice our time, money, effort, and energy. We must be willing to "Pay the price in
advance" and trust in our calculated risks to better our future. To jump from the Path of Wealth to the Path of Abundance,
we must attune our thoughts to Divine Consciousness - The Source of True Wealth. Doing this daily, our actions follow suit.
And of course, we can always jump from the Path of Poverty to the Path of Abundance. How could connecting to your True
Wealth cause you depression, alcoholism, and panic attacks? All three paths form a Trinity - Poverty/Wealth/Abundance.
With patience, thought, and action, we gain wealth consciousness via the Path of Abundance. We attract what we need
now and lay the foundations for what we will have in the future. Through our thoughts, we empower and inspire ourselves
and come into oneness with the abundance of our Divine Consciousness.
Remember what you are... where you are... and what you are becoming. You are becoming an active and abundant
component within The Universal Mind! Tools that you will soon learn like "The Fire Of Abundance", "The Pentacle of
Akasha", "The Red-Green-Violet Battery", and "The Alchemic State" were probably never consciously used by the brother in
the example above who became a millionaire. But, you will learn about all of these techniques and more. You will be able to
use them consciously. All of these tools awaken wealth consciousness in your mind and in your life. All of them bring energy
and light into your being. More than that...These tools also bring happiness, peace of mind, and contentment. Why?
Because by taking steps closer to The Universal Mind that is within and around us, we take steps closer to what is our
natural state – abundance and joy.
Lastly, we not only have a physical bank account, we also have a spiritual bank account. But what does investing in this
spiritual bank account generate for us? Why should we do it? What would investing in our spiritual reserves bring us? One
thing it does is that doing this increases our options. It opens our minds. It expands our possibilities. We get a return on
our investment, because we are ready and open for new opportunities as they arise. Joy, peace, and contentment fill our
reserves. As humans, we all want to be around others who we feel resonate health and abundance - whether in our jobs,
our relationships, or in our neighborhoods. At the very least, we strive to be close to this "Good Energy". But when we
know how to fill our own spiritual reserves, we emanate Light. We are able to fill these vaults from floor to ceiling and from
wall to wall. In our physical bank accounts, we fill with gold. In our spiritual bank accounts, we fill with golden light. The
more we practice, the more we see others imperceptibly feeling the happiness and abundance coming from our auras
through our actions and words. And because our reserves are so filled with wealth, golden light, and treasures we naturally
become magnets for opportunities and possibilities. Even to the extent that Divinity will sometimes re-locate us to a new
town or country where even more wealth and opportunity await us.
Exercises and experiments:
•
Analyze what you would think, how you would feel and act, and what you would do if you were to suddenly be
given 50,000$. When we see this amount, we all say "Wow, Great!". Even to a billionaire, a 50,000$ gift is a lot of
money. But wait!... 50,000$ is still not enough to buy a house. It's still not enough to even buy an apartment. It's
even not enough to quit your job. It might be enough to renovate a part of your home... But, then what? It will be
enough to buy a new car and go on a trip...But, then what? It might be enough to invest in some hot Stock Market
tip...But, then what? Are you willing to wait years for your dividend? And what if your assumptions about that
Stock Market tip are wrong?... Then what? Where can you put that money where it will multiply and grow? Or
maybe you'd prefer to party it all away?...And then what? Write down everything you would do with 50,000$.
Just for yourself, write out where you would spend or invest every penny of it. Also write down everyone you
would tell you had it.
•
As was said earlier, through our thoughts we have all built a relationship with our money and sources of income.
It can seem like a "Reliable Friend" or an "Abusive Partner". This is because we not only spend and invest money,
we feel it as well. But these feelings about each of our sources of income did not come from out of the blue, we
created them! Try to describe how the relationships feel in all of your sources of income. Look back and try to
remember your thoughts and feelings as you were manifesting this individual source of money.
•
How did you get money as a child? Imagine and write down your first memories of getting a check or cash in your
hand as an adolescent. How do any of those experiences correspond to the sources of income you generate now
as an adult?
SELF-ACTUALIZATION
Ancient mystics taught us of “The Seven Deadly Sins”. They are Sloth, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Pride, Wrath, and Envy.
These seven cut through all religions, races, genders, nationalities, and creeds. Everyone is vulnerable to them. However,
these same mystics told us through faith, rituals, and spiritual practice, we can overcome these Seven Deadly Sins to where
they lose their power and no longer affect us. When you faithfully practice any spiritual technique, you develop a closer
contact with The Universal Mind . You practice ways to realign with the Source of who you are. The Source that is far, far
beyond The Seven Deadly Sins. Scientific Prayer will help you to realign and reconnect with The Source of our Divine
Consciousness. Practicing it, you will see that six of the seven “deadly sins” will diminish and eventually fall away. However,
there is one – SLOTH – that you will have to remove on your own.
Drugs, cigarettes, drunkenness, and non-work lead you to Sloth. All true adepts and mystics tell us that before we can take
steps towards our self-realization, we must first attain our self-actualization. What is self-actualization? How do we
"actualize" ourselves? It is realizing that the body and mind NEED fundamental “nourishment” as much as the spirit does.
Food, shelter, education, and paid work are beneficial to our spiritual growth. If you don't work, broke and constantly
worried about money, or when the sheriffs will be coming to your home to take all of your worldly possessions, how can
you totally be free to realize your Divine self?
Self-actualization is about self-sufficiency and filling up all your reserves here on Earth. Having a college degree is debatable
among mystics and yogis. Some mystics, like Confucius, advocated higher education. But many defiant spiritualists point to
a few Self-realized men and women who did not have any education whatsoever. These people were probably not selfrealized. They were probably Avatars. They were born as fully-realized Divine Consciousness. They were born fully-awake.
However, for us, we need to work towards being more attuned to Divinity and Light. We need actions that will break open
our spiritual reserves. Our colleges and universities are places that can help us. If we talk to any college grad about their
mental state before and after getting their degree, they will all testify that there was an enormous BOOST to their self esteem and self-confidence once they got it. There is an "I can conquer the world"-feeling when you finally get your college
degree. Your vision changes. The cells in your body change. Reserves within you are opened, replenished, and stimulated
with Light. This feeling is carried throughout your Life and even into your dreams. As a spiritualist, few other actions you
can do here on Earth will give you the spiritual, long-term, self-actualizing effects you get from a college degree.
From a self-actualizing point of view, the trials, tests, and challenges here in our world help us to be strong, independent,
resourceful, and self-sufficient. The benefits we receive from overcoming these challenges are to help us go further and fly
higher. However, most of us think once you've got a degree, a house, and a good paying job, you've made it. Most of the
working-class strive for that point and stop there. We don't see it as merely a good starting point. A very good starting point
for The Quest we are really on.
More than a degree or a home, we all want a job. However, there are conditions to that. We all want jobs that pay enough
to cover our bills, have a good boss, great colleagues, keeps our interest, respectable, medical benefits, dental benefits,
paid vacations, nice hours, and is not too challenging - plus we want it to give us extra cash for clothes, trips, cars,
restaurants, and any unexpected thing we haven't thought about. And if these conditions are not met, we won't even
consider applying for the job. That's fine, but thinking only in this way we miss the spiritual aspects and benefits we get
from working a paid job.
For some, Military service combines educational training, accomplishment, and employment. There is also an "I can
conquer the word"-feeling people feel when they graduate from Boot camp or complete their military training. An added
benefit to it is that the person is also paid for their work throughout, even through their Boot camp and educational
training. As with college degrees, completing a military training is something that lasts throughout a person's entire life.
Self-sufficiency from a paid job blesses us in many ways. When we also see that job as a place of worship, we gain strength,
courage, and independence. By refusing to work even a little job to support ourselves, we miss out on certain wheels of
abundance that could be operating in our lives. The abundance of Divine Consciousness is not only in Nature, but is also
operating in our work. If we are not out every day in Nature contemplating The Sun, Stars, trees, and rivers, our minds can
get caught up in our everyday activities and lose focus on the abundance of God. Working at a paid job and seeing it as a
place of worship, you are doing four or five things at once. Besides contemplating Nature, you give yourself a second oar
you can row up the river of Divinity with.
So to initiate our Self-Actualization, a college degree and a paid job are great tools to have. We feel our lives and our
mentalities being altered for the better when we have either or both. By seeing our colleges and work environments as
places of worship and alchemy, The Quest we are on is enhanced even more. The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer is worship
and alchemy. With them in hand, we are able jump the hurdles that may come our way.
Overcoming Drugs And Alcohol
The six techniques found in this book were inspired to be used in a simple, yet profound, way. Having said that, not
everyone is ready practice them. If you decide to, then you should be as physically and spiritually purified as you can be.
Your body and mind need this purification to be able to practice effectively and to overcome some possible “tests” that
may come your way. As was said above, working at a paid job while practicing Scientific Prayer has enormous benefits. But
even before that, in order to get the maximum benefits, you have to have freed yourself from drug, cigarette, and alcohol
addiction.
Not-working and drug addiction are two things that starve the spirit. Of the two, drug, cigarette, and alcohol addiction
starve the spirit the most. Some are in a situation where they can't work or are willing but unable to work because they are
undocumented. But people in these situations can get many benefits from Scientific Prayer until their circumstances
improve. But, substance and cigarette smoking can be given up. Each user has the power in their hands to do it.
These addictions mean that your body and mind are hooked and dependent on something that is destroying it. Your
destructive habit is taking your spirit and physical body down the most lethally toxic path. The more you indulge, the
further down that path you go. Faster and faster towards illness and death. There are only two doors on that path. Two.
One that says "Severe Illness" and the other that says "Early Death". If you stop your habit and turn around, you will see a
third door that says "Better Health".
Again... some things on the spiritual path we have to do for ourselves. The Universe has all the time in the world. And giving
you a few hundred more incarnations is not a problem. However, we have the possibility of performing some actions that
are multiplicable, meaning one of these actions will have many healthy, advantageous effects on our bodies, minds, spirits,
souls, outlook, and evolution. A college degree, paid work, and sobriety are three of these multiplicable actions we can
choose to do.
Non-work and drug addiction also lead us to Sloth. The two are often linked, as when someone is “out of work”, boredom
and depression can lead to drugs or alcohol. Or if someone is a drug or alcohol abuser, it can affect their job performance to
where they end up losing that job. “Highly pressured” jobs, can not only lead to stress and anxiety but also drug and alcohol
addiction. But, when we work and are drug-free we begin to see that both are vital to having a nourished mind and
energized body.
But still, there are many who refuse (through fear, ego, laziness, etc…) to work, look for work, or accept work if it is offered.
And there are others who refuse to see that their daily or weekly drug/alcohol/cigarette habit as a problem. It's NOT a
problem. It is only a problem if you decide to practice Scientific Prayer. If you choose to not work, keeping getting high, and
practice Scientific Prayer anyway... then sorry, you won't get the best benefits out of it. Again... working and getting sob er
are things we have to do for ourselves. If not, then as the Author, I can say that this book is not yet for you. You are not yet
ready to work with these techniques. Find another book or someone who can help you.
The Blessings Of A Paid Job
Working at a job you are over-qualified for is better than not working at all. Working keeps you “up and running” and alert
to newer and better opportunities. If you are waiting until the perfect job, boss, and pay comes along.. You might be
waiting in vain or forever. Stories abound of people who worked at so-called “menial jobs”, who then used it to either
improve their lives, rise to become executives, or put their children through college. Many people use a lot of reasons not
to work. Yes, there are countries and places in the world where there is little work. But, there is no place where no one
works. There are always Teachers, Doctors, Policemen, Bus Drivers, Farmers, etc… even if the economy is so terrible that
the many people living in that country find themselves without work.
Many people blame the fact that we have to work is because at a certain point in our history man started trading goods. If
Tribe A lives on a mountain, Tribe B lives in a valley, and Tribe C lives next to the sea, they are in areas that produce various
goods and can benefit each other by trading. If there’s a drought, tornado, or the river runs dry, then money, loans, and
promisary notes can help keep the ongoing trading in balance.
However, again, money and trade are our surface experiences with abundance. It is not that piece of paper or that coin
that is creating opportunities in your Life, it is your thoughts and actions that are creating opportunities in your Life.
Money is the vehicle, Divine Abundance is the motor. When you are working with Divine Abundance, you are operating at
a much DEEPER level than mere a 9 to 5 job. Your paid job is the outlet for the work you are doing at this deeper level. If
you have different sources of income then you are blessed to have different outlets! Furthermore, in regards to The six
Steps of Scientific Prayer, by working on your Self-Actualization, you create even MORE options and opportunities for your
self.
Our spirit suffers more when the body and mind are not working, than it does when we find ourselves sweeping streets or
washing cars. Our pride pays a heavier price when inactive. Paid work gives us many and varied blessings several times
over. We receive psychological blessings, spiritual blessings, social blessings, and financial blessings. Most of us miss this
point because we look at work as a necessary evil. Something that we are doing to pay the bills, instead of an opportunity
to practice divine thought. A busboy who works with Divine Thought is energized as gathers plates and glasses off of tables.
He is consciously combining the spiritual and material sides of himself. As he works, he is grounding the spiritual, mental,
and physical aspects of himself into one neat package. Yes, he is also tired at the end of the day, but in a totally different
way than someone who relies only on their ego day in and day out. The person who is consciously working with Divine
Thought, along side of their normal work, has always a supply of fresh batteries to energize them throughout the day.
Another reason many people avoid work is that we are often told to "Do something you love!" or to "Follow your passion!".
But, paradoxically, many people have no idea what their passion is. What they would spontaneously do, even if they did
not have to worry about being paid. By not working at all until you find out what your passion is, only makes it harder to
see. Work will break you out of your comfort zone, open your vision, and get you out of the house. Through work, you are
more likely to bump into your passion on the street, than you are at home watching TV.
By following the Six Steps of Scientific Prayer, you will evoke Love and Passion into ANY job or chore you are doing. As we
can direct our own minds to think anything we choose, we can choose to look at a job as a place of worship. Where else can
we go to discover many of our talents and learn so much about humility, ego, and practicing discrimination? All this and get
paid for it at the same time! So even if you collecting garbage, with Divine Thought you go beyond the physical actions of
what your job is. You will be physically there, performing all your job duties. But in your thoughts, you will be high above
whatever tasks you are performing. You will be awakening Light and energy within and around you. You will be able to take
control of your work, while at the same time raising your perspective and elevating your consciousness.
To give you an example of how we can use our work as a place of worship, I will discuss The Red-Green-Violet Battery.
However, later in this book, in the 3rd step of Scientific Prayer, you will learn about it in greater detail. For an easy and
POWERFUL way to evoke this battery you can take a piece of paper, some colored markers, and then draw a red circle at
the bottom of the piece of paper, a green circle above the red circle, and a violet circle at the top. These colored circles help
us to focus on our spine - Red at the bottom of our spine, Green in the middle of our chest, and Violet at the top of our
head. By remembering these places in our spine, we remember our Caduceus, our Kundalini Energy, our Sephirot, Three of
our 12 Chakras, our Sacred Heart, and our 12-Star Halo. The battery also help us reconnect to the planets Mars (Red), Venus
(Green), and to our Sun (Violet). You will also learn how this battery stimulates abundance by combining our thoughts to
our Sexual Energy (Red/Mars), Love (Green/Venus), and Romance (Violet/The Sun). These three simple circles can do all of
this for us! At our jobs, all of us have a desk, cash register, locker, dashboard, table, or something of the kind where we do
most of our work. Try drawing these three circles on a piece of paper in the order described and see for yourself the energy
you feel coming into your body throughout the day!
So yes, our jobs can be places where we energize and invigorate, instead of where we drain and wear out. We can
consciously instill Love and passion into any activity. Practicing Divine Thought now while waitressing or delivering
groceries, will help us sharpen our talents and prepare ourselves for the times when our find our passion and are doing the
things we Love.
The Problem With Drugs, Alcohol And Cigarettes
All addictions must first be ended before using these techniques. Not reduced.. Not toned down.. Stopped. Ended. You
might think of many of examples of chain-smokers and alcoholics who have lived long lives. However, these toxins do
eventually catch up with you. Your heart, liver, and lungs irreparably deteriorate. Plus, addictions are more than only
physical, they are also psychological. You are dependent on a toxic substance that is slowly killing you. This substance is not
only a murderer, but also a thief. It is robbing you of time, money, and health. Things that could be of better use in
benefiting each and every second of your life. Invite those examples you have of chain-smokers or alcoholics who you think
have "made it" to coffee, whether in reality or in thought. Grill them about their lives. How are/were they spiritually,
mentally, and egotistically? The toxins that ran through their bloodstream have had a devastating effect on their spirits.
These people have gotten into the habit of deliberately taking death, darkness , and sickness into all of their bodily systems
and then getting hooked on it. Where else does all that black energy have to go but out? Again, we are both receptors and
transmitters. We express everything we take in. Examining our acts and thoughts around our addictions to cigarettes,
drugs, and alcohol, we see that they are equivalent to a "death wish".
With these addictions, you will not be able to reach your highest potential or gain any true benefit with scientific prayer. It
is like trying to climb a mountain with your feet stuck in the mud. You can take them with you. You have to leave them
behind. You have to be free. Your "instrument", your body, has to be clear and in a pure and healthy state to reach it's
highest potential. You want all your forces and capacities to be readily available for your cleared mind. Through thought,
words, and actions we use our small mind to reconnect to The Universal Mind. Even the tiniest step we take in this
direction, we ascend. At the very least, addictions rob much of our thoughts from this beautiful and transcendent
ascension we could be experiencing. The Heart can feel, but the Mind can reason and put everything we feel into place.
Our society and our psychologists put a great emphasis on "feeling good". Feeling good is great, but unpredictable. We
mostly believe that there is an outer object or person needed to feel good. However, attached to that outer object is a
thought. Divine thoughts are higher than positive thoughts or happy thoughts. To think a divine thought our heart leaps
instantly. Happiness, health, and positivity trickle down into all of our being from that divine thought.
Again, everything follows the Mind. So, first get clean! There will still be more than enough temptations and enticements
for you even without the added addictions to drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol to get through. Your True Self already knows
that one day you will have to give them up in order to truly progress. So, do it now! It is up to us to keep our minds sharp,
as procrastination will never give up trying to bait us.
At the time of writing this book the Legalization of Marijuana is often in the news. This has opened the gates to where some
people are even by lobbying for the legalization of heroin! Drugs stunt both your spiritual growth and creativity. Once you
get high, you find yourself too lazy to work on your painting. TV, sex, internet games, or anything else suddenly seem more
attractive than writing or practicing your art. Soon it is time for bed and you have wasted another day. Talk to any ex-junkie
not only about the highs and so-called ecstasies they experienced, but also about their lows, withdraws, and depression.
Talk to them about the environment they lived in, the people they were around, and the wasted money and time. Talk to
them about what they wish they would have done with all that lost time, money, and energy. The difference between their
sober-self and the former addict is their attachment to their drug(s). Once they took conscious steps away from the drug,
the attachment, and the habit, they felt better - not worse. Dark entities still hovered around them for years, smelling the
traces of their bad habit and waiting for a moment to entrap them again when they were weak or off-guard. But, as they
grew stronger and more purified, these entities eventually went away to look for other victims.
Preparing For A Marathon
You are about to embark on a marathon race. Continuing this conscious toxification of your body would be like trying to
run a 20 mile marathon with your legs tied. You will fall, give up, and never reach the end. You need all your faculties to go
on this race! Mental, spiritual, and physical. The easiest is the physical. The hardest, BY FAR, is the mental. Through your
new habits, the spiritual falls into place on its own. So, start your first leg of the race by giving up your substance addictions.
This book promises to get you “higher” than any drug you could swallow, snort, smoke, or shoot up. Most other aspects of
human existence can be incorporated and transformed by using these techniques, but drug- or alcohol-addiction can not.
There are a few things that we humans have to do for ourselves. By transforming our negative thoughts, overcoming our
vices, and turning our negative habits and environments into positive ones, we dramatically improve every aspect of our
lives. You experience a divine high by practicing techniques that bring light into your body, your life, and into the lives of
those around you. An artist takes this divine high even further by putting that energy into their writing, painting, singing,
ceramics, etc... The highest high are the techniques that teach us to see God within and around us. But, don't believe me!
Feeling this white light enter your body is what will convince you. Triggering it through your own thought will make you a
believer.
Once you start practicing, you will begin seeing and recognizing things mysteriously manifesting in your life - things like
money, signs, physical affirmations, and gifts. You will know that these manifestations came from the fact that you are
operating at a higher vibration. If you are a former addict, there is a moment (or many moments) coming in your future
when you will realize that none of the manifestations that The Universal Mind is sending you could have ever come from
alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs. That will be a great step towards your own self-actualization! A GREAT DAY!
I myself had a years-long Marijuana addiction that I gave up on Thanksgiving Day, 1994. Since then, I have not smoked a
joint or a cigarette. Traces of my addiction stayed with me for years. Dark entities hovered, tempted, and waited. But, I
never fell. Throughout those years I only had the second step of scientific prayer to use as a tool. This alone was powerful
enough to keep me clean. The other five steps formulated years later. They slowly crystalized, one by one, into these
various techniques. Now I find it funny to see someone light up in front of me. Practicing these techniques has gotten me
“higher” than any drug ever could.
Drugs vs The Six Steps Of Scientific Prayer
There are many reasons why people take drugs, and many reasons why I have found that these techniques are more
beneficial than drug use. The following list are some excuses and arguments many people say they use drugs and alcohol
for, and which of the steps of scientific prayer, [in brackets], is a better choice:
1. For sex... [Steps 2 and 3]. Your sexual feelings and feeling of Love and Romance will be markedly enhanced.
You will also learn how to transmute your sexual energy to awaken an “Alchemic State” in your heart, mind and
spirit. Through three of the chakra colors, Red, Green and Violet, you will practice sending sexual energy up your
spine, awakening your Kundalini energy, Caduceus, Sephirot, and the symbolic serpents of masculine and
feminine energy that are all connected to the human spine. In this “Alchemic State”, you will stimulate your
sexual energy and be able to manifest abundance for yourself and others.
2. For improved eyesight and vision… [Steps 1 and 2]. Many prescription drugs and eye drops work better than
marijuana to treat glaucoma. But none will help open and teach you how to use your “3rd Eye”. Perception,
insight, and foresight are some visual benefits to scientific prayer.
3.To make money… [Steps 5 and 6]. You will learn how to evoke universal abundance in all aspects of your life.
4. For relaxation… [The preparation step and step 2]. You will learn how to go deep within yourself (both in and
out of meditation.. with or without your eyes closed) not only to relax, but also to revive and regenerate.
5. For a low self-esteem… [Steps 1 and 4]. You will gain a high self-esteem in the knowledge that you are one with
The Divine. Drug consumption not only lowers your health, but also your self-worth and self-esteem.
6. For Peace… [Steps 4, 2, and 1]. You will gain a new type of eternal peace that is full of the quintessence of Life.
A peace that does not diminish and that you will feel spontaneously encompassing your being and can call upon at
will.
7. Because of feelings of insecurity… [Steps 6 and 1]. As you build more and more “bridges to source”, you will
gain a new source of security. You will be less dependent on exterior things, as you are working directly the source
of where True Wealth springs from. You will trigger "A Fountain of Wonder" in your Life, and know that the
wealth you are gaining can not be taken from you.
8. To awaken creativity… [Steps 3 and 5]. You will become close with the source of creativity and will see your
creativity FLOW in many aspects of your Life. Others around you will confirm this. You will feel yourself becoming
a channel of creativity, light, and abundance. The universe will awaken more energy, joy and power within you.
Plus you will have a project you will be working on (or will it be working on you?). Your project combined with
universal energy and "The Fire of Abundance" will make you automatically productive without the need for drugs.
Side note: You will surely have times when you will feel “overcharged” and might be insomniac as a result. Keep a
supply of Bedtime teas, honey, sunflower seeds, oils handy. If, sometimes, you only get 3 hours of sleep,
Universal energy will surely see you through the next day.
9. For inspiration… [Steps 3 and 1]. As you will come closer to Eternal Light, you will live in the Light. Meaning that
you will see and sense that the Universe is acting within and around you. You will be more alert to both material
and spiritual "gifts" and “messages” that the Universal Mind will send you.
10. Against depression… [Steps 4 and 5]. Light, Love and Joy will fill your daily life and you will also be able to tap
into Source at will… meaning you will be able to overcome depression at will. Where there is Light, there can be
no darkness.
11. To touch consciousness… [Steps 1, 2, and 4]. You will be working with spiritual techniques that will bring you
into direct contact with consciousness without the use of drugs.
12. For friendships/ relationships/ sociability… [Steps 3 and 1]. As you take steps closer to Divine Source, the
Source of who and what we all ARE, your relationships will automatically improve. As you gain more Light, not
only will negative entities leave your environment, but negative people as well. This is a direct result of you, your
practices, and your expanding Light! When you do hear “bad news” or “misfortune”, you will be able to quickly
neutralize it or even transmute it into good. That is not to say you will not feel compassion and empathy...you
will! But, you will always have an exit out of darkness. Like when a gardener who uses a WILD Branch to grow
heartier fruit, you will be able to use negativity or darkness for learning, transmutation, and growth. Becoming
more instilled with Light helps you to see what thought processes to avoid. Is Facebook and the Social media good
for you? How many hate links are receiving through it? Injustice links? Links to no where… Think about what you
are getting in your mailbox?... and getting into your thoughts and mind. Possibly the 80/20 rule could benefit us in
this area of our lives? Consider un-friending 20% of your social media contacts if they are putting darkness and
negativity into your mailbox. Would doing this be better for your mental health?
13. Because a famous star did drugs… (Yeah, and look at where it got them!) [Steps 4 and 5]. Dead from an
“accidental” overdose, broke, depressed, self-destructive, lonely, and/or uninspired. Science has found that drugs
and alcohol do not awaken creativity… they kill it. How can you destroy and create at the same time? Are you just
buying into the hype that rich Hollywood stars are the pinnacles of human existence? Just because they are
getting millions of dollars in royalty payments doesn’t mean they know True Wealth. Learn to see past celebrity.
When a person is famous, they’ve got a record company, publisher or studio behind them pushing them HARD to
get a product out of them as fast as possible. Millions of dollars, the future of several companies, and countless
careers are often at stake. This is why you see actors and singers often saying the same things during their
interviews. I remember seeing two different interviews, a good 15 years apart, with the same actor who had
made it big on TV and went onto being even bigger in films – He was telling some of the same stories as he did 15
years earlier. Seeing that, it occurred to me that actors are not there to reveal their personal lives, but to be
entertaining. They use their charisma to promote their product. When you see them out promoting their product,
they are often on automatic pilot. The one time they break out of that automatic pilot mode is what probably
ends up as a viral video. The artist during their artistic career feels tremendous pressures from many sides - from
within themselves (their minds, their creative limits, the pressure to come up with something new and
commercial, money, fame, numerous secrets they want to keep hidden, etc…) and also many pressures from
outside of themselves (the studio, the manager, the agents, tour dates, schedules, DEADLINES, budgets, the fans,
people who’s livelihoods depend on that artist not only being creative… but more than that…them being hugely
successful). As observers, we see the "fun" part. But for years up until that point that artist struggled and
desperately hoped to be involved in a product that others would feel it worthy enough to invest their time and
money into. It had to be a product that these investors strongly felt they could sell it to their connections and
then market to the public. The successful artist knows this in the back of their minds. Again, it is a LOT of pressure
to be under!
Hollywood or Holywood
When you are a currently working artist, and are feeling the rewards of your talents, life is wonderful! You are being seen
and enjoying the spotlight. Everyone (mostly) is happy. Everyone is earning money and can pay their bills. The potential of
joy and success create a powerful thought-form for a few people initially and, if the project is eventually successful, for
others as well. But, just under the glitter, Hollywood is a place filled with lonely housewives and neglected children. During
the MANY "downtimes" when you are not a currently working artist, it is uncertainty and fear that eat at you. You still look
the same, you still act the same, you still sing the same, but your thoughts have changed to worry. Even when you are lucky
enough to work regularly, your thoughts are still rooted in worry. If the only legs you've had to stand has been luck and
some acting classes, then worry and fear slowly become all-consuming. The only immediate cure of which seems to be a
new gig. Until that is reached, worry, fear and doubt seem to magnify as each day passes. As a fan, you might believe that
your favorite artist is a “rebel” and is doing their own thing… they are – up to a point. Being a little bit unique and different
from the rest is probably what has opened up this opportunity for them. However, there is still a great deal out of their
hands. In truth, there is actually very little within their hands. A working artist knows if they want to continue living the
lifestyle they are becoming accustomed to, they’ve got to be reliable, cooperative, and come up with something GREAT!
Otherwise… “Next!”.
Hollywood, in all its forms and forums, is a very difficult world to live in. Hollywood is not only the city in southern
California, it is everywhere throughout the world where various people create and make a living from their artistic talents.
Toes get stepped on and egos get hurt - often on purpose or out of jealousy. As fans, we admire the chiseled bodies and
beautiful faces, but forget the steroids and plastic surgery. At first glance, we reach for short-cuts to an established idea of
Hollywood perfection. But what really drives these people to the gym? Most likely, it is because an agent, manager,
casting director, or even another actor has said "My God, you look fat!". The culprit could even be themselves looking in
the mirror saying the same thing. What drives these people to plastic surgeons? Also because an agent, manager, casting
director, or even another actor has said "My God, you look old!". An agent or manager might have even added "I can't send
you out on anymore casting calls unless you get a face-lift!". Hearing that one sentence has profound implications on an
actor’s self-esteem, finances, future, health, stress, self-confidence, and thoughts. Yet, hundreds of men and women hear it
every day. So, that leads to the last question… What drives these people to psychologists, analysts, drugs, alcohol, sex... and
on and on... What a world!... and yet millions of people are fighting tooth and nail to get into it!! Again, is this the pinnacle
of human existence?
If you yourself want to work-out or diet that is different than becoming anorexic or bulimic because a casting director told
you "You're fat!". If you have a fragile personality, you might start to think your talent is dependent on your weight. The
two become intertwined. So much so that when an actor is required to cry on camera they are just as likely to be
remembering a dramatic Life event as remembering times they were told "You're fat and ugly" by directors and managers.
Most artists never make it. Others had one shot and that was it. A few have passed their “peaks” and end up living off of
their name. Others have made more than enough money for 20 lifetimes and just stay home, watch TV, and live a slightly
paranoid existence - wondering if it was all worth it. In the agent’s, manager’s, and casting director’s defense, there are a
bitter few projects that get green-lighted and financed. They want their artist to be the one chosen for one of the few
projects that get through. However, it’s easy to forget that words and thoughts carry enormous weight on fragile egos.
That is why it is beneficial to all involved to be supported by something deeper than thought, talent, and words. A vibrant
field of consciousness that enriches and inspires us. A realm of existence where we can come to to transcend and transform
negative thought. The currently working artist certainly knows all the other types of artist. For any artist there is anxiety.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent each year on movies, plays, music, and musicals that never earn back their costs.
Every dime that was lost had even been invested after very careful analysis. The months and years leading up to the
premiere or opening night have been filled with insecurity. For all involved, deep down there is tremendous anxiety and
fear. However, it is hope that pulls everyone through.
“Dr. Robinson”
Your biggest chance to become rich and famous, is to have a break-out role or a break-out song. However, this has a
double-edged sword. If you are an actor who is lucky enough to land a leading role as a doctor on a TV series, at first, this is
GREAT! A lot of money starts rolling into your bank account. Your phone is ringing. You are working and receiving fan mail
from all over the world. You are feeling loved, respected, and admired.
But, imagine at the beginning of every episode your TV show nurse has to say "Good morning, Dr. Robinson". It's quite
innocent at first, but that quickly becomes the catch phrase of the show. Very soon that catch phrase will become your
nightmare! Everywhere you go you will hear it! - Morning, Noon, and Night... someone will say "Good morning, Dr.
Robinson". In a restaurant, at the gas station, shopping for clothes... everywhere! There will be no escape. It will become
pure torture. Hearing "Good morning Dr. Robinson" a thousand times a day gets old... fast! Sometimes you feel that if you
hear "Good morning, Dr. Robinson" one more time you are going to go crazy or explode at someone! Every Joe-Blow that
says it to you thinks he is being original and are the first to tell it to you. For them it’s pure pleasure, for you it’s pure
torment. Hearing it off-set (and sometimes on-set) feels like you have stuck your finger into a light socket. This catch phrase
feels like sudden, unexpected, uncomfortable little shocks all over your body or like a stick you are getting beaten with.
Before working on this show, the real you was very fun-loving and creative. But, now you've changed. You are now a little
darker, more reserved, and untrusting. The dressing up, acting, and money in your bank account do help ease the pain. You
have never had so much money in your life. The money is your compensation for being called "Dr. Robinson" all the damn
time. Even when you are being introduced to strangers at a dinner or cocktail party, he ALWAYS slips in there, and you get
partly introduced as THE “Dr. Robinson” – that is, unless you have forewarned the understanding host or sympathetic
hostess. Anyway, you’ve come to expect it and try to come back to an inner normality as quickly as you can.
Every day the power of television amazes you as to its reach. The number of times someone has looked at you funny and
said “Don’t I know you?” would make you a rich man if you had a dollar every time it happened. Still that is better than
someone screaming “Doctor Robinson!” at you. Anonymity is something you now wish you had treasured more when you
had it.
Since you play a doctor on TV, real people ask you medical advice. Even real doctors ask you your opinion. Real patients
dying from terminal diseases want you to visit them in hospitals. In extreme cases, you do, but you know you’re an actor.
However, there is some degree of comfort in that you can feel that you are contributing something to this world. You see
that your presence is making them feel better and you are making a difference in a lot of people’s lives. These are the few
times when your fame is for a good cause. Several times a day you have to say to people "I am not a real doctor. I only play
one on TV". And even then, they sometimes don't believe you.
In your contract negotiations, you DEMAND that no one on-set calls you Dr. Robinson off-camera. The directors, producers,
and crew must all call you by your real name, as it is the only time you hear it these days. Europe, England, Asia, and
Australia are no escape either, as the show is also played there.
Now, imagine on this successful TV show that Dr. Robinson is a secret weirdo serial killer. You have also given him a bizarre
little giggle and a funny way of walking. The directors, producers, and studio loved it when you auditioned for this role. And
now audiences world-wide tune in every week to watch! You've made him into an intriguing persona. But in order for you
to get into character every day, you have to think of this creepy neighbor you grew up next door to as a child. The same
man who kept trying to lure you into his house when your parents were gone. This man totally disgusted you as a child, but
when you play Dr. Robinson the way you think of him somehow fits perfectly for the directors, producers, studio, and
millions of TV viewers. The day you and thirty other actors were auditioning for that role, something in the characterization
they wrote up on what the producers were looking for made you think of that creepy neighbor. But now... everyone thinks
you are Dr. Robinson, and by extension that creepy guy. You ARE him from six o’clock in the morning until ten o’clock at
night. You avoid watching yourself on TV because it reminds you of this sicko you avoided throughout your youth. So even
though you love the money and notoriety, you’ve come to despise the character. It starts to take tremendous effort to
distinguish between hating Dr. Robinson and hating yourself.
When the show is cancelled, the torture does not end. People remember. That catch phrase has become part of the
mainstream. You've heard it joked about on the radio, the internet, and TV talk shows. And every time you hear it, you are
reminded of that creep next door who wanted to do God-knows-what to you as a child. Part of you will always be known as
"Dr. Robinson"... maybe for the rest of your life. Your biggest fear is that you will never find another role as successful as
that TV series. You are highly aware that in Hollywood, it is only the tiniest handful of the tiniest handful who have had
more than one highly recognizable hit. Deep down, you know you lucked out, as all hits are elusive and unpredictable. So
you spend your time using your money, power, name, and connections to get a second one. Between sporadic meetings
and phone calls, you drink, shop, get high, or try to write a script. There's not much else to do. You sometimes think about
the day you die how Newscasters will say "The actor Mark Buchanan died today... he was best known for his role as Dr.
Robinson...blah, blah, blah..". In the back of your mind, you pray that that character and that creepy neighbor will not
follow you to your grave.
Soon, days become weeks and weeks become months. You turn around and it is years after the show has ended. With time,
you seem to have made peace with both Dr. Robinson and that creepy neighbor. Now that the show is no longer in the
forefront of people’s minds, you can talk about your experiences in a déjà vu manner. You are older and wiser. You have a
lot to share and want to creatively get it out. You have both talent and experience, but in many ways it feels like you are
starting from zero. At times, it seems that part of you has become a bit of an acting or success advisor to people who are a
little bit star struck by what you have been through. Still… you want to get back in the game. You, your agent, and often
young directors and producers try to you use your long passed fame to renew interest into your/their talents and projects.
But, it’s still not easy. The money and royalties, although less now than they once were, has made you “Fat” -- not so much
physically, but mentally. However, if any of your projects were to get green-lighted and financed, you’d be one of the most
hard-working and reliable people on-set. You’d even go through being called “Dr. Robinson” again if you had to, but this
time with much less of your anxiety attached to it. Working is its own reward.
Not all actors have to go through what is described above, but it does happen. And it not only happens to actors, it happens
to singers as well. If your one hit is "I Follow Rainbows", what do you think people will sing when they recognize you in a gas
station? What will people want you to do at birthday parties, dinner parties, and weddings?... whether you feel like it or
not! To escape, this often leads to an artist reaching for the bottle or the pipe... especially if they are surrounded by other
misguided people who are trying to live "The High Life" by proximity. What is unfortunate is that we are led to believe that
being a Movie star or a Pop star will automatically fulfill all your internal resources. That because you are “only” a college
grad and not an actress that you are something less. You’re not! As a college graduate, you have merely chosen for a
different set of your internal resources to be fulfilled. We all have both creative resources and intellectual resources. You
see it when an artist sits at a table with a group of college graduates talking about professors and life on campus, or when a
college graduate sits at a table with a group of singers talking about producers and life on tour. It is not so much about
feeling insecure or like “a fish out of water”, as it is about a certain set of internal resources not having been fulfilled.
Being able to study, pass college-level exams, and then attain a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree is something that requires a
person to reach for inner capacities deeper than fame. Yet, millions of people do it every year. What is sad is that some
college graduates can feel inferior to someone who is on TV, as if they’ve let Life pass them by. What is sadder is when
some people on TV feel superior to people who have gone on to get their degrees. Both need to see the capacities they
reached for within themselves to succeed.

In regards to fame, there are feelings of isolation, doubt, and loneliness. This might also be another reason to get high, to
escape the reality of your famous life. This is what the few we idolize and know about are going through. Fame is toxic, if
the person has no spiritual support that they can turn to. Don’t believe me or the gossip magazines. Merely read five
autobiographies or listen to artists tell it themselves in on-camera interviews.
It used to be said that for every star or superstar we see, there are thousands of others trying to make it or dreaming to.
But, with the internet being available all over the world, that number today is probably millions of others trying to make it
or dreaming to. Fame is a heavy price to pay. Even Pope Francis has said that he can't even walk out into Rome to eat a
pizza. As for famous artists, wherever you go you are recognized. People shout your name, and you have to fight against
reacting to that in a normal, human way. Your privacy is impeded upon, as people will often want something from you.
They will want to talk to you, you to sign an autograph, you to come to an event, help, or sex. Sometimes you are even used
to vent someone else’s anger and self-frustration. Your trust in others is almost nil because everyone knows your name,
knows what you do, and knows some personal things about you and your Life. People often talk to you like a friend who has
known you for years. But, for you everyone is a stranger. Because of what has been written about you, the world has built
up a one-sided relationship with who they think you are. Professionally, and you are probably still waiting months or years
to be paid for a project, yet everyone thinks you are a multi-millionaire. Companies are slow to pay you your money. To get
it, you have to consider hiring an expensive lawyer or being blacklisted as a trouble-maker in the eyes of other producers
who could hire you for your next job. So, the only way you can “get out” might be to “get high”. Again... is this the pinnacle
of Human existence? You, as a fan, might not realize all of this and just see that it was the bottle or the pipe that made the
artist successful.
The Pinnacle Of Human Existence
With the techniques you are about to learn, (after first sacrificing your addiction) you will have another way to live your life
and use your thoughts! Using drugs is like being lost on a wild, turbulent river with your boat dangerously thrashing up and
down! But, as you practice these techniques, you will feel like you are the Captain of a Viking ship with a 100-man TEAM of
expert ROWERS leading you over calmer waters to your own Utopia or to wherever you want them to take you.
The pinnacle of human existence is not only for a few wealthy or famous people. It does not exist in the place we call
Hollywood. Nor does it exist in:
-Monaco
-England
-Europe
-America
-Monte Carlo
-Beverly Hills
-Manhattan
-Notting Hill
-Malibu
-Shanghai
-Hong Kong
-Jerusalem
-Washington DC
-Wall Street
-The 8th arrondissement of Paris
-Saudi Arabia
-The Upper East Side of Manhattan...
Neither does it exist in...
-Atlantis
-Babylon
-Shangri-La
-Sirius
-The Nile
-The Ganges...
The pinnacle of human existence has always existed and will always exist within the resources of our own Divine Self and
awakened Soul.
THREE KINDS OF WORK
I once read about an Indian adept who would respond to any question asked of him with only one of three answers –
“Truth”… “Love”...or “Work”. In the book I was reading, this man was only mentioned in passing. Not more than three or
four sentences. But this mystic and his three responses affected me immensely. Think about it for a moment. To this adept,
any question you or I can think of can be answered with one of these three words: “Truth”, “Love”, or “Work”. I tried
thinking of several questions that I would have asked this mystic. Each time answering my own questions with one of his
three answers. I even thought of a "trick question" I would have asked him - "What in The Universe is deeper than Truth?".
At first, it seemed to me his obvious answer would be "Love". Imagining Love deeper than Truth made me transcend and
fall into deep thought. But, then I imagined if instead he were to answer that question with "Work". Work deeper than
Truth. That triggered my imagination even more, and I fell into even deeper thought. Anyway, it was a simple two-line
passage in a book about someone who lived, taught, and inspired.
Love is often talked about in a spiritual context. Truth is also talked about in a spiritual context. But, Work is primarily seen
as something we do just to earn money and pay the bills. However, with a new view and a slight change in our thoughts, we
can put Work up where Truth and Love are in our minds. As we work and incorporate these techniques into our
consciousness, we will see new dimensions and possibilities open in our lives. Love and Truth will spring forth from
"Affirmative Action", that is when divine thought, words, and practice are intertwined with our work. We will SEE Divine
manifestations appearing in our lives - not only in the form of money, but through other avenues as well. Because we will
be operating from a new power source, our batteries will run longer and we will have the ability to work, create, and multi task. Work begets works even for people who do not incorporate divine thought into their duties. Why? Because when we
work we are "up and running". Our minds, bodies, and thoughts are in a higher mode. We automatically put ourselves into
an elevated and more active vibration when we work. However, if we also consciously add divine dimensions to our work,
we change our energy, outlook, creativity, inspiration, and inner/outer attraction EVENMORE. Work is the vital element we
need to attract abundance and joy into our lives. How else could unseen and, as-yet, unknown forces begin to open up
possibilities for us and start operating in our lives if we are not stimulating their potentiality with regular work and divine
thought?
Lastly, I would imagine that if some cocky wise-guy were to ask this Guru a question like, “What is two plus two?” he would
surprise us all by answering “Four”. However, for serious seekers, this auspicious master kept his teachings extremely
simple. Simple, effective, loving, and thought-provoking.
Work Is Devotion, A Teacher, And A Path
In spiritual circles, it is often said that “Work is devotion”. But when most of us say that we "work " we usually mean that
we perform a paying job that we have studied or trained for to sustain our needs. Work is important for our self actualization, as it provides us with many blessings. Paid jobs give us the blessings of experience, independence, money,
and relationships. An atheist flipping hamburgers feels blessed when he can pay his rent and phone bill at the end of the
month. So at the very least, by working, many of our inner faculties are stimulated and fulfilled, even if we don't aspire for
anything higher. Furthermore, regular, long-term employment seems to also benefit our mind, character, and spirit. From
your training, to your having a purpose to get up each day, to your colleagues and work environment, to your payment at
the end of the month.. all will have deep resonating effects on you, your consciousness, and sub-consciousness.
Some people claim that it is their jobs that make them depressed. They dread going to work and feel darkness when they
are there. That is very common. However, to improve this situation we can begin to look at our jobs differently and turn
them into places of worship. Places where we can transcend our energy and transmute Light. When Light is flowing through
us, darker energies flow out of our systems and will not get trapped in our bodies. This trapped dark energy is more likely
the source of our “depression”.
Higher than a basic job we do to sustain our needs are those jobs we do that we love. Some of us are lucky enough to work
in careers we claim to "Love". By this we mean people who have recognized a talent they have and have seized
opportunities to turn that talent into a paid career. Since nothing happens by chance, these talented people quickly found
one of their “Abundant Hotspots”, worked hard, and used thought and action to become active components within The
Universal Mind. All this might not have been done consciously and purposely, but rather instinctively and fatefully (karma).
The talent they possess is easy for them to bring forth. Work and connections they made in previous lives help create
opportunities they benefit from in this life. Still… it is hard work and sacrifice! The success that they experience can be very
sweet, if it doesn't turn bitter. Bitterness comes when we don’t have ways to fill our bodies with Light. Creative work can
only do so much. It operates on us when we are active. However, if we are not also “spiritual receivers” as we create, our
creative energy will likely burn out. We would have everything if we had something that could powerfully fill our bodies
with Light whether or not we are working on a creative project.
For the vast majority of people, it can be limiting to tell them to "Follow your dream", “Go with your passion”, or "Only do
something you Love". What normally happens from following this advice is the person develops tunnel vision. A die-hard
vision that it has to be that dream and nothing else. Working this way, the dream, passion, or thing you Love never get
reinvigorated with Light. You are just focused on work and success, and you hardly spend a minute rejuvenating yourself
and your passions with spiritual Light. The times you do call on God are in times of prayer when you pray for courage, your
own benefit, or material success.
I am not criticizing this way of working, however we have to keep in mind one of the main elements of Love -- Love grows.
Love expands. Love energizes and magnetizes. Spiritual Love takes you on a rollercoaster ride - affecting your mind, vision,
and outlook on Life. As your heart opens to a higher Love, it attracts new people, opportunities, and situations to you – in
THIS Life. Love activates and awakens dormant ideas and talents within yourself, so that you will be able to more easily add
– and BE - this Love Factor in all of your work and actions.
When you are able to ground Higher Love, the dreams you had 20 years ago will be enriched, yes! But many more new
dreams, thoughts, and ideas will be added to your possibilities because your heart, solar plexus, and green chakra will be
widening and empowered. Strangely enough, many people who believe in the "Follow your dream" and the "Only do
something you Love" dogmas, find that they do not have the energy or inspiration to make their dreams a reality. These
dogmas are unfruitful because they see Love as stagnant. We are told, and tell ourselves, that the dream we had at 16 years
old is written in stone and we must keep and follow only that dream for the rest of our lives.. or we will be failures.
Stubbornly following that dream of 20 years ago might block us from a new opportunity that will give us just as much
fulfillment and happiness today. That 20-year old dream might be what is blocking you from discovering your many other
talents. Talents that you would be forced to awaken when you face a brand new challenge. But maybe that old dream was
not just a dream.. maybe it was also a Teacher? Look at how far it brought us! Look at all the experiences, memories, and
people we met because of it. Plus, that 20 year old dream has not gone away! It is still in our orbit, and might be gathering
new people and situations to us so that we can do it on a much higher level now or in the near future. No, in 20 years that
old dream did not make you a billionaire or world-famous -- But, it did help you learn many valuable lessons in Life and
helped you take steps in recognizing your quintessence within. And one drop of that quintessence is worth more than an
Oscar, a hit record, or a 3-star French restaurant.
As for awards, like an Oscar, are we really focused in the right direction in desiring them? Talk to any Oscar-winner and ask
them their opinion. I had the fortune of doing this many times with an Oscar winner for animation, Nicole Van Goethem.
She would take her Oscar on train rides in a plastic bag! She told me how she still had to still work hard, deal with rejection,
and suffer financial lack. Although alcohol had affected her health, she was still wise enough to invest her money in rental
Real Estate. She once told me face-to-face in a very serious tone, “Without that house, I could not make films”. As for
actors, the Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche has said in interviews that she "found it funny" that if "you scratch a little bit of
the paint....it all starts falling away"... and “becomes grey". Isn’t it strange that even one of the most sought-after awards in
the world tarnishes? However, Quintessential Love does not rust, tarnish, or rot. It is made from thoughts of purity, divinity,
and abundance. The key is to stay open to it and realize that, by practicing these techniques, you are automatically
awakening and attracting new opportunities to yourself. This in and of itself is its own reward, and your life has become
about growth.
The Three Paths
Popular consciousness tells us that Love is our highest goal. Millions of songs, books, films, and poems have been written
about it. Love is supposed to be the answer we are looking for. It is our most dominant mantra. Having said all we have
said about Love, has it been effective? Is it the highest road we can take in regards to our lives and work?
Love has a definite value. Love makes us act, think, and feel. Love awakens centers within us. But, Love is a by-product.
It is a natural occurrence that spontaneously springs forth when you are operating on the highest road or on one of the
three paths leading up to it. The highest road is Wealth Consciousness or True Wealth.
True Wealth is for everyone. Again... if you are alive, on Earth, and in human form you have True Wealth within you.
Popular consciousness says that True Wealth is when we have homes, cars, and a lot of money in the bank. All of these
things devalue. None of them you can take with you when you die. All of them you can lose or can be stolen. True Wealth
can not be lost. Not even after you die. You take True Wealth with you into your next Lives. Lying on your deathbed, you
are not going to be asking for your Sterling Silver or Van Gogh painting. Taking your last breaths, these things become very
small. Minute! In the minutes before you die, you will not even be thinking about Love. You will only be busy with one
thing - The habitual thoughts you have built up to that point in Life. You will know that you are on the threshold of passing
into another realit y. If none of your thoughts in Life has ever taken you to this area, how do you think you will feel when
you will inevitably be standing there? What will your mind be filled with? Regret and fear or peace and Light?
Take the person who commits suicide. Imagine what thoughts their minds are filled with before they pull the trigger or
jump off the step ladder. It is surely not on Love, peace, or Light. It is probably not even on their money or possessions. It is
surely not on fear as well. However, there is a better way to die than that. A way where your thoughts are filled with Light
as you pass onto and into a different dimension. The abundant consciousness we all come from and that sustains
everything we know and are. We all will eventually die. In the history of man, not one person has lived forever. So we can
prepare ourselves for it... or not.
The highest road to True Wealth contains three paths leading to it. The paths are already laid within us. They are just
blocked with fallen trees and overgrown blackberry bushes. With practice and some effor t, we can clear up these paths.
This book helps teach you the 3 paths of work that will lead you to Wealth Consciousness. The three highest forms of work
to True Wealth, namely:
1. Perfecting yourself through Thought.
2. Focusing your thoughts on Divine Light.
3. Harmonizing your thoughts with The Ethereal Quintessence.
With these three forms of work, we begin living the true meaning of "On Earth, as it is in Heaven". We begin grounding
Divine Light. In other words, we bring Divine Light into our bodies and allow it to affect our actions and thoughts. We bring
it into our lives, our relationships, and into our world.
When we ground Light, we rise. We feel ourselves rising up to those higher roads when judgments of others fall away of
their own accord and when a new radiant light enters our body. The non-judgment of others based on their skin color,
religion, age, nationality, sex, sexuality, social status, etc… is a great sign of ascendance. It is tied to the new vision we
develop of us seeing the abundant light that exists in and beyond all of us. We rise up to those higher paths when the light
we feel within we can find in everyone we meet. That vision has established itself within us when our new insight extends
to animals, plants, roc ks, planets, and even into our Cosmos. We will look the same (actually younger!), but we won't feel
the same, think the same, see the same, or experience Life the same as we had before.
To experience this, you do not have to wait for a day, a sign, or a moment for it to happen. Your efforts, desire, and
practice are all you need. Surely there will come MANY days, signs, and moments that you will instinctively know came from
Divinity. We will just begin to recognize and appreciate them more quickly. Gratitude and wonder will be part of our
normal thoughts. As human beings, we were born with the mechanisms, capacities, and elements to start the wheels
moving, to raise us higher, and awaken it all... NOW!
BURN-OUTS, DEPRESSION, AND
VICTIMIZATION
In our modern world, we see many people suffering from burn-outs and depression. Anti-depressants, long term sick
leaves, and suicides are on the rise. The difference between a burn-out and a depression is that a burn-out is a lack of
energy and a depression is a lack of will. Often both go hand in hand, with one leading to the other. With a burn-out, the
person rapidly "burns up" their energy and does not have the ability to fully recharge their batteries. Rest and sleep do not
seem to be enough to replenish their resources. For weeks, months, or even years they feel they are functioning on an
energy shortage. Because their batteries never get fully recharged, they quickly feel exhausted from living in our modern
society of work, family, technology, traffic, and stress. A depression is when someone's desire or will is burned up. They see
little or no wonder in the life around them. They see no reason to get out of bed or any meaning in their lives. They see no
beauty in themselves. They see no purpose in their lives or joy in their world. Every day is the same. Isolation and inactivity
turn their thoughts darker and darker until they are entrapped both mentally and physically by them. The bravest ones walk
into a psychiatric clinic and check themselves in. Rest, medication, conversation, and being around others is supposed to
help. And, it does. But, what our minds and bodies seem to be in dire need of is a way we can quickly replenish our
energies and a method to change our dark thoughts to positive ones.
Looking at our modern life and the advances we've made in recent years, we have witnessed many rapid advances in
science and technology. None of us can not keep up with it all. At the same time, much of our "Entertainment" depicts the
destruction of mankind and our World. While our news focuses on and glorifies small groups of people who might have
been driven to violence or rebellion. Fame, television, and notoriety seems to instantly increase their influence and power,
and magnetizes their financial resources.
The changes in science and technology, combined with Hollywood Entertainment and our News channels, cause us all a lot
of pressure, stress, and insecurity. If you were born between the 1930's and the 1980's, you have seen the world change at
least five times. We should normally have more time than ever to appreciate life. Cars, planes, computers, social media, the
internet, and automation are meant to free up much of the time that our ancestors could not enjoy. But, even though there
are still 24 hours in a day, it seems that we have even less time than ever.
It is a debatable topic to say if our ancestors enjoyed life more then than we do now. Advances we've made in medicine,
transportation, and bringing the world closer through computers, are some ways we are better off today. We live longer,
look younger, and don't have to hunt for our food. But in regards to spirituality and our connection to nature, it seems that
our ancestors were more in-tune to it than we are today. They lived closer to nature and had many more opportunities to
replenish their energies through it. Most jobs they did incorporated Nature. Normal everyday dialogue would easily include
observations of The Sun, Moon, The Stars, The Seasons, water, tides, animals, God, etc... Even a king had a vast knowledge
of Nature. Today, if we merely mention the weather in passing, people seem to get immediately bored or the conversation
soon ends after you mention it being a nice day.
For more than 99% of our human history we were very close to The Earth -- in our work, in our lives, and in our minds.
Farming, medicine, construction, and on and on involved nature, and an understanding of Nature in some way. When we
could not touch consciousness, we contemplated it through prayer, faith, and meditation. Many people, adults and
children, had to go through Sun-up to Sun-down BACK-BREAKING work days. The Sugarcane plantation, The Cotton field,
The Victorian factory, and The Cross-country Railroad are some of the situations where people endured back-breaking
work. Work that none of us could ever do today, let alone for years on end. How did they get through it all? Since we are
physically the same people (actually, bigger and taller!) now as we were then, what then was different for them mentally?
Take a moment to compare travelling to work then and travelling to work now. For our ancestors, travel was much slower.
It gave them time to ponder. The sun, rivers, the ocean, fields, trees, animals, insects, and nature both passively and
actively affected them. The power of Nature replenished their energies and naturally recharged their batteries. Today,
however, we want to go faster and travel at super-speed. This is a great advancement in our modern age!... But, also with
that comes the feelings of impatience and lack of Time. If we never re-connect with Nature or Consciousness in any way
throughout the day, then what else can we expect but to have our spiritual batteries depleted?
The mosque, the church, the temple, the synagogue, prayer, and their observations of nature also helped our ancestors to
vibrate at higher frequencies and cleanse their spiritual resources. But today, many of us have lost our connections to both
Nature and Spirituality. Rather, it is probably more correct to say that many of us don’t regularly embellish and enrich the
inner-connections we have to Nature and Spirituality. Many of us today leave our high-rise apartments in the morning, fight
rush-hour traffic to get to our highly stressful jobs, then fight traffic home, go to the gym, eat dinner, go on social media,
and finally try to get some sleep before starting it all over again the next day. Now, imagine adding children, an unloving
partner, and/or an over-demanding boss to the mix. Furthermore, we willingly keep up this rhythm while at the same time
ignoring signs our bodies give us of back pain, neck pain, insomnia, high blood pressure, and panic attacks.
Fly-by weekends and two-week summer vacations don't seem to be not enough to replenish our spirits. To do this, our
spiritual batteries need a way to get easily recharged if we are to keep burn-out and depression at bay. Perfectionism and
multi-tasking take a big toll on our reserves. We are more sensitive to stress than we care to admit. But, an important step
in self-care is to admit it... at least to ourselves. To acknowledge it before our battery runs out. When we say "I need my
walks in the forest"... "I need to sit on the beach and watch the ocean"... "I need to work in my garden"... "I need to fish"...
These are not signs of weakness you are admitting to yourself or to others, these are signs of strength and well -being.
People will positively respond to your saying this, as we all have an innate need to re-connect with nature. Sailing, mountain
hiking, kite-flying, and non-competitive skiing naturally recharge our batteries. Both introverts and extroverts alike can find
many ways to replenish their energies via Nature.
A close cousin to people who are experiencing burn-outs and depression are people who feel victimized. They blame other
people for sabotaging their lack of success or education. Even when they are well into adulthood, it is always other people
who are responsible for holding them back. They sadly look back on their Lives and seem to find no one who ever
encouraged them – even though, in reality, many might have tried. Money and opportunities that came their way are easily
forgotten and replaced by victimization. Overwhelming feelings of having always been unwanted, unloved, hated, or that
people conspired against their well-being consume their thoughts. Never does it cross their mind that it was entirely the
abuser’s own egoism and self-hate that caused them to treat the victim as they did. Never does it cross their minds that
they were just an easy target and what happened didn’t really have anything to do with them personally – The problem lied
squarely with the abuser(s). Never does it cross their mind that it is their own openness to Universal Light that triggers
these attempts from the abuser to suppress their Light. Never does it cross their minds to turn their thoughts to Nature and
Consciousness to cleanse their bodies from these darker energies that they’ve entrapped within and feed on a daily basis.
And never does it cross their minds that their constant and powerful thoughts of being victimized in the past, sets them up
for victimization in the present, and prepares them for victimization in the future.
If daily exposure to Nature, contemplation of it, meditation, and prayer saved generations of our ancestors from burn-outs
and depression think of the effects that conscious and deliberate contact to the Universe's vast resources could have. One
is a passive road to the resources of Nature and the other is an active, mindful road to the resources of Nature. Within and
around each of us is a powerful storehouse of divine energy. Thought energy that we are able to tap into. When we are
actively doing this, we become one with that storehouse of energy. When we begin to see, feel, and experience a new
Light awaken within us, it is also working in our lives. With this, our thoughts change, and our lives, health, and well -being
improve.
Burn-outs, Depressions, Victimization, and Trees
Ask someone what a tree is, and the typical answer you will get is that it is a combination of wood, bark, leaves, branches,
roots, and sometimes fruit. However, another way of looking at a tree is that it is manifested sunlight. Sunlight is the main
material trees use to grow. If tree material was the soil around and underneath the tree, then we would have no Earth in
our rainforests, parks, and gardens. We would see big, gaping holes in the ground. But no, the soil does not change, even if
the tree is a huge pine or cypress. It is sunlight that is built into every molecule a growing tree contains. Through the
process of photosynthesis, trees build their physical bodies from Light.
Let us also not forget that The Sun itself is our greatest gift from Divine consciousness. Without it, life on Earth would not
exist. Every prophet we have ever known has lived under the Sun, observed it, were nourished by it, and were inspired by
it. Our trees and forests ground the energy and intelligence of The Sun. When a tree is alive, it is in a constant flux between
The Earth, The Sun, and our atmosphere. When we walk through a forest, we become a part of this flux. When we allow
our thoughts to get intertwined between this flow of energy between the Sun, Earth, and Trees, we become spiritually
cleansed. In the same way, oceans and rivers also have a cleansing effect on our spirits.
As for trees, again... they are manifested sunlight. Subconsciously, we know that if we cut a tree and dry the wood, that
there is a potential for fire and heat. As we burn the wood, bark, roots, or branches, the popping and cracking we hear is
the encased sunlight being released.
Planting an acorn into the ground and watching it grow, we easily forget that, as it does, the ground around it does not
change at all…yet that acorn will eventually grow into a huge oak - the size of a skyscraper! The soil stays flat and ground
level. For billions of times since the beginning of vegetation, trees have used Sunlight as their primary building element.
But what about water and nutrients in the soil? Both of these are important, but sunlight is vital. Have you ever seen a tree
grow in total darkness? If water and soil nutrients were the vital elements, then how does cactus tree grow so big... and it
will even bear flowers and fruit?! Yes, water and soil nutrients are important, but sunlight is what activates it's whole
growth and vibrational processes. Again, a tree is manifested sunlight.
Our relationship to trees is well-known. Everyone knows that we breathe in oxygen and breathe out CO2. Everyone also
knows that trees take in our CO2, transform it, and then release it back into our atmosphere as oxygen. Without this
interaction with our trees, we would die. However, this is just our physical relationship with trees.
Another relationship we have with them is via their healing vibration. Trees are in constant communion with The Earth, The
Sun, and our atmosphere. From its deepest root to its highest leaf, there is a dynamic flux happening within it. In this state,
they give off a powerful vibrational force. If we let ourselves become sensitive to it, we can feel this vibrational force. We
think it is coming from the tree, but actually it is coming from The Sun. The tree acts as a receptor and transmitter of Light.
After billions of years of evolution, it is highly doubtful that this flux stops at night. Science now knows that this
photosynthetic communion transforms to a different state when it is between the tree, the Moon, and the Stars. The
available light is different, but also necessary for the tree's growth and respiration.
Beyond our Sun, Earth, and atmosphere, we see that our seasons also have a profound effect on our trees. When we think
of how budding, flowering, fruit, and harvesting coincide with the four seasons, we can surmise that trees are in constant
communion with the elements around us. They are in-tune with the highest parts of our Universal intelligence. An
intelligence around us telling them "Time to bud"... "Time to flower"... "Time to fruit"... "Time to shed your leaves"... and
"Time to hibernate". Take a walk through a forest or park during the spring or fall and you will see how dramatically trees
are in constant communion with divine consciousness. Trees are examples of manifested sunlight that listen to their
profound connection to our divine intelligence.
Many spiritual adepts, as well as several ancient religions revered trees. Merlin, for example, discussed tree spirits in his
work. Other adepts advise us to make friends with trees. One adept told me on my first meeting with him: "If you want to
have a relationship with your Divine Father in physical form, go have a relationship with a tree". Every day we walk past
these teachers as if we had nothing to learn from them. The Tree of Life and The Tree as the spine of the Universe are
some examples of how spiritualists have intertwined trees into spirituality. Looking back on our own lives, we can probably
remember a time when a favorite tree was cut down, and how we felt almost as if a friend or family member had died.
Trees are not inanimate objects. Knowing this can lead us to a higher and more direct way we can interact with these
friends…
One of the most powerful and simple ways we can directly benefit from a tree, it's example, and everything it contains is to
embrace it. To physically wrap your arms around a hundred year old tree. Hug it. Embrace it, and you will instantly feel
your spiritual batteries recharge and fill with Light! A tree is FULL of Light - Sunlight, Starlight, and Moonlight. Sun energy,
Star energy, Earth energy, Moon energy, and Divine energy are continuously flowing through it. Day and night, since its
first shoot broke through the soil, it has been constantly channeling sunlight, starlight, and moonlight. By hugging a tree,
we come into direct contact with all that a tree is and is processing. Remember too that our hands are our body’s
antennae. The fact that our fingerprints are all unique tells us that our hands are specifically designed to transmit and
receive energy and Light for our one-of-a-kind, individual body.
Those of us with burn-outs and depressions can greatly benefit from befriending a tree and hugging it two times a week.
The effects of hugging a tree lasts for days. Happiness, joy, bliss, fulfillment, replenishment, and divine energy are
guaranteed as you embrace your tree, and as it embraces you! As for people who feel victimized, the inspiration given from
trees gives them new energy and an accelerated vibration. Thoughts change and the "victim" changes. The victim gets
empowered with Light and is no longer easily manipulated. Through regularly embracing their tree, they come into direct
contact with Divine Light and an intelligence so high that no abuser can touch.
You think that you have chosen your tree, but it has also chosen you. It has spoken to you and has probably been watching
you walk past it for weeks, months, or years. Whatever tree or trees you end up choosing, there has been a connection
even before thought. Again, that tree is more in-tune to our higher intelligence than we realize. That tree "knows" that
you are about to “imprint” on it. And it is ready to imprint on you! Like our CO2, our dark energy is food for trees. They
have the ability to process it and turn it into health and nourishment that will instantly benefit us. So, go back for visits as
often as you can. Not only hug it, put your back to it, climb it, meditate under it, sit for a while with it, and talk to it. Within
seconds of your mutual imprints on each other, you will feel a HUGE difference in your being. Enrichment, empowerment,
and ecstasy will instantly revitalize you! From now on that tree will speak to you and continue to heal you… even if you
move to the other side of the world.
POSITIVE THINKING vs ABUNDANT THINKING
During the writing of this book, I spent a weekend Lille, France. I woke up Sunday morning and turned on the TV. There
was a Tele-Evangelist preaching to thousands of people in an open auditorium, and possibly millions more throughout the
world. His sermon was about praying for abundance in your Life. Needless to say, I was very curious to hear what he had
to say. Early into his sermon he started it off with a joke:
“A man was talking to God and God said ‘I want to give you a wish.
You can have anything you want. Just tell me what it is’.
The man said, ‘Well God, I have always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I am afraid of flying.
So my wish is that you would build a highway between California and Hawaii so that I could drive there’.
Then God said; ‘I’m sorry, Son, but that is impossible. I can not do it. I can not build a bridge between California
and Hawaii. You are going to have to think of something else’.
Then the man thought for a while and then said ‘Ok. Well then God, I would like to understand my wife.
I would like to understand how she thinks. Why she does the things she does. Why she acts the way she acts.
Because we have been married a long time and still I really don’t get it.
I really don’t understand my wife and I want to understand her and the way she thinks’.
After a moment, God said, ‘…Do you want two lanes or four lanes on that highway?!’.
Me and the whole congregation laughed. But after a few moments, I couldn’t help myself from comparing this “harmless”
joke to The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer. Not only the subtle misogyny, but also the fact that in this joke God is seen as
something outside of yourself. I then started to think of how “The Spiritual Tool Box” being a totally different approach to
who we are as spiritual beings. Again, the spiritual tool box is something beyond race, religion, sex, and sexuality that we
all have. Tools are there that we can use to build a better future for ourselves. I know it was only a joke, but the fact that it
was spread by a spiritual leader to millions of people in a humorous way seemed sad and misguided. Since having seen this
Tele-evangelist minister on TV, I have noticed how often stand-up comedy is used by many of them to spread their
message. Yelling, weeping, and "the gnashing of teeth" are also used often by televangelists. I was surprised once by
hearing a minister speak in front of an audience and his sermon rhymed. Anyway, to each his own. For every teacher there
is a student. For every speaker, a listener. However, I don’t recall The Master Jesus, Krishna, Mohammed, or Buddha
rhyming or gnashing their teeth during their teachings. Spontaneous joy that naturally springs forth from discourses on
Divinity is different from stand-up comedy.
As I listened to this minister’s sermon, I could not help but compare what he was saying to mere Positive Thinking. The
focus of that sermon was to tell his followers not to prophesize failure. Just tell God “I want happiness”, “God, I want a
successful business”, “God, I want you to heal me from cancer” and he will do it for you! “When you think a negative
thought, that creates the situation for it”, he warned. I did not hear much difference between his sermon and the self -help
books and websites that I have stumbled onto throughout my life. Actually, the only difference was that this pastor used
the word “God” a LOT, whereas a clinical psychologist would not.
This book is not about “Positive Thinking”. Is it about “Abundant Thinking”. There is a difference. Positive thinking is
related to thinking of something outside of yourself that you want to become, manifest, or bring into your life. Abundant
thinking is remembering who you really are, and The abundant Universal Mind we all come from. Abundant Thinking starts
from this point to bring forth more of who you already are and what you already have. Scientists, spiritualists,
psychologists, and philosophers believe that a positive thought is 100 times more powerful than a negative thought.
Scientific prayer is based on divine thought being 1000 times more powerful than a positive thought.
With positive thinking, you focus on an outer object. Part of what you are saying to yourself is "I don't have that. It is not
part of me and I want it". With abundant thinking you focus more on your inner being. You say to yourself "I will first
recognize all that I truly am, and then consciously bring forth more of the aspects of me that I want to strengthen and
empower". Positive thinking starts from what you want. Abundant thinking starts from who you are. We are all abundant
within and we exist within an abundant Universe. Without our conscious participation, we have divine intelligence
regulating our breathing, digestion, and blood circulation... you name it! It is the same Divine Intelligence that is regulating
the Earth's orbit, tides, bird migration, and Jupiter's Red spot. Many people don’t believe positive thinking will give any
results. Abundant thinking is different. Again... We are in remembrance of who, what, and where we are.
What positive thinking and abundant thinking agree on is the importance of our habitual thoughts. If your thoughts are of
the world being full of shit, then you will only see a shitty world. Your vision and thoughts will attract the shitty
things to confirm what you believe to be true. But, if more and more of your thoughts are consumed by abundance and joy,
you will attract abundant and joyous things you believe to be true. A rose has only one thought - “Sunlight!” -- It’s fragrance
is a by-product. With abundant thinking and scientific prayer, you will have one MARKED advantage over positive thinking - Divine Light! You will feel Divine Light spontaneously enter your body and elevate you. With this Light and divine thought,
we take steps in becoming active and abundant components within the Universal Mind.
Making these techniques part of your daily habits will get you through what the process might take you on… Even through
times of temporary “poverty”. In fact, true poverty or abject poverty is when you are feeling spiritually, mentally,
materialistically, and financially impoverished. The temporary poverty you may experience will NOT be true poverty, as you
will be in the process of changing your thoughts to align with the true source of cosmic abundance. Even if you wake up
tomorrow and say "I want to study Rocket Science!", you will have these techniques to get you through it or learn a great
deal from the experience. From now on.. Life is different. Your vision of the world and spiritual vibrations are already
changing, attracting abundance and joy into your life. A time of temporary financial hardship might be what is needed for
your evolution. You must be strong enough to continue the techniques with FAITH developed through HABIT and
PRACTICE. Tell yourself everyday: “What ONE ACTION can I do today that will make a difference?”. As your third eye
opens more, you might be able to anticipate potential problems heading your way. In these cases, "Deal with it before it
happens", as a Taoist would say. When you complete the task say to yourself “Yes, that will make a difference” and
visualize the positive change it is bringing into your body and your life now.
Find times in your day when you can connect with The Universal Mind. Our commutes to work, bus rides to school, and
daily meditations are obvious times we can do this. But, there are also less obvious times we can connect; digital times like
23:23, 12:12, or 6:16, spiritually inspired passwords we use on our computers, mantras and affirmations we can say during
our job duties, or daily activities that can help us instantly connect to Source. Some of us live near churches, mosques,
synagogues, and temples where bells are rung or prayers announced at certain times throughout the day. When we hear
these bells and announcements, we can use them as impulses for silent prayer, affirmations, or meditation. In Catholicism,
for example, bells ring at 8am, noon, and 6pm. In certain Yoga centers, 4am is considered an auspicious time of day, as
Divine Light is believed to hit the Earth at this time and even forest animals stir inexplicably then. They seem to be sensitive
to this time of day before sunrise.
Time can be a beautiful reminder to help us re-connect to our own divinity. As humans, our super-conscious minds respond
best to habit and stimulation. Digital times like 9:19 or 18:18 are signals of transcendence. When we casually look at our
watches or alarm clocks and see times like these displayed, it means that in that minute we are connected from our lower
selves, to our higher selves, up into our divine selves. But not only that, it also could mean that our spiritual guides and
designated angels are sending signals to us to ascend. These are minutes of beauty. Time itself becomes a tool to help us
remember our own Godliness. Again... our goal is to become an active and abundant component within The Universal
Mind. Once we are that, we can do anything.
Our thoughts, habits, and aspirations are key to becoming these active components within this thinking Universal Mind we
are in. When we watch the evening news, most of look at the stories and think "What a mess!". But, we forget that we had
a hand in creating it. Through our thoughts, globally, we've created every news story we have seen before and every one
we will see in the future. Both good and bad. Thoughts and actions have gotten us into this mess, and thoughts and
actions will get us out of it. Thought and Divine consciousness are the deepest elements within and around us. They are
what regulate our Nature, the Seasons, planets, and stars. One advantage of regular meditation is that by closing our eyes,
we open our minds to seeing our Cosmos at a deeper level. When all manifestations are blocked out, we "see" that
everything is Divine consciousness. Our Third eye sees that we are a wiggle of thought inside this vast Universal
Intelligence. "I am that I am" .
Even if you have never meditated, you have put an ice cube in a glass of water on a hot summer’s day. In this metaphor,
you are the ice cube, Divine Consciousness is the water, and meditation is the hot summer’s day. By meditating, you add
“warmth” to this system and melt the ice cube into the water.
Similar to when we fall to sleep and when we wake up, our brains go between beta waves and alpha waves. From beta
waves to alpha waves (falling asleep/ going into meditation) and from alpha waves to beta waves (waking up/ coming out
of meditation). But, unlike with sleep when we would then drift off into the deeper dream state (delta waves), with
meditation we are consciously self-inducing these changes in our brain waves. People enjoy body massages because it
produces alpha waves in their brain. In the alpha wave state we are more creative, stress-free, relaxed, harmonious,
tapped into Divine Consciousness, able to problem-solve, calm, and in tuned with our True State of Genius. As for our
health, alpha waves help our immune system, our detoxifying lymph system, and with the production of oxygen-rich blood
to flow throughout our body’s organs. Powerful times to practice five of the six steps of Scientific Prayer are as we fall
asleep, as we wake up, and during meditation.
Another way to imagine meditation is to think of a watermelon seed suspended within a glass of fluid gelatin. Yourself
being the watermelon seed and Consciousness being the gelatin. When we block out all distractions and fall into deep
meditation, there is no watermelon seed and there is no glass... There is only the gelatin (Consciousness) and the IDEA (or
thought) of the watermelon seed and of the glass. It is the idea and information within the watermelon seed (within
yourself) that has the power to activate the abundance contained within the watermelon seed and within the gelatin. And
it is through the power of our thoughts and actions that we give ourselves the potential to activate our own Universe.
Planting a seed in soil is the same. Very quickly, that seed has disappeared. A seedling with roots and leaves has taken its
place, and it begins to break through the darkness and reach for The Light. After some time and continued nourishment
with The Sun, water, and nutrients, that one seed has sprouted thousands more throughout its branches, and is able to
create a forest.
Creation Or Evolution?
One of the biggest debates between Scientists and Spiritualists is the origin of man. Did we become the humans we are now
through Creation or through Evolution? Did God create man, the world, and the Universe in six days or did we crawl out of
the oceans and evolve to this point through natural selection? Scientists believe it is ludicrous and scientifically impossible
to believe that a God could create our world in less than a week, and Spiritualists find it shocking and totally inadmissible to
say that we came from monkeys. But... there is a third side to this debate that never gets discussed or even considered. It
often gets overlooked throughout these heated discussions by people focused on their own beliefs and theories.
If you believe that God created the Universe in six days and man in his own image, then you must also accept that the
Universal Intelligence that guided this and created us must be a divinely wondrous, creatively intelligent, thinking, active
Life force existing within and around us. Conversely, if you believe that after billions of years, man evolved first as amoebas,
then into one-cell organisms, grew legs, crawled out of the ocean, became monkeys, then Neanderthals, and then became
human beings... then TOO you must also accept that the Universal Intelligence that guided this and created us must be a
divinely wondrous, creatively intelligent, thinking, active Life force existing within and around us.
It is that third forgotten factor, The Universal Intelligence or The Universal Mind, that exists on both sides of this debate. It
is from this inner realm we have with the Universal Mind that scientific prayer works to change your Life. So, for whatever
side of the argument you believe to be true - Creation or Evolution - both sides incorporate the active participation of the
Universal Life force existing within and around us.
THE WINDOW METAPHOR
Opening a window at the top floor of a tall building is a simple image you can keep in mind to remember the Six Steps of
Scientific Prayer. We all have probably done this, looked out onto a magnificent view, and felt a cool breeze of air blowing
across our face. As children we might have even made paper airplanes and thrown them from windows at this height.
Keeping the steps of this playful event in mind can be triggers in remembering all six techniques.
Take a few moments to imagine...
1. Climbing to the top of a huge, majestic tower or castle…
2. Finding a large window in the top room of that tower and cleaning it...
3. Looking through the cleaned window out onto a beautiful garden...
4. Opening the window and feeling a breeze of air blow across your face...
5. Folding a paper airplane and shooting it out the window over the garden. Watching the plane catch the breeze...
6. Being back down in the garden and having the paper plane gently land in your hand.
Re-read this window metaphor a few times.
Keep this image in mind as you read the techniques. Imagine yourself doing them -- being at the castle, climbing the tower,
opening the window, and catching the paper plane. On their own, each step contains either mind-expansion, purification,
joy, wonder, or imagination within it. However, with the techniques of scientific prayer added in each individual step, you
will magnify these elements even more.
Those of us who add regular spiritual practices to their time here on Earth can feel elements of wonder and beauty to
everything they do and experience in Life. A major aspect to each of the techniques of scientific prayer is that they all
awaken wonder and beauty within us. Beyond Race, Religion, Sex, and Sexuality, there is a “Spiritual Tool Box” inside of
every human being. We were all born with it. This Tool Box came with the package... there just wasn't a manual!
When we look within and open this Tool Box, we can use the wrenches, screwdrivers, and pliers we find there to create
abundance and joy in our lives. Abundance and joy is our natural state. Poverty and misery is not our natural state. By
learning how to use these tools, the natural state of who we are resonates with the natural state of what the Universe is.
Following these techniques, you will re-discover answers that are already within you. Fear, neglect, and ego stump our
spiritual growth. When fear and ego are a part of our spirituality, it is like we are growing a garden in the darkness. We wish
for flowers, fruit, and a variety of vegetables, but we only end up with endives. Some of the things you may re-discover are:
Methods to re-establish your connection to The Sun, our World’s greatest gift and symbol of abundance.
Seeing different religious paths not as opposing, but as complementary. Benefitting our growth.
Learning to align your thoughts to Cosmic Vibration.
The tools of vitality-warmth-magnetism-light- and electricity.
The alchemic trinity of Love, Sexual Energy, and Romance.
The tool for cleansing the physical, aqueous, fire, air, and ether of your being.
The number 12 as a symbol of perfection.
Building a stronger connection through the ether to Divine consciousness.
The tools of writing and sketching.
An appreciation of yourself as being alive, on Earth, and in human form.
Using The Fire of Abundance as a tool help inspire your abilities and manifest your desires.
Applying scientific thought to your Life, prayers, and spiritual practices.
Learning how to send your desires into consciousness and how to “bring them down”.
Becoming a master/mistress of your future.
Etc…
Even though this book is only a few pages long, I hope that it takes you years to read. It is best to read it in it's entirety a
few times, and then come back to it again and again. After you are familiar with it, you can play with it, by opening it at
random and reading the pages you find. Some parts are quite intense, and you may have to read and re-read a passage line
by line… or even word by word. Take time to absorb what a passage, a line, or a word might mean to you. The first sudden
feelings of inspiration mean that you are going "up the hill". The second ecstatic sensations you start getting more and
more often from reminders you see in the world mean that you are "at the top of the hill". The third longer lasting and
continuous feelings of joy you will experience day, night, and into your sleep mean that you are "on the other side".
Practice, practice, practice! Each scientific prayer technique also involves an “absorption time" that is important and means
you are changing perspective. Time and patience are also essential. Remember that even with the first of the first sudden
feelings of inspiration you have already become part of an extremely rare group of human beings. The more you continue
up and over the hill, the fewer human beings you will find on the other side. This rare group of people, spread throughout
the world, are alike because of their spiritual evolution, not because of their race, gender, culture, or religion. They
experience the ultimate joy, and are inspired by thoughts of Truth and Divine consciousness. So, be patient. The fact that
you are practicing and praying in new ways is momentous in and of itself. You can liken each day you are on your Quest to
Space Trajectory, when “a small difference in degree can mean a great difference over time”.
Spirit and Matter
As it is often said, man is both Matter and Spirit. We are connected to both the objective and the subjective worlds –
between the world we see and the world we sense. As for our body, we encompass our flesh and bones. As for our spirit,
we encompass the entire Universe. When we dedicate a small part of our life to learning how to build “Bridges and Roads”
throughout our Inner world... Roads between our Spirit and Matter, we see tremendous and beneficial changes in
everything we see and do. The more bridges and roads we have laid down, the happier we feel, the more joyous and
peaceful we become, the more abundant we are, and the more we are able to materialize. By using thoughts, feelings and
actions, we strengthen the link between our spiritual world of Thought and our outer world of physical matter. This book
shows you some new techniques on how to build "Bridges and Roads" throughout the vast Inner World of your Spirit. Once
these inner-infrastructures and bridges are laid down, Thoughts and inspiration are what cross them back and forth.
As children, many of us played in sandboxes. We enjoyed the endless possibilities sand could be molded into by the use of
some shovels, pails, our hands, and our own imagination. Few of us wondered what the bottom of the sandbox looked
liked. And fewer still imagined that if we dug deep enough through this material of sand, that there might possibly be a
message for us written at its bottom.
In many ways, how most of us live our lives can be compared to playing in a sandbox. The vast majority of us simply enjoy
playing in this maleable material surrounding us. A few of us wonder what is behind this material. And fewer still attempt to
dig past it to see if there are any messages we can interpret. Those of us who attempt to dig for answers, may first do so
with our hands – only to find more and more sand pouring down over our burrowing. If we are blessed, we will meet a
teacher or guide who will show us the shovels and pails we can use to help us. We are surrounded by this "sand", or
maleable material. It is easy only to see the sand around us. Dunes of sand, and nothing else. However, our spiritual
activities have the ability to not only act as shovels and pails, but also as water and glue. These help us to organize the sand
and see past it onto what is written for us at the bottom of the sandbox. After much intensive work and years of inspired
thought, we will finally see that our own specific message was within us all along.
YOUR EQUINOX JOURNAL
The Cliff
After having read what you have so far, you should not blindly believe these techniques work. Me, swimming down in the
ocean, telling you "Come on in! The water is fine!" means nothing if you are still standing up on a cliff afraid to jump.
Neither will passively reading these words, and agreeing with everything written, do you much good. That is one major and
distinct advantage that spiritual organizations and communities have over the written word. When you are surrounded by
a group of people who are following a certain practice, you more quickly begin to take on the same habits. As human
beings, we are creatures of habit and we learn by example. Self-initiative is required more when you are inspired from the
written word. However, when your own self-initiative leads you to a new habit, you can be sure that you have a rare and
immense power within you!
Action, practice, and habit put all of our inner and outer resources into play. Our bodies, thoughts, and spirits are all ignited
when we "Jump!". And even when we do jump, those first three seconds we are flying through the air will be terrifying.
There's no turning back! Once we splash down into the ocean, our body will freeze up for a minute or two. But, in that
instant, we will already be in a totally new world - vast and wondrous! Exciting and abundant! Passive reading and agreeing
will not do this for us either. Once we see this beautiful new world with our own eyes, it will totally change our perception
of life on land. Me and many others will congratulate you on your courage. You are one of the serious few who really want
to become an active and abundant component within The Universal Mind!
So, now that you’ve taken that first step, your snorkeling lessons can now begin. You will soon warm up to this new
environment. Just keep paddling, and you will be doing the California backstroke and the Australian crawl in no time.
Where Am I Now?
In all laboratory experiments, scientists use some known factor like a standard, control, or blank sample to measure the
change in what they are experimenting with. The difference between what they know before and the effects their
experiment has on their specimen is their measurement. Scientific results could not be calculated without it. There is
always a starting point that is needed. A known reference that scientists begin with, even if it is just an agar medium.
This method of "reference point - work effects - and result" is not only found in scientific laboratories. Construction sites,
cooking, getting a haircut, and even taking a shower are some things that take us through the same process. Art is another
big one! Consider for a moment, "Before and After" photographs. We all have seen "Before and After" photographs of
people and home interiors. Actually, there are three steps involved in before and after photographs. The before is the
starting point. The after is the result. And the work that was put into the make-over is the third, unseen parameter. Seeing
before and after pictures side-by-side, our eyes dart back and forth between the two, and we are often inspired to improve
our looks, weight, kitchens, or living-rooms.
Another powerful way we can consciously benefit from this method is by keeping a journal. By keeping a journal of our
progress, we do something very helpful in analyzing where we were, where we are, and where we want to go. Scientists
keep records on all of their experiments. When we do this for our own lives, we bring a new dimension and different
perspective to what we've done and what we want to achieve. We put a powerful tool into our hands. We harness time,
instead of letting our days quickly pass by.
In our Equinox Journals we can write down today's date at the top of the first page. Below that, write "WHERE AM I
NOW?". Take some time to describe where you feel you are in your life right now, the reason why or “because” of your
feelings. To reach deep into your feelings you can begin your sentences with “I”. Write about how you feel in all areas of
your Life; personally, career-wise, future outlook, financially, mentally, spiritually, and physically. Include the monetary
amounts of your debt, your savings, and any growth prospects in each area. For example, you could write "I, Jane Smith,
personally feel pretty happy most days because I have 27,000$ in saved and can finally buy a car..." or "I, Tom Robinson,
feel I have a future outlook that is pretty bleak because I hate my job, but can't afford to quit".
Take as much time as you need to do this. Go through your fears, anger, and darkest emotions. Get it all out and down on
paper. This part of the process is healing in and of itself. You are spending time consciously facing your demons and dark
entities. They have seeped into your thoughts, taken over your Life, and have helped put you into the place you are now.
We often say that Light banishes them, but fearlessness is the first step. Fearlessness will keep your mind alert and
darkness at bay. You are getting are getting all of these demons out of your body and into your journal. A journal you could
burn, if you decided to.
Once you get all of it out, write down the new thoughts and habits you plan to practice to help change your Life. Even
though you don't yet know them in detail, I have mentioned a few already in the previous pages. Look at the list below. All
of these and more you have within you. So, for this first "Where am I now?" installment, you will just have to step into the
unknown and do some free-writing* on these terms:
1. "I am an active and abundant component within The Universal Mind"
2. Allah-Om or Tao-Amen (The Eternal Field and The Cosmic Sound)
3. Om Namah Shivaya Mantra (Physical, Aqueous, Fire, Air, and Thought purifiers)
4. The Alchemic State (Changing from dust to gold)
5. The Pentacle of Akasha (Vitalitly, Warmth, Magnetism, Light, Electricity)
6. The Pentacle of Virtues (Justice, Truth, Love, Kindness, Wisdom)
7. The Red-Green-Violet Battery (The three passions of Sexual Energy, Love, and Romance)
8. The Fire of Abundance
9. Six Steps of Scientific Prayer
10. The Golden Path
11. My Spiritual Toolbox within
12. The Caduceus
13. The Sephirot
14. The Kundalini
15. The Chakras
16. Writing and Sketching
17. The Power of Water
18. Transcend, Activate, and Pray
19. Triplicity prayer
20. Divinism
Take some days to free-write on all 20 items in your journal. Research some of the unfamiliar words on your own; Words
like "Alchemy", "Sephirot", "Caduceus", "Mantra", etc.. You were born with everything listed above, and can begin to
understand the potential benefit of consciously incorporating them into your daily Life.
When you write these installments, do not write the words "Try", "Wish" or "Hope" in your statements. These words
undermine your intentions. "I will try" means "I will fail". "I wish" means "I won't have the willpower to". "I hope" means
"I won't". For example, do not write "I will try to practice the Pentacle of Virtues" or "I hope to learn what my Spiritual
Toolbox is" or even "I wish to learn about how The Chakras can help me". These statements are not strong or clear enough
to reach your subconscious and super-conscious minds. Writing, thinking, and affirming clear, concise statements takes our
thoughts all the way up to our super-conscious mind. So, instead of writing "I try", "I wish", or "I hope", write down "I am",
"I allow", or "I will" statements in your journal. These statements change your beingness, solidify your intentions, open your
heart, and build bridges between your subjective and objective worlds.
Write "I will learn about the Red-Green-Violet Battery and allow it to better my Life everyday" or "I will learn what The Fire
of Abundance is and am practicing it" or "I am an active and abundant component within The Universal Mind and allow
Divinism to function abundantly in everything I do" or "I am both The Eternal Field and The Cosmic Sound. By realizing this
within The Allah-Om Mantra, I can improve my Life daily"... Take a moment to visualize and emotionalize each of your
positive intentions after you have written it down. As you read and learn what the steps and techniques are, you will be
able to write about them in more detail in your later journal installments.
For now, you are finished with your first journal installment. In doing so, you have started the wheels turning in several
different areas of your Life simultaneously. You have analyzed where you are currently, faced the darker elements in your
Life and have gotten them out of your body and onto paper, inspired Light within yourself, and have begun building new
roads within your vast inner world. As mentioned above, scientists always begin with a starting point or blank to calculate
the results of any experiment they do. In the coming months and years, you will be able to read this first installment to
measure how much your Life has changed. Maybe you feel it already changing?
After this first "Where am I now?" installment write "3 months" with the future date underneath. Then leave several pages
blank. Then write "6 months" with the date, and then leave several pages blank. "1 year"... "2 years"... "3 years"... "5
years"... leaving several pages between each heading.
The Equinoxes
Keeping a journal is a way in which we capture Time. Here on Earth, one of the foremost aspects of Time are our four
seasons. The pinnacle point within each of the four seasons is its equinox or solstice. By following the above journal
installment process, one of most profound things you are putting into motion pertains to the cycle of the Autumn, Winter,
Spring, and Summer Equinoxes.
What you have just done with this first installment is:
You have first faced your demonic dark forces and brought them out of your body into a journal. (Autumn)
You have looked within to recognize The Universal White Light you were born with. (Winter)
You have consciously awakened many Angelic Light Forces within and around you. (Spring)
You have begun merging your Universal White Light with Angelic Light in your written "I am" statements. (Summer)
You have a plan to repeat this process. (The cyclic repetition of The Four Seasons)
As you can sense, this is very cleansing for your mind, body, and spirit. At first there is deep purification, and then there is
Abundant Light. Many rituals towards self-realization, self-actualization, and spiritual resurrection are being done and have
been done throughout history during the four equinoxes, or the four cycles of the Sun. The four seasons and four
equinoxes, represent deep significance in our spiritual lives. Ancient Mayan, Celtic, Egyptian, Christian, Jewish, Hindu,
Buddhist, Greek, Roman, and others based their calendars on The Sun and recognized its powerful forces affecting our
weather, vegetation, climate, and spirits. Celebrations in these cultures are built around The Sun. The Islamic calendar is
based on The Moon. As we know, our Moon affects the Tides, The Earth's rotation, our moods, our sleep, birth rates,
eclipses, Light, and animals. Celebrations in this culture are built around The Moon. Both types of calendars (Solar and
Lunar) recognize that we have four seasons and the different effects these seasons have on us and on Earth. As
spiritualists, we can benefit from and see the importance of both The Sun and The Moon.
From a Lunar and a Solar point of view, we can see that there is a deep significant meaning in the four seasons God has
created for us. Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Many ancient cultures felt that the four seasonal cycle that our Earth
undergoes is a struggle between darkness and light. The result of this struggle is the elixir of immortality. When we
compare, we can see that Gods, angels, demons, and heavenly places represent the same thing under a different name
throughout various ancient and current cultures. Things like the underworld, sexual energy, the sacred womb, female
energy, male energy, resurrection, self-realization, Heaven, and so forth.. are all referred to with different names, but
represent the same thing*. Most importantly, to all of these cultures, our Sun represents The Universal Force within us. At
the Winter equinox, The Universal Force within us is born (For example, a Christmas). At the Spring equinox, our Universal
Force is resurrected (At Easter, for example). At the Summer equinox, when there is the most Light on Earth, our Universal
Force ascends to merge with The Divine Source (During Midsummer, for a Solar calendar, or The Holy month of Ramadan,
for a Lunar calendar). At the Autumn equinox, our Universal force descends to the underworld to face our demons and to
overcome them.
What you have just done with this first journal installment, and all the ones hereafter, is that you have gone through each
stage of the four equinoxes. You have started the wheels turning in all of your inner equinoxes and set the cycle of The Sun
in motion within you. And now, as you learn in more detail what the six steps of Scientific Prayer are and begin to better
understand their meaning, each time you write in your journal, following this same process, you will awaken that Universal
Force more and more powerfully. You will attract more and more Light and joy into your life. A fire will burn brighter within
you. The strength, trust, and self-knowledge you evoke will become treasures you will enjoy. You will become a living
example of both The Pentacle of Akasha (Vitality, Warmth, Magnetism, Light and Electricity) and The Pentacle of Virtues
(Justice, Truth, Love, Kindness, and Wisdom). Your journal installments will be cleansing and healing your entire being with
Divine Light. But not only that, practicing the steps will simultaneously inspire abundance in your Life. And when you begin
seeing and feeling inspired abundance manifest within and around you, it will bring you even more happiness... and the
power of Light will have defeated all the darkness that has been surrounding you.
Evolved people are not the ones who know it all already. They are the ones that stop and ask themselves “Where am I
now?... Where am I going?... What am I reaching for?... What message is at the bottom of this sandbox I am digging in?”.
We evolve as we attempt to dig for answers and observe Life around us.
Some spiritual books require people to read the same passages at the same time on the same day. This book, however,
works best when you read it through a few times, and then afterwards randomly open it and read the pages or chapter you
have come upon. The part of the book you "spontaneously" open to could be something with a meaningful message for you
on that day.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
During the writing of this book, I once stayed up until 2:30 AM to watch a movie about how a young man was going to
discover a connection between Earth and Heaven. There were actors playing Angels determined to stop him from this
discovery. The young man had an angel, his mother, and two father-figures to help him during his life to unlock this secret.
Towards the end of the film, one of his fathers helped him to break into the Vatican to steal the Tablets of The Ten
Commandments. The irony of "Thou shall not steal" and the film showing the main characters stealing I guess was lost on
the actors, director, and producer! Anyway... I waited until the end of the film to see what this Gate of Light looked like and
how the tablets of The Ten Commandments was going to be used to open it. What I got - again - was a lot of Hollywood
special effects. The main character even ended up smashing the tablets on the floor! "So, how is that going to help me", I
wondered, "If he's smashed these tablets, then is this Gate between Earth and Heaven only meant for one person for the
whole history of mankind??". I guess it was just a movie.
Even though, people put a lot of belief into what they read in science fiction books and see in Hollywood films, with The Six
Steps you don't need anything to practice them! At most, you may need a pen or pencil, a few sheets of paper, a bottle of
water, a few stones, and maybe a collage of some things you want to manifest. However, even these are not necessary.
What is necessary are your thoughts and desire. Unlike in books, films and TV-shows, to practice these steps of scientific
prayer you do not need to:
- Find The cup of The Holy Grail
- Steal the tablets of The Ten Commandments
- Dig up a secret book
- Decode a hidden message on a painting
- Discover Atlantis or any other lost city
- Break into churches, synagogues, or temples
- Battle fire-breathing dragons
- Open an ancient crypt
- Rob the Vatican
- Hide from night watchmen and security guards in The Louvre
- Revitalize a mummy
- Mix a magical potion
- Fight monsters, demons, ogres, and trolls (…only your internal ones!)
- Practice witchcraft
- Be born the seventh son of a seventh son
- Kill Martians who have invaded The Earth
- Manufacture a Time Machine
- Find Noah's Ark
- Discover where a saint is buried
- Talk to the dead in a Seance
- Use bat wing, snail's tooth, or a raven's claw to cast a spell
- Decipher hieroglyphs in a pyramid
- Be beamed up into a Flying Saucer and taken away by Space Aliens
- Etc.. Etc... Etc..
None of these are necessary to evoke your True Power. None of these are necessary to awaken your True Wealth. One
person who has stolen The Cup of The Holy Grail will probably not change the world for the better for the other 5 billion of
us. Thse actions and the search for these artifacts only make for great story-telling and give actors and characters
something to do in films and novels! The actions we read about and see these characters taking are to propel a
story-line and to keep an audience hooked. They have nothing to do with the True Source we all were born with and have
access to. One of the major differences between Adventure Science-Fiction films and The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer is
that you are no longer a passive observer who is just sitting in a movie theater or on your living room couch watching actors
act out the fantasies of a screenwriter. The operative word is “fiction” in science fiction. You are watching or reading a play.
However, with The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer, you become an active participant in "The Play of Consciousness".
To work with the Six Steps and awaken the Light and abundance from that inner inexhaustible source, all we need to be
willing to do is to change our habitual thoughts. The Heart is already full of Love and Grace. The Spirit is already full of
abundance and joy. The Soul is already full of limitlessness and a direct connection to Divine Consciousness. But... it is The
Human Mind and our habitual thoughts that block our connection to them all. All we need to do is to fearlessly look
WITHIN to that limitless intelligence that helps us do everything from breathing, thinking, and digesting to building the
microchip, flying to the moon, and analyzing the stars. Changing our thoughts, changes our actions. Changing our actions,
changes our habits. When our thoughts are high, pure, and universal, our actions and habits become high, pure, and
universal. Only our thought, actions, and habits can bring permanent joy and enrichment.
We would all love to be wizards who could wave their hands and say "Alakazam!" and in a puff of smoke instantly
materialize money, a successful business, or treasures beyond our wildest dreams. These wizards are created by novelists,
playwrights, and screenwriters. Scientific prayer will not teach this. Every technique you will learn in this book will have
meaning and thought behind it, and will have meaning and thought you will be able to put into it.. Every material thing man
has manifested was first initiated from meaning and thought. What does "Abracadabra!", "Hocus Pocus!", and "Alakazam!"
mean anyway? Scientific prayer guarantees you the power, energy, and inspiration you need to manifest your desires.
These are as impressive, or more, to others who see you working tirelessly towards your goals. The power and energy they
feel they don't have - but do. The inspiration and ideas they feel they would never think of, will be more bewildering and
mesmerizing to others than "Alakazam!" or "Abracadabra!". You will have activated a power beyond magic. A power that
you will see working in your Life, and others will see working your Life in areas that you are not even aware of. A power
that does not need puffs of smoke and sparkles to impress.
We all want to be more, have more, and do more. Often when we pray it is to enhance one or more of these innately
human characteristics. We want more money, we want more health, we want a better job, or we want a bigger house.
Following these steps does not guarantee you will get the exact things you want, but it does guarantee that you will open
higher capacities within yourself to receive them, as well as actively participating in their manifestation. Among us,
prophets are good examples of how we can instill peace in our hearts and self-made millionaires are good examples of how
we achieve what we want. Neither example could have manifested their spiritual or financial wealth without work, energy,
openness, and a positive mentality. They had to have started out with a strong mind and dynamic thinking in order to make
it through all the set-backs that they had to face. For most of these people, their project and the vision of the future they
wanted for themselves was enough to give them this positive energy. The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer goes combines both
in many ways. These steps help you not only to open yourself up to abundance, but also to establish peace, radiance, and
expanded thinking into your Li fe. The attainment of wealth is not the ultimate goal. The things that are ultimately the
most valuable and precious can not be bought with money. The way we affect people with our beingness can not be paid
for. The radiance we spread to our families, friends, colleagues, and neighbors can not be purchased with a credit card.
People don’t respect your money or possessions as much as they do your radiance and how you make them feel! The
following is a list of one or more things you can expect that money can not buy.
Increased energy
Spontaneous joy
Happiness
Vitality
Improved relationships
Kindness towards self and others
An illuminated spirit
Expanded thinking
Interplanetary thoughts
Connection to Nature
A positive outlook Life
Dynamic impulses
Self-Love
Self-mastery
Moments of bliss
Increased mental health
View expansion
Spontaneous euphoria
Improved awareness
Light entering your body
Peacefulness within
Abundance
Thought control
Openness to signs
Inner radiance
A feeling of well-being
Transcendence
Insight
Increased Mind-Body connection
Selflessness
Through this new Light entering the physical and ethereal aspects of your body, you will improve your Self -Mastery. Hate,
self-hate, judgment of others, fear, anger, aggression, depression, arrogance, and ruthlessness will all gradually fall away as
they get replaced by this new Light. Doubt and worry, however, might remain in our characters for a longer time. Both
have been with us since birth. We worried in the womb, as our mothers were contracting and we were about to be born
into a new world. Up until then our lives were quite peaceful. But suddenly, our whole world was shaken and there was
nothing we could do to stop it. All we could do was worry what was happening to us and where we were headed. Once it
was all over and we were born into this new environment, we doubted if Life wasn’t better back where we were.
Even though doubt and worry are viewed negatively by most people, all of us can point to many times in our lives where
doubt or worry have protected us. They have often entered our thoughts to warn us from harming ourselves and making
fatal or financial mistakes. Our higher self sometimes uses doubt or worry to speak to us of the possibility of an impending
danger. The problem is when we doubt and worry so much that we never act. When doubt and worry never give way to
trust and reason. But, with this new Light entering your Life, doubt and worry will diminish in most aspects of your Life.
With this new Light establishing itself inside your body and mind, you are not the old you anymore. Having this, you will
learn to trust more and feel freer to act. But as always, doubt and worry will be triggered by change or fear. One or both
reappears as a sign post in times when we are about to enter The Unknown or make a huge step in our personal growth.
Looking back on our lives, we can see that we have learned some of our biggest Life lessons when doubt and worry had first
revealed themselves. But those lessons were only learned when we overcame our doubt and worry with trust, reason, and
action.
The Original Man
The concept of “The Original Man” is a mystical one. Often people look in religious books like The Koran, The Bible, The Nag
Hammadi, and the Talmud for information on where we came from and who the original men and women were. More
often than not, we base our findings either on migration patterns, DNA evidence, or skin color. Archeologists and scientists
show us proof that early humans originate from North-East Africa. Yet, in regards to The Original Man, our interest in him is
based on the color of his skin. For most people he is a black man. An African Man, from whom all the races of the world
descend – Caucasian, Asian, Latino, Arab, Black, etc… The fact that two Africans can conceive an albino child seems, for
some, to be further proof that there is a unique quality to African genes. Most people who even stop to consider this
question are satisfied with evidence based on skin pigmentation.
We have long past the point in our human evolution where we can point to a pure race or master race. In a major way, we
are all mixed and mutant. Even Adolf Hitler’s Aryan Race was a mixed culture of Nordic, Mediterranean, Dinaric, Alpine,
and East Baltic people. People who were considered totally different from each other. Cultures who not only fought
religious wars between themselves – but also fought wars between their own tribes as well as between their own cities.
Throughout these centuries of struggles, mixing occurred. So, when we consider the matter even closer, people who are
Mediterranean are a mixed culture, Nordic people are a mixed culture, East Baltic people are a mixed culture, etc... So, the
Aryan Race itself was, even at its foundation, a mix of a mix of a mix of a mix.
If we base our search for the Original Man solely on the color of his skin and geography, we might be missing a deeper
opportunity on how The Original Man can help us to spiritually evolve. How far will the knowledge of his skin color take us?
It feels satisfactorily important only to people who have felt disenfranchised, hated, stigmatized, robbed of their dignity, cut
off from their heritage, or discriminated against. To feel that all the races and nationalities come from someone who’s skin
color was similar to theirs seems to be a compensation for a Life where they have felt disempowered. The knowledge of
The Original Man being black and from Africa might appease some people in a small way. But, in regards to what he could
represent to everyone in a spiritually universal way is minute in comparison.
In fact, the True Original Man is not very difficult to find. He is as close as your nearest mirror. No matter what race you
are, he has been born and will be re-born countless times throughout the world. He is within you.
The biggest question surrounding The Original Men and Women is "Why did they migrate?". They had no enemies. They
had no other tribes to colonize. There was no trade. There was no currency. There was nothing to fear or conquer. We
assume they had enough food, shelter, and water. But at the very least, there had to have been a strong curiosity within
them to walk, sail, and explore the world. Still, the question remains, "What were they looking for and why?". What
motivate them?
We can easily envision their world as being filled with observations of Nature. Their observations of The Sun, The Moon,
The Stars, Trees, Animals, and The Seasons to them is probably comparable to television, music, libraries, the internet,
radio, and social media in our lives now. In other words, things like the cycle of the moon, tides, pregnancy, seasonal
changes, and the like most likely fascinated them and piqued their curiosity in the Divine Universe we live in. It is highly
doubtful that to change their skin pigmentation was the reason these early men and women migrated. They had no
knowledge of it. Racism was non-existent. However, Divinity and the workings of Nature had to be one of the foremost
things in their minds. They had to keep an eye on Nature and live in harmony with it in order to survive.
There are many theories as to what drove the Original Man to migrate out of Africa. However, when we vicariously
consider their surroundings, their lives, and possible thoughts and observations none of those theories measure up to a
thirst for spiritual knowledge. Furthermore, when we look at the result of this original thirst we see that the Original Man
was right in his spiritual quest. Because of his impulse to migrate for spiritual knowledge, we have developed several
different views of Divinity that The Original Man observed and lived with. Again, The Original Man is within us all. The
spiritual thirst that drove him to migrate is within us as well. We feed his hunger by opening our hearts and minds.
The goal was not to stop at a mere change in skin pigmentation. From the various lands where black, white, brown, Asian,
and Latino established, we went on to develop higher thought and various spiritual practices to better understand the
Universe we live in. What came from this migration was a vast library of the various ways we can observe God within
ourselves. Not only have we developed Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Taoism, Buddhism, and Hinduism, but there were
many ancient religions and spiritual disciplines that came before these. We have invested thousands of years to create this
spiritual library. A resource of knowledge and observations.
One day, when we finally put down our guns and start cleaning up our Earth home, we will be able to look evenly and
uncritically at the different spiritual paths in the world. Like scientists, we will be able to look at all the spiritual research we
have done and how it can best benefit us. For the Original Man within us, this accumulated knowledge is not incompatible.
Rather, it is compatible and synergistic. It is what he sought when he first got into his boat and bravely ventured across The
Red Sea.
The Big Switch!
Probably one of the major things you will find happening during your practices with the Six Steps of Scientific Prayer is what
can be called "The Big Switch!". Roughly speaking, we can often categorize our higher thought-patterns into four thoughtgroups:
1. "EGO" (including stress, work, selfishness, worry, money, doubt, anger, etc...)
2. "SEX" (including romance, flirtations, desire, etc... )
3. "HEART" (including compassion, Love, family, selflessness, etc...)
4. "SPIRIT" (including God, consciousness, spirituality, abundance, divinity, etc... )
Thoughts like what to eat, what to drink, what clothes to wear, etc... are not considered "higher" because they don't impact
our characters and actions to the same degree as the four listed above. Whatever is prominent in our minds becomes
reality in our Lives. Most of us live our lives with "EGO" or "SEX" most prominent in our daily thoughts, with "SPIRIT" and
"HEART" thoughts taking a distant third or fourth place in our minds. Sometimes, in times of worry or concern, “HEART”
thoughts regarding our family or partners take prominence. For example:
SEX
EGO
HEART
SPIRIT
EGO
SEX
SPIRIT
HEART
SEX
EGO
SPIRIT
HEART
EGO
SEX
HEART
SPIRIT
HEART (family)
EGO
SPIRIT
SEX
HEART (partner)
SPIRIT
SEX
EGO
However, when you are practicing with the Six Steps for a while, your thoughts turn to spirituality more often. Thusly, you
start to feel more compassion, Love, divinity, and Light enter your Life. These powerful qualities that you are opening your
thoughts to begin to displace your egoism, worry, doubt, and sexual desire. That is not to say that they will disappear! But
as your "HEART" and "SPIRIT" thoughts become more habitual and you start feeling Light open and enter your body, this
higher realm fills you with a different kind of intoxication. Thoughts from "EGO" and "SEX" are transmuted because of this
new Light. Your mind uses this new all-encompassing Light not to destroy "EGO" or "SEX" thoughts, but to transform them
so that their transmuted energies can help propel you to a higher realm. This is "The Big Switch!".
Through practice and your openness to Light, your thought groups will gradually switch. "HEART" and "SPIRIT" will take
prominence in your mind. For example:
HEART (compassion)
SPIRIT
EGO
SEX
SPIRIT
HEART (compassion)
SEX
EGO
HEART (selflessness)
SPIRIT
SEX
EGO
SPIRIT
HEART (compassion)
EGO
SEX
We fly much higher when "SPIRIT" and "HEART" are at the forefront in our thoughts and uppermost in our minds. We then
can propel like rockets when "EGO" and "SEX" are being transformed by Universal Light, and their new energies are used as
combustion fuel throughout our lower-resources. Whatever is prominent in our minds becomes reality in our Lives. The
daily techniques of scientific prayer will give us this newfound energy and initiate The Big Switch!
This is a beautiful point in our Lives, when four of our thought capacities are inspired by Divine Light. This does not mean
that thoughts of Sex and Ego are destroyed, they are transformed. The pathways in your mind are more open to Heart and
Spirit. You are master of your thoughts, and thusly master of your mind and master of your Life. Even when thoughts of
SEX and EGO arise, they will not be like before and you will instantly be able to switch back to Heart and Spirit.
Becoming accustomed to this new level takes a bit of time, mistakes will be made and regretful things may be said. You will
still have thoughts of sex and your ego might get out of control. So, a bit of Self-forgiveness and Self-Love at these times is
good. Rome wasn’t built in a day and no sin has been committed. The self-awareness of your misstep is, in and of itself,
part of your own self-enrichment. Just tell yourself – “I’ll do better next time”. There is one philosophical saying that can
make a lot of sense in analyzing at this point: “Does knowledge of the Truth dissolve delusion?”.
Alive, On Earth, and in Human Form
Throughout these pages, we are reminded of the blessings we receive from being alive, on Earth, and in human form. Being
born with these three we are able to make huge progress in our spiritual advancement. To progress spiritually with any
technique, we use thought. Even the thought not to use thought requires thought. We exist in a universe of thought. How
else could the Earth revolve, rotate, and spin on its axis?
We as living human beings were born with a Spiritual Tool Box. To gain access to the tools within that tool box, we use
thought and some spiritual techniques. Many meditate to try to achieve a place where there is no thought. But, where in
the universe would that place be? Perhaps for a few meditative moments we can experience the feelings of ecstasy and
joy. But, the mind is a tricky thing. It is full of thoughts, imagination, plans, dreams, ideas, and desires. Most of our time is
focused on some aspect of thinking. It is wonderful to feel these moments of ecstasy and joy, but why stop there? Why
not work with how the mind is and ways to harmonize it to how the universe is? Instead of only trying to achieve a few
thoughtless moments in deep meditation, we can also try giving the mind something to focus on when it is active. Those
moments of ecstasy will come… and last longer, because we have become proficient at tapping into divine joy when our
mind is either active or at rest.
People who are autistic, mentally handicapped, or have a chemical imbalance can also benefit from spiritual techniques. If
these people have been taught prayer by a loved one and are able to pray on their own, then there is hope that they can
develop further. Being able to pray independently partly means a person can conceptualize, imagine, feel, and love. When
a caring mother or a devoted father teaches an autistic child how to pray, the most powerful tool at work is thought. As we
will learn in the third step of scientific prayer, certain colors can be used to stimulate spiritual progress. These colors (Red,
Green, and Violet) not only help the person themselves, but also those around them who are spiritually aware of their
meaning. Remember that thought transcends physical matter. There have even been cases where someone was in a coma
and were helped via thought and prayer. So, if everyone in a room is spiritually elevated, then there will be a greater
chance for transcendence and progress.
Most mentally challenged people may find the most benefit from a basic prayer:
“God is within me. God is around me and in everything I see. Heaven is expressing it’s joy, beauty, and abundance now”.
Repeating this focuses the mind on their own Divinity, on the Now, and on the incessant activity of The Universal Mind.
Writing it down 12 times a day, as well, helps to cleanse the body, revitalize the spirit, and ground the person’s thoughts.
This basic prayer, like the first and second steps of scientific prayer, uses words to stimulate growth. Words, their meaning,
and where they take your mind to are to initiate spiritual ecstasy and awaken The White Light of the Soul. Hugging a tree
also helps tremendously in combination with this basic prayer for people who are bipolar, for example. Trees are conduits
of Sunlight, Starlight, and Moonlight. Hugging them replenishes and re-energizes the mind and spirit.
Whether we are mentally challenged or not, all these techniques help us to train our minds, heal, and tap into our own
spiritual power. Being alive, on Earth, and in human form are blessings in and of themselves, but it is our mental abilities
that we will be using and will be practicing with. These will be what we use to attune our hearts and minds to Divine
consciousness.
For the vast majority of us who can think independently, work, reason, study, calculate, and write out a sentence, we can
feel an immense gratitude to also be able to pray. Our mentally challenged brothers and sisters have it a bit more difficult.
However, we do still have our ego to overcome, which in some ways puts up a similar type of barrier. We may feel lucky
that we are not schizophrenic, bipolar, or autistic, but that does not mean that we are actively and consciously aligning our
thoughts to Divine abundance. By easily being able to calculate, study, and write out a sentence, we know that we are
using our trained mental abilities to carry out these actions. All require us to focus thought. So, if we can think, we can
pray. And if we can pray, we can improve our Lives.
Your Spiritual Bank Account
Just like when we deposit funds into a bank account, our aim is to see our resources grow and expand. Not only do we
have a physical bank account, we also have a spiritual bank account, where our investments grow and accumulate vast
benefits for ourselves.
Here are some spiritual gains you will acquire from working with The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer and investing in your spi
ritual bank account:
1. You open an account at “The Universal Bank”.
2. Your account has access to “Unlimited Resources”.
3. You add to your “Trust” fund.
4. Through your daily practice, you become inwardly “Rich” and the value of your “Stock” will rise.
5. Your “Bonds” and “Dividends” are guaranteed to increase astronomically.
WHAT NOT TO EXPECT
Many people see no use at all in spirituality. Some of the most ardent critics are people who have gone down a spiritual
path and have been disappointed by the organization or the leader itself. They then throw all spirituality into the same
basket as being a waste of time, archaic, out of date, and total nonsense. Some even write their own books or a thesis on
why none of the people in a particular spiritual book ever existed. PhD professors will tell us that these ancient books were
politically intended, written for nomadic tribes to give them an identity.
An atheist is right when he/she criticizes those of us who are spiritual or who follow a religious path. An atheist will quickly
point out that religions have caused more death and destruction than anything else in the history of man. He will point out
all the wars, murders, extremism, violence, hypocrisy, suffering, and beheadings. A spiritualist can only agree to the
atheist’s arguments, but the power he senses within him will be too strong and subtle to deter him from the joy he
experiences when meditating or praying.
Religious organizations and sects also can come under an atheist’s wrath. They see no sense in it, and suspect that the
spiritualist is either wasting their time or is ultimately setting themselves up to be duped.
Looking at our religions in this way, you can only block yourself from some valuable spiritual growth. Yes, you can find
spirituality from observing the stars and nature, but some of our ancestors have done some work before us and have had
the same questions as we do now. Why would someone write (or contribute knowledge to) The Bible, for instance? If none
of the people in it ever existed, then who wrote it and why? Why and how does The Bible, The Dhamapada, The Talmud,
The Qu’ran, The Tao Te Ching, and The Bhagavad Gita still inspire people? But, more importantly – if not most importantly,
if we are to negate all of these spiritual works and their attempts to elevate us… then what? With or without these spiritual
works, we will still be living and functioning within a conscious and intelligent Universal Mind. Our hearts will still be
beating, our blood will still be flowing, and our lungs will still be breathing without our conscious participation or effort. We
will still be living in a world where when we put an apple seed into the ground apples will grow and not oranges or rhubarb.
We will still be on a planet that rotates on its axis and revolves around the Sun. And we will still be in a Universe where the
constellations will be exactly the same as they have been since the beginning of time.
It is not nonsense to question who we are and where we are. It is senseless not to.
Yes, an atheist is right in saying that religions have caused a lot of damage and destruction in our world. But, that is one
way of looking at it. We can also choose to look at it as a gaining of spiritual knowledge. When we are evolved
intellectually and spiritually, we can look at other spiritual paths without fear or judgment. When we begin to see that
spiritual paths do not have to be competitive, but can be complementary. This is an unavoidable point that we will come to
in future generations. We will look at the beauty and immense knowledge gained in different paths - Islam, Judaism,
Buddhism, Christianity, and Hinduism for example. The ways that our ancestors tried to unravel the mysteries of The
Universe and to conceptualize who or what is behind it. Today, as has always been, we see a mutual respect and love in the
highest echelons of our spiritual organizations. We see Popes meeting with Avatars, Gurus, Rabbis, Imams, and The Dalai
Lama. Why are we not surprised by this? Why are we not shocked? I believe that the reason we are not surprised or
shocked is because at our deepest level of existence we know that all religions lead to and spring from the same place. We
can perceive that when these religious leaders are photographed sitting together, there is Love, openness, and
understanding. There is no fear, judgment, or hate in these meetings. What they are showing us is what we need to do.
And that is to bring some of that interchange of respect and openness down to where we are at.
Looking at spirituality with a darker view, we forget the many millions of us who consciously put immense amounts of Light
and love back into the Universe each second of every day. In regards to destruction and Light, our actions and spiritual
thoughts have always tipped the scales heavily towards Light. That is not being naïve or optimistic, that is just how it is. We
pray, meditate, and contemplate God and Nature. We try to do good for others. We smile and are friendly to one another.
All this and more adds Light to ourselves and others. For every one person who has been persecuted from a religious act,
there are one billion who have aspired, prayed, or performed an unselfish act. Mothers alone are powerhouses of Light. As
we will see in fifth step of scientific prayer, a positive thought is a hundred times more powerful than a negative thought.
And a divine thought is a thousand times more powerful than a positive thought.

Repentance...
Everything listed above and more can not be found in The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer. The reason why nothing in the
above list applies to The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer is because all of the steps are focused on either action, thought, divine
consciousness, or purification. The energy and divine light that enter your body will be all you need to confirm that you are
on the right track. The gifts and dramatic life changes you see coming into your world will be proof that you are operating
at a higher, more abundant level, and that you are triggering the cooperation of innumerable divine forces that exist within
and around us. Just by being alive, on Earth, and in human form, do we all have the ability to trigger these forces! These
gifts and occurrences re-affirm to ourselves that our mind is expanding and that we are being rejuvenated with Universal
Light.
During the writing of this book, I watched a program about a small group of radical Evangelical Christians. To them
everyone was going to Hell – Blacks, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Homosexuals, etc… They had a Biblical answer for every
question the interviewer asked them or every criticism he tried to get them to consider. They felt totally justified by their
interpretations of the Bible. Any inkling of their actions being hypocritical was quickly explained away. Even the children in
this community had hardened hearts and hatred towards people who did not belong to their church. This community
would stand on street corners, holding signs that would purposely offend people who drove by. They would be spit on,
honked at, flipped off with the finger, cursed at, and vandalized. However, these actions against them only seemed to
solidify their own convictions and Biblical interpretations. Radicalism is found in all religions, and even in politics and
sports.
What intrigued me most about this documentary was not the fact that these people had been obviously biased towards
hate by their Church Leader, but more so the path that he had led them to. Their church leader ignored that Jesus Christ
was first and foremost a man of peace. A man of joy. A man of compassion. A man of Divinity. A man of miracles. And a
man of Grace. The few times in his Life when he was ridiculed or persecuted was not because he had purposely instigated
hate. The misunderstanding laid with the persecutors. Still, even then, Jesus showed the highest compassion when he said
"Forgive them Father for they know not what they do". The Master Jesus was all about Love... Unconditional Love for all.
His focus was on being an example of Joy and Divine Light, not on the judgment of others. Examples of Joy and Divine Light
that he saw as potentially within us all. However, people today are quick to say "You are going to burn in Hell for that!".
How can you judge, condemn, and criticize someone else and be an example of Joy and Divine Light yourself? Doing that
shows that darkness and hate are still in your mind and spirit. You haven't yet yourself fully cleansed them out of your own
aura. Telling someone that when they die, they are going to go to Hell is a great way to keep them in check. It is the
ultimate tool to manipulate and brainwash individuals or groups, as it involves the Unknown and the Afterlife. It only takes
a few times of saying it to a weaker or younger spirit, and seeing that person attempt to change, that it becomes a habit
you start repeating. However, weaker spirits can become strong and younger spirits can mature. When these people start
coming into regular contact with The Eternal Field of Divine Joyous Abundance, their former persecutors will lose their
power. When they can consciously tap into Universal consciousness, their former persecutors will sense a huge change in
them and go look for other victims to victimize. When they start seeing and feeling that they are consciously becoming
active and abundant components within the Universal Mind, their thoughts have changed and they are no longer easy prey
for these vultures.
Atheists are right in saying that religion has caused more death and destruction than anything else in human history. Even
two religious groups reading from the same spiritual book have killed and tortured millions. However, the atheist only sees
the destructive results our human minds have applied to religion. The atheist forgets the immense spiritual knowledge
mankind has gained, or has attempted to gain, through trying to unlock what The Universal consciousness is - and our role
in it. The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer is not a new religion, a new doctrine, or a new sect. This is not necessary, because
with the steps we are merely waking up an un-used part of ourselves that is already there. Once it is awoken, we keep
tapping into it through regular practice and our remembrance of it. We come to a place where The Universal Mind itself
becomes our church, our temple, and our synagogue.
All religions practice prayer. It is a spiritual, thought-induced, communion with God. All cultures have progressed through
scientific thought. Not only in the many examples in Greek, Roman, Jewish, American, Asian, African, Egyptian, Indian,
European, and the Islamic introduction of zero did scientific thought benefit us, but also farming, fishing, hunting, shipmaking, irrigation, celestial-navigation, etc... as well involved scientific thinking.
Whatever our faith, religion, or spiritual practice may be or may have been, at its deepest meaning, it shows that we aspire
to an inspired Life. For us to have acted and to have gone to any religious place or person shows that at our deepest level
we are open to Universal Light. And if we are fortunate enough to have visited several places of various faiths, this shows
us that that Light within us is vast and powerful. However, being so immense, this Light can also make us vulnerable. So
called spiritual leaders can sense it, feel it, pick up on it, and manipulate it. We must remember that our goal is not to sit at
the feet of this spiritual leader until the day we die. They can probably help and guide us for a while, but our ultimate help
and guidance will come from a realm beyond their reach. By always keeping one eye on our inner Light and the other eye
on our final goal, we will more quickly evolve. That is why the shortest path to the highest in ourselves is best.
The Universal Light, in all of its wonder, can also make us naïve and blind. In our thirst for Divinity, we are liable to throw
ourselves head-first into anything anyone is saying new to us about spirituality. Self-actualization and discrimination help
to keep our feet on the ground. Self-Love and Self-forgiveness are often needed as well as we progress and inevitably make
mistakes. Both are useful if we have gone down a spiritual road and later come to realize that that path was filled with
many of the things and situations listed above. Forgiveness and Love FOR OURSELVES will mean that we had our own
highest and best intentions at heart.
A spiritual path and a spiritual guide is not hard to find. The world is full of them! There are hundreds of people who have
opened spiritual centers and retreats. Thousands who have written books and articles on spirituality. And millions who
have done neither, yet are full of spiritual advice. The idea is not new. Even ancient Tribal Leaders, medicine men, Roman
Emperors, Kings, and Queens were considered spiritual guides in their day. Greek myths are filled with anecdotes between
a Spiritual guide and a pupil. Not much has changed. However, what is hard to find is an enlightened guide that will point
us in the direction of spiritual knowledge, growth, abundance, God, and ultimately… independence.
With anyone anywhere on any path we follow, it will help us to remember that just by being alive, on Earth, and in human
form were we already born with the capacity to tap into Divinity. An enlightened guide will give us techniques in
meditation and prayer to harness our thoughts. Why? Because everything follows the mind. When our mind is both at
peace and inspired, we can achieve great things. None of this is for a select few, or one… It is for all of us. We were all born
with numerous possibilities and spiritual dimensions. These all came with the package of a human body and were triggered
when we took our first breath.
Should we feel we really need a guide, make sure he or she is the best we can find! Metaphorically speaking, the best
guides are like the best dentists. They teach you how to brush, floss, and warn you of smoking, drugs, and too much sugar,
alcohol, and coffee. By following their techniques every day, you avoid cavities and having your teeth fall out. Then when
you go in for your yearly check-up, they see for themselves that you have been following their advice.
Again… finding a guide is a very easy thing to do, but finding an inspired and enlightened guide is a very hard thing to do.
Most times, none of us has consciously done anything when we meet an enlightened guide. Because of our spiritual work,
thoughts, and faith from previous lives, these habits have been imprinted into our Soul. It compels us to continue our work
and spiritual journey in this life. If we were fortunate enough to have worked closely to an enlightened guide in a previous
life, we will surely re-encounter an enlightened guide in this Life. Through a series of circumstances, these past actions and
strong faith magnetically pull us towards the guides who can help us continue our spiritual journey.
When we pray, meditate, do spiritual work, or perform rituals we are creating a “Sowing and Reaping” universal code
system for ourselves through thought. Karma is both the work we put into this system (the sowing) and the experiences we
get as a result of that work (the reaping). Looking back on the serendipity and coincidental series of events that have lead
us to our guides or pivotal people in our lives shows us that our self-made code system is at work. People who doubt if
karma exists have probably not yet re-encountered their enlightened guide and felt the immense joy that that brings.
Being born in a certain country, or into a certain family or community, will probably be the start of our spiritual journey.
However, when we are older, nothing can stop us from enhancing our spiritual knowledge and divine experiences. As
adults who are consciously looking for spiritual guidance, we can be more mindful of our choices. One very simple mindful
test we can do before we totally throw our whole hearts into a guide is to see if he or she reminds us of our oneness with
God. Do they say these seven words? – “You don’t need me. You have God!”. If they say this, it will tell you where THEIR
mind is ultimately at. Give them five sermons, satsangs, lectures, discourses, or speeches. Listen very carefully for these
words during their probation time. If in the five times that you have gone to their center they have not said in some way,
shape, or form that “You don’t need me. You have God and can become one with all that he is”… RUN! An enlightened
guide’s greatest wish is that you also come to enjoy the beauty and divine elixir he or she experiences.
In regards to finding a guide that is truly inspired by and can function as a channel for Divine Light, there is a big difference
between hearing one say “I am God” and hearing one say “I am one with God”. A subtle difference, but a big one! One
statement is unrealistic, while the other is probable. That is another little test you can listen for during their probation.
One of the history’s greatest masters says it twice in The Bible – “The Father and I are one” (John 10:30 and John 17:21).
Religious organizations with a spiritual leader or hierarchy can often and unavoidably create jealousy among its members.
Whatsmore, members who are perceived to be in the “inner circle” or closer to the guide can feel that they are part of the
chosen few or the elite. Egoism can sour our purpose for being there to the point where we either quit going or stay and
rise above our pride, seeing that we are there for God. To realize our oneness with Divine consciousness. False prophets,
radicalization, and religious hierarchy are some of the things atheists inadvertently warn us of in regards to religious
organizations. However, a true adept will keep our eyes firmly fixed on our oneness with God and ways to slowly dissolve
the slim distances between ourselves, our thoughts, and our own Divinity.
Everything in the above list contains a degree of darkness. However, we can use The Universal Mind itself as our church,
our mosque, and our synagogue. In doing so, we practice faith and enlighten our hearts in the purest and highest temple
there is. The spontaneous Light and energy entering our body through our daily practice is itself the confirmation of our
progress. As Divinity itself is part of who we are already, the habits we develop awaken this Light even further. The Light,
Shaktipat, and The Holy Ghost within us are more powerfully activated. Spontaneously, our compassion, joy, friendliness,
abundance, and respect for others are triggered. We not only have a caring mother and a loving father, but also a loyal
friend when The activated Universal Mind is in our lives.
The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer are both profound and powerful, but basically, they simply help us to change two things in
our daily thoughts. To first is to help us remember that we live and function within a divine Universal Mind. A Universal
Mind that is intelligent, thinking, and orderly of its own accord – yet also responsive to thoughts and actions to those active
inside of it. When we become consciously aware that we function in a conscious Universe, we become powerful beings.
Many of us have already touched the exalted responses we can receive within our Universe. As has been said before, if we
are to ask an Evangelist singing “Amen” in a church, a Muslim shouting “Allah!” from a minaret, and a Yogi chanting “Om” in
an ashram to describe what they FEEL, they would all say the same thing… “Joy!”.
The second thing we learn from the Six Steps of Scientific Prayer, is that we learn to harness our own thoughts and actions.
First how to purify and energize our bodily vessels, and then how to initiate abundance, peace, and joy in our lives. We
learn how to become active and abundant components within this Universal Mind we live and function in. The Universal
Mind, though invisible, is our ultimate power source. The same Universal Mind that we can see has thought, order, and
reliability as some of its basic elements when we contemplate Nature or the rotation of the Earth. The same Universal
Mind that exists within us, around us, and extends to the farthest, outermost reaches of our Cosmos.
Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience vs Wealth Consciousness, Sexual Energy as a Tool, and The Sixth Sense
Many spiritual practices teach that the only way to practice spirituality is through poverty, chastity, and obedience to a
religious doctrine. That is the way that our major religions teach and that the majority of people follow. Of course, poverty
and chastity is a viable path to our infinite Source. However, our all-loving God is unlimited. No two people have reached
oneness with our Father-Mother God in the exact same way. Each human being is divinely unique. In the entire history of
humanity, no one who has ever been born was exactly like you, and no one who ever will be born will be exactly like you.
You are uniquely you. You are an original masterpiece, created by Divine intelligence.
Each flower, each snowflake, each rock, and even each blade of grass is also an original masterpiece created by Divine
intelligence. For each, there has never been one before, or will ever be after, exactly the same. Abundance is a basic factor
in the Nature of our God. We can not begin to conceptualize what God is without factoring in unlimited abundance.
Unfortunately, most of us follow the path of poverty by forgetting that our Universal God is abundant. Self -denial seems to
be the way this path is taught. Blocking off or rejecting any good that the Universe blesses us with is considered pure and
spiritual. To suffer hardship and constantly remind ourselves that we are sinners is considered beneficial to our Soul.
However, my question is, since God is abundant in nature, how could his Light and benevolence establish themselves in our
spirits and souls if we constantly block and reject them?
Perhaps poverty could be seen in a new Light? A poverty that eliminates all the unlimited, abundant manifestations of our
Universe to experiencing the one single realm of their source. Looking at “poverty” in this way opens our spirit. Some
Indian yogis use a different method to come to this same abundant, eternal realm - They themselves “Not this”… “Not
that”… when looking at the world and Universe around them. Whatever way you use, when you touch our abundant
consciousness you sense your spirit open. By opening our spirits, we open up even more paths to reach the all-loving and
all-knowing Godhead.
The path of poverty, chastity, and obedience to a religious doctrine will perfectly fit some of us at the point of where we are
on our spiritual journey, but it can not and will not fit all of us. This path will help them tremendously in their spiritual
growth. These faithful men and women have attained much in their past lives and are here to learn the many lessons
gained from poverty, chastity, and obedience. To be sure, if the fit is right and timely, God's love will shine brightly on them
as they make their steps on this path.
In our limitless Universe, we often overlook the fact that we also live in a World of Duality; Male-Female, Light-Dark, UpDown, Life-Death, Heaven-Hell, In-Out, Action-Reaction, Love-Hate, Sowing-Reaping, Hot-Cold, Left-Right, etc.. This means
that many objects, factors, and elements exist in opposites, or in counterpart. As conscious spiritual beings, the realm of
duality gives us choices. When we have knowledge, openness, and choice, we can choose a path that is right for us in this
unlimited consciousness we operate in. So, from a duality standpoint, if there is a path of poverty, there must also be a
path of wealth. If there is a path of chastity, there must also be a path of sexual energy. If there is a path of where we are
obedient to a religious doctrine outside of ourselves, there must also be a path to where we are obedient to the sixth sense
within ourselves.
Actually, whenever we discover a duality, there is always something higher. A place where both sides converge. The
techniques in this book attempt to explore the paths of wealth, the use of sexual energy to create abundance, and to help
develop the sixth sense. These paths direct and align our thoughts to the Universe’s natural state. With scientific prayer,
we are working with the sexual, pro-creative ENERGY... not the sexual act.
All energy is power - Wind, Solar, Thermal, Aquatic, Electrical, Thought, Gravitational, etc.. For instance, when we want
the electric power that naturally exists in The Universe to benefit our lives, we hire an electrician to come into our home to
wire them so that we can easily switch on the lights, heat our rooms, turn on our TV's, and cook our food. This natural
energy gets tapped into and re-directed into a wiring system throughout our home. We can do the same "tapping into" and
"re-wiring" with the sexual energy seated within our Red Chakra. Sexual energy, or pro-creative energy, is a natural power
within and around us. We see it in the billions of cell divisions happening each and every minute within our bodies. We see
it in tree pollen. We see it in the mating rituals and courtship behavior of birds, animals, our pets, and among pigeons on
our city streets. We see it in the birth of stars and galaxies. Pro-creative energy or sexual energy is a basic element in our
incessantly active Universe.
In regards to the pro-creative energy, or sexual energy, we feel within, there are 3 choices we can make:
•
•
•
Suppress it, resist it, or try to ignore it when it surfaces.
Indulge it, let it run wild, or lead us to self-endangerment.
Direct it, channel it through us, or use it to empower and transform ourselves spiritually.
All of our religions tell us that we should suppress and resist it until we can indulge it with our spouses, and that prayer will
help us to channel it. This is fine if we are consciously aware of the immense power of pro-creative energy and of what we
are practicing with it. However, sexual energy is not just limited to our physical bodies. Again, we observe it within our
cells, the stars, tree pollen, and in the mating courtships between pigeons on the street. We can step into a technique that
utilizes sexual energy beyond our physical bodies. It is a Universal power, and we can use our thoughts to work with it not
only in an inter-cellular way, but also in an inter-planetary way. We as human beings can learn to harness our sexual energy
and transform it into spiritual power. The third step of scientific prayer will teach us just that.
Suppression of wealth into poverty, sexual energy into chastity, and a trusting of our sixth sense into obedience of a
religious doctrine, is surely the right path for some men and women, but not all. God's natural state is wealth, abundance,
sexual energy, thought, and inspiration. Our natural state is the same. These factors resonate with us and we resonate
with them. They work in synergy. We slowly come to the point where they merge and you can not distinguish one from
the other -- abundance morphs into inspiration, sexual energy morphs into wealth consciousness, thought morphs into
divinity, and vice versa...
As you work with The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer, your spiritual knowledge and self-awareness will grow - so too will your
sixth sense. The sixth sense or super-conscious mind is the part of ourselves that we learn to listen to more often. It speaks
to us and advises us with information far beyond our own knowledge or conscious minds. When we start regularly
vibrating at higher frequencies, we can feel and emotionalize the knowledge our sixth sense sends us. We experience it as
an inner voice or a hunch. It inspires us to take courageous steps out of our comfort zone. When these steps change us
and help us grow in kindness or knowledge, we can be sure that is was our sixth sense.
At odd times of the day and night our sixth sense can give us answers to problems in our lives. It is up to our conscious
minds to capture this advice by recording it (onto tape or paper) and eventually following it.
The sixth sense is often underdeveloped and mistrusted by most of us, but it is a part of ourselves that can help bring us
beauty, abundance, experience, and knowledge. Even a small gesture that might seem unimportant to us could mean a
life-changing difference to another person and many others. I remember reading an article about the actor Ronn Moss, a
famous daytime Soap opera actor. When he was a teenager, he had the chance to meet the singer Joni Mitchell backstage
after one of her concerts. He was very excited to meet her and brought her a single rose. The moment he had the courage
to walk up to her to give her his rose, another person came between them with a huge bouquet of roses. He was
embarrassed and was about to walk away, but Ms. Mitchell saw him and his rose and went up to him, smiled, and said "Is
this for me?". He said yes and gave it to her, beaming as he did. They talked for a moment, and that was their one
encounter. For the young Mr. Moss that one encounter changed his life and the way he would eventually treat the millions
fans he had later in life. In the article, he said that it showed him how to treat others with kindness and respect. Examining
this story, we can see the super-conscious mind at play. We see it first in Mr. Ross who was inspired to go to a Joni Mitchell
concert, bring Ms. Mitchell a rose, and through a play of coincidences have the opportunity to bring it backstage. Then we
see it in Ms. Mitchell, who was inspired by kindness, listened to and followed her inner voice saying to "take that rose". A
few innocent simple actions that had a profound effect not only Mr. Moss, but also on millions of others.
We have a choice between egoism, altruism, and divinism. In other words, between selfishness, selflessness, and The Self.
Between the actions where I help myself, the actions where I help others, or the thoughts that have me align my heart and
mind with Divine Consciousness. In all of our major religions, we are warned against egoism and encouraged to practice
altruism. It is helping others through our service, thoughts, and money. We are encouraged to think of the welfare of
others. This is to awaken empathy, happiness, and peace. However, there are three aspects to altruism – The first is in the
home, a relationship, marriage, or family. The second is in our workplace, in our humanitarian activities, and in the world.
And the third is in our friendships and associations.
Altruism in an intimate relationship like marriage or family works well with non-violent communication. That is, when we
are brave enough to listen to our loved ones and ask “What needs do you have that are not being met?”. The psychologist
Marshall Rosenberg, famous for using puppets in his speeches, has said that people are really saying one of two things –
“Please” or “Thank You”. When people speak in judgment, criticisms, gratitude, complaints, disappointments, accusations,
or appreciation, behind what they are saying about what you have done is either a “Please” (I have a need that needs to be
fulfilled) or a “Thank You” (There was a need I had that has been fulfilled). When we communicate on the level of needs
and hear the answers with open ears, this takes us to a human, humane, and empathetic level of understanding with
others. This soothes our passions, calms our reactions, and quiets our mind. This is practicing altruism in our daily lives.
After hearing their needs, if we actively and compassionately take steps to help them improve their situation and they take
active and compassionate steps to help us improve ours, we better our home environment in many ways.
However, altruism in the workplace and in our humanitarian activities is different. We are not as emotionally invested as
we are in a marriage or when it is a parent. Yes, we can see that our colleagues and bosses are also Divine beings with
Spiritual Toolboxes, but they may not aware of it. They may only be interested in getting a check, competing with you, and
climbing a social ladder. Altruism in the workplace forces us to be stronger and independent in many more ways than
altruism in the home does. In the workplace, we might be forced into situations where we have to use stronger weapons
for our own sanity. Assertiveness, fearlessness, and detachment, being a few. One of my soft-spoken friends was being
verbally abused by her immediate superior behind their boss’s back. This abuse went on behind closed doors. It thrived
there, and my friend would come home crying. She told me about it and I suggested to her to assertively speak about it in
the boss’s presence. Not to ask for a meeting, just to pick a time when everyone was in the same room to expose it. The
abusive superior’s biggest fear is exposure and embarrassment. I have done this myself and found it totally changed my
work environment. It says to the abuser you are fearless and shines a big Light on the abuse done in the shadows.
Altruism in friendships fall somewhere between. Friends and associates always have the option of listening to you either
with Love and understanding or with detachment. You are normally not living with your friends. You are not sharing a
home with them. You are not connected by blood or marriage. So, altruism in these situations can go either way.
However, with altruism, we don’t have our thoughts on who we really are as universal and abundant beings. Divinism helps
altruism to work better. With Divinism our presence and beingness help others. Even thoughts and memories of us can be
beneficial. With altruism our words and actions help others. How many times have you read an inspiring sentence or
phrase someone has said without ever having met the person yourself? How many items around us benefit our lives from
the actions of another person… even of people who have died long ago?
From the richest oil tycoon to the poorest street vagabond, we are all alive, on Earth, and in Human form. We all have a
Spiritual Toolbox within us and available to us. The many tools within that Toolbox can help us build a better future. When
we were born, that Toolbox was in the package... we just didn’t come with a manual.
In altruism, you have the helper and the helped. Those who are helped feel a tangible benefit, but it depends on the time
and effort put into it by both the helper and the helped. If the helper puts a short amount of time into helping, then the
helped often feels a short-term benefit. This is because a change of actions and thoughts have not been given enough time
to become new habits. If the helper puts a longer amount of time into helping, then the helped feels a longer -term
benefit. More time has been invested, and new habits have become daily actions. When the help stops too soon, the
helped are often quickly dissatisfied by the help that was offered. And if it appears that the helped were abandoned by the
helpers, then soon resentment, anger, and old habits re-emerge. A new society has to be re-built on its own, where
everyone’s thoughts are based on resentment, mistrust, and old habits. Leaders and citizens living in regions where this
mindset prevails can only create new societies where inequality is rife.
In altruism, all this happens because men are relying on men. Yes, we can point to many examples where extreme poverty
in the World has been reduced, infant death has diminished, roads have been built, running water has been restored, and
schools have been reopened. New advances in medicine, technology, and engineering have done a lot of good in the world,
costing us all less than 1% of our global economy. These advancements are leading more and more people towards a new
world middle-class. A place where more people are educated, employed, fed, and sheltered. However, at the same time,
science undercuts this progress with grave predictions for our future. With just global warming alone, we are told that by
2100 “London will disappear”, “Paris will be flooded”, “Holland will be under water!”, “Half of Florida will be covered”, and
“New Orleans will be gone!”. Psychologically, this evokes a lot of insecurity and fear for everyone hearing or reading this.
Then we are surprised that people are less altruistic and humanitarian. How can we be when we are worried about our
own immediate future?
As we are consciously taking steps to help save our planet and clean up our environment, we can do so in a way that is not
done on the foundation of fear. What altruism and humanitarian aid does globally, we do individually when we take steps
towards our own Self-Actualization and Self-Realization. When we use Self-Actualization to improve our livelihoods and
options in education, food, work, and finance, we are acting as humanitarians for ourselves. The Self-Actualization process,
whether as a humanitarian or a spiritualist, is important and good, but Self-Realization is different. At this stage of actively
practicing Self-Actualization or altruism, we focus on improving our own or another person’s basic needs and possibilities.
Most importantly, our actions are imbued with Light, thought, and consciousness. When there is no Light, we focus on the
gift or the giving, and often forget the Giver. The Universal Giver from whence all physical matter rise. We do not take into
account the building of our own connection to the abundant Divine consciousness that is intertwined throughout SelfRealization techniques.
Unlimited, abundant help comes to us only from The Self. Altruism can do a temporary good, but when helpers can show
the helped ways to tap into their own Divine abundance, then real help and guidance is being done. A real and permanent
change is possible. As the helper or the helped, when we work and put our thoughts on The Self, we become "utilized" by
The Self. When this becomes habit, we naturally become spontaneous helpers in all areas of our life - not only when we are
acting as volunteers or humanitarians. In divinism, our actions go beyond happiness and into the realm of Pure Joy. In this
state, our thoughts and acts of kindness have multi-faceted effects on ourselves and on others, rather than merely on the
things we are performing at a certain moment. Again, helping others does a temporary good, but when we help others
awaken their truest nature - then The Universal Helper, God, will lead them to True Wealth, abundance, and self-reliance.
Working with the six steps, your sixth sense will become much more active. It will help you to connect to higher realms
within yourself and bring light into and around your being. It is beyond the 5 senses of touch, smell, sight, hearing, and
taste. The sixth sense can elevate consciousness because it comes from a higher realm of consciousness. It will guide us to
our path in Life and help us manifest our desires. Our desires will maybe not manifest in the way we had originally
planned... but, opportunities will start unfolding before us. Even though we are not all destined to become multi billionaires, we do all possess the ability to tap into the source of True Wealth. We all have a Sixth Sense and can spark our
own inner "Fire of Abundance". Even by simply repeating "The Fire of Abundance" to yourself over and over will awaken
immense power within and around you. During the sixth step of scientific prayer, we will learn more about The Fire of
Abundance, and some examples of famous artists and politicians who achieved great things with it.
When we have a highly developed sixth sense, we learn how to consciously work with Mind, Thought and the Ether. All
three are interconnected and can be tapped into through the help of our sixth sense. Once we begin seeing our desires
materialize, we know that we are becoming “Masters/Mistresses of our own destinies”.
WHAT SCIENTIFIC PRAYER CAN’T GIVE YOU
Life can take us through both good and bad experiences. Even though we know better, millions of us willingly participate in
unhealthy activities. Take a look at the list below and see if you can think of the one thing in common:

The common thread in all of these activities is that in many ways they fulfill our basic need for human contact. Yes, there
are other reasons attached for doing them… but, at the root of each is that they all take us into a closer environment with
another person or other people. All of them temporarily take away our loneliness.
Although truly wonderful in its effects, Scientific Prayer, like all spiritual practices, is focused to enriching our spiritual
world. Of course, this is great and empowers all of our thoughts and actions. But, we are both Spirit and Matter. Spiritual
contact with Divinity helps to fulfill our spiritual needs… but, we also need physical contact with other people to help fulfill
our physical needs.
From the supermodel to the elephant man, we all have a basic need for human contact. We are not robots. Here again, we
come back to drugs. When we are unconscious of this strong need we have, we tend to suppress it with drugs, alcohol, too
much television, sex, overeating, overwork, and greed. We go to drastic lengths in order not to feel alone.
Human Contact In Bad Relationships
It is not that we just want human contact, we want contacts with other humans that is non-judgmental and non-critical.
We are looking to be respected, valued, and have our opinions heard. If we can find friends and acquaintances where we
learn, grown, and exchange intellectual ideas, that is great! But often, just being in the company of other people is enough.
We put ourselves out there in the hopes that some of the contacts we make are enriching.
Why do many people continue too long in bad marriages, toxic friendships, and abusive relationships? One reason may be
is that even in these destructive relationships our strong physical need for human contact is being met. Our minds,
thoughts, and attitudes adjust even in these painful situations to where we can reason them into acceptance and habit.
The bottom line is, we need social contact. The worst part of any prison is not confinement, but isolating confinement. A
threat of being totally cut off from the world and any human contact. People placed in these cells have found sanity from
befriending rats, mice, cockroaches, and insects. Even The Birdman Of Alcatraz befriended pigeons to fill his need for social
contact.
We are not machines. We are human BE-ings. We need warm interactions with others for our mental survival.
Dopamine
Dopamine is the pleasure hormone our brain produces. This is produced in many ways:









Spiritually
Sexually
Drug induced
Stimuli from gambling
Physical workouts
Shopping
Buying
Selling
Money
Even hearing the “bleep” on our cell phones or “You’ve got mail!” from our computers will trigger shots of dopamine in our
brains. Playing games on-line or via apps on our iPhones produces dopamine. At the root of addiction is dopamine
addiction.
However, the best outer dopamine stimulants are out interactions with other human beings. A smile, an act of kindness, a
hand on our shoulder, a compliment, a hand shake, holding hands, a hug, and a friendly word can give us shots of dopamine
for YEARS – in the specific moment we receive it, and in our memories of it after. Sex is one of the strongest dopamine
stimulants there is! Everything, from A to Z, pertaining to sex with another person produces dopamine in our brains. Even
in bad sex we’ve gotten a few hits.
Me, You, And Our Spiritual Umbilical Cord
The Six Steps Of Scientific Prayer can and will stimulate you spiritually. These steps greatly enrich and enhance every aspect
of your Life. They can and will lead you to new experiences both in your inner world and outer world. But, they can not
give you instant, new human contacts. They can not instantly materialize a sympathetic human being that will sense all of
our physical needs. We might still experience loneliness even though our thoughts and actions are being consciously
inspired with Divine Light. We must allow time to attract people to us who resonate with our new energy.
However, there is A LOT we can do in regards to the contacts and relations we have now. We can enrich them as we
ourselves become enriched. We can become conscious of not only the other person, but also the CONNECTION between
ourselves and them. We have thousands of “spiritual umbilical cords”. Some of us have millions. Unbeknownst to us, our
close friends, family, and co-workers sense we are changing. Our wives, husbands, and lovers are our closest witnesses to
our transformation. “Commune”-ication whether physical, verbal, or spiritual helps us to “touch base” with one another.
To enhance our relationships and satisfy our need for human contact, we can do it either in a physical way or in a spiritual
way. In other words, we can choose to use consensual physical actions to stimulate our connection with others or we can
use thought to activate Light within the spiritual umbilical cord between ourselves and others. Some examples of both are:

SCIENCE AND PRAYER
Webster's New Dictionary defines 'Science' as the "knowledge ascertained by observation and experiment, critically tested,
systematized, and (then) brought under general principles". It goes on further to describe science as being a "skill or
technique". When we look up the word 'Pray' or 'Prayer', Webster's defines it as "to ask earnestly" and "to speak and make
known one's desires to God"..."to implore reverently, as in worship"... "a solemn giving of thanks and praise to God"..."a
putting forward of requests"..."devotional services"...
Thought is behind both science and prayer. Without thought, neither science nor prayer could exist - or anything else for
that matter. All three create a trinity. From his or her most simple routine tasks to their most complex theories, the
scientist first looks to develop a "working system". We should remember that the Universe is FULL of systems; The
respiratory system, the circulatory system, The Solar System, The weather system, The Cycle of Life, etc.. The primary work
of a scientist is to develop a smaller system to help him analyze the larger system. Give a scientist analyzing fertilizer 100
different samples from 100 different plants and her first impulse is to develop a working system to do it.
Many other professions also use this way of scientific analysis. We all have it within us and call on it to help us solve
problems, analyze, and create. But, a scientist has developed it to its highest degree. However, we only use it in our jobs or
around our homes. We all can develop a smaller, scientific working system for the largest working system of all -- The
Universe, itself. It is through thought that we can use scientific analysis to improve our prayers. Though scientific skill and
practice, we can focus our prayers more directly. We are already practicing science and prayer when we pray for something
and then look for its manifestation in our lives. We have asked for something in earnest from God and then, in our lives, we
observe for its result. If the result is not yet what we had desired, we've gained knowledge to use to re-focus our next
prayer. However, one thing we are sure of is that we were heard.
Scientists do this every day with samples they analyze in laboratories. Thomas Edison and George Washington Carver are
good examples of how scientists use experiments and observation in their pursuit for knowledge and results. As
spiritualists, we are able to do this to sharpen our thoughts and prayers.
In every measurable scientific experiment there are a number of parameters or analytical factors. When a scientist does
not get the result he or she was expecting, he changes one or more of these parameters and does the experiment again.
He tweaks and tweaks, repeating the experiment until he gets the result he is looking for. All of the parameters for each
experiment is documented. Once that result is found, he repeats it again and again. Then others repeat it again and again.
If all these different scientists get the same desired result, then this is brought under a general principle. A "Standard
Operating Procedure" or "S.O.P." gets upheld and recorded, as scientists believe that their test has been repeated so much
by so many various individuals that any other trained scientist who follows this exact procedure in any part of the world will
also get close to the same result.
Gardeners, Chefs, Bakers, and Mechanics are some of the many professions where experimenting, observing, tweaking,
documenting, and creating a S.O.P. is used. Our lives are FULL of the results of experiments. All of which are intended to
make our lives easier. Even the wheel and the making of fire went through this same process. To have created so much
beauty through experimentation around us is partly what makes us human.
But... when it comes to prayer, this system of scientific thought that we use on everything else stops! We find it
blasphemous to use scientific techniques when asking God to fulfill our prayers. In every other aspect of our lives we
happily benefit from this scientific system of thinking -- Yet, in spirituality, we say "No!". Why? From construction, to
engineering, to basket-weaving... It seems that God has supported this scientific system in every way we have pursued a
desired result... even when it meant the destruction of nature, animals, and our fellow human beings. So why would The
Father/Mother God not support a scientific system of thinking in our ultimate desire for oneness with The Universe and the
manifestation of our desires?
When we look even closer, we can see that how we have benefited from this scientific process has been on the materialistic
level. Yet, when we apply it to the realm of prayer, we will be working with this process on the realm of thought. A much
more subtle and, yet, infinite level. A higher realm where we will be able reach to our innermost being... all the way to the
outer most parts of The Universe.
All of us are unique. When we begin experimenting and applying a scientific approach to our prayers, we will find that my
unique prayer(s) might be very different to my identical twin brother's unique prayers. It may even take him a few short
months to find his prayer, yet take me several years to find mine. The joy will come from tweaking, experimenting, and
observing the results of our actions and aspirations. Even trained scientists experimenting on a new vaccine never get it
right on the first try. They have to experiment, tweak, and observe their results. It is the same with scientific prayer, you
will be different than other people who pray. You will able to see how you are praying, what result you desire, and with
what parameters you are using to manifest your desires. Then like a scientist, you can change a few of those factors to ask
God again in earnest to fulfill your wishes.
We all want instant results. But even in scientific experiments, there is an incubation period. A bear and a butterfly also
have incubation periods. Even though our desire was not manifested at the time we desired, the fact alone that it exists in
the realm of thought is already a great start. You have put a lot of energy into this desire and through the six steps of
scientific prayer have powerfully propelled it into The Mind of The Universe. Nothing is forgotten in this Universe of
Thought. But in order for your prayer to manifest, maybe an longer incubation period is necessary. Your thought is of a
higher vibration that its materialistic manifestation. The situation has to ripen more. Have faith and look for signs of it
coming to fruition. Time is one of the biggest factors in all scientific experiments. Changing some of the parameters of our
prayer can help speed up its manifestation. But still, even scientists get impatient.
One thing to consider is where is prayer most effective. Shocking and heart-breaking stories abound throughout human
history where pre-meditated murderers went into temples, churches, synagogues, and mosques and inflicted mass harm on
people praying. Prayer works most effectively on the individual who is praying. To even get to the point to where we
willingly bow, kneel, pranam, or fold our hands, we have already surrendered some part of our ego to Divine consciousness.
We have started to see ourselves as a spiritual being, and that we live within a responsive and intelligent Universe. At birth,
we are all born spiritual beings. Feeling Divine Light enter your body and knowing that it did so via your own prayer is the
highest joy. Prayer is not about asking for something. Prayer is Divine communion. The sooner each of us begin to
recognize this and are taught how the Universe can actively respond to our thoughts, the more tragedies we will avoid.
Still, it must be asked again... Why do we need to pray? Look at all the amazing things we have done and accomplished in
Life without consciously practicing it. Look at all the opportunities that have come our way without praying for them. Yes,
it's true that many things came our way without prayer... BUT, did we recognize them and were we brave enough to seize
them when we had the chance? Oftentimes what comes with these opportunities is worry, hate, anxiety, fear, anger,
jealousy, insecurity, or frivolity. We focus on the gift and not the Source. This often lead to self -doubt and self-hate.
Without ever having focused on the Source from whence these gifts came, they arrived to us naked, without a protective
buffer of White Light around them. These gifts had Dark Forces attached to them that undermined their beauty.
When we add prayer and spiritual techniques to our Life, we build a protection against these darker forces. By habitually
aligning our thoughts to the much higher forces of Light, our anger, fear, and insecurity will weaken. When our thoughts
habitually come into communion with The Universal Mind, our spirits, bodies, and souls also come into communion with it.
Light establishes itself within and around us through practice and affirmations. Darkness will not find a place to fixate itself.
As babies, we were born from Light. Through our thoughts, darkness gradually came afterwards. The Light is still already
there. We could not be living and functioning if it were not. No one has to tell us that in moments of happiness and ecstasy
that that Light begins to extend out and feel better and more empowered. The key is regular practice, so that the Divine
elixir we can access is not haphazard and rare. Light repels darkness. Light triggers Joy. The more we concentrate on Light,
the stronger it becomes.
Scientifically speaking, light is not only the light we see when we turn on a switch and a light bulb comes on. Nor is it the
light from the Sun and the Stars. Those kinds of lights we only see because they are reflecting off of something. In a pitch
black room, we see no light but can still feel joy. The spiritual White Light that is meant in this book is a powerful, unseen,
Divine energy-force. It has the power to penetrate to the deepest resources of your Soul. It opens the reserves of
abundance and joy hidden within you. It radiates throughout your entire aura and being. It stimulates your thoughts and
accelerates your inner vibration. It works as a bridge between you and other people, objects, planets, and stars. When this
Light is consciously activated in your life, everything you touch, see, and think will be filled with it. New ideas will scramble
and fight their way to you because of this protective radiance you evoke. The rarity of it found in a human being, who has
thought and hands to manifest their dreams, is why these new ideas run to you.
The ways we attract things to ourselves is either through our own efforts (work) or through our own vibration (thoughts). It
has been well studied how positive thinking changes our attitudes. Positive thinking works by changing our vibration,
outlook, and energy. If positive thinking can do all this, imagine what divine thinking can do. Positive thinking triggers our
excitement, hope, and expectations. A lot of people have prayers that are, in essence, positive thinking. However, divine
thinking is focusing our thoughts on The Eternal Field from where all physical matter rise.
When we are filled with negative thoughts, doubts, and fears, we don’t achieve very much. We block ourselves. Our
insecurities paralyze our actions. However, when we focus on The Abundant Eternal Field, the karmic gifts that are still yet
to come our way get engulfed by a new energy. When we let the Light within us gradually expand and open, we are better
equipped to achieve more in Life. We recognize it’s abundance and intelligence, and in doing so become ourselves
abundant and intelligent. Consciously working with this Light from The Eternal field improves our Lives exponentially.
When this White Light shines within and around you, each cell of your being vibrates at a higher frequency. You open
Passage ways within that that Light flows through, and you become a channel of beauty and abundance. In this state, you
attract more, and are able to accomplish more. It is similar to what we learned in basic physics - objects that spin or vibrate
at a higher rate have more energy. These new thoughts and prayers add Light and energy to your being. By making a small,
but spiritually significant change in our thoughts, will help change our surroundings.. and eventually better our world. Any
other “solution” you can think of will only be temporary.
PREPARING
QUIETING YOUR THOUGHTS & OPENING THE VESSEL OF YOUR BODY
In regards to both our spirituality and our human interactions, most of us are “Givers”. We want to give to our church. We
want to give to children. We want to give to our partners. We see this as being contributors to people and organizations
we care about.
The opposite of giving is normally considered “Taking”. This has negative connotations to it. People who take are
considered selfish and egotistic. They cause destruction and ill-will in others. They are thought to be self-centered and
disdainful.
However, there is another way to consider the opposite of giving… and that is “Receiving”. Receiving is more open, more
linked to consciousness, and more aware. With taking, the flow stops! There is no dynamic circulation between The Giver,
The Receiver, and The Gift. We have a choice to either “Take” or “Receive”.
Many people have a problem receiving because their thoughts are on the material object and not on the higher aspects of
the act. Yes, sometimes when some people give us things, there is an ulterior motive behind it. They will immediately
want something in return or at a later date. To avoid feeling indebted to anyone, you avoid gifts entirely. But, if we learn
how to open ourselves to receiving, we are also open to the subtle thought attachments around a gift.
Receiving helps in our giving. Taking does not. When we receive and our minds are focused on abundance, grace, and joy,
we pass these thoughts on when we give. Our gifts are empowered with more than just its physical matter. You have
released your attachment to what the receiver could be thinking about your gift and instead imbued that box of chocolates
or those bouquet of flowers with Divine Thought. Our hearts are opened more than our hands. By habitually receiving, we
also become more alert to inspirational thought. Triggers we receive from Divine Consciousness flow easily into the vessel
of our body. A little gift or a kind act, that may not mean much to us, might mean a great deal to someone else and may
completely change their day… or even their entire Lives. If our thoughts are on taking, we stop this flow. With taking, no
reverberating effects occur or are attached to our acts.
To work with the Six Steps of Scientific Prayer, we have to work on being “Receivers”. We have to allow Divinity and
Abundance to flow through us. Our vessels have to be open. We are walking on this Earth and interacting with other
fellow human beings who can be inspired by the ways we give and receive.
Receiving goes beyond saying a mere “Thank you”. We have all heard “Thank you” said to us in a variety of different ways
with a variety of different meanings behind it. By continuously aligning our thoughts to Divine Abundance, the negative
connotations of our expressed gratitude are significantly diminished.
Whether we are giving or receiving, we are acting. We are performing an act. Every action we have ever done –
consciously, unconsciously, deliberately, unintentionally, or spontaneously – had Divine Consciousness behind it. Shared
abundance and joy is always involved in the realm of our gift-giving. We want to make another person feel good and make
ourselves feel good. All religions have days throughout the year when some kind of gift-giving is done. It is a quick, easy,
and direct way to get us into the practice of experiencing grace.
Since we are active, thinking beings in an active, thinking Universe, we can easily use thought to re-align our minds and
become receivers. Before we can truly step into the realm of abundance that is existing within and around us, we have to
open every pore and every cell of our being to allow it to flow through.
Communion on Five Levels
To prepare ourselves to begin Scientific Prayer, we can take conscious steps towards our own spirit on five different levels:
•
•
•
•
•
With objects and places we feel are spiritual.
With the position of our bodies.
With our breathing.
With our eyes closed.
With our thoughts.
With objects and places we feel are spiritual.
As was said earlier, we can instill spirituality into objects such as candles, incense, flowers, and water. When we have a
special place in our homes to pray (called an altar or a puja), that place and those objects become empowered with Divine
Thought. By routinely going to that same place to pray and meditate, it becomes more and more spiritually enriched and
we fall into deep contemplation more easily. Silence is a powerful tool to help us feel Light in our bodies. Silence helps us
to align our thoughts. Silence, focusing on our breathing, and closing our eyes work in harmony to help us block out
distractions, so we can concentrate on our own Divinity.
With the position of our bodies.
There are several meditative positions that we can sit in. The Lotus position is one and lying on your right side with your
palm raised up is another. Just sitting straight in a chair is also used. These positions focus on keeping your spine straight
and on receiving Light from Divinity. They keep us alert and help prevent us from falling asleep.
With our breathing.
Concentrating on our breathing helps relax us and focus our thoughts. We give our minds something rhythmic and ongoing
to come to and calm itself. Breathing is cleansing, as well. Our minds and bodies are partially purified with thoughts on
our breathing. Sudden deep breaths are signs we are transcending further. A sudden involuntary stretch of our spines is
also one of the many signs of transcendence.
With our eyes closed.
We live in a world of manifested thought and material objects. These trigger thoughts. Thoughts and memories of other
things than what we are aiming to do while sitting in front of our puja. We have arranged some moments in our morning
and some moments in our evening to stop our activities and look deep within ourselves to experience our own link to
Divinity. In an instant, we can at least block out all of our material distractions by simply closing our eyes. However,
contrary to popular belief, with our eyes closed we come into a new world. A new visual dimension that is activated by a
well-focused and inspired mind. This new dimension is full of colors, movement, beauty, wonder, and Lights of blue, white,
and black twinkling in and out of your vision. By becoming more practiced in the Art of Meditation, this new and fascinating
world begins to open for you.
With our thoughts.
In meditation, even though we are sitting still, we are still performing an act. Probably one of the highest acts we can
because every distraction has been consciously blocked out. We come to a point where our last obstacle is our own
thought. We have so many things to think about, to worry about, and to plan. However, during these 10 to 30 minutes
that we have blocked out for our own spiritual growth, our worries are not likely to solve our problems. As conscious
human beings, we have the power to change the radio stations in our mind. The question is… to what frequency? Again,
we are active and abundant thought-beings in an active and abundant Thought-Universe. In meditation, we can focus our
thoughts on this Truth: “I am an active and abundant component within The Universal Mind”. Repetition helps, as the
more we repeat a Truth the deeper it goes into our subconscious and the more powerfully it manifests itself in our world.
THE FIRST STEP OF SCIENTIFIC PRAYER
CLIMBING TO THE TOP OF A TOWER, SKYSCRAPER, OR MOUNTAIN
Window Metaphor:
With the first step of Scientific Prayer, we use a two-word mantra to elevate us out of our normal, everyday energy field.
With these two empowered words, we raise to a higher and more vibrant energy field and have transcended to a place of
pure beauty, joy, and abundance. In this higher frequency, we feel light entering our body in different forms. These forms
are called "kriyas" and are signs of us climbing up a Tower or Skyscraper. Each word in our two-word mantra has been
empowered by millions or billions of men and women over several millenium. Their faith and Love will represent two
different roads leading to the same Divine source. From the top of the Tower, we are able to see the world from a new
perspective.
The First Step:
Words, thoughts and the meaning we give to words have great importance. All three are interconnected. Behind any word
there are thoughts, images, feelings, memories, and/or meanings. If I tell you that Barbara Collins is a high school friend of
mine. Your mind goes blank for a second and then immediately starts to wander and wonder through its own thoughts and
memories. As I continue to talk to you about her, your mind tries to create an image, personality, and body from the
information it is being given – from her name, that I knew her in high school, and that she was a friend. Your mind tries, but
it still doesn’t know who she is. So, it tries to make it’s own guess, so it can remember her. If I told a different person th e
exact same stories of Barbara Collins, their imagery of her would be totally different – as we each build unique mental
images from our own life experiences. The more I talk to you about Barbara, the more information you are given and the
stronger your own temporary image of Barbara becomes. You might even ask me questions about her to build up a
stronger imagery, memory, and meaning of her in your own mind. But once you do meet her or see a picture of her, your
whole perception changes. Barbara Collins has a “meaning” now. Her face, personality, style, hair color, voice, and maybe
even perfume are quickly imprinted in your mind from the groundwork already made from hearing and remembering my
high school stories. Not only has the name Barbara Collins changed for you, but you have changed as well.
It’s the same with foreign words. If I tell you the Dutch word “Vrede”. Your mind would probably go blank. Again, it
wanders and wonders through its own memory and experience to try to put a meaning to this strange word. You might not
have a meaningful connection to that word. If you don’t speak Dutch and hear a sentence or an entire conversation in
Dutch, your mind goes blank over and over, quickly trying to put meaning onto the individual words through the help of
body language and vocal tone. This might help some. Most people would not know that “Vrede” is the Dutch word for
Peace. Once you understand the meaning of this word, you then may try to remember it and might even try to repeat it, so
you can verbalize and feel it. It is like meeting Barbara Collins for the first time. There is now a meaning behind that word.
We now know who “Barbara Collins” is and what “Vrede” means. Hearing these words again, we can sense we have
changed because our knowledge has grown. Both Barbara Collins and Vrede instantly give us an “Ah-ha!” moment once we
meet or understand them. But still… we can easily forget both if we don’t often remind ourselves of an image of Barbara or
the meaning of Vrede. Ah-ha! moments resonate through our minds, bodies and spirits when we have connected a
meaning to a word through thought.
Examples like the ones above and more are quite common for everyone, everywhere, in every language. We feel these
joyous “Ah-ha!” moments throughout our entire lives. However, not all words are the same. Some carry more potency. As
the spiritual beings we are, we have words in our vocabulary that are highly charged with Divinity. Words like “Om”,
“Aum”, “Amen”, "Allah", and "Tao" are HIGHLY spiritual words given to us by The Divine to help us grow. Unfortunately, it
seems that many people have lost the meaning behind some of these spiritually significant words. They can evoke the
highest “Ah-ha!” resonance within us. They can awaken spiritual ecstasy, as they are all keys to Divinity..or can be.
Om, Aum, and Amen
All three of these spiritually charged words are very similar in resonance. They even sound the same and can likely be
traced from the same origin. Om is used in Buddhism and Hinduism. Aum in Judaism. Amen in Christianity. The
explanations and definitions for each is found in its corresponding spiritual text. For Om, we are told that by saying it we
are repeating The Universal Sound - The ONE Universal vibration that exists in everything throughout the entire Universe.
Om is the verbal vibration of Divine consciousness. Divine Consciousness exists in everything that is. When a Buddhist
monk chants and meditates on “Om”, like a tuning fork, he is focusing on that universal vibration that exists within himself
to resonate with that same vibration that exists within every material and non-material thing in the Universe. As for “Amen”
and “Aum”, they are defined in a very similar way. In the Genesis section of The Bible, we are told that "God (Divinity)
became the word... and the word became everything else". This word that the first book of the Bible is telling us about could
not be "Jesus", "John", "David", or "Abraham". Amen (or Aum, in Hebrew) is that word. Amen is the vibrational word that
exists in everything that was, is, or will ever be manifested. Remembering its definition from Genesis, we can see that it
vibrates everywhere from an inexhaustible source. Everything from a stone to a star has Om/Aum/Amen resonating within.
Through these words, we are able to connect to the entire universe. The meaning and our thoughts behind them are what
give them their significance.
However, most people say “Amen” with the meaning of “The End” in their thoughts. We have forgotten that this word is the
original sound. God's first utterance from the dark emptiness of pure potentiality. But now, unfortunately, we skim over that
passage in Genesis and never examine or deeply think about it's meaning. We have developed a spiritual habits that focus
more on rituals than on thoughts. Today, it is the practice in our churches that “Amen” is said at the end of a prayer, pass
age, or sermon. That can be fine, but Amen is never allowed to resonate within us from the meaning of it we have read in
Genesis. During service or mass, “Amen” is said and then we quickly move onto the next item in the program. The
maximum potential power of “Amen” is lost because our minds are quickly brought to the next item on the agenda. After
years of sitting in church hearing “Amen” and then a hymn, a sermon, or the reading of the Bible directly after… how can
we help but not think that “Amen” means “The End”? How far can “Amen” take you with the thought of “The End” in your
mind?
If churches and synagogues were to devote an hour a day reading that one line in Genesis and then repeating “Amen” or
"Aum",it would awaken a spiritual nectar within everyone who heard and repeated it. That is, if they repeated it with this
profound understanding. This awakening would not only affect the individual repeating it, but also everyone in their
environment. Because of their renewed understanding, Light would spread within, from, and around that person. Om, Aum,
and Amen resonate with everything that exists. If we are to believe our scriptures, God started The Universe from a single
word. Some Christians would argue that that word was “Jesus”. But, how could that be when The Master Jesus was born
after God had created the Universe? Everything that came after ”Amen/Om/Aum” was built upon this universally cosmic
vibrational sound. This vibration is the most fundamental element of ourselves and everything we see. And so, when we
allow ourselves to feel "Om/Aum/Amen" and remember its meaning... then WE resonate with it and everything that exists.
Remembering its meaning gives it a moment to sink deep into our consciousness and subconscious minds. We transcend, and
repeating it never gets boring, as it is within the deepest part of every cell – both animate and inanimate.
But still, in regards to the First step of Scientific Prayer, understanding this truth about “Om/Aum/Amen”, as Spiritual
beings, we are still only utilizing half of our potential power!...
Tao and Allah
The most dynamic word we can mix with Om, Aum, or Amen is either the Islamic word “Allah” or the Taoist word “Tao”.
“Allah” and “Tao” takes us to our same Divine Source, but from a different angle. “Allah” and “Tao” refer to the limitless
f ield of pure potentiality that exists BEHIND everything. “Om”, “Aum”, and “Amen” refer to the cosmic divinity that exists
WITHIN everything. When used together, they awaken immense TRANSCENDENT power! Repeating both in the same
breath with our renewed understanding, cosmic synergy is ignited within us.
A direct translation of “Allah” means “That without beginning and without end”. "Allah" has also been translated to mean
"The undying". Looking around us, everything we see has had a beginning and will have an end – Plants, trees, humans,
animals… even the Earth, Sun and Stars will one day come to an end. Try to name something that has not had a beginning
and will not have an end. Only “Allah”, Divine consciousness, has not had a beginning and will never die. Allah is The
Eternal , The Everlasting, and stands apart from everything we see in the material world.
This same description is found in Taoism. In the Tao Te Cheng – The book of Taoism – “Tao” is described as “The Eternal
field behind the 10,000 things”. Like “Allah”, “Tao” takes us past the materialism of what we are and see to what is
eternal. We are taken to the field of Divine Consciousness through these two words and our renewed understanding.
Allah/Tao and Om/Aum/Amen can be found in certain profound sayings. For example, “You are the sky.. Everything else is
the weather”. Allah and Tao is the sky Om/Aum/Amen is the weather in this saying. Both the sky and the weather are
intertwined. If only one existed, we would not be able to appreciate life as we do. Imagine if all we had was rain. Imagine
if all we had were cloudless days.
The first step of scientific prayer is about transcending. It’s about climbing high up a tower or mountain by using both
methods of spiritual thought to enter Divine Consciousness. We transcend by simultaneously seeing that everything
contains the same cosmic vibration and remembering the eternal field behind all that exists. This step is not about
converting anyone to another religion or faith. Believers and non-believers are quick to point out the radicalism found in a
few extreme cases of some spiritual paths. However, just as much or even MORE radicalism is found in politics and sports.
The first step of scientific prayer is about enhancing and enriching abundance in our lives through words that are pure and
divine. Divinity that we as spiritual beings have empowered these words with through thought, Love, and faith. They lead
us to Wealth Consciousness.
Religions
Many people believe that religions are a waste of time and have been the cause of human destruction, suffering, and pain.
Others say that the answer is to just be at one with Nature. These people are not necessarily atheist. Songs like “Losing My
Religion” or “Imagine” suggest that we should give up our faith. However there are also many popular songs that subtly
celebrate a person's faith in God - "One Of Us" and "Shackles", to name a few.
However, when we tell people to give up their faith, we patronize them and may even insult their culture and intelligence.
We act as if we know better about what they should do with their own lives than they do. Yes, it is true that many people have
lost their lives, homes, countries, family because of religion. But, it can also be said that through some various roads found
in our religions, humanity has done a lot of work on the Spiritual plane. The happiest people seem to be those who are open
to an expansion of their spirituality. Happiest are those who learn, incorporate, and are hungry for spiritual knowledge.
Religions don’t look like they are going to go away anytime soon. But, the answer does not seem to lose our religion, but to
gain knowledge of other ones. In this way, we don't lose anything, but we gain more. Knowledge is power. We gain respect
for other paths, and the result is peace within ourselves. There can be no fear when there is understanding, and there can be
no understanding when there is fear.
Since we have all put so much effort into our religious paths for so many millenium, maybe we can use some of the
knowledge we have gained to help ourselves evolve? Through thought, love, and joy, billions of faithful souls have
empowered these words for thousands of years - Om, Tao, Aum, Allah, and Amen. Each of these words has taken countless
people to unimaginable heights of spiritual ecstasy. We can not negate the work so MANY souls have done before us…and
continue to do. Buddhists and Hindus have repeated "Om" with Love. Taoists have repeated "Tao" with Love. Hasidic and
Orthodox Jews have repeated "Aum" with Love. Sunni and Shiite Muslims have repeated "Allah" with Love. And Baptist,
Lutheran, Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Methodist, and Evangelical Christians have repeated "Amen" with Love. Because
of all this faith and thought, we have empowered these words. If we look without judgment, we can see that each word is a
key to unlocking The Gates of Heaven. A place where human souls have become awashed in abundance and joy. Seeing that
each of these words as keys to Heaven, we rise higher and are able to use Om/Tao/Aum/Allah/Amen for our own evolution.
We lose our fear, instead of our religion. Our vision then easily penetrates past all religions to the Realm of Thought and we
are able put the highest and most supreme tools mankind has ever created into our hands.
If we ourselves have experienced the ecstasy felt when repeating one of these words, then we should be the first to testify
that others might feel that same ecstasy when they repeat one with love. One of the first signs we are evolving is when we
lose our judgments, prejudice, and fear. We climb up a Tower as we evolve. The air is lighter and the sun is brighter as we
climb. We open our minds and empower ourselves when we see that God is both within everything AND behind
everything. With newer and clearer thoughts, we begin to understand that both of these roads lead to the same Divine
source. Realizing this, we have put two powerful tools into our hands - “Allah-Amen”, “Tao-Om”, “Aum-Allah”, etc...
For example, using Allah and Om together - "Allah-Om" - , our thoughts combine The Eternal Field with The Universal
vibration. We see our Universe "without beginning and without end" and "The Cosmic Sound existing in every person,
place, or thing". As we contemplate both Allah and Om together, we feel a deep harmonic power rising up within us. It is
the same for "Tao-Amen", "Aum-Allah", etc... The most important thing to remember is what these words trigger in our
thoughts. They trigger a duality within our minds. Two aspects of God become within us.
There are twelve different combinations of Allah/Tao and Om/Amen/Aum. Find one that resonates most with you. It may
not necessarily be one from your own religion. Just see which one resonates most in your heart - that is the right one! The
one that springs the most joy within you when you repeat it. Listen to your body and feel which of the twelve is best for
you. By repeating both together, you climb. You will automatically re-build hundreds of bridges and roads throughout your
inner world. Again, you will lose judge-ment and prejudice and start to see “those people” as ones who have practiced
feeling God as a cosmic vibration or God as an eternal field. And when you see "those people" out on the street, they will
surely inspire you to remember your new mantra of "Amen-Allah". Because for you, you will be practicing a bit of each
method and will feel inspiration from both paths! Your thoughts will bring these two paths together.
Tao/Allah and Aum/Om/Amen
What is interesting is when we look at the history of these words (or mantras) and where they originated from. “Om” and
“Tao” originated from Asia. “Amen”, “Aum”, and “Allah” originated from the Middle East. Two different approaches to
Divinity originating in the same area of the world. This is no coincidence, as God is the source of all inspiration and so must
have intentionally inspired people in the same region to unite with him in these two different ways.

We will study more about mantras and the number 12 in the next chapter. For now, just go through all twelve mantras
with the meaning of each word in your mind. For each pair, slowly read the first word out loud and then contemplate its
meaning for a moment. Then read the second word out loud and contemplate its meaning. In the empty spaces between
the words and between the mantras, there are many various subtle little signs to notice happening within the instrument
that is your body... Notice if your lungs spontaneously inhale... Notice if your spine suddenly stretches up... Notice if there is
a "popping" sound in your ear... Notice if you feel energy and light entering your body... Notice if you sparks of light coming
in and out of your vision... In Hinduism, all of these little signs are called "Kriyas". They happen to us when our entire being
resonates at a very high spiritual frequency. People of all faiths experience kriyas. For example, in Baptist churches they
call it "getting happy". Other religions may not even have a name for it, but people know it is happening when they speak,
sing, or chant a Divine name and thrilling, spontaneous joy fills their body. When some of these kriyas happen to you while
repeating one of the above mantras, take note of it. It's an important sign!
Slowly read the list several times out loud and listen to your body for the highest resonance within you. Again, you may end
up finding that the one that resonates most may not even contain a mantra from your own religion. The spiritual definition
and meaning that each word symbolizes are the most important. The power that they ignite together in your heart comes
from beyond your own thinking. Trust the kriyas to guide you to “the right one”. It is as specific to you as your blood type.
If you have tried several times and find that you don't feel any kriyas with any of the mantras, then it is best to go on to The
Second and Third Steps of Scientific Prayer. The second step takes you through the five elements of your body; Earth,
Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. The third step takes you through several energy centers located throughout your body,
especially in your spine. The third step also uses palmistry and interplanetary thought to help you connect to other celestial
bodies through your right hand. In many ways, the second step is easier to "feel" and the third step is easier to "visualize"
than the first step. These steps help you to cleanse, purify, and better get in touch with the subtlest regions of your body.
Maybe, for you, going through the second and third steps are necessary for you to cleanse these subtle regions of your
body so that your kriyas can bubble to the surface more easily. Kriyas are REAL! Ultimately, they are confirmations that we
have done a lot of spiritual work in our current life and past lives. They are rewards and signs we are on the right track. The
first step is first in The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer because with this step we transcend. For some, it might be better to
come back to this first step after some practice with the second and third steps.
Actually, the same thoughts are behind all twelve pairs. All of them lead to the same place and will initiate “transcendence”
within and around you. Finding your mantra is the initial step towards sending much more precise and powerful prayers
into The Universal Mind. As was mentioned before, The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer is learning how to transcend, to
activate, and then to pray. Discover the mantra and you will have found your first step of Scientific Prayer. Later on you
may want to practice with some of the other ones. Already with this first step and The Fire of Abundance, you can start
manifesting your desires.
As was said above, Aum/Om/Amen are the Universal vibrations found in everything that has been manifested. Tao and
Allah connect us to the Eternal Field behind everything manifested. When something is "born" or comes into existence, the
first step out of The Eternal Field is the manifestation of The Universal Vibration that that object will contain. When
something "dies" and is about to merge back into the Eternal Field, the last thing to be lost is The Universal Vibration before
it is finally merged back into The Eternal Field. Amen is the first element to spring from Allah when we are born. Aum is the
last particle we lose before we merge back into Tao when we die. Looking at it this way, we can divide the twelve mantras
into two groups - six for Evolution (the first step when something emerges out of the Eternal Field) and six for Involution
(the last step when something merges back into the Eternal Field):
The Six Mantras of Evolution or Emerging: Allah-Om, Tao-Aum, Allah-Amen, Tao-Om, Allah-Aum, Tao-Amen
The Six Mantras of Involution or Merging: Om-Allah, Aum-Tao, Amen-Allah, Om-Tao, Aum-Allah, Amen-Tao
Although each of the above mantras seems like a pair, there is actually a very important third aspect to each of them.
Namely, the space between the words. In this split-second space, there is no word, no thought, and nothing manifested.
When we find our mantra and repeat it, our mind goes between the manifest and the un-manifest in several different ways.
We transcend from the deep, to the deeper, to the deepest. Or, looking at it in another way, we pass from deep, to deeper,
to nothingness. In this thoughtless, nothingness place we can find fullness. In this empty space, there are no thoughts or
words standing in the way between you and feeling the fullness of The Universe. Each of the mantras, therefore, forms a
powerful trinity within you and help you touch the deepest level of your being.
With practice, you will find that both words in your mantra are complimentary. They are not opposite. As with the
essential components of gardening, Om/Aum/Amen are the seeds. Tao or Allah is the soil. The space between is the
sunlight. Thoughts and action through practice is the water and fertilizer. In your paired mantra, each word can
individually lead you to The Gates of Heaven. You can feel Light entering your body as you say either word. This Light and
energy confirms that this word has taken you to a higher state. But when both words are used together, you open those
Gates of Heaven and enter inside. The First step of Scientific Prayer is for you to find the two keys that will help you
transcend. It is the similar to when you enter your home or business. It's likely need two keys to get inside.
Many people believe that it would be better for the world if we all practiced one religion. There would be no more
problems and no more war. But, each religion only leads us to the Gates of Heaven. If we were all one certain religion, we
would sti ll need to create some of the keys found in one of the others to enter through the Gates to where there is
abundance, joy, peace, harmony, kindness, and Love. One religious path is not the answer. The multiple paths available to
us now is. We are all smart enough, aware enough, educated enough, spiritual enough, and worldly enough to have heard
about and have been exposed to our two specific different sets of these keys. The keys that can open the Gates within
ourselves to abundance and peace.
During the writing of this book there were many “ terrorist attacks” on people throughout the world. People seem to have
either taken sides on our so called “Religious War” or they have given up faith in religion and God altogether. Living in "The
West", we live in a world that is well and truly mixed. Many people believe that the answer to our problems is just to kick
out the trouble-makers, deny them entry into the country, put more policemen on the street, reinstate the death penalty,
torture them, toss them in jail and throw away the key… or worse! These are all temporary "solutions". We only need to
look at our own history to see that this has never worked... and will never work. Protestants have tried all this and more on
Catholics . Catholics have tried all this and more on Protestants. Adolf Hitler tried all this and more on Jews. But, none of it
worked. Our world is still full of Protestants, Catholics, and Jews. Trying to exterminate a certain demographic won’t work.
Some scientists even say that exterminating a certain group was even tried on homosexuals with HIV and on AfricanAmericans with Sickle Cell anemia. Yet, the world is still full of homosexuals and African-Americans. This way of thinking
and practicing only causes pain.
As we all are spiritual beings, maybe the solution to this hate and fear we are breeding is a spiritual one. None of the above
answers that are commonly proposed by people and politicians are spiritual ones. We need to remember that beyond race,
religion, sex, and sexuality we all have a direct link to our abundant Universe. From THERE we can find our answers. Our
bodies, skin color, and faiths are nothing compared to the power we can all tap into. The joy and peace it can bring. The Six
Steps of Scientific Prayer is not a "New Age-y", "Love and Peace", "60's movement" type of practice. It is a practice of
training our thoughts to see higher and deeper within ourselves. Love and Peace are the by-products that naturally spring
forth when we are able to touch the abundant and joyous source within ourselves. It is likely that we already do! But,
these times are mostly spontaneous, unplanned, and haphazard. When we are so adept, through habitual practice, to
touching and re-touching our own abundant Source, then we don't have to force anything for it to evoke. It gradually
becomes our natural and constant state. True magic, abundance, and wonder lie deep within ourselves. If we are never
integrated within, we will never be integrated without. With the help of The First Step of Scientific Prayer, more and more
of us will learn the joy of this inner coexistence. True integration. Without which we will only continue to live side-by-side
in our societies.
There are many regions in the world where two or more religions co-exist. The people live side-by-side. At best, they live
with public displays of respect for each other - but privately, many despise the other group. Is this peace? Is this leading us
to a joyful and abundant environment? As we are all spiritual beings, we can all pick up negative energy. So, even though
you privately hide your feelings and are discrete in public, people can still pick up on the negativity you might be
unknowingly emanating. Some of these regions have been in conflict for hundreds of years with much hate, fear, anger,
and suffering between them. But as each and EVERY human being contains HUGE spiritual potentiality, through only the
practice of the First Step of Scientific Prayer, these regions can be turned into areas that are IMMENSELY beneficial to all
mankind. This first step brings Light, energy, understanding, and expansion to our core. To the root of our being. If we
have not changed the root, we have not changed. That weed will still grow. In these regions, it can not be a coincidence
that God has put these faiths together. That having been said, did God put these religions together only to live side by side?
To, at best, tolerate each other? We can choose to think that these religions were put together to suffer, kill, and hate over
land, or we can think that they were put together to learn compassion, understanding, and Love.
There are people and regions who would greatly benefit from repeating "Aum-Allah" or "Allah-Aum"... Other populations
would benefit from "Allah-Amen" or "Amen-Allah"... Countless men and women would be re-empowered through "TaoOm" or "Om-Tao"... and several countries would evoke abundance through "Om-Allah" or "Allah-Om". When these two
keys are joined together, our entire world would benefit from the peace these people and regions would begin to radiate.
These people could become examples and ambassadors of the power we can all evoke by joining "The Eternal Field" and
"The Cosmic Vibration" within.
Yes, some people may find it IMPOSSIBLE to say the word "Allah". Others will find it blasphemous to say the word "Amen".
But all five of these mantras are words that humanity itself has imbued with Love and Faith. For thousands of years, billions
of people have put their highest aspirations of joy into each one of them. They are there to use and empower us. Again,
this first step is ultimately about Transcendence. We use these words as stepping stones to expanding our minds and
encompassing the entire Universe. This self-benediction is the highest because you do not need another person, object, or
place to awaken it. Your expanded thought opens 3 or 4 new pathways to oneness with The Universe. That is why we
transcend. It is not about converting anyone. Once your mind and thoughts start to play in the cosmos, you will develop a
wider, deeper, and richer spiritual experience. Inspiration will no longer be something you have to hope or wait for. And
even though we may categorize ourselves as Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Taoist, or Buddhist, we all can recognize
compassion, Love, happiness, joy, beauty, and peace. The first step of Scientific Prayer is about taking our minds beyond
our earthly religions.
Put this book down and start with yourself. Take a few days to step into the realm within you where wealth, knowledge,
creativity and inspiration spring from.
Step One Exercises And Experiments:
1. Repeat Om, Aum, or Amen and imagine it as the cosmic sound or universal vibration that exists WITHIN everything.
Imagine this sound-vibration in a chair, in an apple, in a flower, in a stone, in a tree, in the Earth, in the Sun, in the Stars, and
in yourself.
2. Repeat Tao and Allah and imagine this Eternal Field that has no beginning and no end that exists BEHIND everything. Use
your third eye to see this field that is behind what you see with your two physical eyes.
3. Slowly repeat the twelve mantras to find the one you most resonate with. Be aware of any kriyas in happening in your
body.
4.Repeat your paired mantra several times slowly and try to be aware of the empty space between the first and second
word. Become aware of the Universal fullness within that empty space. Become subtly aware of how your consciousness
goes through the different states. Observe your thoughts entering in and out of the manifest, the unmanifest, and the
nothingness states in your mind and body
.
5. Once you have found your mantra, take a day to work with its involution or evolution counterpart. Feel the difference
between the two mantras. One is the first step into Life. The other is the last step before merging back into the Eternal
Field.
6. Combine experiments 4 and 5. Practice this until you are really good at it!! Eventually, you will be able to easily go
between emerging, merging, and nothingness within your thoughts. This is one of the most powerful tools you can have to
strengthen your mind power with your spiritual power.
Example: Emerge = "Allah-Om" // Merge = "Om-Allah"
Emerge --> (Nothingness) --> Merge --> (Nothingness) --> Emerge --> (Nothingness) --> Merge -->....
7. Use your thoughts and imagination to send a specific mantra to a troubled region in the world. Imagine the people of the
different faiths living in that region filled with Light, compassion, renewed understanding, and Love. Isreal, Cyprus, Crete,
Malaysia, Tibet, Iraq, and Palestine could be some regions to think about and send Light to.
8. Did you write in your journal recently? Is it updated? Take 20-minutes to write down where you are today.

THE SECOND STEP OF SCIENTIFIC PRAYER
CLEANING THE WINDOW
Window Metaphor:
With the first step of Scientific Prayer, we used the metaphor of climbing up a Tower. To climb this tower, we used an
empowered two-word mantra that represented two roads leading to the same Divine source. By repeating this mantra, we
are able to feel Light and energy entering our body. This is a sign that we are vibrating at a high frequency. This is a sign
that we are at the top of the Tower. With the second step of Scientific Prayer, we can imagine in our metaphor that at the
top of the tower there is a window that we know opens out onto a beautiful garden. However, this window needs a bit of
cleaning to see through it. For the second step of Scientific Prayer, we introduce a new mantra that will clean the window.
The Second Step:
Words help us not only to communicate, but also to focus thought. The meaning behind words is more important than the
word itself. Words and meaning can be compared to physical matter and Divine Source. In the Second Steps of Scientific
Prayer, we use empowered words or Mantras to purify our bodily instruments and to focus our thoughts.
What Are Mantras?
As you have surely gathered from reading the first step of scientific prayer, mantras are empowered words, names, and
phrases that trigger divine resonance within us. In general, mantras come in different categories - words and phrases
inspired from a Saint or from The Divine, and words and phrases inspired from an ancient language, such as Sanskrit. But,
for any mantra to work, it has to be repeated with love, understanding, and faith. In the first category, one beautiful
example of a prayer that works like a mantra is when Jesus Christ gave his disciples "The Lord's Prayer" or in The Hard Rock
Cafe slogan "Love All. Serve All" empowered by Sri Satya Sai Baba. We see that a saint has empowered these words. Also
by repeating the name of a saint like "Jesus" or "Hare Krishna", we feel their power if we do it with faith, love, and
understanding. Of course God himself can also empower mantras. "Allah" or "Om" are examples of mantras inspired by
God. But, it is our remembrance of God while repeating these words that trigger the joy in our hearts. In the second
category, words from ancient languages are used as mantras because it is felt that these languages were what we spoke
when our societies were closest to God. We saw, lived, and viewed the universe in a different light than we do now. We
were closer to nature and the wonders of Divinity. Our language then reflected that. Sanskrit words like "Shanti" for peace
and "Shakti" for Divine energy have survived and are used as mantras to induce a Divine State within us.
Ultimately, the word or words of a mantra becomes the meeting point where God, The Divine Thought or name of a Saint,
or an inspired meaning interacts with the aspirations of the person singing, chanting, or repeating it. This interaction
evokes the power you feel within. You are lifted to a higher place where aspirations from the sender meet Divinity from the
receptor.
The word "candlestick", for example, does not trigger the divine frequency that "Hare Krishna" or “Jesus” does. No saint or
group of believers have inspired the word "candlestick". Yet, Krishna himself, and billions of Hindus, have empowered
"Hare Krishna" through Love and divine thought. Remember that nothing is lost in our universe, especially in the Realm of
Thought. Hindus have visualized, emotionalized, and verbalized Krishna's name, life, and image in song, meditation, and
prayer. Divine thought is the essential key needed to empower a mantra. In fact, ALL mantras can be traced to God, as
Saints and ancient languages are channels to our one inner inexhaustible source. Allah, Aum, Tao, Om, and Amen are the
highest mantras because they are inspired by God and when we repeat them we, in turn, think of God. Arguably, mankind
has pumped most of its heartfelt Love and deepest faith into them.
But, why would someone use a mantra? How can they help or benefit us?
The most powerful way to use a mantra is to repeat it over and over with Love and faith. In Buddhism, Hinduism, and Yogas
this practice of mantra repetition is called "Japa". When we repeat or chant an empowered word or phrase several things
happen simultaneously within our inner being. If you were to ask a Buddhist meditating on "Om" in a temple, a Baptist
singing the song "Amen" in church, and a Muslim chanting "Allah" from a minaret to describe what they feel, the
descriptions would be interchangeable. "Joy!" would probably be the most common word. When we practice japa, we
trigger joy. We not only discipline our mind, we also connect to our inexhaustible source. We touch our divinity. Japa is an
easy way to fill our spiritual reserves and bring instant Light into our auras. Japa brings us health, youth, and vitality. It is
an elixir and a drug that more people are hooked on than anything synthetic or grown. Through japa, every cell of our
being is invigorated and sings with pure Love and happiness. Japa is pure because it connects us to God within. Japa is pure
because it comes from The Realm of Divine Thought. Long-term japa practice will help lead us to alchemic techniques and
the manifestation of our desires. We will instantaneously climb to the top of the tower, feel kriyas, and difuse any negative
forces that have entered our energy fields. With mantras and japa we develop a place within ourselves we can come to at
any time where we can recharge. Practicing japa before we sleep take this divine energy to our subconscious and
superconscious minds. We enlighten not only our physical bodies, but also our ethereal, astral, mental, causal, buddhic,
and atmic bodies during our sleep. When we awaken and practice japa for a few minutes the next morning, the light
through our six bodies we have carried during the night is repowered.
Om Namah Shivaya
Throughout the world, there is a much loved and highly empowered mantra used by millions to cleanse the five elements of
their being and help them reunite with their Divine source. This is a powerful mantra, as there are several levels to it.
Probably, more than we can imagine! "Om Namah Shivaya" is used throughout the world as a mantra, meditation tool,
japa, spiritual cleanser, and to awaken and inspire people on their spiritual journey. It is both sung and chanted with love
and pure joy. Om Namah Shivaya has been demonstrated to have positive effects on dolphins, plants, cats, food, and
human beings. Listening to this mantra played or sung drastically and instantly changes the atmosphere in a room. It can
be unsettling for some people, as hearing it powerfully changes your vibration. Sound can have immense power on people
and objects. If you doubt this, think of someone scratching their nails down on a chalkboard.. or of an opera singer
breaking a wineglass with only the sound of their voice. These and other examples can show us how sound vibration alone
has the power to affect matter.
The Om Namah Shivaya mantra combines sounds, words, and divinity. When thought, understanding, and divinity are
mixed into sound, then we have the potential for something very powerful indeed. Words carry meaning and power. We
see the effects of thought, meaning, and words when we compliment or insult someone. We see them as well when we
focus on God or an aspect of God.
One of the foremost aspects of Om Namah Shivaya is that it has the ability to cleanse and purify our thoughts, minds, and
spirits. Repeating it during meditation elevates your spirit, and your physical and spiritual vibration are increased to where
you have a direct contact with the super-consciousness. It is an ancient purifying mantra used to purify the person
repeating it both in and out of meditation. Repeating it is like baptizing your soul and spirit in Holy Water or the river
Ganges. For this reason, it is found to be the central mantra in many yogic practices in India and throughout the world.
On one level, the powerful effect of this mantra is that every syllable resonates directly with a different aspect of your
body... and beyond. If you are to ask someone on "What is the body made of?", you might get several different answers.
Such as:
- "Flesh and Bone"
- "Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Calcium, and Phosphorus"
- "Mostly water" or "Two thirds water"
- "Stardust"
- "Molecules and atoms"
- "Bone, muscle, connective tissue, DNA, carbohydrates, protein, and water"
- etc...
These answers are all true... But, incomplete.
Spiritualists have asked themselves the same question about this highest and most Divine Tool we have in Life. To the
spiritualist, the human body is composed of six elements:
- The Divine Element
- The Physical Element
- The Aqueous Element
- The Fire Element
- The Air Element
- The Thought Element
Flesh, bone, stardust, and muscle cannot think, breathe, or remain at a constant temperature of 98,6°F. Our common
descriptions of the human body mostly focus on the Physical and the Aquatic Elements. In other words, the parts of the
body we can see and feel. However, a human body would not be what we know one as being without The Divine, Fire, Air,
and Thought Elements we don't see. The Fire Element is often the most overlooked. Many people remember the pilot
lights in their family's cooking stove or living-room gas ovens. This light was a little flame deep inside the oven that burned
constantly. When we think about it, we also have a little pilot light burning deep within us, keeping our ovens (our bodies)
at a constant temperature of 98,6° Fahrenheit.
Furthermore, when we scientifically look at all the chemical reactions going in the body, we see many more elements
factored into having a human body. Magnetism, electricity, and light are involved in every bodily function from breathing,
digesting, to blinking our eyes. The fourth step of scientific prayer will discuss this in more detail.
For many practicing spiritualists, these five elements: Matter, Water, Fire, Air, and Thought are what compose our human
body. The sixth element, as we know, is our Divinity. One of our main purposes in our spiritual life is to purify our bodily
instruments as much as we can. Washing the hands, feet, or head with water can do this to a certain extent. But, the
highest cleansers are purified thoughts and intentions. When we are able to use a purified thought, we can be in the
middle of a desert and still cleanse ourselves.
When we say or sing "Om-Na-Mah-Shi-Va-Ya", these six elements are purified within us. Six different tuning forks within us
are powerfully activated. These tuning forks start vibrating because this mantra is empowered.
The purifying aspects of "Om Namah Shivaya" are:
Om – The Divine cosmic, universal sound that exists in everything seen and unseen.
Na – Cleanses the “Physical” Element (matter)
Mah – Cleanses the “Aquatic” (water) Element
Shi – Cleanses the “Fire” Element
Va – Cleanses the “Air” Element
Ya – Cleanses the “Ether” (thought) Element
In any human language, there are certain words that encompass many other words. For example, “Fruit” encompasses
apples, tangerines, watermelon, cherries, etc… Other examples are "Vegetable", "Meat", "Tree", "Automobile", and
"Flower". By saying words like these, we encompass many other words or objects.
It is debatable what the first words man ever spoke were. Some possibilities are "Water", "Danger!", and "Food".
Whatever the first words were, there had to have been a strong reason behind the words for man to have broken his
silence and a lot of experience between him, another person, and the object for both to understand what he was trying to
communicate. However, we can assume that at the origin of our speech, some of our very first words were all encompassing ones before we started compartmentalizing things and giving them individual names.
Sanskrit is considered one of the oldest known languages. Om Namah Shivaya is taken from the Sanskrit language. Each
syllable of this mantra; Om, Na, Mah, Shi, Va, and Ya are words that encompass many other words and objects. When we
concentrate on each syllable as we repeat this mantra, we bring all that they entail into our thoughts, whether our thoughts
are focused within us, around us, or encompassing the entire Universe.
Om -- encompasses Divine Consciousness and The Eternal Field.
Na – encompasses any material object, person, animal, etc… (Man, Earth, Planets, Stars, etc…).
Mah – encompasses anything aquatic (Rivers, streams, seas, oceans.. even ice).
Shi – encompasses anything with fire. (The sun, heat, body temperature, sunlight, lightning, etc…)
Va – encompasses anything with air (Wind, breezes, breath, etc..)
Ya – encompasses thought (Our actions, subconscious, super-conscious, vitality, etc..)
Once you know that every syllable resonates with either Divinity, matter, water, fire, air or thought, you can give your mind
something to concentrate on within your body as you practice this mantra in or out of meditation. This will magnify its
effectiveness.
While repeating this mantra you could let your mind focus on:
Om – “Tao-Om”, ”Amen-Allah”, etc.. and the spaces between your breath (divinity)
Na – Your skin, flesh, muscles, body (matter)
Mah – The saliva in your mouth (water)
Shi – Your body’s warmth or your heart (fire)
Va – Your breathing or your breath (air)
Ya – Your thoughts (ether)
For any mantra to work, it needs to be repeated. Through repetition, it goes deep into your subconscious and there begins
its work. The Universal Law "As within, so without" can be applied here. This law is constantly at work, whether we are
aware of it or not. If all you are thinking about are drugs, then you are going to attract people and situations where drugs
will be easily available to you. If you are thinking about joy, peace, and abundance, then you will attract people and
situations where joy, peace, and abundance will easily be available to you. "Seek, and ye shall find".
The first step in changing anything in our lives is to change our thoughts - our inner world. With the Second Step of
Scientific Prayer, it is recommended you repeat Om Namah Shivaya 12 times a day. This will take you a maximum 5
minutes out of your 24 hour day to do. As your body begins to purify, you will find yourself spontaneously saying it not only
12 times.. but, 120 times.. or 1200 times a day - No problem. As it cleanses your spirit, it begins to trigger ecstasy and pure
joy!
As we progress, we will begin to find Om Namah Shivaya in many systems operating in our Lives. Some examples are in our
weather, in plant life, and in the realm of Magic. In our weather, to create any condition that we have there is an
interaction between The Earth, Water, The Sun, Air, and The Ether. We see this interaction constantly at play. Water
molecules continuously rise from our oceans because of The Sun's heat and atmospheric pressure to create rainclouds that
release water back onto The Earth, for example. In plant life, a rose uses The Earth, Water, Sunlight, Air, and The Ether to
blossom into its beauty and fragrance. For magic to work there must be an interplay between matter, feelings, desire,
inspiration, and thought. Lastly, we can also look throughout our own Solar System and find examples matter, water/ice,
fire, air, and ether. The polar ice on Mars, the thermal gases of Venus, and the 600mph winds blowing Jupiter's red spot are
some of the innumerable places.
One of the best times to repeat Om Namah Shivaya is as you are falling asleep. When your mind changes from alpha waves
into beta waves. But remember, this is a time beginners often forget to practice this Japa. You've had a full day and you
are tired. However, if you can remember to do it, do it before you fall asleep. Lie on your right side with your right palm
facing up and the back of your right hand on the bed. Focus on your breathing and then slowly repeat "Om Namah Shivaya"
12 times. As explained above, let your mind go through the physical body, your saliva, your body's warmth, your breathing,
and your thoughts. Universal Light will enter your body through your right palm.
The Number 12
Why 12 times? Numerology is a very powerful practice. Like astrologists, numerologists can tell you many things about
your Life based on numbers around your birth, the letters of your name, and your current life situation. Numbers like 3, 5,
22, 23, 32, and 108 are very revered in many spiritual practices, yogas, and in the highest echelons of some religions. Albert
Einstein's E=mc² is a number. Numbers have power and play an important role in our Universe, and therefore in our lives.
Like a mantra or a word, it is the meaning behind the number that gives it it's power. Some aesthetic numbers are so
enigmatic that spiritual guides don’t even speak of the meanings they entail.
However, in this book, we will focus on a number we can all understand and relate to -- The number 12. Whoever you are,
whatever you are, and wherever you live, you are working with the number 12. Below is a list of 12's we all have in and
around us. You can see that 12 is extremely high, mystical, and spiritual. It is also very accessible. Let stop for a moment
and ask ourselves why the word “Dozen” exists? It's not 10… 15.. or 20. "A Baker's dozen" has no correlation to our hands.
If we had six fingers (including the thumb) on each hand, then the word dozen would be easy to see. But, we don't. We
have five. Did the ancients also see the concept behind the number 12? As for other things concerning the number 12 we
can remember we live in a world with:

12 Laws of the Universe:
The Law of Divine Oneness - everything is connected to everything else. What we think, say, do and believe will
have a corresponding effect on others and the universe around us.
Law of Vibration - Everything in the Universe moves, vibrates and travels in circular patterns, the same principles of
vibration in the physical world apply to our thoughts, feelings, desires and wills in the Etheric world. Each sound,
thing, and even thought has its own vibrational frequency, unique unto itself.
Law of Action - Must be employed in order for us to manifest things on earth. We must engage in actions that
supports our thoughts dreams, emotions and words.
Law of Correspondence- This Universal Law states that the principles or laws of physics that explain the physical
world energy, Light, vibration, and motion have their corresponding principles in the etheric or universe "As above, so
below".
Law of Cause and Effect - Nothing happens by chance or outside the Universal Laws. Every Action (including
thought) has a reaction or consequence "We reap what we sow".
Law of Compensation- The Universal Law is the Law of Cause and effect applied to blessings and abundance that
are provided for us. The visible effects of our deeds are given to us in gifts, money, inheritances, friendships and
blessings.
Law of Attraction - Demonstrates how we create the things, events and people that come into our lives Our thoughts,
feelings, words, and actions produce energies which, in turn attract like energies. Negative energies attract negative
energies and positive energies attract positive energies.
The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy - All persons have within them the power to change the conditions
of their lives. Higher vibrations consume and transform lower ones; thus, each of us can change the energies in our
lives by understanding the Universal Laws and applying the principles in such a way as to effect change.
Law of Relativity - Each person will receive as series of problems (Tests of Initiation/Lessons) for the purpose of
strengthening the light within each of these tests/lessons to be a challenge and remain connected to our hearts when
proceeding to solve the problems. This law also teaches us to compare our problems to others problem into its proper
perspective. No matter how bad we perceive our situation to be, There is always someone who is in a worse
position. Its all relative.
Law of Polarity- Everything is on a continuum and has and opposite. We can suppress and transform undesirable
thoughts by concentrating on the opposite pole. It is the law of mental vibrations.
Law of Rhythm - Everything vibrates and moves to certain rhythms. These rhythms establish seasons, cycles,
stages of development, and patterns. Each cycle reflects the regularity of God's Universe. Masters know how to rise
above negative parts of a cycle by never getting to excited or allowing negative things to penetrate their
consciousness.
Law of Gender - The law of gender manifests in all things as masculine and feminine. It is this law that governs what
we know as creation. The law of gender manifests in the animal kingdom as sex. This law decrees everything in
nature is both male and female. Both are required for life to exist.
12 is the number of perfection. 13 is considered an unlucky number because it comes after the number 12. 12 is a number
that is whole. If you discover a 3, 5, or 12 in anything, you are probably looking at a very powerful tool of transmutation.
There are a few things in the above list that is interesting to think about. The first thing is that there are 12 signs in both the
Astrological Zodiac and 12 signs in the Chinese astrological calendar. This coincidence can easily be overlooked, and
thought of as unimportant. But, consider this… Even though extremely profound and complex, we may be forgiven to
assume that the 12 signs of The Zodiac merely correspond to the 12 months of the year. But, what about the 12 Chinese
astrological signs? Their cycles are not linked to the months of the year, rather they are on a 12 YEAR cycle. It takes twelve
years to go through all of the Chinese astrological signs. Each year has a different Chinese astrological sign attached to it –
“The year of The Dragon”…”The year of the Rabbit”, “The year of The Monkey”, and so on… In other words, there is no
other parameter, like the 12 months of the calendar year, that we could easily correlate to the 12 Chinese astrological signs.
There is no reason to say “Well, of course!”, because there could have been 5 Chinese astrological signs, or 9, or 17, etc...
But again, it is the number 12.
Another 12 we find in Music. Music is a powerful conduit for spiritual energy. However, all music is based on the number
12. It doesn’t matter what kind of music; Pop, Rap, Country, Blues, Gospel, Classical, Bluegrass, Jazz, and Opera… All of it is
based on the number 12. Why? Simply consider the Musical Scale: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti = 7 notes. Ahhhhh…. But,
don’t forget the 5 black notes! 7 + 5 = 12! That means every song, hymn, aria, or symphony you have ever heard or will
ever hear is based on the number 12. And thusly, correspond to The Astrological signs, Laws of The Universe, and rotation
of The Earth.
Another 12, might be a coincidence... or it might not be. This 12 might in fact be two hidden 12's written within the
scriptures of The Bible. Some people might think it is meaningless, but let’s examine it. At least it is something worth
pondering. To explain, we have to first remember that in The Bible it is written that “God created the world in six days and
on the seventh day he rested”. Now, if we add up the number of hours there are in six days, we get 144. It is in this
number, six days, where are our two twelves are found: 12 x 12 = 144. "Hogwash!", you might think. But again, it could
have been written in the Bible that God created the world in 5 days, 1 day, one year, 35 seconds... or even needed the
entire seven days. Another thing to think about is why would The Bible write that our all-powerful, incessantly active God
needed a day to rest? In any event, there is no other amount of days, other than six, that calculates out into 12 x 12.
Another 12 pertains to our Chakras, or energy centers. It is commonly believed that we have 7 Chakras; Red, Orange,
Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Starting from our pelvis (or feet) to the top of our head. However, mystics have
always told us that in our heads there are more than just those two indigo and violet chakras. There are several chakras
above our crown chakra. These higher 5 Chakras pertain to the higher realms we reach into through our subconscious and
super-conscious minds:
Chakra 8: Evokes Divine Love
Chakra 9: Soul experiences from our cumulative lives
Chakra 10: Merges our masculine and feminine sides and awakens our Divine creativity and synchronicity
Chakra 11: Awakens our advanced spiritual skills, such as telepathy and telekinesis
Chakra 12: Our Divine connection to the cosmos
These are just some interesting side notes about the number 12. We should always remember… we are already living in
perfection. We only need to realize and actualize it.
This Second Step of Scientific Prayer is the first part of the 3-part activation process. In the First Step we transcend by
combining The Eternal Field and the Cosmic Vibration. Now, with the second, third, and fourth steps, we purify and
activate our inner world and inner resources. The second step is the beginning of this purification. Again, the Six Steps can
be thought of as three different processes -- To Transcend.. To Activate.. and To Pray. Activation is very important in
clearing our channels so that our thoughts can be manifested more easily. We become tools and bodies of Light through
the spiritual activation we are awakening.
Lastly, there is one final mantra that we can use: "Om Narayana, Narayana, Narayana". Repeat this 12 times as you step on
a plane, get on a bus, enter a train, or start up your car. Just like many Christians pray to Saint Antoine to protect them on
their travels and Hindus pray to Gods to reach their destination safely, Om Narayana, Narayana, Narayana also works as a
protective mantra on your journey and travels.
A Few Words About "Mah":
As was said above, the "Mah" part of the Om Namah Shivaya mantra purifies the aqueous element of our bodies. Water is
vital to our body, our health, and well-being. As is commonly known, the human body is about two-thirds water. It is
interesting to remember that our Earth is also approximately two-thirds water. As beings of this planet, it seems logical
that we physically resonate with our world. Probably beings on other planets also resonate with the same matter-to-water
percentages on their planets as we do on ours.
In any event… back to "Mah," and the aqueous aspect of our bodies. To say that our bodies are made up of two-thirds
"water" is not entirely accurate. More correctly, our bodies are made up of about 30 different water-based liquids and
fluids*.
When we think about it, our bodies are miraculous! From the things we drink (water, juice, teas, etc...) our bodies
transform these drinks into our various bodily fluids such as mucous, saliva, stomach acid, plasma, blood, bile, lymph, tears,
urine, earwax, and spinal fluid. Each one is created with a different acidity, alkalinity, pH, viscosity, weight, texture,
molecular structure, function, etc… All produced from the liquids we drink and the processes in our body. If something
goes wrong with any of these fluids, or in any step in the process of generating them, we will have a major health problem.
Below is a list of our bodily fluids. Through awareness repetition of what "Mah" means, we purify them all. All liquids or
liquid-based. So when we repeat "Om Na-MAH Shivaya", one of the things we do is we purify these 30 different bodily
fluids:
Amniotic fluid*
Breast milk*
Chyme
Female ejaculate*
Pericardial fluid
Pus
Semen*
Tears
Aqueous humour and vitreous humour
Cerebrospinal fluid
Endolymph and perilymph
Gastric acid
Mucus (nasal drainage and phlegm)
Rheum
Sputum
Urine
Bile
Cerumen (earwax)
Exudates
Gastric juice
Peritoneal fluid
Saliva
Synovial fluid
Vaginal secretion*
Blood serum
Chyle
Feces - Diarrhea
Lymph
Pleural fluid
Sebum (skin oil)
Sweat
Vomit
*Gender specific fluids.
Out of this list, the production of Breast milk is one of the most fascinating. It is not only a gender specific fluid produced
during pregnancy, but also continues to be temporarily made for several months after a baby is born. The mother's body
produces a highly nutritious milk for her baby to grow. It is it's first meal. Day in and day out her body produces breast milk
for her child. Then it slowly stops as the baby is weaned, only to return with the next pregnancy. Amniotic fluid is just as
fascinating as Breast milk. It is the first environment where we grow and develop in for nine months. We are not in air at
this time, rather we are floating in an enriched liquid. The formation of these two unique, temporary, liquids in and of itself
should tell us that there is a Divine intelligence operating within our Universe.
Step Two Exercises And Experiments:
1. For twelve days, sit quietly twice a day, close your eyes, and meditate on "Om Namah Shivaya". A candle, incense, or
flower may help you with this. Let your mind transcend to the Eternal Field/Cosmic Sound (OM)...then through your
physical body (NA), saliva (MAH), body temperature (SHI), breath (VA), and thought (YA). Experiment with meditating once
in the morning and once in the evening.
2. For twelve nights, go to bed 15 minutes earlier and repeat Om Namah Shivaya while lying on your right side with your
right palm facing up. Try to feel a difference between this way and the first exercise.
3. Stop for a moment and look to see where the number 12 is around you. What month are you in? What time is it?
What hour is it? What minute is it? What is today's cycle of the moon? Are you in the 12 hours of the day or the 12 hours
of the nights?
4. Read The 12 Laws of The Universe before going to bed and ask yourself where each law applies in your Life.
5. In your meditations, expand Na, Mah, Shi, Va, and Ya to where they are as universally encompassing as Om, Amen, Aum,
Allah, and Tao are. For example, try to envision Na in planets and asteroids. Mah in the ice on Neptune and Uranus. Shi in
our Sun and Stars. Va in the winds on Jupiter. And Ya as the intelligence orchestrating it all.
6. Make a list of 20 all-encompassing words. One word that contains many others. For example, words like "Fruit",
"Vegetable", "Planet", "Trees"... etc. This exercise will help us in our thoughts when we repeat Om Namah Shivaya. Write
down the all-encompassing word and then underneath it write 10 examples of the words it contains.
7. Update your journal. Write about how you are feeling now. Less hate? Less anger? More joy? More peace?
One of the reasons your emotions are becoming more in balance is because you are starting to see and experience the
beauty
and wonder within yourself, instead of the suffering and injustices you perceive outside of yourself.
8. Listen to music while pondering the number 12.
ABOUT THE 3-BOOK SERIES
The three books in this series approach Scientific Prayer from three different angles.
Book one – (Steps One and Two) give more of an analytical explanation of Scientific Prayer and aim for us to look behind
our materialistic world to the True Source from where all abundance springs.
Book two – (Steps Three and Four) give a more imaginary, pictorial, and interplanetary view of Scientific Prayer. It’s aim is
to illustrate and help expand our mind and consciousness with the help of our three passions and the 5-pointed star.
Book three – (Steps Five and Six) give more of a logical, technical, and reasonable approach to Scientific Prayer. It’s aim is
to help us to use writing and our rational thinking in designing our prayers and actively trigger abundance into our Lives.
All three books combined are to help us build our own Abundant Link. A Link, through thought, that starts from our
innermost being to the outermost reaches of our Cosmos.
I hope for you that this first book has achieved some of its objectives!
