YOUR SPIRITUAL RESCUE KIT FOR THE 2020s AND BEYOND This new grimoire of the faithful offers psychic First Aid against the stunning challenges of the coming decades. Count on these universal prayers to carry you through the rocky road ahead. Stay one step ahead of the general madness and hysteria with sweet prayer on your lips, coping with almost anything. For "prayer unties the knot of the mind's suffering" (Sufi). The Silent Search: Learning to pray can be humbling. And that’s just the point! - Modesty is the open secret of the mystery schools and of all the saints and shamans. It comes from the heart; it is interior work and is entirely up to you. It’s your garden, and frankly, most of the Work is about eradicating bad habits (pulling the weeds); underneath the sod lies a bright soul. As a silent search for atonement mounts among us, blessed Light continues to descend, bringing the prophesied Dawn of Redemption, a tribulation that finds each of us seeking repentance in our own way. As these stressful hours before the Dawn bring us face to face with treachery, misfortune, abandonment or despair, a godsend of solace awaits in these haunting hymns and bracing chants, the quiet path to peace of mind. Revealed (in all its simplicity) is the faithist Rite of Claiming and the Masters' supreme commandment: Be happy. Be happy with what you have (instead of unhappy with what you don’t have). But most of all: Be yourself!! Longtime faithist and veteran author, Dr. Martinez likes writing about the Quest. This her latest book is by turns enchanting, solemn, whimsical, poetic, full of charming anecdotes and digressions, like the origin of the Tibetan prayer-wheel, or the amazing discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the wilderness of Judea; or the origin of the Maharishi Effect. We are driven to know exactly why and when prayer works (or doesn’t). Our healing affirmations are strengthening; and one whole chapter is devoted to banishing your demons. Nothing, after all, stops us from going directly to the Highest Authority – simply by sincerely wanting to. Of course, most of us only turn to prayer, not from some sacred impulse, but from pure desperation - personal crisis, betrayal, heartbreak, rage, bewilderment, chaos! Praying, at all events, is better than therapy, and cheaper. There are mantras and meditations for every occasion and emotion. Prayer holds the power to bring souls out of their torments. Before the pandemic hit, the book idea for Prayer had sprung from a desire to fight Distrust and Bitterness. And now, with the old paradigm unraveling so quickly, there is an urgent need to Get It Right. This time. We go with writer Dan Burke who says, “I don’t pray because I am holy; I pray because I am not.” And let's explode a few other myths about religion and holiness. With today's world moving ever closer to a shared Faith, One God, these little prayers are carefully chosen from every land and clime, spotlighting the bold and forthright African, the matter-of-fact Hindu, the pensive Gnostic, the driving Chant Ways of the Navajo, the liberating ghazals of the Sufis, the scathing hymns of the Essenes, and the pure canticles of the Celt. Informative, comforting, enjoyable, touching, important and inspiring, Prayer indulges in the mundane and the marvelous with equal respect.
