One of my greatest mentors and dearest friends over the last ten years is author and scientist Gregg Braden. When we first met in 1998, along with Doreen Virtue, we decided to embark upon a Great Experiment to see if a large group of dedicated individuals could impact world events through the use of an affirmation based form of prayer.

We set a simple goal: Choose a particular place in the world, one where cooperation and compassion seemed to be anything but present, and project the FEELING that “peace prevails now.” We have conducted this experiment in Iraq, Israel and many other places, and are convincedthat this technology of prayer is not only a powerful force, but also perhaps the most powerful force in the Universe.Here is an example of one such experiment. In 1999 the US and its allies were on the brink of war with Iraq. Saddam Hussein had forced the United Nations inspectors out of the country and there didn’t seem to be any way to avoid an international conflict. Gregg, Doreen and I were speaking at a conference in Florida on November 13, and we decided to announce a worldwide meditation, praying peace into that tenuous and dangerous situation.

Emails were sent around the world through many online communities, and by the time the moment for the vigil arrived, hundreds of thousands of people from around the world were joining us. We were on stage together leading the prayer, which was being broadcast over the Internet, and we could feel the power. I remember thinking that it was “raining peace,” but it wasn’t until the next morning that we realized just how powerful the effect was in Iraq. According to the morning news, President Clinton had decided to begin the bombing campaign the evening we were engaged in prayer. In fact, the fighter jets that would begin the bombing were already in the air waiting for their final orders. Precious time passed and the pilots wondered about the delay. Then to the astonishment of everyone involved, President Clinton ordered the jets back to their ships.

Some time later, as if reconsidering the order, the jets were sent back into position. Again the order to release the weapons never came and the jets returned with their weapons cache still filled. A stand down order had been given, but no one really knew why. Does it amaze you to know that this happened at the same time hundreds of thousands of people were focusing on peace for that region? Hopefully it doesn’t surprise you at all, for that would mean you already accept the power found within this secret tool for creating anything you want in your life, including peace. What we were able to do on an international level you can accomplish in your own life.

Imagine being Moses, an old sheep herder whose glory days had long since passed, when God asks him to go to the most powerful man on earth and ask for the release of his entire work force. The word impossible seems too small here. And yet Moses hardly hesitated. He immediately began the journey to the Pharaoh and made his demand, knowing all too well the response he would receive. But he was not dismayed. He knew that he held a secret that the Pharaoh could never understand, one with more power than an entire army. It took a short while for the Pharaoh to be convinced, but when he realized that
neither he nor his own magicians could match the secret Moses wielded, he opened the doors and let the Israelites
leave Egypt.

Now you possess the same secret as Moses – the sacred name of God. When you learn how to unleash its amazing power in your own life, you’ll discover what the greatest minds in history understood. The power of God is within you and you can do whatever you want with it. In reality you’ve been using it all along, just without your conscious recognition. Now that you are conscious you can use it to create goodness for yourself and everyone around you. In his book “The God Code,” Gregg Braden puts forth the premise that God's name is literally encoded into every human body. According to Gregg’s research, the basic
elements of DNA--hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon--directly translate into specific letters of the Hebrew alphabets (YHVA), which then translate into the original name of God. He believes that when we realize that the signature of God is carried within the cells of every person on earth, humankind will have the evidence it needs to overcome evil with good. In short, we will be
able to realize the greatest desire of every human – Peace.

Beyond Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, Native, Aboriginal, white, black, red, or yellow; man, woman, or child, the message reminds us that we are human. As humans, we share the same ancestors and exist as the children of the same Creator. In the moments that we doubt this one immutable truth, we need look no further than the cells of our body to be reminded. This is the power of the message within our cells. -Gregg Braden

The Moses Code is in your body and in our mind. Every cell sings the same song, the song of creation, and every heart beats to the rhythm of that melody. It is a force that transcends anything your mind can comprehend, and unites you with elemental forces that evade the intellect. The greatest minds on earth will never be able to dissect the complexity of this Secret, yet the most innocent among us resonate with it already. It is who we are, and when we unlock the Code, we are really unlocking the deepest part of our own nature.

So how do we unlock the Moses Code within us? If the name of God is within our very DNA, then it stands to reason that it is the actual foundation of our lives. God’s name, then, creates a resonance pattern that when activated aligns us with anything we desire, no matter how big or small. The book “A Course in Miracles” says that there is no degree of difficulty in creating miracles. In other words, a big miracle is no more difficult than a small one because they operate according to the same laws. Once we understand these laws, and then apply them, miracles occur naturally on their own. This means that there is no limit to what we can achieve. It doesn’t matter how much abundance you envision, how happy you want to be, what kind of car you want to drive,
what sort of house you want to live in, or what kind of relationship you want to enjoy – if you understand then apply the secret found within the Moses Code, achieving them should be no harder than manifesting $20.

In essence, unlocking the Moses Code means entering into the same conversation with God as Moses. The fact is that we are engaged in this conversation every moment of our lives. We sometimes call this prayer, but for most of us our concept of prayer is very limited. According to this, every thought is a prayer and creates a magnetic attraction that pulls whatever we’re thinking about into our lives. Unfortunately, we tend to think of prayer as asking for something that we want, based on something we think we need or don’t already have. If we pray and don’t receive what we want then our prayer of petition sometimes turns into a prayer of coercion.

There was once a young boy who heard about using prayer to get what he wanted. His parents told him that is he asked Jesus for what he wanted with enough conviction then Jesus would surely give it to him. That night he knelt down at the side of his bed to pray. “Dear Jesus, I really want a new red bike and my mother told me that if I pray hard enough you’ll give it to me. Please give me anew bike.”
The next morning he woke up to find there was no bike. The next night he knelt down again to pray. “Dear Jesus, I really want that new bike, and I believe that you’ll give it to me if I pray hard enough. Please give me a new bike.”The next morning, once again, therewas no bike waiting for him.

The boy was making final preparations for school when he passed the mantle where a statue of the Blessed Mother rested in the most prominent position. He found a piece of rope, took the statue from the mantle and wrapped the rope around it, then placed it in his backpack. When he arrived at school he opened his locker, placed the statue inside, then locked the door. That night before getting into bed, the boy knelt down to pray once again. “Dear Jesus…if you ever want to see your mother again…”

The Moses Code doesn’t work when you ask for what you want, but rather, when you “feel” then “know” that you already have the thing you are seeking. Then the very thing you are seeking is automatically drawn to you because the Universe does understand lack. It understands only abundance simply because God only gives, or expands. Even though the task God was asking Moses to complete seemed completely impossible from any rational frame of reference, Moses went forward in confidence and changed the world. When we enter into the same conversation with God with the confidence that everything we ask for is given to us, then we will do the same. The issue isn’t whether or not it’s being offered, but rather, whether you are able to open wide enough for it to be received.

The problem is that our conversations with God are usually one sided, not because God doesn’t answer us, but because we usually don’t listen to the answer. God answers us by giving us what we ask for. It’s that simple. Jesus said: “Ask and you shall receive.” Do you think that those were just nice words that he didn’t really mean? What if Jesus meant every word, and that it’s a law that works every time, whether you’re conscious of it or not? Think about that for a moment. God gives you everything you ask for every time. That can be a pretty scary thought if you’re surrounded by what you think you “don’t” want.

Guess what? There’s no such thing as not wanting what’s in your life. I wish there was a way to soften that terrible blow, but there’s really no way around it. The sooner you realize that fact the better because then you’ll start taking full responsibility for everything you experience, not just the things you like. If you go around thinking you asked for some things to happen while others you did not you’ll never be able to break the Moses Code. You’ll be sentenced to a prison of your own design, sitting behind a door that isn’t even locked. Touch it and it swings open, but only when you consider the possibility that you have the power of God within you every moment of your life. You built the prison, you condemned yourself to living there, you threw yourself into a cell and you closed the door.

There’s only one problem: God did not give you the power to lock it! Let’s stop for a moment and give thanks. This is very good
news for it means that there’s a built in default system completely beyond your control. There is a part of you, however, a very big part of you, that doesn’t want to hear what I just wrote. In fact, it will do anything it can to avoid it, even at the cost of its own happiness. When the ego is forced to choose between happiness and victim hood, it will always choose the victim. This is one of the strangest ironies of your ego’s life, that it doesn’t have your best interest at heart.

It would rather see you suffer than accept the truth. Why? Because the truth requires that you be responsible for everything that happens to you. Ahhhhh! This is too much to accept. That means that everything that has ever happened, both good and bad, happened because you wanted it to. It means you aren’t the weak little body your ego wants to believe in. It means…it means…
Houston, we have a problem! It would mean that you have the power of God within you and that there is nothing beyond your control.

As I said before, this is something to give thanks for, because now you have the wisdom and the ability to make a new
choice, one that reflects your freedom instead of your bondage. When you make choices from freedom, the result is more freedom. Once you accept that you can receive everything you want by simply recognizing that you already have everything you want, more of what you want is added to you. When you learn, and then practice “The Moses Code,” Your abundance will reflect your freedom,And everything you’ve ever desired will be yours.
