[THEME MUSIC]

GREGG BRADEN: My name is Gregg Braden.

And I'd like to welcome you to this very special presentation

of "Missing Links," the deep truth of our origin, history,

destiny, and fate.

In our last episode, we saw the experiments

that confirm in the laboratory what

ancient and indigenous traditions have told us

for thousands of years, that we are literally

wired to communicate with our body for health

and self-healing.

Well, in this episode what I'd like to do

is go beyond the laboratory, beyond theory,

to see this quantum link applied in the most intimate levels

of life and community.

So to illustrate this point, I'd like

to share with you a story-- it's a deeply personal story

for me-- about a time in my life when I was first exposed

to this quantum possibility and what

it means for us on an individual,

on a personal level.

My home is in the high deserts of northern New Mexico.

It's one of the most beautiful, amazing places remaining

in the world today.

It is very clean, pristine, and it

is the home for a number of indigenous communities.

And it was in the early 1990s that an indigenous friend

of mine called me on the phone and asked me

if I wanted to join him to pray rain

in a very, very specific place in the high deserts

of northern New Mexico.

So a little background here-- in the early 1990s,

one of the worst droughts in the history of all of the American

Desert Southwest was happening.

It had been over five years since a significant regional

rainfall had happened.

So at a pre-determined time on a very special day,

we met, and we hiked across 135,000 acres

of the most beautiful, fragrant, high-altitude sage

that you can imagine, until we came

to a place very similar to what you're seeing on the screen

right now.

And to protect the privacy and the integrity of my friend's

traditions, we're not showing the actual site,

and I want to be very honest with you about that.

But it was a medicine wheel that looked very similar to what

you're seeing right now.

And this medicine wheel, he said to me,

this wheel has been here for so long we don't even

know who built this.

But every stone of this medicine wheel

is in precisely the place where our ancestors placed it

and where we maintain it year after year

after year, generation after generation after generation.

And I asked my friend-- and to protect his privacy,

I'm going to call him David.

That's not his real name.

Now, I asked David, why this place?

What's so special about this place?

Why is the medicine wheel here?

And he said, this is a place where

the skin between the worlds is very thin--

where the skin between the worlds is very thin.

So he was referring to the veil that we sometimes

feel separates us in this world from the possibilities

of other worlds.

So for whatever reason, whatever anomaly,

whether it's a magnetic anomaly or a gravitational anomaly

or a climactic anomaly, his ancestors

had found that this place was very effective

for the time of prayers.

So I found myself on that day with this medicine

wheel with my friend David at the crack between the worlds

during one of the worst droughts in the history of the American

Desert Southwest.

My ears had heard him invite me to pray for rain.

That's not what happened.

And without the understanding of the previous episodes, what

I say next probably wouldn't make much sense,

but we have the benefit of those episodes.

So let me now share with you exactly what happened.

I wasn't prepared for what I saw next.

My friend David sat in the dirt next to me.

He unlaced the shoes of his old work boots.

And he stepped into the medicine wheel

with just his naked feet on the ground.

And he closed his eyes.

He carried a prayer mudra in front of him,

just for a few seconds-- just for a few seconds.

And then he turned around, and he looked at me.

And he said, I'm hungry.

I'm going to go for lunch.

And I said, sure.

I said, we can go for lunch.

But I said, I thought you invited me here

to pray for rain.

And this is when he turned and looked at me,

and what he said changed my life.

It changed my perspective and the way

I think about my relationship to the world.

I'm going to share it with you, and maybe it

will change yours as well.

Here's what he said.

I said, I thought you prayed for rain.

And he said, no.

He said, if I prayed for rain, rain could never happen.

Because the moment we ask for something

to happen in this world, in the asking for,

we are affirming that it does not exist now.

I'm going to invite you to think about that.

When we ask the universe for something,

we are implying that whatever we're asking for or asking

about or asking to appear or asking to happen

is not present in the moment.

And in that way, we are actually affirming

in the field the very thing that we were hoping to change.

I hope that makes sense.

The quantum field that we talked about in the last episode,

if you recall, it is the container for all things.

It is the bridge between us and the world,

between what happens in here and what happens out there.

And it is the mirror in our world for what we

claim to be true in our hearts.

So if you think about that, it makes perfect sense

if you're asking for rain, as I thought

my friend David was going to do, if he asked that, then

the field interprets that as him asking for no rain,

because the rain is not there.

So I looked at him, and I said, David,

if you didn't pray for rain right now,

what did you just do?

And he said, when I closed my eyes,

I felt the feeling as if the rain has already happened.

I felt the feeling of what it feels

like, he said, to stand in my Pueblo village

with my naked feet in the mud, and the mud

is there because there's been so much rain.

He said, I smelled the smells of what

it smells like when the rain rolls off of the earthen

walls of our Pueblo homes.

He said, I felt the feeling of what

it feels like when I walk through the fields of corn that

are this high against my naked chest.

And they're this high because there's been so much rain.

He said, I felt the feeling of what

it feels like when my prayer is already answered.

And then, I give thanks for what has already happened.

He said, in those few seconds, I felt the feelings

and I gave thanks for the rain that has already occurred.

This is a very, very powerful story to me.

And it illustrates a quantum principle.

Because there is a huge difference

between working toward an outcome and beginning as if

the outcome is already present.

I'm going to invite you to think about that.

When I was a young boy growing up

in a rural community in northern Missouri, I spent a lot of time

working in a farm environment, in a rural environment,

baling hay, mending fences, training bird dogs,

feeding cows, all those kinds of things.

I'd get cuts and bruises on my hands, my legs all the time.

And I remember my mom would always say to me--

and it was very well-intentioned.

But she'd say, the healing will happen slowly

over a long period of time.

She said, it will heal a little bit today and a little bit

tomorrow, a little bit the next day,

until pretty soon it's all gone.

And if we embrace that, if we think that way,

if we accept that, that is precisely the way

the healing happens.

This is a linear way of thinking about the world.

And I'm not saying it's right, wrong, good, or bad,

because there are times in our lives

we definitely want to think linear, OK?

If you're working on an assembly line at an auto factory,

and you're putting together the car

that I might drive later in that year, I want you to be linear.

I want you to do everything step by step by step,

working toward the goal.

When the scientists designed the Apollo capsules

to take a human to the moon and back, it was a linear process,

step by step, each one building on the last.

So I'm making a distinction here.

There are times when it's good to think linear and good to act

in a linear way.

But we have just discovered, science is telling us,

we are not bound by the linear laws of physics

as we know them today and that we have the ability

to be in both worlds.

And when it comes to our healing,

there's a huge difference between working

toward the healing and coming from the outcome

that the healing has already happened

or, in the case of my friend David, coming from the outcome

that the rain has already appeared.

Well we went into the nearest town, Taos, New Mexico,

we had lunch that day.

And by the time I came back on to my property

later that afternoon, something began

to happen that we had not seen for a very long time.

Big, black clouds were rolling in over the Sangre de Cristo

Mountains.

And it started to rain that afternoon.

And it rained and rained and rained.

It rained all afternoon.

It rained all night.

It rained all the next morning.

It was a mess.

There was so much rain, the roads were flooded.

The fields were flooded.

Cattle were stranded.

Crops that remained were ruined, because the ground

had been so dry it couldn't accept all the rain.

And I called my friend David on the phone.

And I said, David, this is a mess.

I said, what in the world is going on?

I said it has rained since I saw you yesterday afternoon.

It hasn't stopped.

And he was quiet just for a moment.

And then he said to me on the phone,

he said, Gregg, that's the part of the prayer

that the elders could never describe to me.

They couldn't tell me how to stop the rain.

They told me how to get it started,

but I never learned how much to make

and when to tell it to stop.

So I'm sharing this story now for a couple of reasons.

And one of those reasons is because I cannot say to you

as a scientist, I cannot prove as a scientist,

that David's prayer had anything to do with the rain that

happened.

I have to say that there is a high correlation--

a high correlation-- between the time that prayer was offered

and when the rain happened, a rain that

had not happened in that way for five years previous.

We have to say as scientists, there's a high correlation.

Because science is not at the place

yet where they can embrace the mechanism, the cause

and the effect.

Well, I watched the news that night

in that part of New Mexico.

We were able to pull in the TV stations

from parts of Colorado, southern Colorado,

and parts of northern New Mexico.

And I remember the weatherman on the Colorado station,

and he showed the weather map.

And he showed a low-pressure system coming

across northern Colorado.

And right about the time of Denver,

this low-pressure system dropped and made a loop right

around northern New Mexico where we were and came right back up.

And that low pressure is what brought the rain.

And I remember the weatherman.

He stepped back, and he looked at that very unusual-looking

pattern where the pressure system just dropped.

And all he said was, huh.

That was all he said.

Because he couldn't explain what was happening.

So I'm sharing this with you from a perspective

of everyday life, indigenous traditions,

what they have learned in their lives,

and how they apply quantum principles,

without using that term, in a very real way in their lives.

And what science has shown us is that high pressure

systems and low pressure systems, climate systems,

respond to magnetic fields.

The strongest biomagnetic field in the human body

is not in the brain.

It's in the heart.

The heart is literally hundreds of times

stronger magnetically than the brain is.

So I'm not surprised at the feeling, embracing the feeling

that the rain has already happened,

would create at least a localized effect, rain

over a particular village or maybe rain in a valley.

But I've never seen it happen on a regional scale

like I did with my friend David.

So this is an example.

Again, it's not scientific.

But it's real life.

And it opened my eyes to the possibility of quantum prayer,

where we began the prayer from the ending.

We begin at the place where we would

like the prayer to complete.

And I know that concept, and if you're taking notes

and you're writing this down, it sounds very academic.

What I'd like to do with you now that we've

shared these experiences and that you've

seen how the field works and the role that it plays,

I want to take this all out of the realm of academia,

and I want to bring this into something real,

concrete, tangible, awesome, profound, paradigm-shattering,

and something that, once you see, you will always remember.

You'll never forget what you're going to see next.

So to do this, I'm going to share another story.

This is the story of a healing modality

that was developed 500 years ago in the highlands of the Tibetan

Plateau.

It is a tradition that is very well known and accepted

in some parts of the Asian communities,

particularly in the medicine-less hospitals.

They are called "medicine-less hospitals,"

almost like an oxymoron that we see in Tibet.

And I've had the opportunity over the period of 10 years-- I

took a number of groups into Tibet,

I've seen these medicine less hospitals.

And they're in other parts of China as well.

And there is not only one.

It is a tradition of medicine-less healing.

Because many of the people there,

they simply don't have health insurance.

They don't have access to the high-tech gadgets

that many of us have in the Western world on the one hand.

On the other hand, they need to address the health issues

that they have.

So it was in a medicine-less hospital where a man I know

created a video, a film, that documents quantum healing,

a quantum healing that happens all the time

in their part of the world.

But he documented it on film to share it

in our part of the world.

And I'm going to be very clear about this.

He didn't create the film to advertise for the hospital

or to advertise for a clinic or for the tradition

that he is teaching.

He created this film, and I'm sharing with you,

to illustrate a potential, a possibility, that

is so very different from what we are led to believe

in our lives and in our world.

If you remember back to that inverted pyramid of thinking,

the perennial questions of science,

and the scientific assumption-- the false scientific

assumption-- that we are separate from our bodies

and that we're separate from the world around our bodies

and that we have little if any influence

when it comes to us feeling a feeling

and affecting the physical world.

For that reason, what you're about to see

has been very difficult for Western

practitioners, Western doctors, Western researchers to see.

A friend of mine spent a lot of money

through a very well-known organization

and went through a lot of time investigating

alternative modalities of healing

and published a beautiful hard-bound volume invalidating

those modalities of healing.

And it was after that volume had been

published I had the opportunity to visit with this friend.

And I said, would you like to see one more

that you haven't written about?

And I shared the video that you're going

to see here in just a moment.

And I have to say, that friend doesn't talk to me very much

anymore.

Because what I shared in the film was completely different

from all the conclusions this scientist

had come to in the research paper

because they have never allowed for the possibility

of the connection that you now understand.

They've never allowed for the possibility

of the field and our relationship

to the field and our ability to influence matter

through the field from the power of human emotions,

the very emotions that have been largely discounted

in the modern world, in the Western world.

So the film that you're about to see

was created in one of these medicine-less hospitals

in China.

And let me just set this up a little bit before we actually

see the film.

In these traditional hospitals, people

don't have access, as I mentioned, to high-tech gadgets

and scanners and surgery.

So a lot of what happens in terms of their healing

is done through traditional methods.

And traditionally, prayer has been

a very powerful form of healing in this part of the world.

So I want to be really clear about this.

It's not that people walk into a clinic with a problem

and they say, you know, I've got lunch in 20 minutes.

Can you fix me so I can get to my lunch?

It's not like that.

To go through one of these clinics

and to undergo the kind of healing you're about to see,

there's a preparation.

People are taught to change their diet-- it's not

a surprise-- to change their diet into really

healthy forms of raw, organic nutrients that come to them.

They've traditionally been organic

in this part of the world, long before there were ever

any pesticides or GMOs or anything like that.

But they're taught even more than that.

They're taught about physical movement, very specific kinds

of physical movement, forms such as Qigong where we are moving

energy in our bodies in very, very specific, very

precise kinds of ways.

They're taught to change the way they

feel about themselves, their thoughts, feelings,

and emotions.

Because those qualities are reflected within their bodies.

So they undergo a process of where

they are educated to begin to think, feel, and live

in a very different way from the way

they were thinking, living, and feeling before that led

to whatever condition it is that they have within their bodies.

And once they have done that, once they've

achieved that successfully, then it

may make sense to undergo the experience

that you're about to see.

So the woman that you're going to see in this healing

has gone to the traditional medicine-less hospital.

She was diagnosed with a bladder tumor that is inoperable, OK?

So she had gone to a big city, and the doctors had told her,

we can't help you.

And she said, thank you for your opinion.

I'm going to go back into the traditions that I know.

She is in the clinic, she is awake, she is conscious,

she is not anesthetized.

She believes in what's about to happen to her.

She embraces what's about to happen to her.

And she willingly accepts the healing

that's coming to her body.

And I'm saying this to you because people ask me

all the time, does the person receiving

have to believe in what's happening?

And you're going to see the answer to that.

The short answer is the effect is there no matter what.

Whether the effect remains, whether it lasts,

is determined by whether or not the person

is willing to embrace everything that they've learned,

the new ways of living to supporting and nurturing life

within their bodies.

So she is conscious.

She's not anesthetized.

There are three practitioners who are standing near her.

They are trained in the techniques.

This is an inner technology.

It is a form of Qigong.

It is a form of breathing and moving energy into the body

and sharing that energy with another human body.

And what makes this film especially significant

is there's another person in the room.

It is a technician with an old ultrasound,

an old-fashioned monitor that has a split screen.

So on that split screen, we can see two images simultaneously.

The left side of the image is going

to be a snapshot, a freeze frame, the before image of what

it is they're dealing with.

The right side you're going to see real time.

So this isn't a before-and-after photograph.

I want you to see real time how real this relationship--

your relationship-- with the quantum field can be.

So on the right side of the screen,

you're going to see real time the condition

that she's been diagnosed with disappear.

And it disappears in two minutes and 40 seconds.

And it's real time.

This isn't a time lapse like on a nature channel, where

you see a rosebud open in 10 seconds

but it's something that happens over two days.

That's not what this is.

This is real time you're actually

going to see this happen.

At the same time, you're going to hear the practitioners

saying a chant.

And I'm almost reluctant to use that word,

but it is a word that they are using,

because of the connotations.

I want to be clear about this as well.

There's no magic word that is making the healing happen.

The chant is a word that they have agreed among themselves

reinforces the power of the energy that is moving

through their bodies, OK?

So that chant that they are saying, you're going to hear,

loosely translates into "already done."

It's already healed.

Wa-sa.

Wa-sa.

Wa-sa.

Loosely translates.

my Chinese may not be precise.

But the point is, they are coming from the place

that the woman is already healed.

They are feeling the feeling as if she is already healed.

They are claiming and creating an energetic pattern

of an already-healed, fully-healed, fully-enabled,

fully-capacitated woman rather than buying

into the illusion of the tumor that she

has temporarily in that moment.

With that, let's take a look at this film.

I'm going to play it all the way through,

and then we'll talk about it.

And we're going to take this one step further.

So if you watch on your monitor, watch

on the screen, what you're going to see

is the film and the narration of the man who

actually made this film.

--years, the center has successfully treated more than

180 types of illnesses, including bladder cancer.

GREGG: OK, so you can see the practitioners behind.

You can see the ultrasound, the sonogram technician.

There's the woman's tummy.

It's exposed.

She obviously is awake.

OK, and here's the split-screen monitor.

On the left side is the snapshot that I was talking about,

a freeze frame in the moment in time.

And the blackness is the emptiness of the bladder.

The lump is the tumor.

In the curve is the floor of the bladder.

On the right-hand side, now you're

going to see the real-time image of the tumor, OK?

And what I'm inviting you to do now, what you want to do,

is watch and compare what's happening on the right side

real time with the before image on the left.

[CHANTING IN CHINESE]

[APPLAUSE]

GREGG: When we see something like this happen,

we call it a miracle.

It's only a miracle until we understand

what has just happened.

Then it becomes a technology, an inner technology.

And I realize that when you see something like this,

it means different things to different people.

And not everyone is open to this kind of technology.

In the year 2000, my mother was diagnosed

with cancer in her lung.

And she knew about my work, she had seen this film,

and I talked my mom.

And I said, how do you feel about this?

She said, Gregg, I know that these things are possible,

and I know that you believe it.

She said, for me, I just need to know that this tumor is gone.

She said, I need to know that it's no longer in my body,

and that will free me to make the changes in my life

so that I never have this experience again.

So in knowing that that tumor was no longer there,

she chose to undergo conventional surgery.

And when she came out of that surgery, in her mind,

knowing the tumor was no longer in her body,

freed her to experience a new lifestyle.

She began to exercise.

She changed her diet.

She began to think differently about herself.

And to this day, so 16 years later, she is cancer-free.

And I honored that for, her because that was her choice.

Not everyone is a candidate for this kind of healing.

However, for those that are, what I'm saying

is it's something that we participate in

rather than having done to us.

That woman participated in all of the preparation

before she was willing to accept that shift in her body.

And the question is-- I get questions

all the time about what we've just seen-- does it last?

As I mentioned, it will last if she

can embrace the changes she's been

invited to make in her body.

Did it take three technicians?

Did there have to be three technicians there?

And when I asked the gentleman that created the film

and I asked him this question, I said, did there

need to be three practitioners?

He said, Gregg, it's a very interesting question,

and here's the answer.

In truth, he said, one practitioner

could have done it.

He said, but there's something about us humans.

We feel more empowered when we are surrounded

by others that think as we do.

And one of the places where that becomes very apparent

is in a healing like this.

So the question is, what did those practitioners just do?

Well, we've already opened the door

to this answer in my story of David

and my story about the difference

between working toward an outcome

and beginning with the outcome.

As I mentioned, there is a very powerful difference

between working from the place that the healing,

or whatever the outcome is, if it's a relationship,

if it's a job, if it's a career, if it's

rain in the desert, whatever it is,

there's a powerful difference between working toward that

and coming from the place that already exists in your life.

And this is not a new idea.

So I'm going to shift gears just a little bit,

and I'm going to go back into one of our most

ancient and cherished spiritual traditions,

where we were given the instructions for what you

have just seen in that film.

We were literally given the instructions.

I think it's probably no surprise to most of our viewers

that the modern Bible as we see it today,

as a historical text-- I'm not talking about religion-- just

as a document of history, that that Bible

has undergone some revisions.

And one of the big revisions was in the fourth century

AD, or now Common Era, CE-- the fourth century, when

about 42 or 43 books were removed

during the time of the emperor Constantine,

or they were condensed, rearranged,

and translated in a way that appears

as we see those books today.

The question is, what did we lose in those 43 books?

Well, we don't have to ask without the answer.

Because in the 1940s, 1947, 1948, right around in there,

amazing discoveries in the Middle East

revealed the oldest records of the books that had been edited,

the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi library,

the Dead Sea Scrolls from the Old Testament,

the Nag Hammadi library from the New Testament.

And in the Nag Hammadi library in the Gospel of Thomas,

we actually find the instructions for the healing

that you've just seen.

I know that you've heard this before.

You've heard the axiom, ask and you shall

receive, that your joy be full.

You've also heard that sometimes things

are lost in the translation.

And this is one of those places.

Because when we go back and translate the original Aramaic

of "ask and ye shall receive," here's what the text says.

And I'm going to read this to you directly.

The text says, "Ask without hidden motive,

and be surrounded by your answer.

Be enveloped by what you desire, your gladness be full."

When we be surrounded with our answer

and be enveloped by our desire, that

is us being in the presence of the outcome of our prayer

as if it has already happened.

So now you know how this kind of quantum healing occurs.

The key-- I'm just going to summarize

very quickly for you-- is to feel as if your prayer is

already answered, is if your body is already healed,

as if your perfect relationship is already here,

as if your abundance is already present.

And when you feel, invoke all of your senses,

just like David did in the rain.

In that way, we embrace quantum prayer in our everyday lives

and we move from a miracle to a technology.

In our next segment, we'll zero in on the new evidence

of human origins that tell us now precisely why this quantum

prayer is possible for us and no other form of life

and why it is now time for a new story of our past.

I want to thank you for joining me for this program.

And I'm going to invite you to be sure

and tune in for next, all-new episode

of "Missing Links," the deep truth of our origin, history,

destiny, and fate.
