Synopsis "The Christ Centered Prayer: Revelation - Strait Gate and Narrow Way (in English)"
In 1973, while visiting a shrine in Lourdes, France, I had my first mystical experience. I worked as a certified counseling psychologist, but afterward, I resigned and began a spiritual quest. I traveled the world, studying with Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu masters. My spiritual truth-seeking ultimately brought me into a relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship allowed Jesus to reveal the Christ Centered Prayer Method via the Strait Gate and Narrow Way.I met Reverend Sandra Casey-Martus at a retreat center in 1993. We formed a teacher-student relationship. I worked with Sandy until she was firmly grounded in spiritual truth and a relationship with Jesus Christ. Sandy and I founded the Contemplative Invitation Teaching, and Sandy began to share the Christ Centered Prayer Method. The response to the Christ Centered Prayer has always been phenomenal. It has changed lives, and many have been brought in-to the reality of a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our books The Lessons: How to Understand Spiritual Principles, Spiritual Activities, and Rising Emotions, Second Edition, Volumes One and Two are an introduction to the Christ Centered Prayer method. They are also a study guide of spiritual principles, and they define more than four hundred topic lessons that seekers may encounter along a spiritual journey. The Christ Centered Prayer: Revelation - Strait Gate And Narrow Way, Second Edition has been updated and includes additional material. It is an in-formational, all-inclusive inventory of the profound truth possibilities. They provide rich details of how Christ Centered Prayer may assist you in turning within. The purpose is to help you, who wish to understand the Christ Centered Prayer Method, its workings within the Spiritual Heart Center, and its profound power to help you realize the awareness of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. Your Kingdom is not of this world. Your peace beyond understanding is not of this world. Your eternal life is not of this world. The awaken-ing to your Kingdom, peace, and eternal life is within. The Christ Centered Prayer: Revelation: Strait Gate And Narrow Way intends to make known a sacred, silent prayer revealed for this generation and future generations. The Christ Centered Prayer may support, strengthen, and deepen an ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ through the power of His Holy Spirit. "For through him, we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father" (Ephesians 2:18). Truth is full of contradictions. We must use the word you throughout this book to communicate on this relative plane of opposites. In reality, to realize the truth is to go beyond the personal sense of you, realizing truth is true freedom.
