We are presently living at a truly extraordinary time of profound transformation. Most people, wherever they may be living in the world, are presented with very real and great dangers but equally real and perhaps even greater opportunities. To survive and thrive in the 21st century it is essential to activate our intuition and to awaken our spiritual consciousness. The royal road, the fundamental skill, to achieve this is prayer. Integrating the teachings of the spiritual tradition, of the Eastern Orthodox Church, and of Psychosynthesis, the author who has personally experienced the theory and practice of prayer in his own being life and observed many different people in different cultures do the same, aims at making prayer become conscious: alive, meaningful, and effective. While the essential prayers were drawn from the Christian tradition, the same can be done with prayers coming from any valid tradition. The "key" here is to be able to contact and drawn down the Light from the inner Source that already dwells at the core of our being.
