In today’s episode of” Healing From Within” host Sheryl Glick, Reiki Master Teacher and author of” Life Is No Coincidence”, invites special guest Rev. Dr. Steve Brannon author of “The Two Agreements” for a discussion on various interpretations of biblical teachings in the Gospel and offers a new modern way to perceive the world of energy life, spirit, healing, and ways to interact through meditation, healing work, and appreciation for life and love as the path to knowing ourselves and our Universe more fully. The” Good news Gospel” that Dr. Brannon discusses suggests that God is perhaps a kinder or more humane influence than the demanding and judgmental God of the ancient writings and concepts.
Dr. Brannon in his new book “The Two Agreements” offers his interpretation of the original ancient gospel and his reinterpretation of the message he believes Jesus and all messengers of higher consciousness and divine energy have brought to us over generations and life times of seeking to know the thoughts and wishes for humanity of God. Believing that Jesus was not so much interested in the restrictions and fears or power plays by the religious and political forces of his time, but, believing Jesus simply wished to lead others to recognize, as he did, that their own divine soul nature was a force for a personal and intimate connection and dialogue with Source or God, as some prefer to call the Universal Life Energy, is a main focus of Dr. Brannon’s book.
Rev. Dr. Steve Brannon has a very interesting combination of professional and personal life experiences. Steve is retired from a military career in the U.S. Air Force and in the U.S. Navy as a commissioned surface warfare officer. He was assigned to the Armed Forces Staff College and designed lesson materials in a professional development course for mid-level commissioned officers. Licensed as a minister at age 19 he holds a Doctorate of Divinity from the University of Esoterica. Rev. Dr. Brannon is an interfaith spiritual minister who offers counseling to ex-offenders and assists them in securing admission to local support or mental health groups for a new chance to improve their lives.
The very first question that Sheryl asks Steve about going from a Minister’s life to service in the Military, and his answer, will give listeners a fabulous insight into how every experience is a way to discover or rediscover the main purposes and values of life. Dr. Brannon also discusses the “Emergent Conversation” an important topic in his book, and how it provides a way to a modern view of self and Spirit. The focus of this practice or thinking has a mysticism to it, and in describing living the life of a mystic, Dr. Brannon expresses that nearly every mystical path regardless of religious affiliation suggests that the experiences of divine conscious enlightenment, and union with God, are available to everyone. In the pursuit of higher consciousness and connection in the Union of oneness miraculous things are certain to happen.
Sheryl and Steve also discuss his Reiki I training and his understanding of distant healing as a connection to Divine Energy channeled through Source to receptive and willing people. Dr. Brannon will also describe what is known as “The Open Space” and entering the Silence and practicing stillness. In following Rev. Dr. Steve Brannon’s journey of discovering the interconnectiveness of self to the Divine and other souls we may realize that many of us have felt the numbness and longing to remember a time and place at the beginning where eternal souls were one in Unity with Source of the Creator of Life and while striving to function in a challenging and complicated physical world may have forgotten the power of our eternal energy essence and the need to align to Source. A loving Source which offers guidance and support and the courage to know ourselves and God more fully leads us to becoming the best example of a creative, connected bright light, in working with our human and divine aspects of Self.
