Prayer is a Journey

John Wheelerwrote a book that he calls a prayer journey from sinner to saint for anyone who is on the journey. Isn’t that all of us?  Welcome to this edition of Newsgram! What happens when a man with an analytical mind takes a spiritual journey? It can lead to some interesting results. Today we’re going to take a spiritual journey while debunking a few myths surrounding some of the most popular biblical stories.   We are all on our own Journey and we follow a path guided by our own internal compass and by our beliefs and experiences. Whatever your path, whatever you’re doing for personal growth, it’s what makes you unique. We bounce through life doing the best we can right? Try not to hurt anyone, be of service to others and be in the right place mentally when the tough times come — they always come.  Today I want you to meet John Wheeler. He’s a pretty fascinating guy and he’s going to share his journey with us today. He wrote a book called “Prayer is a Journey” and while it is a spiritual one, he talks about it so matter-of-factly that you can’t help but be intrigued by it.  John Wheeler – It was like getting on Aladdin’s Magic Carpet you know. A magical ride that starts with a phone call of sorts and what do you do when the phone rings? Well….you answer it.  John Wheeler – I was told to by God. All that knowledge that I put in the book I  acquired over years. I tell them about my journey, my journey of prayer. I’ve had some experiences with God helping with different things. I was ordered to do it. For myself I couldn’t care less.  I told you he was an interesting guy. He’s obviously an author but he’s also a Lawyer, a Marriage counselor and a modern day Mystic.  He was also Foundation president of Big Brothers Big Sisters in Australia for fifteen years. He also knows a thing or two about physics.  John Wheeler – I was top of the class in physics so I like physics and when I saw this bit about after the flood God put a bow in the sky I thought to myself that’s nonsense. A rainbow is formed by light being refracted by droplets of water so rainbows have been around for years. Long before Noah and then I discovered one of God’s tricks or methods. I shouldn’t say tricks. He will say things that are patently silly to get a message across and there’s one of them.  So he’s not against religion when he says these things didn’t happen, he’s just saying you need to think about them differently. They didn’t happen the way you were told but to know the difference you need to pray.   John Wheeler – Anyone that understands physics knows that rainbows have been around long before Noah. Secondly, there never was a flood. The flood refers to the path, the time in your life when your soul is cleansed  and then you live in the art with all your family and that’s how we live a quiet life in the ark. The art was supposed to be made of timber; well timber loses its strength at 300 feet. There’s ben people in America that built an ark, cost them millions of dollars, they went out to sea, got into a storm, it fell to bits and they all died. They’re allegories. You have to spend a lot of time praying and you have to have a lot of inspiration, a lot of gifts to understand the allegories. How did the ark get across the ocean? It had to get up the Amazon river. It’s a really strong river, 300 miles, it had to get up 3000 miles, not possible. How did Noah understand two million creatures? Some say it was twenty million creatures but even two million it’s just not possible. How would he know two million creatures? Not possible. So it’s just not possible if you use your common sense you say it’s just not possible.  Some of that is controversial depending on your belief sy
