PRAYER
All these ideas are common. They have no direct relationship with panoramic sensing.

Forgive Me
Forgive me, i don't know what i've done. As Jesus on the cross says "forgive them, they know not what they do". Forgive me. I've cherished my ego. I haven't given 100%. Forgive others, they have less hope and more need. Forgive us we don't know what were doing.
I Love You
As in Jesus greatest commandment : "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your strength, and with all your understanding". My understanding of God is a sublime spirit energy. My understanding is love with all my imagination, creativity, my body.Love brings us into contact with magic. Opening up to the greater energies is the only way to let them work on us. Love is the simplest and probably the most direct way of opening up to the greater energies. If we want truth, we need to love truth.
Thank You
Thank you for life. Without the great creative energy we wouldn't exist. And if we touch the great energy, peace, or happiness, it's essential to feel thanks because otherwise our ego will rejoice in itself.
Help Me
Help me and help us. Help me live in the truth. Help our vulnerability and our weaknesses. Help us all, we are lost and confused.Maybe just asking for help can be successful, but why deny the greater energy? – Dear Spirit please help us. Have mercy on us.
Prayer for Others
Prayer can also be for others and here blessing in my own name is arrogant, destined to cause ego-pride – here we need a great spirit. And then i find it's helpful to have a simple name likeWith every breath, bless one old friend, and if we can stretch that to one old misunderstanding, or even one enemy, then good. God bless Patrick, God bless Linda, God bless Jasmine, God bless Andrea, etc. etc.
The Lord's Prayer
I find the idea of "Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name" very limiting.I often pray "Dear spirit which is everywhere, my life is in your hands". Or "Dear spirit who is everywhere, i love you ".
And then: "Give us this day our daily bread". The word "manna" is translated simply as bread. Originally "manna" referred to the bread of heaven, the Holy Spirit. Originally this meant "Let your spirit enter us today"; or "Please send us your Holy Spirit today."
Dear Spirit come to us today, work in us today, work through us today.
Dear Spirit which is everywhere, please let me sense you around me and inside me.
I find new prayers are always developing as an expression of, and creative response to needs.
In Addition
We are all addicted to something. An inspiring collection of everyday common-sense prayers can be found on the Alcoholics Anonymous Prayer Sheet.Some of my recent personal prayers can be found in Experiments and Combinations.
Oponopono
Oponopono is a new-age prayer from Hawii : "forgive me, i love you, i'm sorry, thank you".Oponopono is better than many other new-age methods. It is pure in its simplicity. But the new-age influence is clear, it recognises no great creative God in its prayers.
And now instead of a great spirit, we find this replaced by other focal points. Now online the first things we'll find is Oponopono for success and making money and – perhaps the greatest temptation to modern egoism – the cleverness of complex theories on how and why it works.
There is something essential missing from most of these new-age theories. Oponopono originates from a time when an almighty spiritual essence was just taken for granted, it was present in everything we did and thought, it was part of our mind-set. Another part of that mind-set was that people weren't as self-centred – in those times we lived for and because of our social group.
These features need integration in modern Opono' otherwise it is just a remnant, a shell, an empty theory with a cool name. This applies to most modern ideas on Buddhism, yoga, etc.
