the use of Prayer how to use it whether to use it at all
now that word can mean many different things it can mean going to church and
saying please God let me have that job I promise I'll be good if you only let me
have that job I practice that as a child
please let there be some peace in my family didn't work so from somebody who
went to church every Sunday then at 12 I must have decided that there was no
point anymore
but there are many different kinds of prayer there are petitionary prayers you
would like something they may sometimes work but you never know whether it was
the prayer whatever you would have gotten it anyway there are more
effective ways if you really feel that you need to want something but be
careful it won't make you happy but that's another story if you really feel
you want something you can use affirmation and visualization and when
you get it enjoy it don't look for yourself in it don't look for to it for
deep inner fulfillment or some kind of permanent permanently enhanced sense of
self or permanent happiness nothing that you achieve can give you that knowing
that you can play around with the world of form and Jesus already explained how
to pray for something and that is we said when you pray for something feel as
if you already had it as if it had already been given so
you're not saying I want something because if you say I want something it
affirms a lack it it says on the other side the unexpressed side I don't have
it so when you say I want it you're also stating that you don't have
it so you're praying at the same time not to have it if you affirm and
visualize that it is already here and you feel as if you had it that's the
feeling that you want to get from it you already have that feeling and that's the
truth because you're imagining that it's going to give you feelings of peace or
happiness which is always in you already if you go just got inside deep enough
but let me know I don't want to discourage you from playing around in
the world of form so why not try it out visualize that it is already yours it's
you have it and you feel what you feel as you have it thank you for giving me
that it's beautiful whatever it may be the house you already in it feels good
thank you it's nice to have that house Thanks yeah it's already there it's more
likely to manifest in that way and then you move in and you go from there then
you sit there you feel all great I've got it
and then the old mind patterns come up in the new house
in the other prayers that are used the oil in different religions and they can
be called pointers they are more advanced prayers they appoint us to a
particular state it's not that uttering those words produces magically
the state what matters when you utter certain words or prayers then most of
them are short is really the stillness that comes after that Buddhism for
example has the Metta meditation which is a kind of Prayer which starts with I
believe May everybody on this planet be well and happy and then after you've
uttered those words there's a stillness
and then it says to me everybody in this country we weren't happy
Metta means loving kindness and then there's a stillness me every being in
this city be well and happy stillness me everybody in this house be well and
happy may I be well and happy and it takes you into a stillness and the being
of well and happy is already there in the stillness it's there it's brights
you could become still it would sprite anyway even without the words because
whatever state of consciousness you are in effects the totality and in turn is
the totality manifesting through you and we have the beautiful Christian prayer
by Saint Francis I believe let me be an instrument of thy peace
where there is hatred let me sow love and so on where there is injury pardon
and so on and those prayers are openings they open
if they open a door and the August they take you into stillness and they are
beautiful most prayers operate still on the level
of duality even when you say let me be an instrument of thy peace you are still
using the language of duality is me and I presumably is God there's me and
there's God so God is perceived still as something or someone separate from me
nevertheless it's a beautiful prayer and if stillness follows the prayer in the
stillness you have transcended duality so most players are realistic and then
you can have although the meta prayer in Buddhism is that may all beings be well
and happy is fine there's no duality really there although you're still
saying there are many beings ultimately there's only one but what can you do
you're using language and then there are short things that are almost like
mantras just single words peace for example the word itself doesn't produce
peace but it is a pointer stillness one of the most beautiful pointers to be
found in the Old Testament be still and know that I am God and this is why if we
can call that a prayer it is a kind of prayer
it is a prayer where you allottee is transcended and it is a miraculous
prayer the worst of which it consists are all synonyms for one single thing
be still know I am God be being one being such in sanskrit being and
stillness are one it is the stillness of being itself before it becomes comes
into existence as something be still know in the stillness that is being
there is a deep knowing non-conceptual a deep intelligence not words not
thoughts deeper than thought because it's the primordial seat of all
intelligence be still know I am it is the innermost sense of beingness or I am
God the divine the source the one and you put these words together each word
signifies also the other they are all one be still know I am God
miraculous
so that is those are advanced prayers and powerful they put you in touch be
still and know that I am God is one of the most powerful and beautiful pointers
to the truth and one of those rare ones that uses language without taking you
into duality
