We are not alone. Never have been…never will be. We have been taught to think we are, to believe that we have been cast adrift in some way, and that our behavior determines whether or not we will be rescued. Some are…many atre not. Really?!? This is simply a man made limitation that has been perpetrated upon the willing for thousands of years. It is wrong. The intermediaries, the priests of the many world religions, have acted as go-betweens because we, the common folk, do not have the capacity to connect with Spirit, to talk with God. We know the results of this and how too many religions and holy men have become soiled, tarnished, manipulative, opportunistic, controlling, arrogant, and abusive. Too many have been killed in the name of my God, who is better than yours. And there is no room for them both…
Enough of that. We must abolish such beliefs on all energetic levels within us. The truth is simply that we need no intermediary to connect with God. It is in our design to communicate directly and easily with the Creative Source. We do so through prayer and meditation. Prayer is talking to God while meditation is listening. In practice they blend well with one another in the act of conversing with Spirit. They open the channels within to access the Whole of I Am that resides in all places. Opening to this idea is paramount to accessing the guidance and support that is bequeathed us at birth.
Prayer lifts us out of resistance and inertia and activates the channels of receptivity. It acknowledges that we are not alone and opens our being to support and information and love. It actively seeks relationship with life and beyond. It becomes our multi-dimensional calling card that invites the Cosmos to deliver to us the big picture. Prayer moves us beyond our own learned and adopted beliefs in limitations and reveals that we are oh, so much more. Prayer becomes the initiatory conduit that creates and amplifies the flow. It opens inner doors and reveals the depth of our own being, inviting us to step out of the prison of the comfort zone. Prayer is the comfort of a friend, a long time companion that is there in all forms and times of need or forgetting. Prayer is a reliable tool that expands the more we step into it and use it without hesitation. It is a conversation with God, with Higher Self, with our vast system of guides and energetic teachers. It is an inner call to connect, to get out of our own way and simply listen.
Prayer comes in a multitude of forms and practices. Each is useful and worth knowing and using. Each prayer is an action step, an acknowledgment of something bigger and beyond our own framework. In this flowing relationship we explore the greater dimensions of our own I Am and move into the realm of Oneness, where the rules of physics fall away into the fantastic and the mystical. Prayer requires a willingness to leap forward in faith…and then demands that we develop the muscles to listen…and, maybe even more importantly, act upon the guidance. Prayer expands us, it reveals the Grace of the Cosmic design, it soothes our heart and soul, it ignites our movement and faith to live in the allness of life. It brings awareness and a deep knowing and trust and simply lures us into the loving arms of a Multiverse that loves us.
