Can Prayer help?

Why Pray?

The following has been compiled over some time, the words come and are written down, some from rational intellectual thought, others just come unbidden. It can never be a completed or “finished” essay since new thoughts and understandings come each and every day.:-

Humans see everything through judgmental perspectives, so everything is either positive or negative. God is good, the Devil is bad. This is a human interpretation, but God is not human.

God is neutral, because God by definition is the creator of creation and thus has the continuation of creation as the objective. This will result in apparent indifference to individual human needs and aspirations. Why should any entity, who has the entirety of creation both physical and ethereal, to manage, be concerned about the activities of one speck of sand in an infinite desert?

God has to be neutral since, in every aspect of creation both physical and ethereal; If there is a positive force created, this automatically creates negative. (Taoism; only by defining something as good do you recognise others as bad) Yin cannot exist without Yang. Even Newtonian physics has a basic law which states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Everything thus contains both. Stability can only occur when a balance between the two is found.

Human “free will” is part of the creative process, that God (by definition) initiated, free will enables creative ideas to be generated, and so creative energy to be released into creation.

Creation particularly the sum total of everything in creation, is, and has to be, in balance. Individual parts can be positive or negative, but the total is balanced.

If we have positive, we must have an equal and opposite negative. This existence of this equal and opposite “force” need not be within, or even local to, the same item, place, or event as the positive; it just has to exist.

So, God is neutral? it has to be, to ensure the continuation of creation. Why then should we strive for the positive? If we do not, we will be consumed by the negative and balance will be disturbed. We only have to look around to see so much negativity in action to know we must strive for the positive just to keep some sort of balance. If the negative forces obtain such a level of superiority that balance is totally destroyed then creation ceases, utter desolation and the grand experiment with “life” will end. So, in many ways, our striving for positivity is running hard to stay in the same place, which sound futile, but the alternative is to be carried backwards over the abyss.

So why pray offering thanks for positives, to God, Gaia, and Guardian Angels every day? Because we are thankful for the balance, thankful we are not being swept away by the negativity that is created by other humans. Greed, jealousy, envy, fear, anger, rage, sadism and even masochism are all negative emotions. By being thankful, by having the intention to avoid these, we move to a neutral if not a positive, mental and emotional state. By Prayer we can offer ethereal support to the efforts being made to counter the negative forces generated by others. We can help achieve that balance.

Since our physical existence is as a re-formed bit of Gaia, and on physical death these bits will return to Gaia’s dust; we offer Prayers to Gaia from who our physical being is formed. God may not be able to help change the physical world ( Gaia) but it can guide us to the best way to cope/use/ be within it.

Jesus, the prophets, Lao Tzu, Buddha were for their age, now we have quantum physics. Now God is vibration, the ultimate vibrational energy, the energy that caused creation, the vibration that started it all. We cannot have any claim to be able to influence any power so vastly greater than ours. We can never demand, only request and give thanks for anything and everything that is “positive” during each day, to help remember these positives, even on a day which seems to be dominated by the negative forces, try to keep a list of the positives, as each event occurs.

Prayer sends out very strong- emotion powered- thought forms ( vibrational energy) this may influence any being which is receptive to those forms.

Personally I use a Prayer routine that includes yoga (cat dog cobra child) and 20 press ups 10 sit ups 10 leg raise then seeking mental stillness before offering Prayers of thanks, (It may be that the physical exhaustion stops the physical interfering with the spiritual work) These Prayers list the positives recorded during the day, and thank God for organising creation so that it occasionally helps me, this help may be accidentally or as collateral effect from a greater task, since cannot expect God to personally help anything as insignificant (compared to Creation) as me- Thank Gaia and Guardian angels. Then try to visualise “Connections” ( the asking that all creators of positive forces gather together to send out a wave of positive creativity though all of creation.) Pray for guidance to be given to named others. Sleep while focused on the positives of the day, helps re-setting yourself to neutral even in troubled times.

Gaia is only a tiny infinitesimally small part of creation, and indeed may even be accidental, but it exists, we exist. Even quantum understanding which suggests that all things are amalgamations of vibrating energy (which leads some to conclude that nothing is physically solid) does not deny that we exist. It does not matter if we exist as collections of vibrating energy or as solid physical object we still exist. Sentience has evolved just as the physical bodies evolved, into the many forms that exist on Gaia today. It is probable that many other physical forms exist on other planets, given the multi billions number of these that occur in our universe and in all of creation. It is probable that some of these other physical life forms are capable of Prayer, there is an infinite number of possible variations as to what form such Prayers can take. In creation all things are possible and vast number of things are probable. Keep trying for the positive, it can not hurt!
