Mini 22

Getting battered here on Earth now and then (whether physically or mentally or emotionally) traps most of us in dark, negative thinking for a while. In those difficult times it helps to know there’s always a way back to the light.

When I see people suffering or struggling—especially people I care about—I see them close to my heart, and I focus on the source while thinking…

When the time is right, fill them with light. Help them find peace and purpose.

That little prayer certainly makes me feel better, even if it has no big effect on the people I’m praying about. It may not suddenly enhance their relationship with God, or the source, but at least I feel that I’m helping the process along in some small way.

What really works, according to mystical teachers and traditions, is for each of us to foster our own conscious connection to the source. As we pray and meditate, we ask only for our own spiritual upliftment. Then, the more refined we become in our connection to the source, the more fluidly that perfect, healing, motivating light from the source can stream through us to purify and heal everyone who resonates with our focused field of consciousness.

So, the prayer that acknowledges and clarifies (or unclutters) our own oneness with the source is the prayer that allows everything in our life, in our relationships, and ultimately in our world to find peace and purpose. It apparently doesn’t get any better than that… anywhere… anytime.
