It is the prayer of my innermost being to realize my supreme identity in the liberated play of consciousness, the Vast Expanse. Now is the moment, Here is the place of Liberation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My prayer became 'May I find peace... May I love this life no matter what.' I was seeking an inner refuge, an experience of presence and wholeness that could carry me through whatever losses might come.
Prayer is the beginning and the end, the source and the fruit, the core and the content, the basis and the goal of all peacemaking.
Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.
It's completely through prayer that I came to believe in God. I just sensed a presence south of my neck.
Prayer reminds me it's not just about me. It's about all the people with whom I share this planet, and all of whom God has created, and all of whom he cares just as much about as he cares about me.
Liberation is an ever shifting horizon, a total ideology that can never fulfill its promises. It has the therapeutic quality of providing emotionally charged rituals of solidarity in hatred - it is the amphetamine of its believers.
My impression, is that prayer is one of the most basic forms of magic. That it's harnessing the powers of your mind.
It is my meditation all the day, and more than my meat and drink, to know how I shall make the Saints of God comprehend the visions that roll like an overflowing surge before my mind.
It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you.
And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me.
