Prayer needs no religion or...

1. Positivity is Prayer
October 25, 2013
Positive Action is prayer working! Making deep love is prayer! No
religion seems to acknowledge that?! The popular displays of
Christian, and especially Muslim, prayer are mostly empty, selfish
begging for some divine intervention. Prayer can be a beautiful
thing especially when aligned with the practice of meditating to clear the mind of littering
thoughts while opening the heart. Sadly, prayer has been used to promote instructional
obeyance to what amounts to an ideology, or state subliminally endorsed control of the
masses. Prayer is not a desire or demand.
Prayer is silent, and without the necessity of words or in behalf of a god, allah, or deity.
Praying doesnʼt make one better than those who donʼt ʻprayʼ, certainly in the traditional
way of a specific culture. ʻLet us prayʼ is crowd control that certainly is better than mob
control but empty of value to buzzing minds. The heart when vulnerable and open
emanates from within a powerful prayer especially for healing and gratitude for lifeʼs
infinite benedictions. Most who pray attach a ʻbelief system to it and itʼs concept of a
god.
Some form of meditation, be it deep love making, or one of
the many techniques from vipassana, various breath
meditations, to kundalini, etc., are an excellent prelude to
clearing the mind and heart for prayer or living a prayerful,
meditative, loving life. Just praying in hopes that your desires
will be fulfilled, particularly at anotherʼs expense is
symptomatic of selfish ignorance. Prayer is far more
important than God. Prayer comes with itʼs own answers.
Praying to God is just a device for beginners.
Prayer means surrender, and gratitude. See that existence made a place for you to
experience, and be thankful for the opportunity. Prayer is to be in a deep love for the
blessings of lifeʼs gifts including the experience to love yourself and another. Prayer is
itʼs own reward!
Prayer is the receptivity of the miracles surrounding you. It is not important to be part of
any religion or belief to experience prayer. Become available to the positive and love
with all its infinite expressions. Prayer is the capacity to be excited and amazed.
Approach life with reverence and positivity. Donʼt be too much of a rationalist, logician,
or ʻknow it allʼ. Prayer is to open the heart with poetry and laughter available in your
being. Be like a small child again. Sensitivity and softness attract itself. Meditation and
prayer meet in silence as a communion with an open heart. Be open to the wonders of
all! Prayer is the fragrance of love.
