Prayer.
We've all seen those posts asking for people to pray for them...we've all seen the derogatory backlash to people sending their prayers and wishes to people that have been victims of brutal crimes. I didn't use to believe in it but then I learned more on my Spiritual Path. Prayer, based on my impressions from Hollywood and religious people...was an appeal to the Divine for a physical outcome. There was never much suggestion as to what it was or how it worked besides that in most depictions or descriptions I heard about until I started digging deep into spiritual and esoteric research. When you Pray for Things out of a selfish desire...it never seems to work. That's a fantastic thing because there are a lot of people who pray for things that would not serve them and certainly wouldn't help them develop their Spirituality. So I'm glad they don't get what they want. That might sound selfish and cruel to be people who are devoted to a self-serving path but the opportunity for Spiritual Growth only seems to occur when people are pushed with a Dark Night of the Soul. When you Pray for People, to heal them or to send them emotional comfort, however, it does seem to work...but the key is that they must be receptive. If they have completely closed themselves off from the rest of society and isolated themselves on a mental/spiritual level you are very unlikely to reach them. Why is that? The Collective Conscious I'm back to this subject, again, I know. What is the Collective Conscious? Well, it's the spiritual level on which every human being on this planet is linked. That level is usually inaccessible to the conscious active mind that participates in physical reality. (To develop that link and make the connection to see how the Collective Conscious is moving we have to be in touch with our Subconscious mind. I have covered this before in other posts). However, at this time, for most of Humanity the Collective Consciousness is veiled...by the Shadow of the Subconscious. That's why Carl Jung called it the Collective Subconscious. People's dreams reflect universal symbolism but most don't pay attention to their dreams. They downgrade the Subconscious to something that they cannot be aware of or understand...Science insists the Subconscious is the crunching down of the days activities and nothing more. Never mind that we ALL dream in the same symbols and all dream symbols tend to represent the same information. When any one of us makes a huge leap forward spiritually it sends out a ripple effect to everyone else on the Collective Consciousness level. When we transform our Subconscious by working with it consciously forming a new paradigm or consciousness- which is the aim of studying the Tarot, of Alchemy, of Buddhism, and many other Spiritual systems...We can bring through information and understanding that has been buried in murk and misinterpretation for centuries. When any of us reach out to Higher Spiritual Powers such as the Archangels for help...it also sends out a ripple effect. These forces that exist within the astral plane upon which the Collective Consciousness exists wish to help us but as long as we deny or do not ask for their assistance they can only stand aside as we struggle within the Physical nightmare we have created. Think of the Collective Consciousness as being a Spiritual Internet. We can only send and receive information to other people if we do so on purpose. That person can only receive that information if they choose to open the application or email that they have received. That's how the power of prayer effects the individual in Physical Matter Reality. If a person has cut themselves on the conscious level, they might still be aware of the affect of prayer on the collective level but it will have a very small impact. The Group Effect Since ware all interlinked with the collective consciousness when we all pray with the same intent our minds link together as one will...for example by praying for a specific person...it has a powerful effect. A part of the Collective Consciousness that was erratic and chaotic becomes united into One Force. When a group acts in concert together for a specific positive result it will be supported on a cosmic level. The Collective Consciousness can then have a very direct affect on Physical Matter Reality. The Higher Powers of the cosmos want the positive result and support self-less acts. (Thankfully, if a group seeks power for selfish reasons or a particular negative result they will meet a lot of resistance and it will take a lot more effort on behalf of the group to achieve those results). So, those powers that exist in the astral realm of the Collective Subconscious will add their energy to the result that is desired by the group. This is why when groups, even if they are on different parts of the planet, sit and meditate on something positive they can affect the whole. Their concerted effort is a chunk of that Collective consciousness working together in a way that is supported by Higher Powers and it has an effect on the entire group. Those who are in denial of the Subconscious, who are not connected, will also feel the affect of that prayer or meditation even if they don't understand what it means and are apt to misinterpret it (usually fear based people will interpret this change in a negative way). This is also why when so many people tune into the news and focus on fear the fear is amplified and creates a wave of violence. There is a type of feedback loop response. If people are excited about a certain fearful event and react strongly to it and they have not worked with transforming their Subconscious from the Shadow into something they consciously work with...the miscommunication will cause the subconscious to create more of that experience. Hence why it appears we are having more Shootings in Schools. That's one of the reasons why the news use to have such a strong Group Think effect on our country. That's why having a great deal of diversity in our news is actually beneficial and is working with the Plan of Divinity (Edgar Cacye sums it up well, "To know one self as yourself, and yet One With the Creator". Paul Foster Case, Alice A Bailey, the Ra Material, and so much more are in agreement with this Divine Plan). Our government mourns the idea of different ways of interpreting reality and events in the world because when there was only One Voice they could manipulate us into stupidity such as the Gulf and Iraq wars. That is why the arrival of these dissenting and disagreeing voices allows for more individuality which is needed before we can really grasp that we are part of the Collective. We have to be aware and be able to retain our individuality before we can work with beings who are on that Collective Consciousness level. That, however, is an entirely different blog. Luckily, there is a law in place that it takes fewer positive people to have an effect on the Collective Consciousness then the majority of negative fear based Group Thinkers. We hit that turning point a long time ago and that is why we have not experienced an Earth Shaking when it seemed very likely (2012ish), although, at this time we are seeing more natural disasters as a Wake Up call. We are at that edge again but blogs like this and the people like you who read them are making the difference. As long as a group of people openly working with the Collective Consciousness, bring through the information from that level of ourselves, and inform the rest of humanity that is receptive to it but might not have access to it or the desire to become a member of a group like the Masons or Builders of the Adytum (which still do not speak plainly of these things) the slightest improvement with that goal will keep the earth shaking predicted by the Hopi at bay. Receptivity Why doesn't praying for people always heal them? Remember how Jesus told one of the blind men it was his faith, not Jesus, that healed him? (John 9) Now if we are praying for a particular person it does require that the person is open to the energy in Spirit. They have to think that it is possible because they are the co-creator of their subjective reality. They have to hold the belief that they can be healed. If someone has really become shut down to Spirit and accepted that they are unwell and will die soon...they won't feel the energetic effect of those who pray for them. They have cut off their divine connection to the Collective Consciousness and Spirit. They are allowed to continue to make that choice and stay in their hole of isolation if that is what they choose (thanks to Free Will). However, if that person is receptive to the energy they will use it to help themselves heal. I've seen people survive when they physically shouldn't have because of this. Prayer won't work on those who do not hold the believe that it can work and they are willing to release the idea that being sick will benefit them. The younger a person is the more likely they will be open to that possibility and respond to prayer. Conclusion Prayer is a very powerful tool. Prayer isn't a mode for manifestation because in order to manifest things effortlessly they don't need to be prayed for. They come about naturally as a way to support us in serving the whole of Humanity. If we pray for stuff or knowledge out of selfish reasons there will be great resistance. That is simply a lesson and part of the school of Earth Life. We are here to develop an individuality and then choose to work together. The energetic level that prayer works off of is the Collective Conscious. However, a person must be receptive to the power of prayer in order to be healed or receive the help they need. Also, for some people the reason they have reached their lives end is because their Higher Self has determined that their physical existence has reached the limit of it's usefulness. This might be because they have gone as far as they are likely to develop spiritually or mentally in that life and the potential for positive growth is minimal. Once you arrest your progress in developing yourself Spiritually your Soul (Higher Self) sees no point in continuing your current incarnation and it will be cut off. I hit that point in my last life in the 1930's...it was more beneficial on a Soul level that I was murdered (since I was living a life of crime) and that I come to understand the other individuals motives for murdering so that I could understand the suffering of those who have truly cut themselves off from the Tree of Life. More then likely these types are not open to being healed through prayer. A decision was reached by the Higher Self that cannot be changed. The only way that can be reversed is if the person, by some small miracle, experiences a radical change in behavior and develops an interest in the Spiritual as a result of the experience (such as what happened to the neurosurgeon Eben Alexander). So, there are always factors involved that we cannot immediately see. However, knowing how and why prayer can have such a powerful effect can be illuminating and I encourage you to use this powerful tool in your life.
