Questions and the Quest for Self Realization
The question is a powerful spiritual tool that is able to initiate and sustain the quest for self discovery and self realization. Questions take us out of the confines of our comfort zones and into the spiritual dimension of faith, where the magic of ‘anything is possible’ happens. What Is Prayer?
"We must know first the prayer is cumulative; that the more we pray, the more we accumulate of the powerful spiritual energy which transforms invisible ideas into visible things." Charles Fillmore It is an affirmation of Truth that eternally exists, but which has not yet come into consciousness. It comes into consciousness not by supplication but by affirmation. The Affect and Effect of Prayer.
“In true prayer we take with us words of Truth, a statement of Truth, or an affirmation, and turn our attention within to the very center of our being, where the Father dwells. We affirm these words of Truth and meditate on them, then get very still and wait in the silence for God to make them real to us.” Metaphysical Bible Dictionary Prayer: Practicing The Presence.
Prayer is the practice of the presence of God. Together with the presence of God comes the power of the Divine to fulfill the pattern of the divine perfection of all things. In all and every event of our life we can experience the presence, pattern and power of God if we would pray without ceasing. Prayer and Personal Will.
“Spiritual character building is from within outward. Spiritual character lives in man; it is what God has engraved on man's soul, ready for development through man's spiritual efforts. It is a reserve force of organized victory over carnality.” Teach Us To Pray p12. | ||||||||||
