The Power of Prayer
Prayer is the sincere request whenever you are in need of help. There is the saying that we are indeed responsible for all that is happening in our lives and we have the power to change it, this is true in a way.
In life we all need some help or form of assistance sometime, it’s like you are on a highway and you had a flat tyre, when you go look for the spare tyre you remember that it is still in the shop, you are stuck no help and no reception on your mobile phone, in this kind of situation you will have to ask for help. This is the same with prayer, however you don’t have to wait until you are stuck or you are on your death bid so that you can pray, it is always good to pray every day for guidance and making better judgement.
The difference between affirmations, meditation and prayers.
| Prayer | Affirmations | Meditation | |
| Meaning | Usually addressed to something higher than yourself, God/Spiritual guides/Ancestors spirits/ Angels/Spiritual entities. | A set of commands/statements to reprogram your thoughts pattern and reprogramming your subconscous mind. And it only involves you ( I AM…). | Calming, stillness and disciplining the mind, can be a good tool for mind programming through visualization and clear/direct communication with higher self/God. |
| Progression | You don’t have to do it daily, only ask and believe it will come. | Has to be done daily even couple of times a day until it sinks into your subconscious mind. | Requires pasistance and practice to attain tranquility. |
| Result | The results can always be the same, they will come to you in a different ways, depending on how you have send your request. | No big difference from that of praying. Requires a willing heart and an open mind. | Usually when meditation you can feel the result almost immediately and some new information comes into your mind, but it varies with different people. |
There are four important factors for your prayer to work:
1. ASK:
When praying you have to have a clear mind and it has to be a sincere request, with a true desire of what you want, can be stated loud or just within your mind/heart.
2. BELIEVE:
Believing that you are going to get what you have prayed for is one of the most important ingredients, as there wouldn’t be any reason for you praying. You will have to believe with your entire being that what you prayed for is going to come to you in time, you must avoid all negative suggestion that it will not happen, be patient with yourself and hold into faith that it will and must come to pass.
3. RECEIVE:
Receiving is another important factor as well, most of people know how to pray but don’t really know how to receive, in order to be able to receive you must be receptive to what you have prayed for, look for slightest details and information that comes in your way, for me mostly it comes in form of thoughts or ideas and I act on it immediately, sometimes it comes as an advertisement from TV, newspaper etc., or your friend may joke about something, the key is to be open minded, and willing to try whatever that relates to what you have asked.
4. ACTION:
There is an old saying that you may force the donkey into the pond but you can’t force them to drink the water, this can be applied to you as well, you must be ready to act and act immediately, for me I get tons and loads of new ideas every moment, if I don’t either write, act or take a moment to listen to the entire concept they usually disappear forever. You must act on it no matter what, get rid of assumptions, doubts, fear and procrastination just do it!
Some precautions and warnings:
Most of people think prayers, meditations and affirmations don’t work because of their limited understanding and scope of perception, if you were to slow down time say like the ratio of a day to a minute you will start to see other things that we can’t see right now for example the growth of trees you will be able to see trees growing, flowers blossoming fruits ripening. We usually don’t see these things happening only because of our perception. It is the same with prayers it is something that you have to wait and see it growing in front of you, sometimes it may be immediately depending on the level of your “spiritual development”, meaning a fourth grade kid would have to undergo certain training and PASS so that they can move into the next level, if you are in grade eleven and we start teaching you Nuclear physics you would not understand anything only give you frustrations and scare you. So when praying you must see some changes that are happening into your life and the kind of person you are becoming, with awareness that the Divine guidance is guiding you towards what you have asked for. Even if you asked for a million most likely it will not just happen overnight, you will undergo through trial and tribulations until you have been curved and melded into a millionaire type of a person.

As Above So Below As Within so Without
An Egyptian legend, tells us about the The Emerald Tablet Of Hermes & The Kybalion
, written by the thrice great Hermes Trimegistus. In the tablet, Hermes Trismegistus, discuss about the process of creation and the law of one summarized in the quotation “As Above, So Below, As Below So Above”.
The Principle Of Correspondence
This Principle embodies the truth that there is always a Correspondence between the laws and phenomena of the various planes of Being and Life. The old Hermetic axiom ran in these words: “As above,so below; as below, so above.” And the grasping of this Principle gives one the means of solving many a dark paradox, and hidden secret of Nature.There are planes beyond our knowing, but when we apply the Principle of Correspondence to them we are able to understand much that would otherwise be unknowable to us. This Principle is of universal application and manifestation, on the various planes of the material, mental, and spiritual universe , It is an Universal Law. The ancient Hermetists considered this Principle as one of the most important mental instruments by which man was able to pry aside the obstacles which hid from view the Unknown. Its use even tore aside the Veil of Isis to the extent that a glimpse of the face of the goddess might be caught. Just as a knowledge of the Principles of Geometry enables man to measure distant suns and their movements, while seated in his observatory, so a knowledge of the Principle of Correspondence enables Man to reason intelligently from the Known to the Unknown.
The Higher, The Colder
Since the dawn of human civilization, human beings have always been in a lifelong quest for the very fabric universal reality, As you peer in the veil of reality through Science, Philosophy and Religion they all seem to seek the meaning of life. Religion seeks the Universal and loving Father in Philosophy they seek Person who is self existence and requires no other being for existence, and science seeks first cause. “As you approach to the peak of the mountain all routes point to the same peak”
We Are All Connected
Life is teamed up with countless creatures, there are creatures that crawl on the surface of earth there are those who swim deep down in the abyss and those who fly high in the blue sky yet they all eat, breathe and give birth to their offspring . There are over million types of bacteria invisible to the naked eye, yet a single one is as important as anything else in life, they are responsible in a lot of things like in the process of cheese manufacturing, making of a beer, decomposition of waste products etc. In the chaos theory a butterfly maybe flapping it’s wings in Turangi New Zealand and may cause a catastrophic tornado in Cuenca Ecuador,
Heavens And Earth
The heavens portrait itself on the earth, with the rotation of the earth on it’s own axis we get days and night, when the earth revolves around the sun we get the seasons of the year, Some surgeons avoid surgery during the high tides the patient may have severe bleeding than the low tides. In Astrology they believe that the planets affect people’s behaviour relative to their positions in the solar system. The sun provide all energy on earth hadn’t it be for the sun plants would not be able to break down carbon dioxide to provide us with oxygen and make simple sugar as starch. Some micro organisms respond to the temperature and pressure in the atmosphere as well.
The Footprints of Reflection
“Every invention that you can ever think of is the result of a single thought,” ~ Yanni
The decisions that we make every single moment plays a big role in shaping our lives, yet it’s not easy to notice, the thoughts is a kind of a vibrational energy, the drift velocity of electrons vibrating in the neurons, as for now vibration can be regarded as the very fabric of reality according to string theory. Vibrations is everywhere from the smallest particles to the largest heaven bodies, the ’six senses’ that we perceive through out sensory organs are all in form of vibration, the planes have their own pulse resonating around the suns. the electrons vibrate as well, In cosmology we see that everything revolves around bigger object galaxies revolves around black holes, suns revolves around galaxies, planets the suns, Even people with strong personalities have others with lower personality around them when you move down to the microscopic world is behaves the same some electrons revolves around the nucleus. as you go up and down you find the same pulsating phenomenon repeating itself,
Circle of Life
Same with the life when you look in the cells you see that there is always a nucleus that is the center of the cell, In the physical world you will find out that there has to be a source of water or at least food somewhere for live itself to exist, take a look at any huge cities there are always natural resource that tend to run that city. during the high tides the surgeons try to avoid any surgery because they afraid the patient my have intense bleeding, as the earth spin on it’s own axis we get days and night, when it revolves around sun we get the seasons of the year, and when the sun revolves around the galaxy we get the astrological ages, Everything has a pulsation, heart beat, breathing in and out, days and nights, etc.
here are some similarities;
Real Life Application
Since there is correspondence in everything, as everything reflects the other, we should treat each other as one, we exist as part and The Whole.
