103-03 Denial and Prayer.
Hi everyone,
How can there be denial in prayer, you ask? Some, reading this post will say, how sacrilegious, pious, self-righteous, blasphemous and egotistical, to even suggest that prayer is full of unlovingness and denial. Good! I say, bring up those old beliefs, because its time to look at them for what they really are, if self empowerment is your intent.
The questions are Why do you pray, who do you pray for, and who do you pray to? Lets take others as an example, as it is always easier to see other peoples issues than your own. Lets use someone that is sick and is experiencing difficulties on many levels. Lets even assume that they didnt ask you to pray for them or to send them healing, but you know they are sick and so you do because you are a loving person. And so you ask, whats wrong with praying to God to help someone that is suffering?
Are you ready to see truth of the unseen role of denial? The last part of the question was, who are you praying to? Is it God, God/Goddess, the creator of everything, the all-hearing, seeing, knowing, all-powerful one, whose love is perfect and so pure that we are unable to comprehend it? Maybe not your exact words, but close enough. Now consider this. Here is an omnipotent being that has created everything, including you, but, and this is a big BUT, the person that is sick and you, judge that God is wrong. That he/she is unloving, uncaring, cruel and even evil to do what he/she is doing to make this person sick. By DENIAL, what you are silently saying in your prayers is God, you screwed up! I want you to fix it the way I want you to, to prove that you are a loving God. Even if you defend your actions and say that you are only asking God to do what right and best for the person, its still the same thing. If you already know the truth that God is going to do what is best for the person, then you wouldnt be praying in the first place to remind him of his job. Now whos the pious one? It doesnt take much mental ability to see whats really going on when you start to ASK questions, and that theres a major flaw in the beliefs of prayer, called denial. Once you begin to see denial for what it is, you will see it everywhere.
Love, light and Life

Re: 103-03 Denial and Prayer.
Hmmmm .... ok, I can see your point. But how do you explain instances where prayer has worked for those who are ill? Was that a pre-planned event, or was it caused by prayer itself? I do not think there is someone granting wishes ... I believe that we, as a species, create realities through our focus of energy .... and that if a person/group gets together to pry they are in fact attempting to change an outcome---I believe it is we, as a whole collective unconcious, which determines the moves on the board of life (sorry, that was bad) and that we are free to exert our will on it. The question then becomes, are we powerful enough to overcome the inertia of the situation?

Re: 103-03 Denial and Prayer.
Hi Osheen and Welcome,
The question then becomes, did the person need to experience illness as a part of their journey and also that of the miracle, of life and maybe a second chance. Or was the Miracle really that soul leaving the physically body and another aspect of self taking over, as in a "walk -in" and it was able to heal the body.
Prayer, is still a judgment that what is happening is not acceptable. But of course to those that are praying for a miracle and one happens, then they feel authenticated that it was THEIR divine intervention that saved the person who will eventually die of other causes.
Yes, there are Miracles or happenings that can't be explained by our limited consciousness,limited by imprints, programs and beliefs. Another thing this brings us is that some of the so-called miracles are not of unconditional love. But that's another topic.
Cheers
John
