About:
The Law of Attraction and the Creative Techniques as it relates to "the asking" or "the prayer."

In sending a positive picture to the "thinking stuff" for manifestation there is a right way and a wrong way to "pray."

"Praying" is asking. Ask and it is given.

The "prayer" should create a visual picture in the minds of the people asking (praying) that reflects the results desired, not the results that are NOT WANTED.

For example you don't want to ask "don't let this storm cause much material damage or even worse the lose of lives."

With this kind of wording, what do you picture?

You picture "material damage and loss of lives."

This mental picture is received by the "thinking stuff" and it will proceed to manifest "material damage and loss of lives" in answer to your prayer/visual picture.

Congratulations, you just prayed for "material damage and loss of lives."

The better way to pray would be something like this:

Thank you heavenly father for the good weather you give us and for the rain we receive and for the gentle calming of this storm which renews the earth.

In whoever's name we pray... etc. Amen...

That's a better mental picture. flowerforyou

Thank you for your positive all-embracing post Jeannie.

I've never been one to pray much but your teachings inspire me to want to become involved in prayer. I'd like to try one right now.

Dear Universal Creator,

I envision all men and women being as positive and all-embracing as Gloria Jean.

I see them smiling at one another and enjoying each other's company in very compassionate and loving ways. I see them working together on positive and constructive projects that truly help all men and women to become the best they can be. I see all men and women accepting others without any judgments passed concerning how they might choose to live their lives, or view their creator, or think about the creative process.

I see all mankind raising their children to be open-hearted toward all their universal brothers and sisters. I ask that the powers that be fill each and every being on the planet with a spirit of acceptance and love. I ask that all thoughts be guided toward positive and constructive results.

I ask this in the names of any and all spirits who are willing to support love and compassion for all mankind.

So let it be asked, so let it be done.

Thank you for manifesting this request.

Amen

Oh surely you could come up with something better than that. laugh laugh

Dear heavenly universal father and mother,

Lead us into our positive natures, our creative endeavors, our natural love for each other, our godliness. Lead us gently through our lives towards the truth of love and the joy of creative pursuits. Show all the truth of your abundance and joy and let it sweep the nations and the world as we ascend into the light towards new horizons, new realities and new understanding of ourselves.

Amen.

Hey, it was my first prayer. Gimmie a break.

But you're right. It's not a good prayer. You might be a hateful bigoted person in disguise putting on a pleasant facade. So I inadvertently just prayed for everyone to become hateful bigoted people who have pleasant facades. laugh

So I see what you're saying. It's better to just be direct and ask for what I want and not assume to use other people as examples. bigsmile

That could potentially back-fire and I'll never understand why it back-fired.

Gotcha.

Dear Universal Creator,

Please see to it that I pray more wisely.

I ask for this in my own name since I'm the only one I know I can trust. :wink:

So let it be asked, so let it be done.

Gratefully yours,

Abracadabra

I am always striving to become more positive and even perfect, but I know I am a long way from that. So yes, don't use me for an example because I would hate to have to live up to some ideal. I have many faults and I enjoy some of them. laugh laugh I would hate to have to give them up. flowerforyou

I like my faults... :banana: drinker smokin pitchfork

Well, I didn't mean to be asking that everyone become just like you in every detail! laugh

Gee, this praying stuff is pretty tricky. I can see how a person can so easily request the wrong things unintentionally.

Just a little bit of miscommunication can wreck havoc with the whole world. No wonder things are in such bad shape. People have been praying for years!

I get the gist of the idea though. Owl have to work on creating unambiguous prayers. Someone should write a book of "proper prayers" and index them by wants and needs. laugh

Actually I think some religions have done this, but they call them "incantations" instead of prayers.

Now, I'm beginning to see the light Jeanniebean.

There is a popular book of incantations that was highly controversial. I think it was Wiccan in origin. Owl have to look into these things.

I really should know all the proper incantations, after all, I am Abracadabra. flowerforyou

Nothing ever comes into your personal reality that you did not invite.

When you ask, it is always given, but you must be in vibrational harmony with what you are asking for before you can let it in to your experience.

The reason why so many people do not remember or believe that all that they are asking for is being answered is because they are not making the conscious connection between their thoughts, the subsequent feelings those thoughts evoke, and the manifestations that are occurring.

And witout that conscious connection, you cannot know where you are in relationship to that which you desire.

Once you are aware of the power of your thoughts, and of your ability to allow in the things that you desire, you then have creative control of your experience. But if you are predominantly focused upon the results of your focused thoughts rather than feeling your way within your thoughts, it is easy to loose your way.

EVERY "REALITY" HAS BEEN FOCUSED BY SOMEONE INTO BEING.

THE ARGUMENT:

Sometimes people will argue, "But I am only telling you what is. I am facing the reality of the situation."

You were taught to face reality before you knew you were creating reality.... do not face reality unless it is a reality you want to create, for any "reality" only exists because someone has focused it into being.

Someone will say,"But this is a true thing, and therefore it deserves my attention." But what ever you give your attention to becomes your truth.

And so, it is extremely beneficial for you to focus primarily on the way you feel while giving only scant attention to the manifestations as they are unfolding, for whenever you are giving your primary attention to things as they are, you are hindering the expansion of what-is because your thoughts and attention is what contributes to the manifestation.

YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE BEHAVIOR OR DESIRES OF OTHERS.

Freedom from the fear of unwanted experiences will never be achieved by trying to control the behavior or desires of others. Your freedom can only be allowed by adjusting your own vibrational point of attraction.

Without a knowledge of the Law of Attraction, and without a conscious awareness of what you are doing with your own vibrational point of attraction, it is understandable why you would attempt to control the circumstances that surround you.

But you cannot control the many circumstances that surround you. However, once you learn about the Law of Attraction, and once you are aware of the way your thoughts feel, you will never again feel fear about unwanted things jumping into your experience.

You will understand that nothing can jump into your experience without your invitation. Since there is no assertion in this attraction-based Universe, if you do not achieve vibrational harmony with it, it cannot come to you.
