Recently I was praying in my room. The candles were lit, the incense was burning and there were vases of fresh roses near relics and portraits. And suddenly I got the feeling that I was in a spiritual temple and I experienced a great sense of holiness and devotion.
Would You like to comment on this?
I love to.
It helps you to come into the sphere of
holiness and worship by using incense and candles and portraits and relics,
that is your Catholic background.But know that a spiritual temple is being built up, or if it is already existing reinforced, for every person on earth who prays.
A Protestant with only a cross, a Muslim with
only a word in Arabic on the wall of his living room, a Hindu for an image of
Shiva, a Zen Buddhist in an empty white room, a Jew who is while swaying
reading the Torah, a New Age adept who meditates on his spiritual teacher, all
come into the same situation as you, even if everyone is experiencing something
different and is giving different words to it.
As soon as a man prays, the spiritual world is
building around this person a spiritual temple of unprecedented beauty. And the
more often a person prays, on the more regular basis he is doing this, the
longer and more intensely he prays, the bigger and more powerful the temple
will be.
And the temple is indeed a fact in the
spiritual world. It is a powerful transformer for spreading spiritual energy.
This energy flows through this praying man to the environment of this person
and of course to whom or what he is
praying for. I mention it consciously in this order, because that is reality.
A praying man is a blessing for his environment
and an instrument for the spiritual world to reach the earth with healing,
inspiring or uplifting energy. If men knew how wonderful the environment
becomes when one prays, how beneficial its effect is and how fruitful for the
cooperation between the spiritual world and the evolutionary earth, one would
certainly pray more.
My blessings to you all
