The influence of praying on the world and on yourself

Would You now like to comment on the power of prayer and what actually is happening in the spiritual world, when we are praying?

Let's repeat the legend, which is mentioned in "The true Christian" by Marie Corelli (1887): nowadays this story is certainly considered to be kitschy and “camp”, from Our perspective, however, it is the essence of this blog, that is why I do want you to repeat it literally.

"There is a legend on a poor girl, having lost every human being she had loved on earth; she had a rose tree to which she was very attached, every morning she was becoming one flower of it. Although she wanted to keep the flower for herself, she did not, but always placed it for the painting of Christ. God saw her do this as He is seeing everything. At last she died rather suddenly, and when she arrived in heaven, she was completely bewildered namely surrounded by such a multitude of angels, and she could not find her way.

Suddenly she saw a path in front of her, on both sides set off with roses, and an angel said to her, "these are all the roses you have given on earth to Our Lord. He has made a path of them for you, so you will brought right away to them, whom thou has loved”.

She took joyfully the windings of the road and saw during the whole trip her roses bloom, and it was at the end, waiting to welcome her, all whom on earth she had loved and lost! "

You all do know:

• to every prayer sincerely and with a little bit of attention prayed is listened to every prayer rattled off in a hurry is listened as well and the prayer is complemented and reinforced by the spiritual world
• every prayer is preserved
• every prayer is heard, literally if possible
• to every prayer is listened, figuratively, enveloped with support and hope and love and strength for those for whom this prayer is meant to be if literally hearing is not possible
• every prayer is an opening to Above
• every prayer is a strengthening of your channel between the earth and the spiritual world
• every prayer is an opportunity for God to fill your asking hand
• every prayer is giving the spiritual world an opportunity to arrange an additional connection between the spiritual world and the earthy world
• every prayer is the spiritual influence helping to touch the matter in a better way. You can compare it literally with opening up a window for fresh air
• each prayer is a strengthening of the cooperation and contact and communication between the personality who is praying and the spiritual world to whom one is praying
• every prayer is having immediate consequences for the one who is praying. These effects may be: more space, more support, more love, more energy, more trust, more happiness, more openness, more quietness, more hope, etc.
• every prayer and the consequences for the one who is praying are colored and determined by to whom one is praying: the value of a prayer to God is bigger than the prayer to the sun, to the guardian angel is bigger than to an idol, to the own "My God "is bigger than to the guardian angel, to the saints and apostles and prophets is bigger than to the spirits of animals, trees or rivers etc.
• all prayers to Whom ever directed do have value in our eyes
• to every prayer is listened, even if it can not be heard
• the biblical words: “knock, and you shall be opened, ask and you shall be given” are true. Even though this is not always in the form you have expected or at the time you have hoped for
• Every prayer is contributing to the beauty of your spiritual body and to the beauty of your future spiritual dwelling.

Pray, all of you, so the world can be a better one.

My blessings to you all

Cherish your love for God as a beloved child in your arms

"The finest love doesn’t get somewhere when you let her walk on her one. It is far better to carry her in your arms as a beloved child"  (Alain, French philosopher and essayist, ps. of Émile Augiste Chartier)

Would You like to comment on this quote?

I would like to comment on it on the basis of a special love, on the basis of the purest love, which is your love for God.
God is so close, closer than your beloved ones, closer than your heart, closer than your lips.

Cherish this love, carry it, take it in your arms.

God would like you to talk to God as you talk to your beloved one: at rest, quiet, with attention, looking at your loved one, with full attention, concentrated, with the love in your eyes and the warmth in your heart.

God is waiting for this to happen.

Do know you will always get an answer.

This answer may be:

• a sense of happiness
• a bright thought
• a desire to address your addictions
• hope for a better life
• the solution of a problem
• more courage and energy to bear your problems
• a necessary prompting
• more peace in your head
• more sympathy for life in your heart
• more attention for the beauty of nature
• and incidentally as some experience the voice of God in your inner self.

Aren’t these answers satisfying to you?
Aren’t these answers you may recognize?
Aren’t these answers you possibly could consider as answers of God?

For do know Christ said: “Knock on the door and you will be opened”.
And do know this truth is still valid.

"The finest love doesn’t get somewhere when you let her walk on her one. It is far better to carry her in your arms as a beloved child"

But the love for God really must be cherished, fed, carried, because if your attention is absorbed by the cares of everyday life, God will just wait.

Your free will is mostly cherished by Us and carried in Our arms as a beloved child.

My blessings to you all

Christ is the Light in the world (Light, 3)

Christ is appearing after his crucifixion in the synagogue of Philadelphia:
"You are all the children of light; therefore stumble not into the misunderstanding entanglements of mortal suspicion and human intolerance. If you are ennobled, by the grace of faith, to love unbelievers, should you not also equally love those who are your fellow believers in the far- spreading household of faith? Remember, as you love one another, all men will know that you are my disciples." *

Would You today like to comment on Christ, the Light of the world ?

I deliberately do not comment on the issue whether Christ is the Only Son of God or just one of the prophets, whether he died on the cross or not, whether he was born from an immaculate virgin or indeed had brothers and sisters. Let the Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc have their disputes if they like.

The spiritual world considers the following issues from the life of Christ to be of importance, namely

• he has brought man closer to God
• he has brought God closer to man by speaking of God as Father
• he has said all people to be children of ONE father
• he has called ALL people on earth to be children of the Light
• he has increased and strengthened the connection between earthy life and the spiritual world.

"You are all the children of light; therefore stumble not into the misunderstanding entanglements of mortal suspicion and human intolerance”

Christ has been with the example of his life truly the light in the world by

• his example as pure prophet who lived what he preached
• his attention for a new morality of love and tolerance
• his healings and miracles (although historically distorted and inflated, at least 80% of the traditional stories are true)
• his great and ongoing dialogue with the Father, his "My God," Who could be powerful on earth through the devotion and faith of Christ
• his respect for female disciples and believers
• his great sense of social justice
• his unmasking of orthodoxy, abuse of power and sham
• his love for man.

Christ is the Light of the world.
What is still counting: who is following his example, in his own modest way, is bringing the light of the spiritual world on earth.

My blessings to you all

Be a light to your fellow men (Light, 2)

 

You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love” (Henry Drummond)
 
Today You were going to give a blog on the light man can give to others ? You have led me on the Internet to this quote.

I have indeed led you to this quote.
This is the only Truth. All other valuable experiences concerning art, science, property, personal successes in life are for sure contributing to the evolution of man, the earth, and life. And are therefore valuable.
Of more value is this truth. Why is this so?

• Because the cradle of life is love
• Because God is in His Innermost Being Love
• Because man is carried in love
• Because man only comes to God through his heart
• Because the heart of man is the most essential.

     Because there is something essential happening to man,

• when he loves
• when he is kind
• when he is aware of the other
• when he is paying attention to his fellow men
• when he is a light for his environment
• when he is respecting others
• when he is greeting a stranger
• when he is giving alms
• when he is reaching a hand to the other
• when he is compassionate to sad ones
• when he is giving support to weak ones
• when he is dwelling on suffering
• when he is grieving for the suffering of his fellow man
• when his heart is trembling at another's grief
• when he is weeping on the misery in the world
• when he is trembling at the sight of wars and disasters
• when he is giving from his wealth
• when he is sharing his scarce possessions
• when he is letting go first of the other
• when he is renouncing oneself
• when he is smiling at someone else's happiness
• when he is a light for his environment.

“You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love”.

Why is this?

Because then man

• is God's image
• is distributing God's love
• is bringing heaven on earth
• is feeding his heart
• is God's hands on earth
• is spreading the divine light
• is increasing the divine light
• is strengthening the divine light
• is making the divine light to be born on earth.

And do know, then you are behaving yourselves as sons and daughters of God.
And do know, Christmas is indeed feeding this atmosphere on earth, but the whole year on this is possible and desirable and necessary, and once this will be the case.

My blessings to you all

Nr. 135

Experience the light in your inner self (Light, 1)

You were going to comment on the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of the Light in the world ?

The light in the world, but throughout the year. The birth of the light within you. How does this happen, how are you realizing this, what does this mean?

The hearts of man, their thinking, their emotional lives really can use more light. Light, dearly and in large quantities distributed by the spiritual world. This light is insufficiently requested, received and nourished, why?

Because man is ignorant, because man is a child, not yet a sun or daughter of God. Because man is struggling with his inner forces, because man is torn between extremes, for not God is dwelling on this inner throne, but the ego.
The ego, that wonderful, beautiful, perfect instrument, which is always at the service of life. But .... it may, in its ignorance not dwell on the throne of the inner self, where God should dwell. This is meant to be.

Birth of the light in your own inner world means the Former man is making way for the New man. Means man is growing from being a child of God into becoming a son or daughter of God. Means the will of man is making way for “God's will be done”. Means not the ego on the throne, but the "My God."

At the Former man:
The horse: the body, not listening, instead the ego is slave and the horse is regularly running wild.
The carriage: the emotions dragged around by the horse and his wild trot.
The passenger: the thinking on critical moments insufficiently able to influence the decisions of the ego, the coachman.
The luggage: somewhere in a suitcase "My God" is dwelling , with the lid closed.
The coachman: the ego, torn between a runaway horse, a battered, poorly functioning carriage, insufficiently good communication with thinking and really sauntering about: the ego is labeling this to be his fate.

At the New man:
The Horse: the body, well cared for, but in a good dressage.
The carriage: the emotions, all of which are accepted, not suppressed, in excellent condition, colorful, their influence on decisions is controlled by the mind.
The passenger: the ego, important, cherished, but has no influence on the trip, just looking outside and enjoying.
The luggage: all the energy of the spiritual world, lids of boxes do not have to be opened, because everything is transparent, everything is functional and everything is flowing.
The coachman: "My God": "not my will, but Thy Will be done". Thinking is sitting next to the Driver, everything is accepted and appreciated by “My God”, and respected.

The result is surrender, peace, trust and leting go.

The result: the personality has become a persona, a “mask”, a service hatch for God. A transparent and perfect working instrument, at the service of life, at the service of God.

The Kingdom of God has been realized.

The Light on earth is born in man himself.

I tell you: this is the truth, this may be your truth, every day again.

See: http://watchthegod-english.blogspot.nl/2012/11/every-day-youre-getting-opportunity-to.html
 
Every day you can try this, every day you can try to open up for this, every day you can exercise with this knowledge, every day you can experience this.
Be the light in yourself.

My blessings to you all

Mary, the Mother Goddess

Would you like to comment on the name and the position of Mary in spiritual sense?


The (male) monastery Maria Resort is a tribute to Mary. On the façade is mentioned

Per Mariam ad Jesum, or through Mary to Jesus.
Who is Mary and what is her significance?

You mortals think differently about her. Mary is assumed to be:

• The Mother of God, for Christ is the Son of God
• The comforter of the afflicted, the unfortunate, the sinners
• The eternal virgin, of Immaculate Conception
• The crowned Queen of Heaven (Catholics)
• The mother of the prophet Jesus, a remarkable and ordinary woman, for God can not have a mother (the Muslims)
• A mother who saw her son tortured and murdered, symbol of the mother and her earthly suffering (humanists)
• The Goddess, the better half of God (New Age)
• The equal of Tara of Compassion (Hindus) and Kuan Yin (she, who is hearing the cries of distress on earth, the Chinese female Buddha)
• Symbol of the pure and feminine on earth (esoteric).

My son, I'll tell you this truth: in the spiritual world it does not really matter what you mortals are all believing thinking and interpreting and differently.
We are equally taking care for all religions and tendencies.
As long as you are not boxing each other ears.

What We would like you to do is:

• being inspired by your own image of Mary
• being motivated to the spiritual life
• getting hope when you say the name of Mary
• in all worries of everyday life are getting tempted to the choice of the inner, the spiritual
• love what Mary is symbolizing: purity, devotion, love for God
• considering her as comforter of the afflicted and unfortunate
• honorering her as the one who is hearing the cries of distress on earth
• are feeling supported by her presence in your life
• considering her as the feminine aspect of God, the world is needing this aspect badly.

On the facade of the monastery stands:

"By Mariam ad Jesum, through Mary to Jesus"

The spiritual world is considering this as:

• Through love reaching God
• Through the experienced feelings to the believing mind
• With a pure heart to surrender to the Inner
• With humility of man to God's Will
• With sincere prayer to the touch by God
• With the experience of life to the insight of being
• With suffered grief to higher understanding of life
• Through childhood becoming son and daughter of God
• Through the feminine considering the male
• By love to the Christ consciousness
• Through caring charity to the Kingdom of God on earth.

The monks of Mary Refuge are blessed.

My blessings to you all

How unfathomable are Your thoughts

I am going to Mass at 8:00 pm in the church of the monastery. Iam getting impressed by the Gregorian-like chantingof the monks: modest, pure, melodious.
They are singing about God, they are standing there and are having devoted their lives to God. In society, everyone has different goals, needs, desires, and here there seems to be only one goal: God.
It touches me: the simplicity andfocus on this one goal.

Reaching God, honoring God,serving God.
Especially a part of Psalm 92, the verses 5-11, are in my eyes beautiful:

O Lord, what great works you do!
And how deep are your thoughts.

Only a simpleton would not know,
and only a fool would not understand this:

Though the wicked sprout like weeds
and evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.

But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever.
Your enemies, Lord, will surely perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.

But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
You have anointed me with the finest oil.

I think the personal prayer to God, the conversation with God, the trusting on God are so touching.
Furthermore we have in the church: the standing in a circle around the altar during the peace wishes and during the consecration. I find that impressive.
I ask You, would You like to give us a glance behind the scenes please?

 The singing of the monks is devotion to God, they are focusing all on God, and the most direct line is between their personality and their "My God." Each “My God” is inextricably linked, because ONE with God.

The monkhood is a brotherhood in God, with only ONE goal: to follow the will of God.

 "O Lord, what great works you do!
And how deep are Your thoughts.

You have anointed me with the finest oil”

The singing of the monks is not only a blessing for themselves: you all in the church are cleansed, because the deep monotonous male singing is causing a cleansing of your lower chakras. They are opened and the old and tired and polluted energy is flowing away downwards, into mother earth, and the empty chakras are filled with new fresh energy from the spiritual world. The cleansing would be even greater, if female voices would do the follow up afterwards and cleanse the upper chakras.

See  http://watchthegod-english.blogspot.nl/2012/04/a-capella-concert-without-musical.html

You would leave the church then completely transformed. But the Catholic Church hasn’t organized it in this way. This will be the case once.

My son, you are touched as well because the accumulated energy (the gestalt) is seducing each present churchgoer into an energetic spiral. This is causing the opening of the heart. It is where My God is dwelling, and is making Itself known when the heart is cleansed enough. For it is difficult communicating by dirty layers.
The gathering around the altar is strengthened energetically . A white spiritual ball of energy has come into being uplifting everyone, touching everyone and is manifesting the presence of their living "My God" felt in all hearts.

My blessings to you all
