Prayer-Manifesting the good into our lives

·        "Prayer is the best answer to all of the trials that face us, because without prayer, even if we succeed in accomplishing some great goal in the eyes of men, we have failed in our sacred responsibilities, and thus we have failed in what is truly important.-- Thomas Yellowtail, CROW  I know that most people think of Prayer as being Christian in the United States. Prayer always means something to do with the Bible. Yet the Christians and Muslims learned to pray from the Jewish people.The Jewish people learned it from observation and what worked. They learned effective methods that made it so there is great similarity between all of the children of the Book. Yet every religion and belief system in the world has prayer. All religions have rituals and things to do when praying. All prayer is said and guided in such a fashion as to be effective. The things I have noticed for successful prayer no matter what religion a person is practicing is very similar to magic. It could be called magic which is basically the creation of miracles. Start the day out with some sort of prayer by what ever name you call it. It is a way to bring positive energies into our lives and also a way to show our day to connect to the sacred and divine energies. Starting the day out in a good mental space is priceless. It should be seen as a obligation to fulfill for our inner selves to thank existence and the sacred energies for our lives, the things we love and the people we love. Connect the love in your heart to the sacred energies. You can call it God's heart, Allah's heart, Buddha's heart and the list goes on but the main thing is to connect all sacred and divine energies to love and light. They do not involve anything but the divine help we need each day to move ourselves forward into the path of our life purpose. It is our sacred duty for all the good things that we receive in our lives no matter what religion we are practicing. Gratitude and appreciation needs to be shown.. Focus, visualization and concentration are next. Have you ever noticed when you are really upset and needy how you can focus on asking for help. I ask the divine and sacred energies each day for help. Yet most people do not do that and many times that is how a miracle is made. Focus, visualization and concentration are key for this. It means you can draw the energies that you need for the day, to help others, and to be blessed each day by doing this when you pray. The length of the prayer does not matter but the methods above do matter. Say what you feel and know that you will be understood. Life can be hard to figure out and all of us need the help of a positive start to the day, and divine help to solve the puzzle. The next is belief and faith. I have seen people nonstop pray but nothing happens it is as if their words are never listened too. You ask them and they state things like they do not believe they will be helped. The lord helps those who helps themselves. Yet you have to ask for help and then help yourself. It is how it works.  Faith is a difficult subject and hard to do. Yet it is the belief that everything will turn out OK and that things happen for a purpose. I have seen this mentioned in other ways. The soul evolves by all of the challenges we go through and they are never punishments. They can be lessons to help us in our soul development and to challenge us to have faith. The way to have faith is to visualize the end results of what you want to happen. It is hard to keep when things do not manifest right away but life is not instant. Starting the day with prayer and manifesting the end results of what we want in our life will create miracles. Prayer is also useful to create miracles for others that we know need help, that we love, and that we want to protect. To do this focus on good for the person you are trying to help and include them. Then say a prayer to bless them with all of the good things of life. You will be amazed how often this will help others to experience miracles.

More Lessons of LIfe

I have been working on myself with working out, and trying to have my diabetes get under control. It has not been easy but since I was able to buy a used bowflex I have been feeling better. Exercise is grounding so even when you are busy it enables you to clear you mind. If nothing else it gets you think about how out of shape you are. I will post a new photograph if I ever develop a bowflex body but now I am just happy to be doing better.

I had a client write this to me today-
Hi Nita The negativity can also cause you to believe something that is not true. I have had it happen in my life a couple of times. Someone gifted would tell me something that was right about a situation or part of my life that they had no way of knowing yet it was twisted with a lie. I believe a lying spirit entered them at that time to confuse me. I would instantly know it was not true. I would always look at it as God's way of testing me. It would always happen just before something manifested in my life that could move me towards a good change.

I wonder how many people have had this happen in their life. The gifted person helped them and then something twisted it so that it was a problem. Not only the gifted person being wrong but after work was done something seemed to reverse it and undo all of the good?

I have had this happen and I always wonder why and how it could happen. Yet if I look at it as something that is there set in place to prevent the person then I know that it could be identified as something like this occurring at that time. I have always felt that God did test our faith yet these changes seem to be beyond tests at times.

It seems almost like being put in a court room as a hostile witness while you are being probed by aliens. So I wonder if it is God's tests or one of the little ways that evil tries to erode the faith of our lives into something else. Truth is a double edged sword in many ways.

Demons are always considered purveyors of lies and so are many other spirits that are considered to be malicious. It makes us paranoid to be considering these facts all of the time. Yet how many people are brave enough not to doubt and still tell others the truth of how they feel?

I believe this knowing is a way to protect and defend yourself and a gift from God not a test. It would be so nice to have a way to know if something was wrong. This time someone did but other times what we accept twists the energies to the point of reversal.

Chaos is part of this and so are the people who create havoc and chaos for no reason in others lives. It brings energies into play in our lives that can be problem energies. Yet our acceptance of the bad things and fears are a big part of giving them power. I ask everyone who has a moment like this to think of something good to replace the chaos and bad. Pray for a moment and then move on with faith knowing things would be OK.

Chaos and Doubt

My website was down and it was my fault. I went into the cpanel and looked at the security settings and on one of them I hit submit with out changing anything. The website crashed and this was a huge moment for me. The hosting company figured out what was wrong and fixed it. They told me that the interface was not right so I did not feel like a total idiot.

Yet I looked at the last time I posted to my blog and realized that some times the stuff of life keeps us from doing what we are supposed to do. It is like that with everyone. How many of you have noticed that when you try to move forward and create a positive change things happen to your life. You have to finish one thing or the other.

Things get turned upside down and you doubt yourself and your decisions. The same thing happens in healing and doing magic or energy work to help others. You move forward and have the positive change set up so the person has the healing happen with his life moving forward. You know that you did a good job and that every thing should go well.

The positive meets the negative and the changes sort of freeze in place. What ever energies that need to be added by the person is not accepted or the person does not add them. Things just do not move or move in the wrong direction. The healers always have one of two reactions. One is I did every thing right so if it did not go right it was because it could not exist with what you are doing in your life.

The next is to try to problem solve. I am more of the problem solver type and treat each case like a mystery. Yet anything I do is allowed by the divine so if it does not work it is always the divine blocking it for some reason. It can make you doubt yourself, the divine, or anything you are doing to help someone. Doubt is deadly in healing, prayer, and in life.

People like to worry about things as if they are in control. We are in control of some things such as the bills, what we do and act like, our reactions and emotions and much more. Yet control of anyone else is impossible. Just try doing it in a marriage or with children. It will never work and will ruin every one's life in one way or another. People feel that they can plan their lives yet the only thing that can be planned is one end result moment. The rest of it and how it happens is always left up to the divine.

It is the same in healing and magic. You can pull down energies from above and set an end result in place. You can see the end result happen but then things do not work out in the normal way that you expect them to work out. It is always the change in the middle that makes anyone doubt themselves and that is where chaos and negativity can enter your life.

Once you get through the doubt and upset the end result shows up. It is not as you expected it because you put energy into all of your fears and did not energize the positive end results that you wanted to exist. You then go into the negative cycle again.

Doubt is deadly in every way and worry is not much better. I had a person who always doubted her magic and wanted it checked so she would be told she did good. Yet the time for checking is before you do magic. Doubting yourself afterwards is just like tossing all of your work out an open window. You may recover some of it but the rest is damaged.

It is not about drawing what you want as much as having the belief that it can happen. Doubt destroys belief in many ways and allows chaos into your life. Doubt of the divine wanting the best for you, saying God hates you, and other statements will block every thing good.

It is for this reason every one should think about this and see how they block their own lives. All divine forces love everyone no matter what religion. We have to appease our own fears more than an angry divinity. We can do a great deal of harm to ourselves by worry and doubt.

Guardian Angels

Everyone has a guardian angel. Yet so many people I work upon can not seem to find their guardian angel anywhere around them. I have always wondered how could a guardian angel be blocked. I could see some poor angel mugged, gagged and tied up lying in a spiritual alleyway trying to wriggle out of their ropes to get help.

Yet why would a guardian angel leave? The only way this would happen would be if the person they were assigned to said they did not want them around anymore. Angels have to honor our choices and free will.

So what if you have a big hairy nasty spirit in control of your third eye, and crown chakras and running the show. Does the angel know the difference or does it honor your order even if it is some other spirit talking through you telling the angel to leave? I feel this is the major problem. People who are under attack get angry. They say stupid things to the divine and anything that could help them many times because they can not see the angels are there trying to help.

Our choices, and efforts in our life lead to our experiences and lessons. If we are experiencing a rough time and instead of having faith that there is a reason for this and things will get better. We yell at the divine then we are cutting ourselves off.

Yelling in despair, asking for forgiveness, asking what we can do to make things better with first asking for help does not seem to have the repercussions of some of the stupid things I have heard people say to the divine. Some quotes are-"If you won't help me what good are you?", "Why do you hate me so much?", are just two of them.

No matter who we worship they are the spiritual parents, and teachers in our lives. They watch us and want the best for us. Yet there are times they make it so we have to learn what not to do. It is why we experience things in this world. We are given choices and our choices decide what sort of person we are and how we live our life.

I would never go up to my Mom and say if you won't help me what good are you? I am an adult and will do my best to help myself. I have had my Mother deny her help and many other things at all times. Yet I have been taught it was a sin not to respect my parents for what they have done correct and right. No one does everything wrong.

The divine is the same way and even made a commandment about how to treat parents in most major religions. So I believe many people should think about how they are talking to God. If you complain about praying more often when you are having problems then you negate the good energies that you are trying to accumulate.

If you have an attitude towards the divine it will get you nowhere. Just like an attitude with your parents will be your downfall in any family matters. Think of how you feel and if you can not put love, caring, faith and belief into your prayers no matter who you worship then you will get nowhere when it comes to getting help.

You have to ask for help and feel it with your body, mind and soul. The divine and the Guardian angels are like hurt family members that you have yelled at and treated shabbily. You have to make sure they know they you really mean it.You need them and will never treat them badly again.

I believe in the Hermetic magic Principle of duality. There is always an opposite to what you experience. Many people talk about walk-ins and divine spirits. There are also demonic walk-ins and demonic spirits. It means you attract what you put out and if you do not want the divine the opposite forces are there ready to take over your life. It comes about through your choices and actions.

The person themselves is the decision maker about what they are about and what they do. The person can be in the most oppressive circumstances possible yet if they have belief in the divine and try their best to be a real person living in truth it will work out OK. Most victims do not know how to live in truth or be a real person. They only think of how they feel and are incapable of putting themselves in someone elses place. It is the only way to judge how we have treated others. If you had someone say to you what you have been saying to the divine or the other people in your life. How would you act to that person?

Divine Connections-Part two

The trap with being angry at the divine is that it cuts off communications. Anger in a constructive way is not as drastic but still limits communications. I will give a couple of examples. Someone who has problems with obsession and other problems is upset. They feel God is letting them down. It does not matter what religion or God they are being let down. The divine knows everything and they are having suffering and trauma. How could God do this to them is what they keep saying over and over.

The second person who tries to be constructive about it wonders if he made a wrong decision. God knows everything so there must be a reason why this is happening. The second person may be angry but it is also when he repents and asks what he did wrong. Either way is a blockage as neither person asked for help.

Now both of them do some reading and realize they have to ask for help from the divine. They beg the divine to change the circumstances. Yet they are spiraling out of control and the reason for this is that the negativity is attached to their weaknesses, abuse and trauma. They have to learn to detach from themselves and see the problems from another perspective.

They can then work on and correct the problems that allowed negativity into their life. One person always feels they do things wrong. The other person feels they deserve better in life. It is our own perceptions that cut us off and keep us from connecting to the divine in most cases.

Evil and negativity can play with these perceptions until we break free of them. The suffering and abuse in the victims life is a big part of this. People who have not suffered abuse have a different view of life. The world is a brighter and safer place.

People who have suffered abuse have anxieties, and they worry. These emotions can show as a lack of faith and belief over time which forms a pattern that removes the protection of the divine connection. Worry is a lack of faith because we do not believe the divine has our best interests at heart. Anxieties are what makes our worry come alive as we imagine everything bad that could happen. People try to say it is problem solving and many times they use it for that and prevent bad. Yet it sets the patterns in the brain for the belief that everything can hurt them.

I am not one of those people who believe that thinking positive is the only way to exist since if you do not plan things out properly it will be hard to be positive. Yet there is a great deal to be said for having faith that everything will work out for the best. To believe that things will come through in a good way no matter what the problem.

Bad choices make it so sometimes the best is really a poor result. Yet if the person has made good choices having some faith instead of visualizing the worst that can happen is powerful. It does not make the worst things in life come alive. Fear of something bad happening is another way to bring it alive in our lives. The negative emotions have a powerful effect on our life.

Visualization is one of the big parts of life that causes problems and some people do their best work at visualizing the worse things in life. All of this affects our divine channel as it makes it so our perceptions tie us to the problems of the earth.

I was raised to worry and have anxieties by a parent that did the same thing. It is how it happens to most of us. My other parent balanced the first parent out by saying that being good to people and thinking the best could bring it about in your life. I was lucky that way.

Yet people with evil attached to them seem to be the ones who worry, are fearful, and have anxieties. It is what makes them susceptible to ghosts, and demons. They are normally abused and traumatized where evil can make them live through the worse times of their lives over and over again until they break the patterns of thought that trap them from the divine. It is rough to do but once the patterns are broken all of the things causing the traumas have less power.

The person comes out from under a cloud and can live again. The only way to remove demons and evil is by having the divine help you. It is not personal power but healing the divine connection to give the victims a chance to work out the problems with the love of the divine.

Anyone who is a healer who claims how much personal power they have is missing the point. Divine love is the only way a healer really works. It means that any healer, any magician that puts more faith in their own abilities and says that is where they are receiving the power is not connected to the divine. They are connected to their own egos and are as blocked as the people who are the victims of worry, anxiety and fear.

The divine power of the creator of Love is all that matters. No matter what name or religion you are a member of in this life.

Hidden Anger

I am wondering if part of the problems I have experienced with clients come from hidden anger. I believe most people that this happens to are angry with God or the Divine. They feel that this spiritual problem should not have happened to them. Why did God allow this to occur?

God is unknowable and to complex for us to understand. We know he is there but do we see the whole picture in what he does? I know I do not know his plan. No one is on this earth who is capable of understanding God. The reason for this is God is not something outside of us. He permeates every molecule of everything in this world.

So what can cut people off from God. Anger over the things that happen to them. I know everyone my self included feels that some things just should not happen to me or anyone. The person says they can not understand why a kind and loving God would do this to them.

The best advice I have at these moments is to say I trust in God that he is doing what is best for me and try to get through the moment. Certain types of emotions block us in our lives and that keeps our lives from moving forward. Grief, depression,trauma and the list goes onward brings about results where we lose our faith in life. Our faith that good will prevail in our lives if we are positive in what we do.

Every time I have had problems with breaking myself or others loose from the negative things in their lives a negative emotion is what is causing it. Hidden anger is normally the last one recognized because we believe we are being faithful even with feeling if God loved me he would not have allowed this happen. We are not being truthful with ourselves or God. God always lives in truth and everything else just blocks or obscures our good in our lives.

Faith in Yourself

I had someone mention this today and I had to think about it also. I have trusted others many times and had them let me down. This has happened with magical groups, friends, and clients. I always am upset over this but I have to realize that being a person who trusts and is kind to others is not bad. It is what other people do that is the problem.

Everyone has choices in their lives. One is to have faith that your friends and colleagues are telling the truth to you. One is to have faith that someone who says they are an expert really is an expert. I have been betrayed with these choices and I am sure everyone has problems with this also.

I work hard at my job. I try to do it right yet people who have certain types of problems always feel let down. The reasons for these problems are numerous but they all come under the same basic choices. They trust others who betray them, have been abused, have been lied to or manipulated, and they do not want to let go of these events. They prefer to stew over them and hope the person has something bad happen to them that they get to hear about and feel good that the divine finally got them.

The other type of people are the ones in denial. They expect someone to wave a magic wand and fix 12 years of bad choices in ten minutes. After all the curses upon them only took that long. They also deny what choices and things they did themselves. They either can not handle it or just feel that what they do is right and everyone else is wrong. No one does everything right and it will never happen that way. God is the only one who is perfect.

The reaction of all of these people is not to look at the problems left. It is to be mad because they have to change how they act. They do not want to do this so blame it on the person helping them. So it shows that I am not perfect either. The patterns of behavior block changes and leaves them trapped and attached to the very things they are so angry over. It is why forgiveness and removing negativity is so important.

Yet the one thing I have is faith in the divine. He always comes through even when you feel he forgets you. Magic not working always has a divine lesson behind it. You can help the person to a certain point but the rest is left up to the divine. So people should be asking instead why did the divine not help?

Most of the people I work with have no faith in themselves. They do not trust their choices because they have had things go so wrong. Most of them would make better choices if they had faith in themselves and looked at themselves as others see them. The person should then say do I really act this way and if they do not like themselves then work upon it.

The rest is about the experts. Ask for explanations if you do not understand it. Question a method if it is not you and ask for one that fits your nature. Be a part of the cure not just running through the same old reactions and actions. I know the only people I can really help are ones who start helping themselves. I encourage them and try to show them how to empower themselves. I feel so good when someone who has been a victim becomes a confident person able to help themselves. Yet do not trust me as being perfect- only God is that and I am not close to being God. Put your faith in God and that will make it so you know something perfect. Every one else ask questions and try to understand. You will then know what you will and will not do.
