The way this question is phrased almost seems as if it’s a trick.
Praying in a special way to somehow manipulate the Upper Force into answering my prayers and giving me what I want is simply an extension of the same type of prayer that is always given (and ignored) by the Creator, e.g. a prayer that is made for the filling of an egoistic desire (the only desires we have) that has not been fulfilled.
This is because the Creator is always in complete and total bestowal towards it’s creation, and from the perspective of the Upper Force the Creature is already complete. Consequently the egoistic prayers we make to the Creator are essentially irrelevant. The Creator already knows the desires in our hearts without us ever having to speak them aloud, so the formal request for the fulfillment of those desires are unneeded because they are already heard. But since the light cannot enter an egoistic vessel, the fulfillment of these desires are not felt and as a result the prayer ‘appears’ to be ignored.
However after fully comprehending the reality of our situation, particularly after coming to the Wisdom of Kabbalah through an awakened desire to rise above this apparent lack of relationship with the Creator, this realization eventually guides us to the only prayer that could ever possibly lead to the fulfillment of all other desires of the Creature. This prayer is a true and sincere need for the Creator, and to have the strength and faith to justify all of His actions as good. Eventually, this prayer (or desire) leads to the diminishing of the egoistic desires we were born with, and creates the space for the first non-egoistic desire to know and Love the Creator.
And because the Light can only enter non-egoistic desires, this desire allows for the perception of the Creator and begins the process of correction of the egoistic desires.
Wow. We are a needy people. If God is the Bestower, and we, created beings are the receivers, we “cry out” to have our needs met, our desires provided for by Him. If that is our intention – to connect with him by receiving his goodness in provisions, then whether we use words or not, our prayer is heard as we are provided for at all times with sunshine, air, and well-being. If we need it, we yearn to have it, it comes – from the Giver. Prayer, then is the intentional request from our hearts, words or not, that seek provision from our Creator. He always provides whether it seems good or not, in the middle of danger, sadness and more. We breathe. We live. We are provided for. When I went through my divorce recently, I needed a place to grow old in health and well being, and the money I was provided at one time only had to make that happen. I found a place and made a bid because I liked it and really needed it. It seemed to be the best solution I could find. There were no other bids for this property. I moved in and found out I couldn’t pay for it for 2 months. Then, the money came another month after that, at seemingly the last minute, but it all worked out. It was such a miracle to me that I have never been more convinced that God knows little ole me. It was provided for me, not my family, but me. He did that. I had a need. I yearned for a situation that would last and not create more need down the road. I received. I am so blessed! I want to share my blessings. It is a wonderful world though a divorce triggered all of it, a very unhappy situation. It turns out that it was a blessing in other ways as well. I didn’t want to live alone, but in doing so, I am being taught so many things! Life is good. Hope is eternal. People won’t always be so distant as they are now, both physically and emotionally. Life is full of cycles and my needs will be provided, even one for community when I have none presently in this home and location that I yearned for. It all works out for our good as we search for truth.
Siguiendo las instrucciones del Ari Hakadosh y pidiendo solamente corrección de la Vasija, que nos ayude a corregir el deseo de solo recibir, que nos ayude a recibir para otorgar, que nos permita tener el mérito de otorgar para otorgar, todo en el momento apropiado. Siempre agradecer. Y elevar el Man a través del estudio del Zohar HaKHaKadosh.
