With all that has been given to us, or that we have been deprived from, we have lots of predetermiend factors – based on our ancestral genes, upbringing, childhood environment. And all this may already predetermine how we feel or think about things. Yet, we have the chance, the free will, to make a decision to move on, once we understand we can. And we can decide to want to grow, and search for an environment that can help us to grow – books , friends, teachers.
Well, itś basically all new… but so far in this course, the understanding of prayer was very helpful, also starting to understand about the middle line,…and about the fact that the creater is unchangeably good, and that he means to fulfill the creature, that is humanity as a whole, and all other of his creation, with utmost pleasure. Also the fact that. we are all feeling disconnected and as single individuals , but are still part of „one“ creature… and therefore, we are all connected (whether we wish so or not) – thatś all very strong impressions and images.
I would wish to gain a spiritual foundation and to share this with others, to connect with humans that share this intention.
I may pray for changing myself, but there is no need or sense in praying for whishes or needs that I feel I might wish to have fulfilled, because the upper force is good and only good for the good and the evil ;and itś unchangeable in that being good. So I dońt need to ask for it. The only thing I might really need is the understanding and acceptance to work along what „good“ might mean in a specific context, especially, if I cannot feel that goodness from the position I am taking. THerefore, I might feel lost or overwhelmed, and that is when I might pray for help to understand and change my position / attitude / feeling towards any given challenge or towards my position in this network. And if I would want to pray for a change of the whole of human beings, than I can as well only do it without thinking about what I wish. or need for myself. Because the latter doesńt need prayer. If there is a need, and it can be answered, without harming the development of those involved, it will be answered without my prayer. However, understanding that process is nearly impossible… and therefore, all I can pray for is to gain understanding and the strength to change towards the needed direction.
This is such an awesome course, it’s amazing how things are just brought together, very mindblowing . Thank you so much for the dedication in developing and sharing these insights.
