Ruler of the Mind?: Prayer Questions

[SeekinTruth]

I just thought I'd throw something else into the mix here since we are suppose to be looking at all ways of interpreting what is being said in the PTOS.

that's the way I see it too

Same here, that's how I've been interpreting those sentences :)

Same here. Also some other elements mixed in, such as, the As Above, So Below concept and the relationship to Higher Emotional Center and Lower Emotional Center, Higher Intellectual and Lower Intellectual, etc.

a sense of peace comes over me when I read that!

There has already been a great deal of discussion about the prayer in this thread.

Particularly note the following from that thread:
Dear Evolutionary!, Freelancer, Woodman, and all...

I want to thank Buddy for succinctly stating exactly what that prayer is about:

Every suggestion for 'improvement' that I have read so far seems to be incorporated into the wording of the prayer as is. You just have to keep contemplating until you see the meaning in the deeper structure.

And Pepperfritz for pointing out that it was Objective.

All of that is intentional.

As I said, I started with the Lord's Prayer and basically "translated" it into total cosmic terms, including every single element that is in the Lord's Prayer. If you read it carefully and contemplate the meaning behind every phrase, you will see that.

Also, I am convinced that this prayer was not composed/modified without assistance from the Cs. As I have many times explained, very often when I have a burning question inside and I ponder it for awhile, the answers come to me. I don't always have to use the board for that! (Though for most things I prefer it because it is less prone to corruption - even if I think that we have a pretty robust "corruption meter" going on anyway.)

So, over time, I asked the Universe to help me "translate" the Lord's Prayer into something that would be Universal in every respect, and you have the result.

Please, read it line by line and think about it from every angle, every aspect. Try to think about some part of your existence that it does NOT cover. I don't think you will find any.

Finally, one thing that was uppermost in my mind was this: "Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all else will be added unto you."

If you understand the "kingdom of heaven" as knowledge/awareness/being then you will see that the prayer deals with exactly that. I am also reminded of a story in 1 Kings 3:5 where God appears to Solomon and says: “Ask for whatever you want and I will give it to you.” Solomon thought about this and finally asked God to give him an "understanding heart." In other words, he asked for wisdom/knowledge, the ability to see and hear truth so that he could be a good king.

So God gave Solomon an understanding heart AND all the things he did not ask for… riches, power and honor and so on.

When we have true knowledge and awareness, when we have BEing, we are allowing the Universe to express itself through us in its mode of knowledge, awareness and BEing. If you think about this for a moment, knowledge and awareness and BEing include, by default, being in synch with life and creativity and creation itself.

If you have knowledge and awareness and BEing, no matter where you are or what is happening, you are in the right place at the right time; you will see what you need to see, hear what you need to hear, meet who you need to meet, and have what you need to have. All of that is included in "seek ye first the kingdom of heaven."

Seeking knowledge of all creation is learning to express the Universe in it's aspect of knowledge and when you do that, you are expressing unlimited potential.

This is what you receive when you ask for an "understanding heart."

With an understanding heart we also experience compassion and love. We also experience gratitude and inspiration and most important of all, trust in the Universe to know what it is doing and to submit ourselves to our true, higher nature - that which can be born in us if we die to the personal wants, needs, assumptions, expectations, and so on.

So, again, go over that prayer and explain to me ONE thing that you would lack in your life if all that prayer asks was granted to you.

"What profits a man if he gain the entire world and lose his soul?"

It is, after all, the Prayer of the Soul.

---
Finally, the issue of the Divine Cosmic Mind, the Holy Awareness in All Creation being Ruler of our Minds is exactly the same as saying "Thy Kingdom come, thy Will be done, on Earth (in our body) as it is in Heaven (our minds). Because, as Jesus pointed out, the Kingdom of Heaven is within.

As the above link is outdated, this is the link for Laura´s post, with - as stated - an extensive discussion on the Prayer of the Soul.
It is in the thread from Session 20 June 2009, where the 3 stage breathing program Éiriu Éolas was first time mentioned and developed.
The Prayer of the Soul, spoken by Laura, can be listened to online within the Éiriu Éolas program.

Thank you Breo for posting the thread from Session 20 June 2009 on the three stage breathing program and Laura's post on the Prayer of the Soul. I compare these to having staples in the home to survive the storm. I have often wonder how all of this began and can't imagine being without them. Truly a gift from Laura and the C's.
