Prayer and Praying is soothing for many people as well as providing some level of hope for better times ahead. It also tends to create the effect that we’ve moved into a place of action – we are “asking” rather than just sitting waiting for things to get better.

But there is a downside to the traditional form of prayer that Mystics recognize. It places the Divine Source outside of you, as something separate from yourself. It says to you that “You are Less Than…” and therefore must entreat to a powerful external force. For the Mystic this is at odds with the understanding that God / The Divine Source (certainly not a man with a beard sitting high on some hill, but rather the infiinite source of creative energy and information) is an integral part of you and all of creation.

You are an emanation of God, The Source, in human material form. To “invoke, call on, implore, appeal, entreat, beg, petition, supplicate” to yourself doesn’t quite seem right. To connect, unify, harmonize, and fully merge with the Divine Source which has created you, is creating you in every moment, and to recognize and align with that immense power is the natural path of the Mystic. The Mystic realizes that they and everyone are much more powerful than they realize. If they are Gods in form, then they possess the same creative powers and capabilites (albeit at a lower level).

The “Mystic Prayer” then is not an entreaty or petition but a daily practice of synergizing your material form and all aspects of your mind-body-spirit complex with the Source of Divine Vibrational Creative Energy and Information that is Creating through you. To align with its Creative Direction and to be the one “on the ground” implementing its Will in Creative Human ways for the highest good of All. This alignment results in Intentional Co-Creation and Manifestation with the Divine.

Praying, is Speaking to God. Meditation, is Listening.

The “Mystic Prayer” then, is not speaking, but listening. For to connect with the Divine within you, to align with its will, you must be able to hear, feel, and understand it. This requires a deep level of inner silence, stillness, and humility (the subduing of the Ego). Most Mystics meditate and strive for deep mindfulness for this reason, to still the mind, to minimize the ego-chatter, so that they can realize and connect with the Divine Source within (Passive Meditation). Once connected, that Divine Energy field guides you, heals every aspect of you, and provides you with the power to co-create and manifest your desired reality (Active Meditation).

You are God in Form. You create like it does – through the power of energetic vibration via your thoughts and emotions. To ask that it do something is fine, but what it wants is for you to remember who you really are. It desires that you re-connect with it, and create what is in the highest interest of yourself and others, on your own utilizing your inherent God power – the power of Divine Thought and Consciousness.
