WHEN YOU MAKE THE TWO INTO ONE
The great Neville Goddard once said "our thoughts and emotions do not recede into the past, but rather they advance into the future to confront us there as our world. Our thoughts, or lack of them amongst everyone else, cause our worlds." Discovering that this process is underway awakens us to the prospect of the Divine, and when the process works, we have found God to be our own wonderful human imaginations. Our imaginations, because God is imagination, and he has become us. We, are made in the "image of God."
The world naturally mirrors our own thoughts and emotions whether they be good, un-good, or indifferent. We can control the thoughts and emotions to be reflected. Neville used various mental devices to get the Mind to imagine a scene so real and complete and full of emotion that it would become manifest in the future. If we can get this down, then collectively, the world will reflect it.
From the perspective of the ancient Essenes, every human on the earth is an initiate in the Mystery School that we call Life. Whether they are conscious of it or not, every human will experience in the presence of others, mirrors of themselves in that moment. If we have the Wisdom to recognize those mirrors, we may accelerate the evolution of emotion and understanding. We come to realize that it is emotion that proves the power and, when coupled with logic, true magic and miracles will happen.
The Lost Gospel of Thomas saying 106 tells us:
"When you make the two one, you will become the sons of man, and when you say, 'Mountain, move away,' it will move away." And verse 48 tells us: "If two make peace with each other in this one house, they shall say to the mountain, 'Be moved,' and it shall be moved."
As Author and Geologist Gregg Braden has presented, the two are the thoughts and the emotions of our imagination. When they become one in our heart it is as if our prayer has already been answered. Braden also talks about John 16: 34 as translated from the ancient Aramaic which escaped the "Christian" editing for the Bible. In the original it states, "All things that you ask straightly, directly from inside my name (nature, imagination), you will be given. So far you have not done this (we've been asking incorrectly). Ask without hidden motive and be surrounded by your answer. Be enveloped in what you desire, that your gladness may be full."
Neville said we must make our future dream our present fact by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled - to come FROM the place where it is already happened. We must feel the feeling as if it has already manifested ... already taken place. This is the language of the universe ... the Field of consciousness that understands in feeling and in magnetic resonance more so than with spoken words. Make your thoughts and emotional feelings one in your heart. See and feel it as if it were already done. "Ask and you shall receive." But not just spoken repetitive prayer, but FEEL it ... feel the feeling of that which you desire. The feeling IS the prayer.
Feeling-based prayer is a form of prayer that transcends any single religion or doctrine, and goes directly to the natural ability within each of us to participate in the events of Life, healing, and peace directly, responsibly and effectively. To implement this mode of prayer, we are invited to simply focus the feeling in our hearts as if our prayers are already answered.
Further ancient Essene studies by Mr. Braden have shown that he lost mode of prayer is a form of prayer that has no words, no outward expression, and is based simply in feeling. Specifically, this mode of prayer invites us to feel the appreciation and gratitude in our heart, as if our prayers have already been answered, even if the events in the world appear to show us otherwise. Science and Physics agree that our world and our bodies mirror what we think and feel. We must be very clear that our prayers originate from our hearts, rather than in our heads. The logic of our brain works in polarity left brain/right brain, light/dark, good/bad, right/wrong, etc. Praying for something creates a strong feeling of what should or should not be. The physics of our world require that when something is created with a charge in one polarity, the opposite must be created as well, to balance that charge.
Our hearts, on the other hand, have no polarity. In the indigenous traditions, there is even a word that describes the non-polar objectiveness of the heart, the heart that sees what is, rather than judges what should be. The word is Shante Ishta (the single eye of the heart). When we choose peace or healing from our heart, there is no polarity created to balance our choice, as there is no left and right heart. From our heart, the FEELING ... IS the prayer. Studies have shown that this quality of gratitude and appreciation for the peace that already exists, creates a field effect in the presence of peace, all that can happen is peace.
Studies into the effects of this type of prayer offer new credibility to ancient propositions suggesting that we may actually "do something" about the negative events in the world, both present and future. These studies add to a growing body of evidence suggesting that focused and feeling prayers and heart-felt emotions, especially those offered on a large scale, have a predictable and measurable effect on the quality of Life during the time of the prayer. This has been measured using numerous experiments, even during the 911 tragedy.
Mother Theresa was once asked to attend an "Anti-War Rally." She declined attending, adding that when there was a Peace Rally, she would attend. She understood that by rallying against war, it would only manifest MORE war. An even deeper view would suggest that by even mentioning that the world needed peace, would be an admission that there was in fact NO peace in the world. A tricky conundrum. Choosing our words, our feelings, and our emotions precisely and carefully we can co-create new and better realities for ourselves and for others. By matching the feeling (prayer) of our inner world with like conditions in our outer world, we are able to manifest our desires.
Once we allow the qualities of peace in our Mind, and fuel our prayer through feelings of peace in our body, we state that the outcome has already happened. Set your intent, have a pure motive, and FEEL it as if it has already taken place. This is the power of conscious manifestation.
Just a thought ...
