If Prayer Is You Talking To God,

It's One Thing To Make A Pronouncement In A Moment Of Inspiration About What You Intend To Manifest In Your Life Or What Kind Of Person You Intend To Become. It's Quite Another Thing To Make A Commitment To Holding That Vision Regardless Of What Difficulties Or Obstacles May Surface. Holding The Vision Involves An Unwillingness To Compromise What You're Visualizing For Yourself. It Means Being Willing To Suffer Through Criticism And What Appears To Be An Uncooperative Universe.

Just Be Honest With Who You Are. Don't Pretend To Be Something You're Not. Don't Be A Phony. Walk Your Talk. That's How God Works, So Doing It Is Emulating How Source Works.

Most People Are Searching For Happiness. They're Looking For It. They're Trying To Find It In Someone Or Something Outside Of Themselves. That's A Fundamental Mistake. Happiness Is Something That You Are, And It Comes From The Way You Think.

The Physical Universe That You See Is All In Your Mind. When You Turn Your Mind Off, Or Become Unconscious, The Physical Universe, For You, Disappears. Then, When You Awaken Your Consciousness, The Universe Reappears Magically. Quite Simple Really - No Thoughts On Your Part, No Physical World. As Walt Whitman Succinctly Stated: "the Whole Theory Of The Universe Is Directed Unerringly To One Single Individual - Namely To You." Without Your Mind To Process It, The Universe Simply Disappears Into Nothingness.

If You Say To The Universe Again And Again, "how May I Serve? How May I Serve? How May I Serve?" And You Live A Life Of Constancy Reflecting That Principle, The Universe Will Respond Back, "how May I Serve You?"
