PRAYER FOR COURT CASES

If you have business to transact with your magistrates or with your princes, and desire to obtain their special favor, then pray this prayer early at the rising of the sun and in the evening at sunset. Do this three times
over pure olivve oil, while at the same time you think unceasingly, upon the
holy name; anoint your face, hands and feet with the oil and say the prayer.


Still another peculiarity of this prayer is, when you find notwithstanding the utmost industry and case, your business does not prosper, and you have reason to fear that an evil star, spirit or destiny is opposing you, then say this prayer daily, even with great devoutness, and you will soon find yourself in more favourable circumstances.

POWER PRAYER FOR LUCK

If you have been unlucky hitherto, in spite of every effort, then you should say this prayer three times before the rising of the Sun, with
humility and devotion, while at the same time you should impress upon your mind its ruling holy name, and each time the appropriate prayer, trusting in the help of the mighty lord, without whose will not the least creature can perish. Proceed in person to extricate your contemplated undertaking, and all things will result to your entire satisfaction.


If you wish to accomplish an undertaking by or through another, proceed in all things as already stated above, with this exception: you must change the prayer.

The Inward Prayer that Never Ends


“Now remains only to show that there is a prayer which may be performed at all times and in all places, which by nothing can be interrupted but by sin and unfaithfulness.

This inward prayer is performed in the spirit of the inward man through faith and love, and therefore is justly called the Prayer of Faith and Love.

This Prayer of Faith and Love is simple, pure, universal, and obscure, without observing or distinguishing plainly the affections, words, or what one prays for; and, as nothing can but bounds to its vast extent, so is nothing able to interrupt it or make it cease. And so this Prayer of the Will, or the Prayer of Divine Love, which consists in the entire inclination of the hear towards the Supreme Good, which is God, can be as little or rather less interrupted, since the hear is never weary of loving.”

The culmination for all prayer for Kelpius, and similar mystical streams, is in the
experience of Inward Silence.

“For our parts, we should and can do much as to refrain from all thoughts and words (those excepted to which the circumstances of our conditions, business and office oblige us) and to avoid all rational cogitations, all forms and figures, not only during the time of our prayer but also all day long, that as soon as they appear we suppress them without admittance.
I have long ago very well conceived how necessary it is not to suffer any thought to enter into the mind, neither good nor bad, and to be free from all figures and images in order to perform inward prayer. We ought not to believe that such a state of inward Silence is indolence or a loss of time. By no means: on the contrary, the soul is then more active than ever, since she is practicing faith, hope, and love:…Let this then henceforth be our prayer: because in such a reverential Silence the
great virtues are so nobly practiced, but chiefly for the sake of pure Love.”

Active Principal Behind Prayer


If we are made in the image, power, and likeness of God, then it is our duty to come to
experience this divine-seed potential inside ourselves, through an understanding of the spiritual
principals that decide success and failure.

While prayer will always be an art and science, in which ‘Man proposes, and God disposes,’ or in which other factors unknown to us will come into play and be considered in any decision making by God, a careful study of prayer reveals several important points.

Point One - Most people’s prayers are childish in nature thereby defeating the very purpose for
what they are praying. We are to be independent, decision making beings, who know from
experience what is right, wrong, and to make the effort to align ourselves with Love. Our
reasoning power is as much a divine attribute as our power to make new bodies for life, or
commune with the Divine in prayer and meditation. If the purpose of our prayers is something
other than Divine Communion and Illumination, then we are obliged to use our reasoning power
to assess the worthiness of our request prior to our practice session.

Point Two - Reason out your request, just as you would a business plan. God is not a vending
machine. Ask for what you need - what is the BIG PICTURE? We can go into ourselves for
Divine assistance as often as is needed, but it is best to spend our time praying for wisdom rather
than bread. If you need something material, ask for what will serve you best long term.

Point Three - Be succinct. Use as few words as possible. Use a clear, concise, inspirational
picture or visualization to assist in your prayer, and to inspire you while building confidence.

Point Four - Asking for help is not a sign of failure. Eradicate the ‘I am a bug oh Lord’ mentality
from your prayers. Prayer is similar to going to a more knowledgeable person for advice and
assistance. Remember, Jesus says that God is your Father too! You must develop the feeling that
you are a child of God and it is your right to go to your ‘source’ for assistance, comfort, and
wisdom, so that you can lead a more productive, healthy, and happy life.

Point Five - Prayer must be followed up by action. “God helps those who help themselves”.
The material universe is known as Assiah in Jewish mysticism. Assiah is ‘the World of Action’.
We are here to do, to act, to create.

Point Six - Wisdom Triumphs All. Pray for Wisdom, for Illumination, for insight into the nature ofcreation, and everything else will be made clear to you. Jesus said, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of
Heaven…” If we have wisdom, we find solutions to our own problems. If we increase our
wisdom, we increase our knowledge and direct experience of God in us. This brings harmony
into our life.
Point Seven - The best prayer is silence. While we may utilize small rituals, such as lighting
candles, visualize scenes from Scripture, such as is recommended with the Rosary, or count on
beads, true prayer happens when all of these preliminaries are complete, and we enter into the
Silence.

Silence is prayer, and prayer is silence, for in silence we listen to what God, our Higher Self, Holy Guardian Angel, etc., has to say to us. When God speaks to us, we must listen, and know that we are not special. That this message is for us, and us alone, and that each has the ability to enter into a similar state of ‘conversation’ if they desire. Just as each speaks their own language, so too, God speaks to us in a language we understand. For this reason each of us must find our own method of stilling the mind, and listening to the Word within us.

Some churches and religious rites involve shouting, yelling, ecstatic movements and
trances that bring the individual or group to a frenzy. While this may be seen as a celebration of
God, it is not prayer. While one may exclaim the glory, power, and love of God while in these
states, they are not prayer as is classically understood. Prayer is silence, and in silence we pray.
Prayer is not loud, boastful, or extremely verbal. Prayer is being relaxed, possibly swaying gently
as the inner rhythm of the body takes over, and the spirit begins to free itself, such as Hassidim
are seen to do.

Prayer is calm and peaceful and peace producing. Prayer is not eyes clenched tight, with voices raised in ‘Hallelujah!” Swinging in mass convulsions to the screaming tempo of a pulpit being pounded cannot bring peace. While such forms of worship impart a powerful emotional
and cathartic release of tension and anxiety, and from that release a sense of peace, they cannot
bring the inner peace of silence. Remember, “Be still, and know that I am God.”

Johannes Kelpius wrote that the true prayer is a prayer that never ceases, can never be
interrupted by external distractions except our own human weaknesses, is the prayer of the heart;
and that this prayer would lead us to the Prayer of Silence.

Why We Pray


It is a false idea that we pray for God. God doesn’t need our prayers. We pray for
ourselves. In doing so, if we pray with gratitude and thankfulness, and simply request a peaceful,
happy, and harmonious life, we will find that many problems will ‘mysteriously’ and ‘miraculously’ solve themselves, and others will simply fade away.

If we pray that we might become more, rather than that we might have more, then we are beginning to understand the proper place of prayer - and in fact - the whole reason for our existence. When we root, or ‘cleave’ as the original Hebrew suggests, ourselves to this idea, and fix it firmly in our subconscious, them we can begin to place ourselves in a position or making requests of God.

The question is asked, though, “Why do we need to ask anything of God?” Why is it not
simply handed to us? “Ask and you shall receive.” In asking we grow, in asking we make
decisions, in asking we are responsible for our life, actions, and consequences. In asking we
grow in fullness of our Divine Nature.

The more we pray, the more we open ourselves up to Divine Truth revealed from within,
and not from a teacher, book, or pulpit; we clear out the obstacles to our personal happiness.
While teachers, books, and pulpits can be useful tools, they can only be guides to our realizing the
truth, and cannot replace the force of direct experience and its transformative effect on our life.

“For it is possible, my son, that a man’s soul should be made like to God, even while it still
is in a body, if it doth contemplate the Beauty of the Good.” - Thrice Great Hermes, Corpus
Hermeticum

Humility
True prayer, the prayer of the heart, requires humility. We recognize how small we are in
comparison to so many things, and yet how in potential, we can overcome all problems, and find
peace in all situations. Humility is an attitude of right relationships; it is an act of love. It is
openness and joyful receptivity to the wisdom, love, and power that God is constantly expressing
everywhere, all the time, in all people, places, and things.

Humility is an act of egolessness, while still retaining a fullness of whom and what we are.
Humility is the stripping away of appearances and standing naked in the full light of cosmic reality.
Only by willingly undoing ourselves, our false notions, ideas, and beliefs, can we move forward on
the Path of Illumination, the Path of true growth, of Becoming.

Scriptures and practices throughout the various esoteric traditions suggest that prayer be
done in silence, in secret, and in private. Public exhibitions of prayer, especially by an individual
who draws attention to the fact that they are praying, are to be shunned. Enter into your ‘closet’
or personal place of worship be it an oratory or sanctum and pray there. Find the Divine powers
in your breath as it meets the sunrise and the moon in the open field, or your backyard. Pray in
secret, not letting the ‘right hand know what the left hand is doing’ and find this peace within
yourself.

Prayer is different than other practices. Meditation is similar, yet it can easily become a head game, and dry out the heart rather than nourish it. Rituals can easily degenerate into superstition, mere formalism; they become an end in themselves, devoid of deep meaning and mystical participation.

Reading and studying holy books if not coupled to an active prayer or
meditative life, is simply intellectual study. Prayer requires an inward orientation, coupled with
complete humility in the presence of an all powerful, all knowing, and all universal intelligence.
Christianity EtcRe: Welcome To The Prayer Mission For All Nations by YahwehRocks(op): 1:37pm On Nov 27, 2018
Why Do Prayers Fail?


1. Doubt
Doubt is caused by forgetting, or not really believing that God is All. We hold in the back
of our mind doubts that God is everywhere, in everything, and knows all that is, was, or could
ever be. We in fact, doubt the very existence, let alone nature of God.

This doubt is our undoing and the root of all failure. For prayer to be effectual, fear must
be overcome.

2. False Ideas of God
Even if we do not doubt the existence of God, we hold false notions about God, which
can all be traced to God’s Triune attributes. Even here, we may believe them to be true, but is
what we attach to these beliefs and how we qualify them, that limits our ability to experience God
more fully.

We may pray for better health, but often it is not health we want but life. On closer
examination we find it is not life that we want but that we are afraid of dying. This fear of death is
our true motivator. It is created out of, and creates in return, false ideas of God, ourselves, and
what physical life is all about.

True fear of death is caused by a fear of life, or true living. True living is being in the state
of peace that comes from within and not from external supports, no matter how positive they may
be. Yet most of our supports are negative or neutral at best. Only by the slow erosion of time, or
the speedy destruction of disaster, war, or disease, do most of us come to realize how much value
we placed on the external, transient, and impermanent things of life - acting all the time as if they
were real, unchanging, and would be with us forever.

These false ideas about God are ultimately rooted in false ideas we have about ourselves,
our relationship to God, each other, and the material world. These false ideas hold us in bondage,
and the only way to free ourselves from them is to open up to the imminent presence of God in all
things, experiences, and moments of time.

Opening to this Divine Presence is equivalent to opening ourselves up to the creative
power of God, often referred to as the Holy Spirit in Christianity. Rooted in the Jewish belief of
‘Shekinah’ or the ‘Divine Presence’ of God, the Holy Spirit finds it origin in the period after the
destruction of the First Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem, when the Jews were taken into captivity
in Babylon. Here they stayed for 70 years, and in the process incorporated many Babylonian
ideas into Judaism.

This was not that strange, since Abraham, the Patriarch of primitive Judaism
was from a nearby land - the Ur of the Chaldeans. The Talmud finds it codification at this time.
Zoroastrianism influenced Judaism in this regard, with its complex angelic and demonic
hierarchies, as well as the idea of ‘The Holy (Creative) Spirit.’ The Christian admonition about
not having sinned in thought, word, and deed is identical to its Zoroastrian source.

This creative power of God can be experienced when we open up to it.
Christianity EtcRe: Welcome To The Prayer Mission For All Nations by YahwehRocks(op): 1:31pm On Nov 27, 2018
The Metaphysics of Prayer
Regardless of one’s metaphysical theory used to justify or explain the reasons prayer is good for us, in the end, prayer is about ‘Being’ and ‘Becoming’ not about ‘having.’ In the Tanakh (Old Testament), Moses sees God in the form of a burning bush, and asks, “Who are you?”; he hears the response, “I am, that I am.” The Hebrew is Ehieh Asher Ehieh, and is often translated in one of three ways. Each implies an evolution or growth factor, that being is not static, or fixed, that God is not static or fixed. Whether it is God that evolves and changes, or it is our understanding and experiences of God that evolve and change is a matter of personal opinion.

In the end, the Bible and many religious texts are clear on the point that each of us is made in the
image and power of God and has the potential to fully express that creative essence in our life.
These energies exist for one reason: so that we can become more like the Divine Blueprint we each hold, and more perfect in our expression of the Divine powers of omniscience,
omnipotence, and omnipresence.

On this, our long journey home, like the Prodigal Son, we must enjoy the life we are given, make it useful to others, and remember that it is just passing. The true fruits of our having lived will be in how closely we reflect the Divine Power within all of Creation. Health, wealth, human love and relationships, status, fame, and everything of this world are passing, and are left at the door that opens to the Inner Kingdom.

Our character is what we are judged by. Be it by the Scales of Maat of Egyptian fame,
the Book of Life and St. Peter, or our own Higher Self.

Use prayer first and foremost as a means of developing your inner strength, strength of
Character, Virtue, and Illumination; and in the end, physical, emotional, mental, and even spiritual
crises will take care of themselves.

Yet if God is all knowing why is it that our prayers fail? Why is it that we feel compelled
to ask God for things, be they necessities or luxuries?
Christianity EtcRe: Welcome To The Prayer Mission For All Nations by YahwehRocks(op): 1:21pm On Nov 27, 2018
Research has also shown that people who are more enthusiastic, relaxed, and happier
overall have more activity in their left-prefatory lobes. Pessimists tend to have more activity in
their right-prefrontal lobe. This suggests that by reducing the amount of activity in the frontal
lobes through either meditation or prayer, we can bring our brain into better balance, and with it,
our disposition and attitude towards life. We can, in fact, become masters of our personal
happiness.

However, research has shown that these benefits are derived when in a state of deep
relaxation, such as only prayer, meditation, and certain stages of sleep can provide. To fully
benefit from the natural hardware our bodies are built with, we need to use the right software.
Prayer and meditation form the core of “programs” that are rooted in ancient, time tested
practices and traditions. In Western Esotericism these programs of study and practice are
found in Qabala, Alchemy, and some schools of Astrology.

The Chemistry of Prayer
Positive emotions have a beneficial effect on our body’s chemistry, and as a result, our
health. Being healthy and feeling healthy are related; in few exceptions does someone have a
significant health problem come out of the blue. The body takes time to breakdown and time to
repair. We assist this process, or inhibit it, through our day to day, moment to moment, emotions
and attitudes. This is not to make extraordinary claims that each of us at all times can ‘think
ourselves well,’ but to point out that we, ourselves, are the most significant factor in our health,
wellness, and longevity. We can take advantage of that power, or not; but the choice,
responsibility, and consequences are all ours.

The Psychology of Prayer
Without the advances of modern medicine and technology it would be easy to see prayer
as simply the placebo effect as a result of effective self-hypnosis. Even if we were to stop there,
and accept this as true, consider the critical importance of what has just been suggested. The
mind-body connection is so powerful and overwhelming, that given the right circumstances,
emotional focus and confidence of a positive outcome (often through training), the mind can
control the body in a manner that is startling to the point of being called miraculous.

For many this is enough to encourage engaging in regular prayer and meditation periods.
However, the idea of spiritual force is inherent in prayer, and is a life force that is
supreme, unique, creative, and in whose image each of us is made. This takes the power of out
the individual, and places it somewhere else. Or does it? God is love and love is prayer. To pray
is to love; and as we are told by the spiritual Masters, be they Saints, Righteous Men (Zadekim),
Unknown Superiors, or Bodhisattvas, the ideal is to love unceasingly, and in doing so, to pray
without end.
Christianity EtcRe: Welcome To The Prayer Mission For All Nations by YahwehRocks(op): 1:20pm On Nov 27, 2018
Benefits of Prayer


One of the major hidden benefits of daily meditation and prayer sessions, even for a few
minutes at a time, is what is known as the ‘Relaxation Response.’ In addition to altering
brainwaves, a measure of the degree of one’s relaxation, prayer and meditation both show the
ability to measurably lower blood pressure and increase blood flow to the heart. However,
prayer also creates several conditions within us that build character, improve human relations, and
assist us in finding peace and meaning in life.

1) Heroic Optimism (True Courage) is experience based confidence that we can overcome any
obstacle, situation, or frame of mind we are experiencing, through the reliance, request, and
expectation of spiritual assistance in whatever form that might take. Heroic Optimism is a true
opening to greater freedom and possibilities. It is true courage, or “power of the awakened
heart.”

2) Altruism (True Generosity) is the healthy placing of others before ourselves. It is thinking of
the impact of our actions on others before we act, and then acting in the best interest of all.
Altruism is also knowing when and how to help others so that they may learn to help themselves.
It is giving without expectation of reward or recognition.

3) Gratitude (True Humility) is being thankful for each day, for being alive, and knowing that we
have an opportunity to experience and express Divinity in our life. To plan and act for the future
and growth, while being content and happy with each day.

4) Right Relations (True Love) is to know our proper relationship to others, nature, and the
Cosmos. This is Love. To love one another, to love each other is to know true courage,
generosity, and humility, and to put them into action in daily life. Love is the powerful emotion of
attraction that holds people together through the most difficult circumstances. Love is the power
of attraction that pulls each of us out of limited views, and into the deeper level of mystical union
with the Cosmos. God is Love, to Love is to express your understanding of God. “I give you
one commandment, Love ye one another.” The more we love, the greater is our optimism,
courage, understanding and experience of the Divine, the greater our optimism and courage. Love
knows no fear; love is supremely confident. Through love the cycle of growth continues in an
every widening circle.

In Christian terms, we could say that prayer requires and promotes the three graces, of
Faith, Hope, and Charity. Faith is our heroic optimism as applied to our spiritual life. Having faith
means that even in our darkest moments and deepest despair, we hold fast to the single idea that
God will hold true for us. Hope is our heroic optimism applied to the material world, and states
that we are continually hopeful and even joyful of the fact that no matter what is happening at the
moment, life is good and gets better. Charity is our heroic optimism applied to human
relationships, and is a tangible expression of love. Charity is love in action; it is broad, tolerant,
all embracing, and the single most important act we can undertake. It is the force of Divine
Creation surging through us, connecting us to the rest of the universe.

If we look at these words, we can see that prayer is the wholehearted, singular focus on
the expression of love. Anything that reminds us of love or increases our feelings of love is prayer.
To love is to pray.

In doing so, prayer also helps to develop and strengthen positive coping styles, which are shown to consist of: gratitude, optimism, and forgiveness.

The effects of prayer sessions are nearly immediate. Prayer is one of the few activities that
can be done anywhere, anytime, that can give nearly instant results and positive benefits to body
and mind. People who practice for at least three weeks, the minimum amount of time shown to
develop a habit, report increased feelings of well being, greater energy, and few health problems
during that period.

What is even more amazing is that these benefits are accumulative in nature! The more
we do it, the better we get at it, and the more easily we experience and benefit from the physical
and mental payback from praying regularly.

The Neuroscience of Prayer
When we experience deep relaxation, we go from being in normal aroused conscious
thought (alpha waves) into theta waves. Our frontal lobe, responsible for reasoning, planning, and
self-conscious awareness, shuts down and gets some needed rest. Other areas of the brain that
reduce their activity include the parietal lobe, the reticular formation, and the thalamus.
Information flow to the brain is controlled and reduced, thereby creating a feeling of greater
‘oneness’ and sense of ‘expansion’.

How to Pray


Prayer involves many of the same basic skills as meditation. In fact, we might consider it a
form of ‘verbal’ meditation since the use of words to express an idea, desire, or aspiration form a
core component of the process of prayer.

It is important to emphasis the critical nature of our attitude in all of our undertakings, be they spiritually or materially directed. Intention is everything in spiritual work. It is the driving force that decides all outcomes. Intention is our deepest heartfelt desired outcome of the operation.

From a technical level we can analyze prayer, and realize it is an event, something we
experience, with several distinct characteristics. By incorporating these characteristics into our
own practice, we can increase the efficiency and emotional satisfaction we derive from our prayer
life.

1. Prayer is a visualized event. Until two generations ago it was common in the Roman
Catholic Church for both laity and ordained to visualize specific scenes when praying. This was
true particularly of the Rosary, as well as the Exercises of Ignatius, practiced by the Jesuits, to
involve visualizing images along with the reciting of words, coupled with the emotions of strongdevotion and confidence, or faith. In some instances it was suggested to not simply visualize scenes in the third person, like on television, but to be present in the scene, observing and participating in the events being mentioned in the prayer. With the loss of this critical piece of
technology, prayer is reduced to rote, and as devoid of life as an empty husk.

2. Prayer is an emotional event. Prayers must be sincere, heartfelt verbalizations of our state
of consciousness, or they are dead. Simply repeating words that we learned as a child, or rote
memorization that requires no focus or concentration, are the outer shells of prayer. These are the
cast-offs, but they are not prayer. While they contain the seeds of potential real prayer, these
seeds are still dormant.

3. Prayer is a confident and optimistic event. Prayer, even in times of trouble, is an
affirmation; it is a positive statement (verbal) in a positive state (emotion) of consciousness.
Prayers said out of desperation or fear are little more than superstition. Prayer affirms the
omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent power of God; that means, in this we ‘live, move, and
have our being.’ “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” -
Psalm 118:6

4. Prayer is a timeless event. Prayer transcends time, be it the words of Jesus when he said,
“Do this in remembrance of me,” or when we look to find peace, success, and spiritual meaning in
our life. Each prayer is like a brick in the Temple of our heart. Like the word Temple, we enter
into our heart to transcend time, or tempus. To pray is to seek communion with Divinity. To
achieve it is to experience Eternity.

5. Prayer is a personal event. Even if we pray for others, in the end, it is ourselves that we are
praying for. When we pray for those who have injured us, strangers we do not know, or the
demons of the abyss, in the end, even if no one else benefits, at least our heart is made broader,
stronger, and more loving. “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when
thou hast shut the door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in
secret shall reward thee openly.” - Matthew 6:6

6. Prayer is a unifying event. Prayer is Love. Love unifies, brings together, unites, and gives
proper place to people, places, and possessions in our life. We know them for what they are: an
aspect of the omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent power of God, even if we have failed to
see them as such in the past. Just as we can become too attached to a particular aspect of the
Cosmos, we can become too attached to a particular person, place, or possession. Crises and
conflict can be useful in breaking those attachments and allowing us to put things in their proper
perspective, in the same way a life changing crises can trigger a closer relationship to God. In the
end, it is how we use what is put before us that decides what we will make of it, rather than the
event itself. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath
torment. He that feareth is not made in perfect love.” - 1 John 4:18

7. Prayer is a Selfless event. True prayer is selfless in that it unifies the individual will, or
desires, with the Will of God. It brings our energies, our being, into harmony with the creative
forces of the Universe. Selflessness becomes our natural state, not one of sentimentalized self-
sacrifice. In the end this false self-sacrifice is still focused on the individual, thereby feeding the
human ego and not transcending it. But, a self-sacrifice that recognizes the limits of self (ego) and
joyfully accepts them, thereby pressing more earnestly into union with the Source of All.
