A Call To Prayer

How It Began

At the end of 1990 I was awakened in the middle of the night. Unable to sleep, I had some deep concerns, and was prompted to sit down with a pen and paper to ask questions of myself - to clarify and understand why I was dealing with some of the issues in my life that seemed overwhelming.

As I wrote, I felt the presence of an intelligence beyond my own - that something was responding to my questioning, and as I allowed myself to write what popped into my mind, I also felt a strong sense of comfort and warmth. The information I received pertained to questions I'd asked about myself, but as days, weeks and months went on, more information was given on broader subjects that seemed to be meant for others as well. I showed the writing to several people who asked for copies, and before I knew it, more people wanted to read what I received.

The "voice" that I heard was one I'd known as a child when my life was difficult. It had created a sea of tranquility for me in the midst of tragedy and hardship - and I'd come to call it "My friend, God." When I became a teenager, the voice receded and had not fully been present again until years later. Every time I heard it, the information was provided to guide me through the mine fields of life. Each time I'd gotten my answers, I'd once again return to counting on life and myself for direction - neglecting the God given gift of guidance I was given.

Only in those moments of stress would I turn to something greater for help - and how many of us do this? We go last to the place and space we should call upon first. The admonition, "Thou shalt  put no false Gods before Me" speaks volumes about how we allow our lives to become shallow, meaningless existence - motivated by what others think, want, or tell us we should be. How often we forget where our inheritance is - where the source of our supply comes from - and how often we are caught in a web of illusion as a result.

What I received many years ago became a framework for gatherings of people who came together to remember who we were and why we were here. The work was known as A Call To Prayer - and the purpose was to assist us in opening our hearts to prayer and guidance - to find our way Home.

I am sharing the writing that became A Call To Prayer here, a little at a time, so that it may benefit someone else who has forgotten the way or the truth of who they really are, or the fact that the only thing that counts is our ability to Love, and that we are indeed created and held in the arms of Love regardless of how we see ourselves. Through compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, and service to higher ideals, we become the vessels of healing and stewards of the Living Light. To this end, I offer you these works.

A Call To Prayer

Chapter 1

December 5, 1990

There is a Call going forth - to each of us.  It is a Call to awaken to the Source of Life that is our Creator.  It is a Call to find our way to reunion - to overcome that which separates us and to regain a sense of unity through Prayer. 

We all have access to the Voice of God in whatever way/religion/belief makes sense to us. There are no insiders or outsiders...no special ones. We are equally precious to our Creator as each voice is an important note in the Symphony of Creation.

The world is in the process of a Great Turning and as we activate our inner voices to find common ground, we may pray together as never before.  Earth is undergoing major octave/frequency changes...and we must all get in tune. As we pray for Life, Light and Love, we are able to send out a chorus of "song" (prayer is the medium) that will attract a dramatic healing vibration to the damaged and ravaged planet and all creation that inhabit her. Hardened hearts can only be softened through loving prayers whose sole  purpose is to radiate unconditional love.

You will read in the following pages accounts of my friend, Christina, who went to Medjugorje in Yugoslovia. Her accounts from the Blessed Mother/Feminine face of God of the need to pray is similar to what I have received and what others are receiving. This call is to everyone....no  barriers of any kind...it is a clear call for us as one humanity to participate in a  re-union process. I am given to understand that prayers need to be life giving and life affirming...not based on the concept of sin. These prayers can be personally crafted (they contain elements that make you feel loved rather than judged...hopeful rather than hopeless). Prayers can be taken from any culture or background....for all backgrounds have the same Universal Source.

The following excerpts are from daily "chats with God".  The purpose in sharing is to open you to your own inner chats with your Source of Life. The questions or comments by the writer are in italics, the answers in bold print. As with all writing, it is important to find the elements of truth contained within that resonate to you and leave the rest behind...separating, as it were, the wheat from the chaff.

The Need for Shifting Perception

 

Shifting your exterior reaction is only accomplished as you shift interior perception. The outer is a signal that the inner has or has not been accomplished.  As your outer world appears stuck or limited - you need only look within to find the cause.  Herein lies the sticking agent. As you internally alter and stretch and unblock yourselves - the outer must follow. This demonstrates the unshakeable law of Cause and Effect - and it works in small and large ways. 

The causes of external events follows internal shifts- so when a violent storm, volcanic eruption or earthquake take place - they do not just happen - they follow law of C &E and although the momentum of the effect is not previously seen visibly - it is perceptible at an inner level when you utilize your instincts and feelings - so not only do you have your personal C&E - you are also linked to a larger C&E chain. 

There are no victims. This is fiction invented to cover truth. What is needed for clearer perception is given to each one of you. There is nothing unfair - it is merely not understood in the moment because you are unaware of the greater reality unfolding. Instead of perceiving yourselves as victims, you must ask what the lesson is presented  for and what internal shift or understanding  needs to be gained from this lesson. Where there is internal paralysis there is need for external prompting to growth. The more rigid the interior - the more noticeable the prompting.

The process of insight is not logical and many of you would like to have it handed to you logically in a sensible way so you might logically dissect it. This is the lesson  - to Be At One where you are - in the state you are - in the place you are and to allow a new reality to spread within through another media - not logic or intellect - to perceive at a different cognitive level so that the sensing is not a head trip but a full awareness and understanding. Swim in this. Don't try to figure it out. Dive in and feel it!

The Effects of Intellectualizing

As you are afraid, open to the moment and allow Me access to your Being - allow Me to fill the moment - to replace your doubts and fears. You are all so intent on dissecting and intellectualizing Me. I AM. It is as you do with the body - your miniature universe. You dissect the nervous system, tissues, blood vessels, organs,  etc. etc. - and yet  the body is none of these alone - it is the flowing in concert with one another without conscious thought that is your life. If you were to focus on one aspect you would freeze - you would move as an artificial creation. You would lose the spontaneity of living in the dissecting of living. You do this with Me through your philosophies, psychologies, occult tools, etc. These are aspects that need to be experienced as a whole.

I AM as refreshing as letting your body live without analysis. Do not dissect or try to understand - you freeze in front of Me - instead walk in to Me and feel Me throughout your entire being and let ME BE. This is how you can come to Live in Me at any moment - and each moment I AM there when you but turn and offer yourself without restriction (intellectualizing, conditioning, judgment).  Empty yourselves of everything you "think" you know and bare yourselves to Me. I AM The Way, The Truth, and The Light In Me is Peace, Harmony and Salvation.

The Effects of Separation

That which you call Satan is the separation of your individual Ego structure from its true Source.  It is here that you struggle for dominion - but it is a battle unnecessary.  There is room for All in My Kingdom.  There is no separation or Hierarchy because it is ONE SYSTEM working together as does your physical body.  For full harmony, all parts and impulses need to be in agreement.  Disagreement causes disease and the body loses its light.  It is a perfect metaphor for My Kingdom.  Ego is a portion of the function - it is a beloved "child" to me - an aspect of great importance -but not the All. 

Because of powers to reason - to think and to make independent decisions - there is potential to distort without full connection to Me. There is no quality of life without Me  - remember this when you find yourself believing in what you see, feel and touch outwardly.  Life is a gigantic clue - and if you take the pieces given as the perfect gifts they are intended, you will find your way Home - meaning, you will overcome all barriers or hesitance to choosing Me in all ways. You will overcome your tendency to separation and find Re-Union. 

The Effect of My Presence

I AM your daily bread - therefore, you need be mindful of Me moment by moment - for you will have a starvation diet if you seek me only one day of a week.  It would be better if you gave one day a week for the pleasures that divide you - but keep Me ever at the center of your activities. 

Ask when you are in need. Do not fear to listen. I AM a Just God and a Loving God. What appears to you to be my wrath is the power of Life. Life is not static. It is a dynamic process of formulation, unfolding and decay. I AM the original recycler - nothing is lost. When great upheavals occur there is necessity in them to contribute substance to new formation. 

Life feeds upon life and recreates itself. You eat of life and life eats of you in one way or another.  When you identify with the outer events, life can be terrifying.  When you identify with Me, life becomes a sensible and wondrous place - because the Mystery of Unfoldment holds seeds of the miraculous - and as you look to Life as a great clue - you are ever surprised and may marvel at the intricacy and delicacy of the interweaving elements...even in the midst of tragedy.  So - look to Me as your only Source of life and inspiration. My cup runneth over and as you open yourselves to be filled with My Presence - so shall you be.

The Importance of Relinquishing Control

You each need to open more to Me and recognize the message for you in every given attribute of others now present in your life. As you let go - feel it now in your body - let go of the need to control - you can let me say anything and perhaps you will hear a truth. Perhaps you will learn something and perhaps you will truly benefit. On the other hand, I can lead you to a rocky shore and abandon you - and still if you are to live in Me you must believe that the rocks and the shore  will be the best home for you at that moment. 

You need clear your preconceived beliefs and ideas - you need relinquish separateness from Me through your pride. It is alright to be humbled. It is alright to admit your pain, your narrowness and your fears. I already know them. It is alright to have feelings and hurt and anger and wanting something more. It is not loathsome to me - it is only your Ego - Satan - which has separated in myth from the All that Is. It is in this bitter need to save face - to have a point from which to defend - a high watermark - that dissolves you. You need none of it. Sit and feel the emptying. Empty your mind - empty your body cavity of the tension and the hot air. Come to Me - Be in Me. You are loved by Me with all your imperfections and idiosyncrasies. I AM the Beloved. 

Hold out both hands. Give me your body - give me your self - give me your Soul  - I AM your Spirit. Sit now and relinquish control. You don't need it. Feel when you resist your environment.  You hold back rather than flow into it. See the bird and the birdbath and the garden - now take them all in as one and you are merged with them.  No separation - One Reality.  See how the bird is unafraid - it looks at you - you become part of the harmony in the environment. You are not a threat because you overcome feelings of separation. This is all a feeling exercise. Your feelings dictate perception and perception dictates reality.

Flow With Your Creative Affinities

If you want to give yourself to creative expression, do it. It is also a product of perception. As you see and flow with your noble affinities, there are no barriers. Only when you hold them separate and apart from yourself is this the case. See each thing as a flowing counterpart - don't hold yourself back. Then you may be surprised at the results of flowing without restriction.  Practice this exercise all day. Feel the restriction automatically rise and then flow through it. 

It is your sense of separation that blocks all healing - all loving. Practice connecting as a flowing exercise - it is not like magnets - it is a fluid connection of harmonizing elements - blending. Fear brings overwhelm. A confused connection can cause feelings of being over-run. The act of flow is to experience the oneness of all life and in the act of flow - communion. There is no sacrifice - no identity loss - no overtaking. There is dissolving of separation. Healing can then take place. 

Again, the purpose is not to flow and become or overtake another - it is to flow beyond all barriers of individuality - being able to move unobtrusively in and through all things and to just as easily flow back into yourself.  You only lose yourself when you are aware of your own separateness while extending in and through life surrounding you. As you move forward or out of yourself - you are merging with the Divine Life in all. 

You are not seeking to magnetically lock on to another aspect or personality - you are practicing detaching from the perceived limitation of the body to join the universal body of which each individual aspect is a part. Do you understand? So you do not merge with another - you merge with the Divine in another. Then there is no robbing or being robbed. There is enrichment at the Highest level - the Universal. Do this in love, in friendship, in healing, in sexual expression - with food - every act of  living. You merge with the Divine in all interaction with Life. It is a very powerful experience.

Hold No Barriers To My Expression

I AM a Christian God, a Jewish Jehovah, A Moslem Allah, A Hindu and Buddhist Brahma. You are all My children and I show Myself to you according to your faculties. I AM the Goddess - the Great Spirit - there are innumerable names that speak of Me - but behind all - I AM. As I make Myself known to you according to your makeup - you can digest Me.   

The importance of inquiry is to view the many paths that lead to Me - respect each, for none is better or lesser. All faith has Me at the Core. All fear has the creation of man at its core. Man has in his folly attempted to create Me in his image. This is feeble and has caused disillusionment - I AM as I AM. I AM content in My repose and you need find Me in a way akin to your heart.   

As you have anger or resentment about any one of my messengers, reflect on your feelings. If you have rejected your own heritage, find your way into the heart of your wound related to the tradition of your upbringing. Move into the realm of the teaching and separate that which has caused you pain from the original message of the teacher. Each teaching has Me at the heart. The key is to return to the Heart of the teaching. Make peace with the religion of your upbringing and find the original message in its teaching that is uncontaminated. Fear and separation...judgment and lack of forgiveness are not messages of the original teachers. Remember this!

The Purpose of Prayer Beads

Prayer beads are a conduit for higher energy vibrations - they are a way of focusing on something larger than yourself, and as you infuse the beads magnetically through prayer, they link up with one another - they alter the frequency of the surrounding environment. The tonal quality is Love - beads are in a circle - they need be connected link - unbroken circle - you may follow directions and create your own in time.  They should be combination of wood, metal and stones. They should be partially in colors that correspond to frequency ranges - they are to be positioned equally on either side.  There are to be 76 beads in total...with a medallion that has significance to you in the re-defining of your religious upbringing. ( I felt that this direction of the  beads was for me specifically.  Any beads that have significance to the individual praying are the right beads for  that person).

You are to return to Basics - bottom line - but you are filling the corpse with renewed life. Then the Living God can ignite and infuse hearts with life, light and love to replace the anger and despondency now prevalent.  That which has been dead will rise again - but your "new age" investigations have not been for naught.  The infusion of light to the stale and decayed will aid the rise of the dead - and a rebirth will occur. 

Your prayers CAN alter the outcome of events. The sincerity within your hearts is the key. Purify your minds through prayer. It is an exercise in faith and it links up worldwide - it has no barrier .  Prayer beads have been used by all groups in one form or another for centuries. It is a point of focus - but the quality of the materials are the radiating elements that spread the "good news". You are going back to basics - to fundamentals - but not in the fearful, judgmental ways of the Fundamentalists. This is no exclusive club. Everyone's way is acceptable - everyone's way is necessary because it views Me from the multifaceted aspects of My Nature.
