Opening
Today, my dear friends, we would like to share a prayer with you. You have been given many lessons by your teachers, which are all good and healthy for the mind and soul, and yet, only reading the lesson does not guarantee that you fully understand it or know how to apply it in your daily lives. It is therefore necessary that you prepare the mind using the techniques we have talked about to open the layers of the mind for input from your Indwelling Spirit who can assist you in understanding and applying those lessons.
Your Thought Adjuster (God’s pre-personal Spirit) is the Master Operator, which knows you so intimately—knows how your unique mind works, and truly knows the most effective way to reach and to teach you how to digest and use the information in spiritual messages. Because you have free will, you can allow or ignore this highest form of spiritual input, yet we know many of you students on the path want to learn, discern, and allow your Thought Adjuster to work in your mind and help you grow.
Prayer, my friends, is communication. It is a direct connection with the Father, the first Source and Center of all creation, and there is no better way to open up the layers of the mind for spiritual input than to make that highest connection with deity. It is the “drain cleaner” of the mind that clears out all the terrestrial thoughts about doing and thinking in the material world and focuses the mind, using the Agondonter’s faith, on “being”—the awareness of sonship. Sonship therefore, is the acknowledgement of the sovereignty of God as your spiritual Father—you being His child and heir to eternal life. To communicate with God is growth; therefore prayer is an effective way to open the layers of the mind for spiritual discernment and soul expansion.
Prayer
Please pray with me:
Heavenly Father, I come before you with a heart of gratitude and thankfulness for knowing that I am your child and that I have become aware of this most precious gift that allows me to live eternally in service to you. Father, I don’t fully understand what it means to serve you and be like you, yet in faith, I allow you to reveal this understanding to me as I make my mind ready to receive it. I open my mind now to you, Father, and allow you to teach me what I need to know at this time in my spiritual journey, that I may grow and expand my awareness of you and my purpose in this world and in the greater universe.
Remind me, Father, of your Indwelling Presence in the midst of my busy day that I may take pause and open my mind to your quiet voice. I willingly ask for your assistance in having mastery over my emotions and reactions to those who are less aware of your presence that I may be more open, patient, and loving. Guide me to know when to speak and when not to speak that I may better discern the place in which others stand on the path, be it near or far from you. Keep me in a state of readiness to receive your guidance, Father, for I desire this constant contact with you, my guides, and guardians. I love you, Father, and I know that I am loved by you.
Closing
And so it is.
Peace to you,
The Circle of Seven
