Q. Please talk about the relationship between meditation and healing.
A. There is little understanding in your world, at this time, of the power of thought or energy. Because you live in an empirical world, a world which calls 'real' only that which it can see or sense, in the most concrete meaning of these words, you are unaware of the deepest truths of your reality, which are energetic. Your sciences subscribe to chains of events which are apparently uniform and regular. Although at the deepest levels of your physics, chaos and the indefinable is better understood, for the most part you believe that objects conform in their behaviors to laws and that these laws are predictable. What you fail to understand is that what appears to you to be unchangeable in nature is only a matter of common agreement. Because you have been taught that something is so, and therefore believe that something is so, so it is. Especially when everyone else around you has learned to hold the same belief. But this is what is true: the entire universe is constructed energetically through the forces of attraction and repulsion. You participate in this construction through your own experiences of desire and aversion. Through these forces you create the world. There is no non-subjective reality, no physical reality, no natural law, except what you have agreed to participate in and subscribe to on a moment to moment basis. You call the world into being with your intention. But understand that this is not a simple process of affirmation or denial; it is your energy plus your consciousness which create the force for manifestation. If these are not in alignment, no manifestation will take place. For this reason, 'affirmations' frequently do not work. The world as you see it is entirely a reflection of who you are - but in toto, not only in idea.
Having understood this, it becomes easy to understand that the most effective way to create healing at any level of reality is energetic. In other words, when you bring your true intention in full alignment with your energy into creating peace on the planet or healing in a friend, this cannot help but effect the whole. This is the force of creation.
When you sit on a daily basis and allow your heart and your mind to speak a prayer for peace and healing, this is the most powerful contribution you can make to the transformation of the planet and mass consciousness. Know, however, that change is slow because many are committed to the illusion of separation and what they feel they profit by by maintaining this illusion. To create change at this level on a world-wide scale is a cosmic task, because of the power of conditioning that is undergone from birth. However, your prayers influence the whole and change the world you live in in an immediate way, for as you bring your consciousness to this work your own life shifts to new levels.
Know this: at all times there is a circle of healing around the planet. When you put yourself in the circle, the world shifts. If you study the history of thought between 1900 and 1999 you will see that mass consciousness does indeed shift. Therefore, offer your prayers for healing on a daily basis. Pray for the transformation of human consciousness, pray for balance on the planet, pray for the healing of the earth and for the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of those you love. Know that this level of healing works, above all else. Visualize the healing you desire. Join yourself to the circle of the many who pray in this way, who bring their energies to the healing of this planet. See the power of this force. In this way, healing is accomplished.
Q. Please define what you mean by prayer
A. Prayer is the offering of your intention and your energy into a desired outcome. It is the conscious statement, "I bring my intention to this: that the earth and all its inhabitants be healed; that human beings live in their hearts and know themselves to be one with all things; that war and aggression end...". In such a way prayer is the conscious direction of energy into healing. It is the offering of self as a vehicle for this healing. It is knowing oneself as part of the sacred nature of all life. This is prayer.
