The Prayer of Peace

The Prayer of Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is error, the truth;

Where there is doubt, the faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled, as to console;

To be understood, as to understand;

To be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

A Bedtime Prayer | Auguste Toulmouche (1829–1890)

A Prayer for Understanding

O Christ, the Divine Power within me,

Help me to unfold and develop the great love-force and the great understanding,

That back of the mind, and back of all life,

There is a Divine Something, which can accomplish that which nothing mundane can touch.

Curtiss, Harriette Augusta, F. Homer, Letters from the Teacher, 1924, The Curtiss Philosophic Book Co. California, U. S. A., Vol. II, Chapter IX, Financial Problems, 127-8

O my soul, my soul!

The Eternal Oneness of Life

The Eternal Oneness of Life

David Knights-Whittome (1876–1943)

Pray! 

Prayer is the affirmation by the soul of its unity with the One.

The eternal Oneness of life—that is redemption, both of man and of the earth.

Humanity is the One and humanity is the many and all together you may come into the inheritance of your Father, which is in heaven.

He is the One and the Many, for He is in the many and the many are in Him. You cannot realise Krishna save as you realise Him as the Self that is seated in the hearts of all beings. You cannot realise the Christ until you can see Him in the hearts of all beings.

Boatwoman, Canton (Guangzhou), Kwangtung province, China | John Thomson, 1869 | Wellcome Images

If we could get into our consciousness a realisation, not a mere philosophic theory, of the One and the many, we would understand that the One is in all the many, whether some of them be our friends or our enemies.

Edward S. Curtis (1868–1952) | United States Library of Congress' Prints and Photographs division

In Him, we are One—a unit in the Great Universal Being—a microcosm in a macrocosm.

No man will ever know God until he consciously becomes One with God.

Jesus, the Master, reflected that Light pure and untrammelled during His dwelling in the density of crude matter. The Light dwells in all of us as a shining effulgence, the Light of Oneness with all Spirit, the blessed awareness and acknowledgement of unity with all creation, from the lesser to the Higher Orders, even to the Throne of Grace Itself.

Frances Benjamin Johnston | United States Library of Congress' Prints and Photographs division

Multitudes of people are like the million dewdrops in which the one sun is reflected. Untold millions of them but only one sun. So is our relation to the eternal One.

Vedic Teaching

This is the statement which I have to make—that there are many gods and that the One God is the sum total of all of them. All gods exist in God. Do what you like with that statement, dear world, for truth is more vital than anybody’s dream, even yours or mine.

Wise words to live by.

Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.

—Rumi

Cling to the idea of immortal life.

The Universe is multidimensional—as are you too in nature.

The Universe is a place of energy, of vibration.

Cling to the idea of immortal life.

Whatever we desire or love begins at once to travel toward us unless a stronger force from a different direction draws it away.

Émile Vernon (1872–1920)

You are a creator. Nothing more, and nothing less.

 We are non-physical in nature.

The physical you is simply an extension of that non-physical being.

Your purpose for being in the physical state is simply to master this reality, which is one of many.

You are the creator of your own reality. It is not something you find; it is something that you create and draw to you through your desire for it. Not only do you learn and grow, but also you create the learning process and choose how to learn and create the growth. 

 

You are a creator. Nothing more, and nothing less.

What is Karma? How does it work?

What is Karma? How does it work?

Beloved Omni tells us that the belief in Karma that we suffer or pay back in this life for what we did in a past life could not be further from the truth. This is only true if you don't change your mind! 

The belief in karma that we suffer or pay back in this life for what we did in a past life is only true if you don't change your mind!

The Universe springs forth from thought, and thought precedes all action. Karma is not a law designed to punish you or to bring you into balance, it is merely the Law of Attraction expressed in different terms and interpreted through religious structures that for many millennia have been based on the concept of redemption.

Karma is not a law designed to punish you or to bring you into balance, 

Your experience on Earth is not one lifetime after the next, it is one total physical experience, and it is one physical experience that has many forms. Therefore, if you hold the belief in one lifetime that you are unable to create wealth or are not worthy of wealth, and this belief is strong enough to motivate you to steal, then it is this belief that will follow you into the next episode of physical experience. It is not the deed that draws karma to you; it is the belief that led to the deed and the thought behind the deed. 

It is not the deed that draws karma to you; it is the belief that led to the deed and the thought behind the deed. 

All the answers you seek concerning yourself are to be found in this lifetime experience, for your beliefs are in the present; you hold onto them in this current time and space. Change your beliefs, and you will change your karma!

Change your beliefs, and you will change your karma!

No one is obliged to suffer hardship for anything. And as difficult as it may be for many of you to hear this, there is no punishment, no judgement, no failure, no negative karma. There is only experience. In the highest sense, there is no right and wrong, nothing that can turn away the magnificence of God's love for you.

There is no punishment, no judgement, no failure, no negative karma. There is only experience. 

John L. Payne, Omni Reveals the Four Principles of Creation, 2001, Findhorn Press, Scotland, UK, Chapter 2, Universal Laws, 21-2

As you focus on a subject, the subject will grow.

When you think of anything you want, the Universe instantly starts bringing it to you in the way in which you think of that thing. By becoming aware of your judgements, prejudices, fears and limited thoughts around any subject, you will learn to transform them to a higher expression.

What stops you from getting what you want?

What stops you from getting what you want is that when different aspects of the subject come up for review, you get discouraged. There is no need for this. The wonderful thing about understanding that you create your own reality is that you can clearly see where you are placing your thoughts by what manifests in your life. You always get what you think of, what you believe! Remember that.

This is how you get stuck.

All thought is creative, and each new thought that you have launches a new creation in your life. When you start to think of the reasons you can't have something, that also goes forth as creation and counteracts the previous thought of creating what you want. This is how you get stuck.

Universal energy only responds to focus.

Remember, the Universe does not understand the difference between want and don't want; Universal energy only responds to focus and the energy that your feelings add to that focus. From this perspective, worry becomes a process of creating more of what you don't want.

What lessens your ability to attract what you want?

What lessens your ability to attract any great quantity of what you want in your life?

When you resist or disallow what you do not like—if you resist, fear, guard against that which you fear, disapprove of, or simply do not want, you shut down the flow of Life Force Energy coming to you and that in turn lessens your ability to attract any great quantity of what you want in your life.
