“When we say to people, “I will pray for you,” we make a very important commitment. The sad thing is that this remark often remains nothing but a well-meant expression of concern. But when we learn to descend with our mind into our heart, then all those who have become part of our lives are led into the healing presence of God and are touched by God in the center of our being. We are speaking here about a mystery for which words are inadequate. It is the mystery that the heart, which is the center of our being, is transformed into God’s own heart, a heart large enough to embrace the entire universe. Through prayer we can carry in our heart all human pain and sorrow, all conflicts and agonies, all torture and war, all hunger, loneliness, and misery, not because of some great psychological or emotional capacity, but because God’s heart has become one with ours.”
The Ten Illusions of Humans
by Neale Donald Walsch
in Communion with God
[excerpt]
1. God has an agenda. (need exists)
2. The outcome of life is in doubt. (failure exists)
3. You are separate from God. (disunity exists)
4. There is not enough. (insufficiency exists)
5. There is something you have to do. (requirement exists)
6. If you do not do it, you will punished. (judgment exists)
7. The punishment is everlasting damnation. (condemnation exists)
8. Love is, therefore, conditional. (conditionality exists)
9. Knowing and meeting the conditions renders you superior. (superiority exists)
10. You will not know that these are illusions. (ignorance exists)
There are all sorts of books which describe how to meditate and what formulas to pronounce during these meditations. I do not deny that they are beautiful, useful, and effective. But there are two words which are never mentioned, words which for me are the most powerful of all, words which clarify, which harmonize, and which heal, and these words are "thank you".
