God Perceived as Too Distant. Prayer

In the traditional perception of God, outside of Islam and Judaism, He is seen as too distant to pay attention to us. Such a view consequently leads toward idolatry and even worse practices. It arouses various grievances toward God and directs the soul toward various groups, astral cliques, and commands that contain instructions and promises conveyed by them, given on altars and ritual objects dedicated to them.
The victims of such practices look at the world through the eyes of addicted, helpless beings whom God has essentially abandoned, leaving them at the mercy of intermediaries. Representing God is a favorite trick of quite a large group of astral and earthly tricksters, and it is not true that following their path leads to the purification and healing of the human soul.

Please, open now, O God, my heart, my soul.
I have forgiven myself for the belief that God—the Creator in pure form—is too distant for me and for the requests of my soul.
I have forgiven myself for the belief that INSTEAD of a distant God, beings of the spirit world, astrals, and omnipresent forces of nature are more important to me. I always go straight to divine light instead of turning to this or that group of spirits.
I have accepted that the most wonderful and most powerful of all manifestations is my Creator, God—the God who is the Creator of the universe. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that God remains without interpretation, without mutual contact with me, because a human being is not capable of communicating with such an immense power. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that God is a spirit too powerful to be grasped and understood, and therefore too distant. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that people turn to the Creator and mention Him in prayers, but in a healing ritual or any other ritual He rarely acts on a mundane and practical level. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that God the Creator in pure form is too distant for me and for the requests of my soul.
I have accepted that all power always comes from God, the giver of life, and I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that one cannot directly commune with the source of all divine power. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that the only possible relationship with God, the creative force, is total yet simple homage and fear. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that by mentioning the Creator in every prayer as the source of everything that exists, I am only to worship the fact of His presence and acknowledge that it is not for my human mind to comprehend Him. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that the souls of the dead and astral beings are meant to be worshiped.
I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that the purest and highest God, the giver of life, does not reach people. I have forgiven myself for not being interested in making the effort to achieve any direct experience of contact with God through meditation and my own prayer. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that I may experience illumination directly from God, but only as a side effect of an advanced spiritual state, and not through systematic, intentional action. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me that it is best to get intoxicated in order to establish contact with God or His representatives, so that conscious immersion in the infinity of the Creator may occur. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that God, the creative power, simply exists—mysteriously, incomprehensibly, and is always too distant.
I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that souls and astral beings are omnipresent and unimaginable, but at least embody specific, defined, and thus limited forces. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that souls and astral beings, that forces of nature such as the sea, lightning, or a tornado, can be more powerful than God. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that souls and astral beings respond to the prayers of spiritually purified people and are stronger than God. I do not need to pray to spirits and dead people. I do not need to ask spirits and dead people for help so that they may transmit some of their energy through a special song or ritual. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that God the Creator is incapable of understanding too much to understand me and cannot or does not want to take care of me. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that the souls of the dead and astral beings are much older than the human race, stand much higher than us in spiritual evolution, and are purer. I have forgiven all those who instilled in me the belief that the souls of the dead and astral beings exist in order to see the most important things and to be able to fulfill their life mission. I do not need to open myself to extreme rituals just to focus the attention and blessing of spiritual ancestors. I do not need to pray to spiritual ancestors, souls of the dead, astral beings, earthly and energetic gods.

And what are we like in our relationship with God? Do we have enough trust in Him and in ourselves to allow Him to act through us and let Him bear responsibility? Yeah—go with the flow, and if something doesn’t work out, we’ll be left alone with the mess 😉

I recall from the past that if, in any dilemma or decision, even a small one, I remembered God—“Thy will be done, O God,” “let the Highest Good be done”—then things worked out. Back then I didn’t know this, so I created karma. And even now I forget—apparently the personality does not fully believe in God, does not trust Him, or has not developed the habit. When it truly realizes that it pays off, it will hand over the decision-making field to the Higher Will. For now it also believes that God sends tasks, tests, difficulties. If you pass an easy lesson, you get a harder one. So it’s better to repeat grades—at least you know which lessons they are. Concepts of God collide, which is reflected in reality.

Wicher. If you pray to God, then you believe that He will hear you and fulfill your request.
If He fulfills it, it means that He understood what you wanted.
If God understands—He thinks.
If He thinks, He may have a different opinion in every matter than your soul, which you call the personality.
However, He ultimately decides, and the soul, which knows a bit more about God than the personality, fears the negative effects of action—and consequently the will of God—which may somehow limit it, e.g., in the next incarnation the soul receives a crippled body. Thus lessons for the soul may be easy or unbearably painful.
In numerology there is even such a concept as “Your LESSON means that…”

God does not understand our prayers, and yet He fulfills those that are in accordance with His will. He adds power to them. But God does not decide which prayer to fulfill and which not to. God does not violate free will and does not fulfill prayers that we feel unworthy of receiving. A prayer is fulfilled, or not, depending on OUR openness and consent to its fulfillment. Today I was burning patterns that God is malicious and fulfills all prayers of rebellious little angels in reverse. And just as the client believed, so her prayers were fulfilled. Then she came to the conclusion that it stemmed from the belief that she deserves nothing good from God, only punishment, and reversed prayers served exactly that role. And God… had nothing to do with it.

A lesson for the soul—let’s say it’s a metaphor. Maybe a good one, maybe a poor one. Lessons for the soul are chosen—or rather created—by the soul itself. And it does so until it understands that its will is to be fully aligned with God’s will, that is, the Highest Good of itself and others.

Leszek. This is a peculiar statement and probably deeply rooted in the soul.

– You have at least 4 definitions of God which you juggle freely; these are: god, Superconsciousness, Higher Self, plus a fourth one which I will not write.
– You have at least 3 definitions of the soul which you juggle freely; these are: soul, Lower Self, plus you consider yourself as the incarnating subject, as the ultimate decision-maker.
– Because after the karma of a living god your soul still considers ITSELF a divine being, it regards itself as the god who thinks, rather than as a particle of divine light—one of many.

You wrote: “God does not understand our prayers, and yet He fulfills those that are in accordance with His will.” Think this through deeply; give these intentions to God.

If “God does not understand our prayers,” then He does not know what you or your soul mean.
If “God does not understand our prayers,” then He is a half-wit whom people on Earth and their souls must somehow guide.
If “God does not understand our prayers,” then He would not fulfill anything—neither your prayers nor Francis’s. And that is not the case, because you ask Him and you receive.
If “God does not understand our prayers,” then you are lying to everyone in your workshops. You are also lying to those for whom you supposedly break karmic crosses with prayers. The only benefit is the money you earn from it.
If “God does not understand our prayers,” then He would not fulfill my prayers in a single moment—because that is how long it takes to rebuild energy and free from cancer.

I ask Him; He hears me, understands me, and I immediately receive an answer.

Every evening we pray with my daughters, inviting God into our home… They themselves remind me, because they say they don’t know how to say it, with what words. Recently they asked, “When God comes, where will He sit—maybe on the edge of our beds?” I said, “If He wants to, He can sit.” And that was a hit for them—that God would want to sit by them on the edge of their beds at night.

The younger daughter is sometimes a little afraid when she wakes up at night. So I explained to her that when you ask God, He will take care of you.

These conversations with children are nice, because they have such a specific way of understanding.

When I once told my daughter that God is powerful and great, she said, “But what if He doesn’t notice me and steps on me, because He is so big and I am so small?”
