Judgment of the living and the dead in one’s own prayer

One of the prayer techniques I have had the opportunity to try is similar to the “Judgment of the living and the dead” mentioned in the Bible. The context of Judgment described in Scripture appears to me as some terrifying event, where in the city of Jerusalem all the deceased gather and rise from their graves for the Last Judgment. This vision has been depicted many times in a very vivid way.

However, after working with prayer for quite a long time, I can now suggest that this is not about those deceased people in Jerusalem.

The “Judgment of the living and the dead” concerns solely the personal reckoning of each Soul with its past, with its previous earthly incarnations. These are the incarnations of the Soul—not yours—which you should understand.

In this context, prayer for the previous earthly avatars of the Soul becomes a kind of final judgment over it and over the consequences of its choices and actions.

What does this look like in practice? Let my own prayer regarding past prostitution serve as an example:

“I now forgive myself for having once practiced sacred prostitution. I now forgive myself for having incarnated among peoples where temple prostitution was considered normal and obligatory for every respectable woman. I now forgive all those who ever condemned me and punished me for engaging in sex for money. I now forgive all those who first encouraged me and then condemned and punished me for prostitution, for engaging in sex for money. I accept that after many incarnations, engaging in sex for money became condemned and criticized by the very priests and societies that had once praised it…”

Similarly, I wrote a prayer that freed me from the karma and past of being a general–condottiere. I prayed for quite a long time in both cases. Regarding the general, I had a psychological low for about half a year, thinking that I had been such a figure.

However, the truth is different. It was not I who was an officer or a prostitute, but the previous avatars of my Soul. Likewise, you can say about yourself: it is not I who feel guilt, but my Soul for some past actions. I can, however, ask for the release of my Soul from that past.

When prayer concerns a particular karmic entanglement, it refers not to your actions, but to those of your Soul and its past avatars who have long since died. Therefore, you should not fall into despair or judge yourself as if you personally committed those acts, nor stand in penance before others or before God for deeds that were not yours.

Karmic prayer, to be effective, should include both the Soul and its previous earthly incarnations. In this way it becomes something natural—“a judgment over oneself, the living, and the long-deceased personalities of one’s Soul.”

• “Judgment of the living” – personal prayer for yourself.
• “Judgment of the dead” – personal prayer for your Soul, forgiving its past, deceased incarnations (avatars) for their faults.

Thus, the “Judgment of the living and the dead” is nothing other than a comprehensive prayer encompassing your entire being—yourself, your Soul, and its previously hidden karmic past.

Example of such a prayer:

“I have given to God all foreign thrones upon which my Soul and its earthly avatars ruled and sat.
I have given to God all the wars for thrones of my Soul and its earthly avatars, along with the consequences of those wars.”

I, Sławek, have never sat on any throne—but the previous avatars of my Soul did.
