"Stillness is the greatest revelation." - Taoist proverb
From Nona L. Brooks "The Prayer That Never Fails" ..."Scientific
prayer is affirming with lips and life, fundamental realities,
until we establish the attitude of unwavering faith in Life, the
abundant life; in Health, persistent wholeness of body; in
Supply, unlimited supply for every need; in Companionship,
unchanging love within one's self and in others for one's self.
The most powerful prayer is the established attitude, for then
one's every thought and feeling embodies such certainty of good
and such assuredness that - it is so. The established attitude
is the prayer that never fails."
I
was called upon to do healing work for an individual that I have
not seen in more than a couple of decades. Even back then, I was
barely acquainted with this individual, but the person who
requested my services seemed so sincere that I accepted the
call. Now, before I or any professional in the healing arts
works with someone, that person must personally request the
service. This interview with the client is always brief as I do
my work in absentia and the less I know of the issue to be
addressed, the better. In other words, I don't need to know what
is wrong. I only need to know what aspect of their life they
desire a greater, more joyful experience from, be it their
health, their financial situation, or relationship
issue. The Intelligence that heals is all-knowing. Our work is
the ask knowing that it is given, no matter what the condition
the client may find themselves in. Anyone called to healing work
must have this established attitude that Nona Brooks refers to.
This
particular individual did not take more than a breath after my
introduction to make some very negative comments about someone
that we both knew. Someone I knew far better than him and
someone that I was close to and respected. This felt like being
on a row boat and someone grabs your oar and throws it in
the water and you know you were the only one that was rowing. It
was a very disruptive feeling at a time when such a thing was
unnecessary and certainly did not pertain to the healing work at
hand. I prayed for my mind to be silent, and stillness resulted.
The situation was a challenge to my established attitude that
prayer, that is scientific prayer, would be effective in this
case.
At all times, we must know to the degree that is possible for
us, that an all powerful and loving Intelligence is around and
within us. When in doubt, or if fear attempts to take hold of
our mind, we must retreat to the silence and know that nothing
and no thing is more powerful than this omnipotent, omniscient,
omnipresent Intelligence that is within us, above us, below us,
and pressing against us. It is, therefore I am established in
the attitude that my prayer never fails. Please don't fail your
prayers by speaking about those things that hold you in bondage
to the very thing that contradicts this Intelligence.
Keep the Faith!
