Rampa gives a lecture in what PRAYER IS - HOW IT WORKSFor a moment I was silent, taken aback by the request. "Yes," I said, "I will teach you to pray, as I was taught.
"All religions believe in the power of prayer, but few people understand the mechanics of the process, few understand why prayers work for some and seemingly not for others. Most Westerners believe that people of the East either pray to a graven image or do not pray at all. Both statements are untrue, and I am going to tell you now how you can remove prayer from the realm of mysticism and superstition and use it to help others, for prayer is a very real thing indeed. It is one of the greatest forces on this Earth when used as it was intended to be used.
"Most religions have a belief that each person has a Guardian Angel or someone who looks after him. That also is true, but the Guardian Angel is oneself, the other self, the other self, which is at the other side of life. Very, very few people can see this angel, this Guardian of theirs, while they are on the Earth, but those who can are able to describe it in detail.
NOTE THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH REFERS TO THE HIGHER SELF: http://montalk.net/about/212/glossary#higher_self"This Guardian (we must call it something, so let us call it a Guardian) has not a material body such as we have on Earth. It appears to be ghostly; sometimes a clairvoyant will see it as a blue scintillating figure larger than life - size and connected to the flesh body by what is known as the Silver Cord, that Cord which pulses and glistens with life as it conveys messages from one to the other. This Guardian has not a body such as that of Earth, but it is still able to do things which the Earth body can do, with the addition that it can do very many more things which the Earth body cannot. For example, the Guardian can go to any part of the world in a flash. It is the Guardian which does astral travelling and relays back to the body through the Silver Cord that which is needed.
"When you pray, you pray to yourself, to your other self, to your Greater Self. If we knew properly how to pray we should send those prayers through the Silver Cord, because the telephone line we use is a very faulty sort of instrument indeed, and we have to repeat ourselves in order to make sure that the message gets through. So when you pray, speak as you would speak through a very long distance telephone line, speak with absolute clarity, and actually think of what you are saying. The fault, I should add, lies with us here on this world, lies with the imperfect body we have on this world, the fault is not in our Guardian. Pray in simple language making sure that your requests are always positive and never negative.
NOTE: YOU ONLY HAVE TO DO THIS ONCE IF YOU ARE VERY SKILLED AND KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOUR REQUEST VERY CLEAR – REPEATING IT IS JUST BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE IS VERY SKILLED IN COMMUNICATING WITH THEIR SUBCONSCIOUS (WHICH THEN IS RELAYED TO HIGHER SELF ETC.) KEEP A CLEAR MIND WHEN DOING THIS SO NOTHING BUT THE PURE MESSAGE IS RECEIVED. USE Q-MM (FROM THE BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE) BEFORE PRAYING AND YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE A FUCKLOAD MORE EFFECTIVE. REMEMBER THAT THE SUBCONSCIOUS TAKES EVERYTHING LITERALLY AND YOU NEED TO BE LIKE A PROGRAMMER AND GIVE VERY EXACT INSTRUCTION TO IT OR IT WILL GET THE WRONG MESSAGE. MORE ON THAT IS DESCRIBED BY LOBSANG RAMPA AND OTHERS… (want me to get more notes on this specific subject as well?)"Having framed your prayer to be absolutely positive and to be absolutely clear of any possibility of misunderstanding, repeat that prayer perhaps three times. Let us take an example; suppose, for instance, that you have a person who is ill and suffering, and you want to do something about it - you should pray for the relief of that person's suffering. You should pray three times saying exactly the same thing each time. You should visualize that shadowy figure, that insubstantial figure, actually going to the house of the other person, following the route which you would follow yourself, entering the house and laying hands on that person and so effecting a cure. I will return to this particular theme in a moment, but first let me say - repeat that as many times as are necessary, and, if you really believe, then there will be an improvement.
NOTE THE ABOVE WORKS BY SERVITORS, ASTRAL TRAVEL, OR YOU CAN GO VISIT THE PERSON IN PERSON. (I have fuckloads more notes on these subjects too, but maybe you should just read all of /fringe/ and read them books in the sticky)"This matter of a complete cure; well, if a person has a leg amputated, no amount of prayer will replace that leg. But if a person has cancer or any other grave disease, then that can be halted. Obviously the less the seriousness of the complaint, the easier it is to effect a cure. Everyone knows of the records of miracle cures throughout the history of the world. Lourdes and many other places are famed for their cures, and these cures are effected by the other self, by the Guardian of the person concerned in association with the fame of the locality. Lourdes, for example, is known throughout the world as a place for miracle cures so people go there utterly confident that they will be cured, and very often that confidence is passed on to the Guardian of the person and so a cure is effected very, very easily. Some people like to think that there is a saint or angel, or some ancient relic of a saint, that does the cure, but in reality each person cures himself and if a healer gets in touch with a person with the intention of curing that sick person, then a cure is effected only through the Guardian of that sick person. It all comes down, as I told you before, to yourself, the real self which you are when you leave this, the shadow life, and enter the Greater Reality. While upon Earth we all tend to think that this is the only thing that matters, but Earth, this world - - - no, this is the World of Illusion, the world of hardship, where we come to learn lessons not so easily learned in the kinder, more generous world to which we return.
NOTE WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THE MISSING LIMBS IS –COMPLETE BULLSHIT– YOU CAN IN FACT GROW BACK A LOST LIMB AND THIS HAS BEEN DONE MANY TIMES BEFORE. ANOTHER THING TO NOTE IS THAT SINCE WE LIVE IN A SYNCHRONIZED CONSENSUS REALITY IF YOU ARE WANTING TO HEAL ANOTHER PERSON THEN YOU NEED TO OVERCOME THEIR WILL NOT TO BE HEALED, WHICH WILL TAKE YOU MORE LOOSH ENERGY, BUT IT CAN BE DONE. SCEPDICKAL MUNDANES BELIEVE THEY CAN'T BE HEALED AND THE FORCE OF THEIR OWN BELIEF PERPETUATES THAT REALITY FOR THEM, YOU JUST GOT TO OVERCOME THEIR SCEPDICKISM WITH MORE INTENSE FAITH, FOCUS, ETC.
