Return to prayer
I am prone to a particular type of spiritual failing. In trying to synthesize the Universal Field Theory of All Spirituality (UFTAS) I end up really mucking things up. So it might be possible to imagine Reiki, the downward flow from RJ Stewart's Rising Light Below exercise, and Thorn Coyle's triple soul alignment Sacred Dove as the same thing . But in combining them, I lost any spiritual content completely.
It took a short encounter with a new working group to help me realize this. When asked whether my practice was serving my purpose, I did not have a clear answer. So I went back to basics - prayer, being grateful for what Brigid had done for me and asking for the heart of compassion. And my prayer was answered in Brigid's usual direct and highly efficient way. I was simply to imagine every human being I encountered as a 6 year old - whether the real child of the past, the current child inside the man or woman or the child who yet could be. When I did this, my entire perception changed and it became impossible to be judgmental - one of the signs of the heart of compassion at least for me. And when it was working strongest, I sensed Her presence behind my right shoulder as I did 3 years ago.
I'm not sure where this is going yet, but waking up praying is a much better space than pondering UFTAS and for the moment that will be enough.
