Enlightenment is not an experience at all, because the experiencer is lost. The "I", the ego is lost.Enlightenment is more like an experiencing. It is a process. It begins, but it never ends. You enter it, but you can never possess it. It is a deep merging and melting with Existence. It is a oneness. It is like a drop dropping into the Ocean.

The battle for our lives, and the lives of our children, our husbands, our friends, our families, & our nation, is waged on our knees.

To try to pray is to pray. You can't fail at it. It's the only human endeavor I can think of where trying is doing. Reaching out is holding on. Joining in is letting go.

Praying is not telling God what to do. It__ trusting that God knows what to do.

God wants to bless us in many ways that require faith. We must trust that He is answering our prayers even when we can__ see it.

If you want to determine if your thoughts are from the enemy or from God, ask yourself, 'Are these thoughts I__ choose to have?

Allow yourself to be possessed by God by receiving Jesus, and you will never be possessed by anything else.

The quality of your relationships will determine the quality of your life. And this is something worth praying about.

It__ important that you keep asking God to show you what He wants you to do. If you don__ ask, you won__ know.

The grace of prayer is an act of seeking to communicate with divine power.

Prayerful life, blessed life.

Prayer Against the DarknessShekhinaPray for us now bound with scripture and shielded with shawlArmed with passion and loving carePray for us now against suffering, turmoil, and injusticePray for us now against the chaos of the dark.

God wants us to humbly and sincerely ask him things. How often do you enjoy people talking about you without taking the time to get to know you?

Reflect carefully on this, for it is so important that I can hardly lay too much stress on it. Fix your eyes on the Crucified and nothing else will be of much importance to you.

Work, he tells them one night, is a kind of prayer.

The Path of Love, the path of Bhakti Yoga, is the path of Jesus Christ.Love is not a technique.Love knows no technique, so the path of love has no method or technique. If you bring technique to the path of love, you will destroy love.The whole existence is love, and the birds need no technique to love, trees need no technique to love the mountains need no technique to love. Love only needs that you drop the ego, and drop into your heart. It is just like a rose flower opening. You need not open it, it has the capacity to open already. The capacity is intrinsic, and of it's own accord the rose flower will open - and in the same way the heart opens.The heart needs no technique, the heart needs no training.Jesus says: "God is love". If you can love, it will happen by itself.Jesus path is the way of love, of prayer. It is a deep love for the whole existence.

Meditation is a spiritual human activity like mourning, fasting, or praying, and is not limited to one religious group while remaining unavailable to others. (103)
