The famous (and once practiced) 'Day of Rest' ... the 'Lord's Day'; and safely, a 'Day of Prayer'.
I have spoken of the translations, interpretations, and versions. I have researched, that which has been employed as 'meaning' (?) by the religious sects. I have done so, in order to look profoundly (as man) into that which I know to be in contradiction to the True and Real Nature of Being beyond this garment I have been endowed with here.
Today, here, within the infinite and non-existent walls* of Gregg's Place; I am greatly drawn to ponder upon man's definitions regarding 'prayer'. Obviously, most of these rain down through the commands, laws, and warnings, of the religious sects. A very human and physical reality which troubles me greatly.
* Walls?
For those visiting, who sincerely require 'walls': I would need to refer you to that which you know to be defined as 'physical'; and further, or more specifically 'body'. However, I would sincerely hope that - you will find a time when you can step-out and look back into the Structure you, as man are. These 'walls' have become, through teaching and preaching, barriers to knowing the Reality and Truth of the full nature of 'Being' ... and 'man's part' within.
"Troubles me greatly!" ? Yes! Someone has uttered silently "Why?" ...
Because, the true meaning of 'Prayer' falls into little known concepts; and exists not within the traditional in which: for thousands of years, generation upon generation have been led to believe is what a Divine and Loving (God, god) Parent would so ask from their Children born by Them into Life ... through Their Creation.
I guess tradition speaks around traditional prefabricated concepts of the nature of 'their gods' (small or Capital 'G'); which I know to be a visible contradiction to the very same characteristics these same religious sects have comfortably and cunningly (?) sewn into them (God, gods). In brief, let's take a glimpse: all I have to do is pray? Confess my repetitious 'sins'? Show-up at church on Sundays (OK, we have fallen to certain Sundays to save my little soul)? And donate $ / € (or some other currency) for the administration's needs. Ok! That's comfortable! But is it Divine Wisdom? Intelligence? Something that builds Strong and Loving Physical and Spiritual Family Relations? Am I really doing my part within the One Plan? And the like ...
Answer: Nope!!! Spirituality on the ground level: witches and God's heroes burned at the stake ... a man called Jesus (Home to Creator's Child) tortured and murdered on a wooden cross. The latter, constructed by whom? And God? His Child? Oh we all know the answer to that: shipped-off into the untouchable heavens; third floor over hell, and paradise (which as I mentioned were finally - by the Vatican's last leader - admitted to be virtually and Spiritually non-existent places. Finally defined: as being levels within Spirituality's Nature.
I attempted, via upper-echelon offices within the United Nations to challenge the "God, gods" promulgated within the 'Church' (Catholic - because I was without my consensus lovingly baptized into this organizational structure as a newborn. Catholic elementary and high schools, Jesuit College - and into the Reality of a Truth that no one within the very cement-like walls had ever mentioned to me) as being a Reality... or a Fictitiously Well Guarded Phenomenon written into the books by 'mere men' seeking (as historically documented) power over the 'Children' ... and obviously there earnings. No response from the UN! No response form the Vatican! Their Press Office! ... or any other major news media which received copies. No problem! Silence is golden - in fact it shines brilliantly with 'Truth' in times like these.
Have you ever contemplated upon the duplicity we have been (and still are) trapped into? I am talking about the 'Doctrines and Dogmas' ... which contradict in real human life ... the Spiritual and Almighty Who they are written to supposedly support on earth. I have! And, I know that their 'God / god' is not the 'Who', Who counts on us to put things right here. Blasphemy? Nope again! Why not? Because, I resigned (still trying to get confirmation under my Privacy Rights) from the Organization known as the Catholic Church or Religious Sect, that's why. I can't be accused of blaspheming an 'entity' which has no conformity with the One Creator (...by any Name); for this 'entity' is not my God. Therefore, I have not blasphemed 'God' ... I have only called the cards on the 'whom' this sect has publicized to be their 'God / god'. I know the Love I share with My Creator ... Who does not ask of me the 'titles' preached by the 'much too human' religious sects.
Who is the One Fountain of All Being (Spiritual and Physical) I speak about? I prefer to speak with you about this Artist and Sculptor during a future visit. Instead I would like to return to Truth in defining 'Prayer': the doing of that which we are respectfully responsible for to ourselves and others. In other words: 'Action' speaks louder than words being repeated over and over again without physical contribution and involvement in accomplishment of the Maintenance of This Garden and Its Inhabitants ... Its Environments ... Its Evolutions. Truth is: the religious sects have turned their 'God / gods' into domestics and care takers called comfortably upon through 'traditional uttering defined as prayer', to give us what we want; the later, most times limited strictly to our own personal needs and desires. Give me (and Our Creator) an almighty break! Who the heck (don't want to use a word that might misguide some one's thoughts) created man's comfortable lifestyle where Mom and/or Dad, in this case Our Creator, does all the work involved in serving 'almighty us'?
In the First Place: the One Family is in fact United Here ... and not in the religious twilight zones and beyond! In the second place: Spiritual Being(s) are not so far-off in left field with regards to our pure natures and their characteristics! And, in the third place: We have been given All that is needed to participate within the One family's Chores; and we have a responsibility, both at Spiritual and Physical Levels, to do so. Religion has given us to their 'praying' and 'paying'; while the proverbial administrators wine and dine: Someone (too often a Small Child) within Our United Family dies of thirst and starvation just about every minute or so. And they (the religious prophets) say: "Pray!" ... you are commanded by 'our god' to do so! My Creator, and One Parent, at the Spiritual Level says: Feed My Children ... Your Brothers and Sisters who are fading from this Physical Realm ... or hold your requests in silence; for I desire not to hear them more. And how much of the 'Follower's Donations' went, not to feed these Children of Creation; but instead to keep silent those Children who fell Victim to Holy Abuse "In the Name of their god!"? While from their 'pulpits' and 'places' above the Children, dressed in long and fancy garments as in medieval times, continues to be spewed-out the empty words "Let us do nothing but pray!".
Prayer? Not their definition or concept! But Truthfully instead, the being involved in Life's Responsibilities within the Physical Experience which we have been Gifted as a Spiritual Being. We have no right as 'mere man' to not be Life's Gardeners and Caretakers; for we are Life's Children. Note: 'Trinity' is not so secret! Its comprehension is possible ...
I sincerely thank you for visiting with me here at Gregg's Place...
