Absolute
basics of prayer. I'm using the word prayer as an all encompassing word. Because, it
is an all encompassing process to however you define the God/Divine.
1): Prayer is essentially you speaking. Just like when you verbally
speak to any other human person. The understanding of prayer is that
simple. The respect and honor when speaking to any authority is very
similar.
2): Meditation is essentially you listening. Just like you
do when you are intentionally paying attention to any other person who
you are supposed to be listening to. The respect and honor when
listening to any authority is very similar.
3): Contemplation is
that quiet time spent trying to understand what the authority has spoken
to you. Again when any person or being in authority has given you
words. Your focused intention and attention to those words is respectful
and honorable.
4): Taking Action is that very real action you take
in your whole life in respectful honor of God/Divine. This is done in
your private and professional life. This is done from within your
physical actions, mental thoughts and spiritual existence.
So,
basically we all already know how to pray and meditate. You just have
to begin to apply the time in a quality environment. The quality
environment is often times defined by God/Divine. You must remember we
are not the authority persons. We are the children of God/divine and
currently have not earned the right to speak with authority unless back
up by God/Divine in some action pushed upon you by God/Divine.
Yes, there are levels in prayer and meditation. This post is only about the absolute fundamentals/basics. C.J.MacKechnie
