Some people pray, some people meditate, some people beg or curse.. but we all talk to God/Fate in one way, or at one time or another. What’s amusing to me is when I “pray” I do it the way I was taught in church, as a supplicant begging for assistance from a higher power in charge.
They call this “coming before God humble” and I’ve always hated it. Is it my pride (the religious would say yes) or is it that I’ve never viewed God/Fate like a ruler but more like a father. JUST like they taught me to in the early days of going to church. You know.. the “Jesus loves you, this I know” song days. Where God is a father.. and well, my father loved me! So of course, so did God and Jesus. So why WOULDN’T they give me what I asked for. Why would I have to be humble and beg when I prayed.
As I matured, when I talked to God it was more like talking to a buddy over a Birthday Present wish list. “Please God, I really, really want that raise, or this guy, or to make this green light!”
Now a days, its like talking to a partner and I do it through meditation. Because I firmly believe in seeing and grabbing the opportunities that God/Fate bring my way. Because NOT to, is just plain idiotic. This is God’s opportunity or lesson and who am I to turn away from that!
So in the mornings I meditate on my triangle of desires with plans and needs and ideas. I was explaining this to someone when I smiled as I realized an amazing fact.
God is like my Ex or my Kids.
Happy to do whatever I want… as long as I explain it in great detail (preferably writing it down in a list), walk them through exactly HOW to do it (make that list very, very specific, preferably with me doing half the work as an “example”) and supervise them through it with careful observations.
In other words.. (smirks fate) …just do it yourself, it’s a whole hell of a lot faster! See, ya already got all the tools ya need.
uh, thanks?
