27 March 2012 What is Prayer?

What is it? What effect does it have, if any?

What about "when two or more are gathered in prayer" versus praying alone?
Who hears prayer and who answers?

Prayers, our thoughts directed specifically to Heaven - or whatever word is preferred for our real
home - with a request or message, or our thoughts, desires and emotions, all are heard by our
Guardian Angel guides and loved ones, often loved ones we do not "know" in this specific
lifetime on earth; e.g. the grandfather who died before you were born. Anyone else in Heaven
that needs to know, can, BUT our Guardian Angels have pretty much complete authority to
block intrusions if unnecessary. [Those are extremely rare, like pink eagle sightings. "There's no
such thing as a pink eagle" I can hear being said. Well, that goes to show how rare the sightings
are!] We all agreed to this arrangement.

We all agree a life plan before birth; we are not absolutely constrained to follow it BUT when
our prayer might materially alter the plan WE made for ourselves, it's unlikely a request will
work out, or work out quickly. Our plan and wishes are not easily overridden; there is a complex
set of interactions that requires reorganization, in many cases impossible to achieve without
negative effects on our "earthmates" the many "everyones" with whom we've planned to meet
up. There is plenty of flexibility, we also plan that, and shift points are planned to permit course
corrections.

All prayers are heard. Always. Always. When more people are gathered together, the effect is
exactly exponential, exactly as in physics, because physics is simply our emotional energy
expressed. There is no difference between emotion and science; they are the same thing. Twice
the speed requires 4 times the braking distance to stop just as twice the prayer has 4 times the
effect. The effect isn't usually seen on Earth within the time frames we are conditioned to expect
or even ABLE to expect, but in Heaven...it's right now!

Your prayers are answered by the ones listening, to whom they are directed. Even if you don't
know specifically who is the object of the message, the object knows, just as the arrow shot
randomly into the meadow is known by the blades of grass it strikes. The difference is, in
Heaven, those "grass blades" understand and can answer.

We are all watched extremely closely and with limitless love and affection from all those in
Heaven who might come to see us. Heaven is all around, at the higher vibration of our home, to
where we will all return. We are esteemed and admired for attempting a life on Earth, and all
who can observe watch with great pride, interest and curiosity. Your prayers usually catch a
filled amphitheater of attention, and rapt attention is given your every expression. Do not for a
moment doubt that you re a star. The number of souls that exist and can see us is so much larger
than we who are crazy, foolish and brave enough to ride inside our barrels over the many
waterfalls of life.

Never doubt your prayers aren't heard or will not be answered. Your prayer for a new car is no
less valid than a prayer for the life of a relative in danger. Will your life's plan require the car or
is it simply a different tool that plays the part of a tool and nothing more, in a larger and greater
scheme whose objective can be achieved with any of a number of tools? So while your prayer for
one today is heard, the manifestation can be less than instant or not occur if it conflicts materially
with the greater process YOU planned for yourself. Your Guides will respect your wishes and
choices ALWAYS, even when the choice is not remembered and prevails over the smaller
choice of today. Remember, there is no time at home. Before is not a concept to be measured by
minutes, days, weeks, months and years.

There are no value judgments beyond what we ourselves choose to value; we observe the effects
of our actions to evaluate; whatever judgment we take away is ours alone.

What benefit is gained from an experience inures to the participant and what s/he chooses to
value.

"Pray always and often, and ask for a response and a result and be always open and aware of that
which you have said in your prayers, as the response can come when least expected, often at the
instant your Higher Self knows you can best use it."
