We've all heard that "it is done as you beleive." If that's true, then maybe there's something we believe - that we dont KNOW that we beleive - that is "doing it" to us. In this prayer we open to clarity, and an awareness of what beliefs might be hidden. This is from "Realization" - Episode 140 of the Practical Prayer podcast. It was recorded live. A Practical Prayer follows the specific set of steps found in the most effective prayers from spiritual traditions and religions all over the world.

So let's do a practical prayer on what do I believe.

And the other way to look at that is clarity.

How can I have clarity about what's going on in my belief system to make room for me to choose something that I prefer?

Now it's possible that everything in my belief system,

Everything that I believe,

Is serving me wonderfully.

And it's nice to know where it came from and to settle into that goodness and to invite in yes,

Please,

And more.

Overflowing.

And sometimes we can use that to say,

Ah,

This is something I am ready to let go of.

This is something that for whatever reason got in there.

I learned it.

I believed it.

I accepted it.

I've been living by it and I don't need it anymore.

It's time to let go of it.

So that's going to be the prayer today.

As you're comfortable,

I invite you to close your eyes if it's safe to do so.

Go within.

Become aware of that divine power and presence that is within.

And if you're not able to identify that divine power and presence within,

Consider the possibility that there is a divine power and presence within.

One source,

One creator that has created everything.

It's the one in scripture that said,

Let there be light and there is light.

Because it said right before that,

There was darkness and void and God.

And God said,

And God was all there was.

Everything else was darkness and void.

God was there and God said,

Let there be.

And now there is.

And that same story is told in the language of quantum physics is the big bang.

And suddenly there was this enormous field of energy that took millions of years to cool down to the point where it could start creating matter,

Atoms.

And those could evolve and create and unfold and reveal themselves as all of the different elements that we have that can then combine into molecules and then form life and then form us.

It doesn't matter what the story is.

It is the same.

That one is sharing itself,

Expressing itself,

Revealing itself and unfolding itself as every part of its creation.

That's all there is.

And knowing that that is all there is,

I know that that must be what I am.

What each one who is listening to this prayer is.

We are that one taking our own particular form.

And I say particular because all of the particles that make us up,

All of the energy that make us up is that one.

We are that divine presence taking particular form as us right here and right now.

And everything that we're experiencing,

Everything that we're aware of,

Everything that's going on in the outside world and the world within is that one infinite intelligence,

That one divine presence expressing itself.

So that infinite mind,

That divine creative power that knows how to create this entire manifest universe is part of us.

It's within us.

All of that wisdom,

All of that insight,

All of that knowing that's available anywhere is available everywhere.

It's available right now as and for and through each of us.

So I invite an even deeper awareness and clarity of what do I believe?

What is the way in which those beliefs have been bringing about the experiences?

The ones that I love and enjoy and cherish.

The ones that have been challenging or difficult or that I wish to move beyond.

What are those beliefs that I have had?

We don't need to understand where they came from.

We don't necessarily need to understand all of the implications.

Simply the awareness,

The clarity about what I believe and how it's been showing up in my life.

And we can then move on to that next choice point of what do I wish to experience next?

More of what I've been experiencing or in a slightly different flavor,

Different direction or something brand new,

Complete transformation.

And it's all available.

It is all possible.

So I claim that goodness.

I claim that clarity.

I claim that understanding.

And I claim that transformation to what's new on behalf of each one listening now.

That good is underway now.

And I'm so thankful for it.

I'm thankful for the good.

I'm thankful for the willingness of each one to take part in this process,

To consider something new or bigger,

More expansive.

I'm grateful for the courage to go beyond what has been and open to something new.

And open to something new.

And I'm grateful for the awareness of this creative process that has created everything.

I'm grateful to know it's now creating this.

And so with a deep feeling of thanks for all of this good and more still coming,

I speak this word and I release it into that creative law that has created everything.

And know it's now creating this.

And so I let it be.

And so it is.
