Three Christian Modes of Praying
The "power" that is imagination and carries through to manifest possession is called "Christ." Christ is the spirit (consciousness) of God who has become us by annexing (anointing) the brain. It is the "Messiah": God.
The Christian mode of praying is believing that we have what we want. Prayer is not the state of wanting; it is the state of believing: "When you 'want,' what you want . . . you have." Therefore to "pray" is to mentally enter the state of Christ--believing that what is wanted . . . is had.
The question, then, is always "How do we attain to this Christian state of believing that what we desire is had?"
First of all, Christianity is not thinking about Christ; It is DOING Christ, and Christ is imagining according to the Law, the NATURE of God. So praying is bringing OUR imagining in line with the NATURE of God. The nature of God is God; that is why the "laws" of God have power. Our praying has to rise to the state of God.
That is not really so difficult. Remember, we ARE God having forgotten that we ARE God. God is not far away high above us: we are God deep down WITHIN us.
So, how do we Christ? Christ is the Kingdom of God (i.e., nature of), and the Kingdom has to do with ATTITUDES. One such Christian attitude is striking faith in the Standing Orders of God. I dealt with the Standing Orders in January of 2014 (http://imagicworldview.blogspot.com/2014/01/bible-correction-lords-prayer-gods.html).
The deal is that the "Lord's Prayer" is given as the manner in which we are supposed to pray, and the traditional translation from the Latin completely missed the point that is in the Greek: "Thy name (nature) MUST BE BEING HALLOWED; Thy Kingdom (functioning Power and Wisdom in us) MUST BE BEING RESTORED; Thy will (progress toward the predetermined creation) MUST BE BEING DONE." We can adopt the attitude that what we desire MUST BE BEING EXISTENT AND MUST BE BEING POSSESSED.
Another attitude is a bit more mellow: that of faith in the faithfulness of the Manifestation (the Icon that is Christ). I just recently found something that illustrates this sleepy SUBMISSION to Christ: the "dwadling" technique of Burt Goldman (see http://imagicworldview.blogspot.com/2015/04/is-there-healing-in-verbal-dwadles-of.html). But reading, writing and speaking "affirmations" is the same thing; as is standing in a prayer line and raising your hands in anticipation of healing (or whatever) from the laying on of hands or the efficacious words spoken by a minister.
These first two attitudes are not really very different. One boldly steps into the water to walk across on it, the other finds himself quite surprisingly on the other side.
The third way to strike Christ's attitude is to self-hypnotize ourselves into it. This is the way Abdullah taught Neville that we are all trying to master--the Kabbalah. Sit quietly, close your eyes, and come as close as you can to falling asleep: "You are sleepy; very sleeeepy," but stay alert and in control of your mind. Just sit or lie there watching at the Light within your skull, feeling yourself float like a ship at high tide rising off the shore you have been aground on, and then free to sail, you--Christ--CREATE the world you desire by imagining what you want as though it certainly, presently EXISTS and is POSSESSED by you until in your mind it IS, and then fall asleep in that state.
When you awaken, you have what you wanted, for it is created. And in due time, it will come into fruition.
