No Health Insurance Needed

A mental prayer treatment is a technique of employing the true power of prayer. You undergo this treatment in order to bring about healing of a specific troubling situation. You cause the thoughts of your mind to focus on the Presence of God. The Presence of God is In you. Around you. Everywhere you are. You can liken a mental prayer treatment to going to the hospital for a surgical procedure. At this particular hospital however, no health insurance is required. It is the hospital of your mind. Mental prayer treatment is a surgical operation on your soul. It differs from general prayer which is a visit with God.

General Prayer Versus Mental Prayer Treatment

General prayer can be likened to enjoying fresh air, good food in the right amounts and moderate exercise of your body. They are enjoyed as ends unto themselves. Nevertheless, they also serve a purpose of keeping you in good health.

The objective of a mental prayer treatment is to hone in on a specific desire that you wish to manifest. The basic gist of a mental prayer treatment is to completely remove any thought of what you are lacking from your mind. You can call it a “lackectomy”. During the treatment you do this by placing the focus of your thoughts on the One True Presence, the One True Power – God. When you successfully do this, the healing then commences.

Dual Phase Surgery

Mental prayer surgery consists of two distinct phases — the foundation phase and the affirming phase. The foundation phase can be compared to all the preoperative prep that must be done before the actual operation. The affirming phase of the treatment is the actual surgical procedure.

Give yourself a mental prayer treatment as often as you feel led during the course of the day. At the beginning of your day and at the end of your day are best because you are at your most relaxed. Feel free however to find your own rhythm. If you are a midday napper, just before napping would be a excellent time.

Do your best to refrain doing a treatment when you are tense. Likewise, after a treatment, refrain from going back to mull over the problem or lack. If done in faith, the treatment is assuredly working. Just continue treating and be alert. Ultimately, things will happen for your benefit in direct response to your continued treatment. Seeds planted in fertile soil eventually come to the surface as plants in due course unless you dig them up to see if they are growing.

The Operating Room Must Be Germ Free

Understand that your surgical operating room must be strictly germ free. Just as you would not want to enter an operating room covered in dirt and grime, keep fear and doubt out of your mind during a treatment. Just as dirt and grime would jeopardize a surgery, fear and doubt likewise jeopardize the success of a mental prayer treatment.

Look at it as a scientific mathematical equation. First, the Presence of God, Ultimate Intelligence, is perfection. Second, the Presence of God is with you wherever you are. Third, no lack or problem can possibly co-exist with the Presence of God. Fourth, by your focusing on the Presence of God, right where the problem is, the problem or lack must ultimately disappear.

Phase One – The Foundation

I first learned about the concept of the mental prayer treatment from the writings of the twentieth century author and lecturer, Emmet Fox. This truly is a beautiful method of prayer. As with all methods or techniques of prayer, faith (imaginative belief) is critically important.

Here is an example of the foundation phase of a sample mental prayer treatment:

God is fully present within me right now.
God is the one true Presence, all else is just shadow.
In God I live. In God I breathe. In God I am.
I am free now.
I am free of fear of the past, the present, the future.
The freedom of God is my freedom.
With all my heart, I am thankful.

The above foundation phase can be used with a great variety of accompanying affirming phases. They can be longer. They can be shorter. Use the above example or feel free to construct your own.

Phase Two – The Affirming

The affirming phase of your mental prayer treatment hones in on the specific thing that you desire to treat or heal. It can be geared to your finances, your relationships, your career or avocation, your health or something on behalf of another person or even a beloved pet.

Here is an example of the affirming phase of a surgery to treat your finances:

Prosperity flows to me, within me, around me now.
My faith is the evidence of my plentiful supply of money.
I affirm my financial security.
My inner belief produces my financial good health.
With all that I am, was, or ever will be, I am thankful.

The Mysterious Portal

Beneath your surface consciousness exists something called the subconscious. You are aware of things and events that happen in your surface consciousness. The things you see, hear, feel, smell and taste. Your memories. The laws of nature and science. People with whom you interact. Your emotions.

Beneath all of that surface consciousness however, exists the subconscious. What goes on there is truly inconceivable. What happens in the world of the subconscious has everything to do with what occurs in your surface consciousness, what you term “the real world”.

The subconscious is that mysterious portal connecting you to Divine Intelligence, Wisdom and Power. What a faithful mental prayer treatment does is penetrate beyond that surface consciousness, reaching down into the subconscious and through the portal. This then alters “the real world” for your benefit or for the benefit of a loved one for whom you are giving the treatment.

What Do You Have To Lose?

The mental prayer treatment is an effective method of prayer if done in faith. If you decide to do surgery on yourself, it will cost you nothing in terms of spending your money. It will however cost you some of your time. It will also cost you the familiar comfort of doing the same old routine. Finally, you will also have to give up something else — your fears.

This article puts this information out there for your benefit. It is now totally up to you whether or not you actually use it.

A Question For You

Let me ask you a question.

What do you really have to lose by engaging in a mental prayer treatment?

Let me list some of the things that you have to lose:

Your painful frustration due to stinking failure after failure;

Your beating your head against the wall and then getting the same lousy results;

Your utter exhaustion from running on the treadmill of life and getting nowhere;

Your looking in the mirror at yourself in despair and saying “You suck”.

Give Yourself A Chance

Give yourself a mental prayer treatment regarding something troubling you. Give yourself a chance to be a vehicle for God’s divine power. You really do have it within you or you would not have been led to read this article.

May you always perceive the beauty of the Eternal Peace and Presence of God.

Dominus vobiscum.

Conceive. Believe. Receive.

The Wizard of Oz

According to the United States Library of Congress, the film, “The Wizard Of Oz”, is the most watched film in movie history. It has become an iconic film. Almost everyone knows the story of Dorothy, her dog Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion. And of course, the man behind the curtain, the Wizard of Oz. If you don’t know the story, I cordially invite you to watch the movie. It is delightful. To be concise, I will skip directly to the part of the movie that I wish to discuss.

Dorothy and her companions are successful in obtaining the broomstick of the Wicked Witch. The leader of Emerald City, the Wizard of Oz, had made that a condition of granting the individual wishes of all four. The Wizard resided in an emerald palace. All that was seen of him was a large ghastly face. He spoke in a booming voice. When he spoke, his voice was accompanied by thunder, smoke and fire. It was very impressive and intimidating, inspiring fear in those who heard and saw him.

As Dorothy and companions present the broomstick to the Wizard, in his booming intimidating voice, he brusquely orders them to go away and come back tomorrow. As he is talking, Dorothy’s dog runs over to a curtain that covers a booth. With his teeth, the dog pulls open the curtain. This reveals a man with gray hair, about seventy years old or so, pulling levers and switches and talking into a microphone. The voice of the Wizard tells them to “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”. But the facade has already been torn down. The truth has been exposed. There is no wizard. There is only an elderly gent who was able to fool everybody through crafty subterfuge.

At the end of the movie, it is shown that the things that the four of them desired was already within them. The Wizard turned out to just be another Bernie Madoff.

The Wizards Of This World

In this world that you live in, there are plenty of wizards that have nothing better to do but to control every facet of your life. The control starts as soon as you are born. Yes, your very first controllers are your parents and relatives. That may seem a harsh statement. It really isn’t. They are, of course, the most loving of your controllers. Your lack of ability to care for yourself mandates that they exercise control in order to keep you safe and help you to learn while you grow up to adulthood.

The problem arises with parents who are carrying around their own unresolved issues. The effect of these issues may act to the detriment of the child. It is unnecessary to dwell upon the various errors that parents may make. When parents, either consciously or unconsciously, exercise this type of negative control over a child, it acts as an obstacle to the child developing fully in the joy and beauty of the Kingdom of God within.

Later, come the other wizard controllers – teachers, schoolmates, co-workers, employers, friends, doctors, churches, government leaders and those authorized by said government to protect you, and all forms of mass media, including social media and the internet. To differing degrees, they are all wizard controllers, figuratively directing you to retrieve the wicked witch’s broomstick before you can fulfill your dreams and wishes.

The Mega Billionaires

At the top of the “human controller pyramid” are the mega billionaires. They are the one tenth of one percent of the world’s population that control corporations and the world economy.

Money is a necessary tool of a civilized society. It is used as a uniform means of trade. Money itself is neither good or evil. It is neutral. It is relentlessly used however, for the purpose of control over your life.

Take the case of one particularly nefarious mega billionaire. He cunningly masquerades as a philanthropist while attempting to create a stranglehold on the food seed bank of the world. He holds patents on GMO food seed and constantly touts the benefits of GMO food for humanity while purchasing massive tracts of farmland. It is a classic example of a massive scam. It is a blatant push for greater and greater control over human beings through controlling food supply. Meanwhile, he is hiding “behind the curtain” telling everybody ” I want to help you”.

The mega billionaires use their vast amounts of money to control others to do their bidding (see my blog post of April 15, 2021 regarding the “barbeque speech” of Huey Long). The mega billionaires understand the power of money. Do this and I will give you money to buy stuff. Don’t do what I want you to do and I will take away your money. Unfortunately, the need or desire for money (what money can buy) can lead humans down a hundred and one wrong roads. Roads that travel away from the Kingdom of God.

They Live

Have you ever watched the 1988 film, “They Live”? It is a science fiction horror film written and directed by John Carpenter. And yes, it portrays a world where “human controllers” are everywhere. They have successfully fooled the overwhelming majority of the earth’s population into following the agenda of the controllers.

The film stars Roddy Piper, Keith David and Meg Foster. It has an incredible five and a half minute fight scene between Piper and David. The fight is reminiscent of the classic fight scene between John Wayne and Victor McLaglen in the film “The Quiet Man”. It also features a cult classic quote from Roddy Piper as he brandishes a shotgun at some aliens – “I’ve come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I’m all out of bubblegum”. Watch the film if you get the chance. “They Live” is an entertaining movie with a valuable message.

Here is a quick and dirty synopsis of the film. It has been discovered by “resisters” that signals are sent out through television waves (today it would be cell phone signals). These broadcasts have hypnotised most of the population, keeping them in a subservient, dream-like state. After a resisters group has been raided and destroyed by police, Roddy Piper finds amid the wreckage of the raid, a box of sunglasses. Upon trying on a pair, he is shocked to observe that there are subliminal messages everywhere, directing people to consume, reproduce and conform. These sunglasses also reveal the true faces of the many aliens who now co-mingle with human beings.

At the end part of the film, Piper and two others are successful in infiltrating the main broadcast nerve center of the aliens. They discover a large meeting taking place of the aliens and their human collaborators. They are celebrating another year of control and the successful raid on the resister group. With great difficulty, Piper destroys the main broadcast transmitter. He is killed by guards but not before giving them the finger before he dies. The destruction of the transmitter frees humanity from its controlled state. Humans now have the ability to see all the aliens among them.

In, But Not Of

Jesus Christ stated that those who live in the Kingdom of God within, are in the world but not of the world. Those who have chosen to go within and live in the Kingdom of God are not influenced by the controllers, the man behind the curtain. These souls of course live in the world, eating, working, interacting with others, avoiding crazy drivers on the road, etc. However, they are influenced and controlled by Divine Guidance, coming from the Kingdom of God within. That, and that alone, is their true “North Star”.

The so-called leaders of society, and all facets of mass media and consumerism are not part of who these souls are. Nor is it part of their thoughts, their words, their actions, their beliefs. The Kingdom of God is impenetrable to all the manipulations of the world’s controllers. You are safe within the fortress of the Kingdom of God. The freedom of God is your freedom.

Tell The Controllers To “F**k Off”

The time has now come for every person under the sway of the controllers. The time has come for you to tell the controllers of the world to “f**k off”. You can probably come up with several reasons why you can’t do this. “I have a family to support”. “I need this diploma so I can get a good job”. My spouse will divorce me”. “My kids/friends/relatives will hate me”. “I need the health insurance for my condition”. Everyone will think I am nuts”. “The police will arrest me”. “I need food and a place to live”. And so on.

That is where the man behind the curtain has you by your figurative cajones. Fear. The controllers have used fear for centuries. It keeps people “in line” and under control. Technology is moving forward at exponential speed. The full intention of the controllers is to use the power of fear, coupled with technology, to coerce you to switch from voluntary servitude to involuntary servitude in perpetuity. They will do this under the guise of “helping and protecting you”.

You have the full freedom to choose. Fear or Love. Those are your two choices. Fear or Love. Fear is error. Love is truth. You succumb to fear in order to be safe but the only true safety is in love, which emanates from the Kingdom of God within. Yes, I know, it is hard. But following the Divine Way is the only way to cross the dark chasm and expose the man behind the curtain.

You CAN Do It, But………

In the film, “The Wizard of Oz”, when the Wizard attempted to intimidate Dorothy and her companions to go away, it took Dorothy’s dog to unmask the phoniness of the Wizard’s omnipotence. Just as the dog used God-given animal instinct to reveal the true nature of the Wizard, so you must use your God-given intuition and guidance to discern the true motives of the “one percent” to control you, heart and soul, from birth to death.

You may say, ” Yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard all that stuff before. You just don’t get it. I got six things in my face all at the same time. Things are going on with me. Things are going on with my kids, my spouse. I’m being squeezed, man”.

You CAN follow the very best path, regardless of anything, despite everything, BUT you have to earnestly ask Divine Intelligence to guide you. Read this from the Old Testament from the book of Jeremiah of what your Creator says, “You will seek me and you will find me when you seek me with all of your heart.”

If you honestly desire to understand how to live in freedom and manifest all manner of good things in your life, you can. Seek the Divine within you with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul. As St. Augustine said, “If you really want to see God, you have the means to do so”.

Conscious Manifesting

Every human being that has a mind capable of thinking a thought, engages in manifesting. There are two distinct methods of manifesting things in your life. The first way is by far the most common. It is unconsciously manifesting. Drawing things to you or pushing things away from you without ever perceiving that you are doing so. The second type of manifesting is conscious manifesting. This is when you consciously discipline yourself to focus on the Presence of God and with steadfast belief, live as if the desire is fulfilled.

Both types of manifesting use the same basic ingredients in the creation of outer circumstances. These ingredients are: (1) your thoughts, (2) your words, (3) your actions, (4) your feelings, and (5) your inner beliefs. The difference between the two types, unconscious and conscious, is control. In unconscious manifesting, your circumstances, thoughts, words, and beliefs control you. If you think fear-based thoughts, speak fear-based words, and believe fear-based ideas, then fear-based circumstances will follow, as the night follows the day.

If you make the conscious decision to exercise control over what you think, say and believe, and allow God-based thoughts, words, and beliefs be the focus of your life, no matter what, then, equivalent circumstances will ultimately follow. Going back and forth between love and fear is a classic recipe for frustration. Belief – belief that “it is done, it is complete” – is the gourmet sauce that turns the filet of fish into a gastronomical masterpiece. It is the real deal that guides all your conscious manifesting. It keeps you out of the clutches of the man behind the curtain.
