16. MANIFESTING BY PRAYER & MIRROR
PRAYER TECHNIQUES
A Japanese Buddhist Technique
Here's a manifesting technique I encountered during my college days. It is promulgated by a Japanese Buddhist sect. For some money, maybe about fifty or sixty dollars, you get a scroll produced by the mother temple in Japan. You also are required to buy or to make a sort of tabernacle enclosure in which to keep the scroll. And, then, you chant repetitively twice daily for perhaps twenty minutes before this tabernacle and the scroll, the words as best I remember: "Rung Chung Po." You do this twice daily, morning and evening, until what you are seeking to manifest comes about.
I've heard testimonies presented by several of the members of the Buddhist group at their open meetings. One fellow said that as a Christian he had never been able to manifest anything. But, now, as a member of this sect, all sorts of material things were flowing his way. An astute attendee at this meeting asked, "Did you ever pray repetitively as a Christian, before a picture of Christ or of the Blessed Virgin?" This fellow giving testimony reluctantly admitted that he had not.
If you would like to try this technique, you might use a significant mantra from your own path. Catholics could say the rosary. If you are Jewish, you might recite the Shema: "Hear Oh Israel, the Lord, our God is One" or just recite one of the many names of God from the Torah. I am certain that similar phrases and Power Names exist in all religions. An atheist might chant: "Bountiful Universe, bring [whatever] to me." My own opinion is that any of the manifesting techniques I’ve suggested in these lessons will work within any religious or spiritual framework. So having dispensed with this technique used by that Japanese Buddhist sect, we'll move on.
Manifesting By Prayer List
An effective technique used by many Christians, but a technique which works equally as well in any of the other religious dispensations, is the Prayer List technique. What you do is list all the things you want to manifest in your life, and you in prayer ask for these things to come about. Normally the prayer is said once or twice a day. As time goes by and as what you want is manifested, you, in prayer, not only ask for what you have remaining on the list and not crossed out, but you must also express gratitude for those things that have manifested and already come into your life.
Again, however, visualization of each thing on your list is required. You need to write down a manifesting list–a list of all those wonderful things that you want to come into your life. Once or twice daily, in your meditation chair or kneeling (or whatever position works for you) you say a prayer asking for those things on your list to come to you–and expressing gratitude for those things that have already manifested from your list..
Now some teachers say you should only ask once–saying that repetition tends to suggest to the inner self that you don't really believe that you are going to get whatever you are asking for. Others say you should continue asking daily, their point being that, for a confused inner child, the repetition tends to assure the subconscious that you really do want what you are asking for.
You can use this form of prayer:
<DIR> <DIR>
In the NAME, through the POWER and by the WORD of [your power name] I call for [your list of wants] to manifest in my life. And I thank [your power source] that whatever I ask for, is granted and I thank my [power source] that I have received already [whatever you have already manifested]. AMEN.
</DIR></DIR>
The Gratitude Prayer
One teacher I had, has advocated the "Gratitude Prayer." This technique uses the concept of thanking the Higher Power even before the object or whatever has manifested. She said that this really made the angels scurry to bring into your life whatever it was that you were thanking the Higher Source for. Another way of putting this: The Universe cannot accept a difference, a discontinuity between your perceptions and what is reality. So, if you are firmly convinced, have a high acceptance and confidence level, and you feel certain that something you are asking for is already yours, it has to flow to you.
THE MIRROR TECHNIQUE
The mirror technique is very similar in its visualization process to the visualization process we learned last week in conjunction with the Flipping Technique. In the Mirror Technique, you place a mirror in front of you. You look into the mirror and see the mirror reflecting yourself and your surroundings. Using the visualizing process, you transfer the present image from the mirror to your inner mental screen. Then, you erase that inner screen of its present contents and see only a pure white screen. Some call this white screen "the cloak of the gods." Then you quickly "project" on that screen what it is that you want to manifest. That is, you see yourself as sitting in that same chair, but now with a gold bullion bar in your hands, or the keys to the new Rolls Royce or whatever is appropriate.
This is a good way to manifest weight loss (or other improvements to your health). You see yourself in the mirror as you are now, then you implant that image on your mind’s inner screen. Then you change the mental image to a white screen, then you see an image in your mind of yourself as you want to be. If you need some help in visualizing, get an old picture of Charles Atlas or Marilyn Monroe (or any picture that shows your body the way you want it to be) and paste a photograph of your own head on that picture. Females may use Marilyn Monroe and males may use Charles Atlas–but don't mix that up or Heaven knows what you'll manifest for your body.
The Time Continuum
As I understand this mirror technique, it involves altering the time continuum–as apparently all manifesting techniques likewise do. As the scientific explanations would burden us with a lot of scientific jargon, I will describe time as a huge tapestry. The time past consists of the multiplicity of separate threads already woven and laid down on the tapestry of time, one or more for each moment. As a matter of practicality, we can think of, and some scientific thinkers do hold that, time is really composed of separate and distinct minute discrete fractions of micro-micro-seconds. As time progresses, it is as
though a tapestry is being woven and each moment in time, as time progresses, lays down the next thread or set of threads. Another way to think of this is that each of these micro-micro intervals is like a separate frame on a motion picture film. And, it is in the interstices–the spaces between each time frame moment, between each moment of time that things can be changed or altered.
So, if you are using a manifesting technique, you are really attempting to push the change into the intervals between actualities. Or, rather you are trying to splice the frame which is your visualizing picture into the strip of film. Using the thread analogy, if we see each moment of time successively as a new thread laid down on the tapestry of time, we want to cause our changes, insert our own manifesting thread, so that the next set of threads laid down is changed just a tiny bit by the change we want. We sort of want to squeeze our visualized thread into the space just before the next thread comes down. The secret to effecting this change, to splicing into the time continuum, involves our breathing technique while being in a meditative stage. We focus on what this next thread we are inserting will look like (or our tiny part of it) before it pops into place. If we hit it just right, the time continuum will be changed even as we visualize it. And, then, "pop" there’s our pot of gold in front of us.
