Affirmation is the core of prayer practice as taught by Jesus. In this understanding of prayer, Jesus raised us from being mere beggers, asking for things of the physical world from a God "out there." Instead, he united us with our Source--our Father--reminding us that we are sons and daughers of the very essence of all that is, that we have direct and constant acces to all we will ever need.
In this book, Charles and Cora Fillmore break down the practice of prayer for us, expose its components, and show us how to tap into a level of consciousness that will ultimately go beyond beseeching, even beyond affirming, to being in the Christ consciousness.
In learning how to pray, we learn the importance of communicating with God through practicing affirmations and by entering the silence. Through these and other techniques, including six-day prayer treatments, we arrive at ultimate communion with our Source.
He helps readers establish a strong thought foundation for real divine selves of us. He explains the prayers with theological and psychiatric subjects. The book also has got q/a section. After reading and understanding the book, the reader could affirm prayers before going to bed and after having woken up.
HIGHLIGHTS: 1. It is through this process of unfolding love that great souls are developed.
2. The reason why love is essential in a great soul is that love is the binding power.
3. HEALTH: Some of our best doctors say 80% of humanity’s ills would heal themselves if left alone. Don’t eat unless you are hungry. Many of our ills are caused by the greedy appetite that, it being satiated, clogs the body with surplus fuel.
4. The fact is that love is fundamental in every activity of life, not only in the spiritual and mental but in the mechanical and physical as well.
5. Souls are not created great but with the capacity to become great.
6. Tithing is one of the founding principles of financial success.
7. GOD: Take god as your partner in your daily giving. It is very comforting to know that there is a spirit co-operating with us in our efforts to manifest God’s law.
8. Fear is a habit; governed by repeated thoughts, words, and experiences.
9. SILENCE: Go into silence daily at a stated time and concentrate on the substance of spirit prepared for you from the foundation of His world. You will thus open up a current of thought that will bring prosperity into your affairs.
10. Five senses and 2 more: invitation and telepathy.
As a Gnostic Christian I found the theology behind Charles views to be clear and well thought about. I highlighted numerous sections to go back and research.
