The subliminal mind receives and remembers all those touches that delight the soul. Our soul takes joy in this right touching by the Essence of all experience. – Sri Aurobindo
When you move into your prayer life, into those moments of private time with the Spirit, that is when you contact the fulfilling Presence within you. Often times you think you are going to God to change some condition in your life, to fulfill some material desire or need. What you really are to God for is to capture a sense of spiritual fulfillment. When you truly tabernacle with the Spirit, the desire for anything less falls away.
Even when your intention in speaking your word is to manifest something material, if you touch the sacred Presence through Divine communion, you forget any external desire that first drew you into prayer! This is what is meant by right touching. As you reach within to touch consciousness, the Divine reciprocates by corresponding, by touching you with the hand of Divine Grace.
This makes it obvious why you would want to add to your spiritual discipline moments of agendaless prayer. In other words, there are times when you sit and just love God and that God means to you. Having no other purpose than to be consumed by the Divine Energy of your prayer, you touch Spirit’s vulnerability and experience the truth in scripture which says, “While they are yet praying I have already answered.”
Agendaless prayer will transcend the surface tension of separation and let you become aware that it is God’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. You have now placed yourself in a position of receptivity; you have become gracious enough to accept the gift.
Today, set aside time that belongs only to you and God. Experiment with agendaless prayer in the laboratory of you consciousness and discover Spirit’s personal love for you that is so great It personalized Itself as you very life.
I appreciate my Divinity and use it to manifest my soul’s desire to realize my oneness with the Infinite. My heart opens to the Divine, Transforming Touch of the Godhead.
