Slide 26, "Other Prayer Challenges", is about even more challenges with the ways we normally pray.  These are more challenges for the "Worrier" aspect of ourselves.  

Letting God do it:

• When we let God do it, it is done better than we can do it.
• Letting go and letting God is a paradoxical action of non action.

Setting our intentions:

• When we set our intentions we get what we intend.

Experiencing spirit:

• When we become more aware and forgiving we experience spirit.

Learning to grieve:

• When we grieve our losses we heal.

Learning to listen:

• When we really listen we and others heal.

Finding more harmony:

• When we find more harmony we enjoy life more.

The discovery of why our prayers are not answered is a continuing expanding process.  Our recovery results when we take actions based on our Discoveries.  Sometimes the actions are not doing by letting go and letting God as a paradoxical action.

Slide 27, "Other Prayer Challenges", is about even more challenges with the ways we normally pray.  These are more challenges for the "Warrior" aspect of ourselves.

Asking Open Question:

• When we are asking questions with yes and no answers we are just Lawyers leading the witness.
• When we are asking questions with any answer possible we are friends letting the witness be the witness.

Taking 100% Responsibility:

• When we are taking responsiblity we have our power.
• When we are blaming we have no power.

Finding our real desires and fears:

• When we know what we really want we can go towards that.
• When we know what we really do not want we can go aways from that.

Finding God's Dream for us:

• When we find God's Dream for us we find our real dream.
• When we live our nightmare we miss God's Dream for us.

Changing our habits:

• When we change our habits we begin to live a different life.
• When we live our present habits we keep the life we have.

Accepting past intentions:

• We have what we have from our past intentions.
• We will have what we want when we intend to have what we want.

Slide 28, "Other Prayer Challenges", is about even more challenges with the ways we normally pray.  These are more challenges for the "Worker" aspect of ourselves.

Focusing on Reality:

• When we are realizing how we are causing what is happening.

Fully Living:

• When we are really enjoying all of our life.

Doing the 12 steps to God:

• When we are doing the steps that work for us on our recovery road.

Finding our Teacher:

• When we are finding and using teachers that help us to learn.

Transforming our Archetypes:

• When we are transforming aspects of ourselves to higher uses.
• When we are allowing the transformation to take place.

Slide 29, "Questions for each type", is about even more challenges with the ways we normally pray.  

Questions bring out the "quest".

• Questions are a way to get at what is.
• Questions challenge the part of us that knows.

"Joyful" brings out the healthy quest.

It can be fun to divide up into your dominant aspect community and answer these questions in your community. Then pick a spokesperson for your group and they can present your results to the whole community.

• "I am experiencing more joyful security."

• "I am experiencing more joyful success."

• "I am experiencing more joyful service"

• "I am experiencing more joyful sacrifice"

How can you do all of these?

How can you not do all of these?

Slide 30, "More Questions", is about even more challenges with the ways we normally pray.

The idea is to ask relevant questions to get to the heart of the issues.

• Getting answers means being open to any of the answers.
• Getting answers means being ready to act on the answers.

The other side of the coin is to claim relevant truths.

• "I am becoming more protection."
• "I am becoming more peaceful."
• "I am becoming more productive."
• "I am becoming more proactive."

Slide 31, "Effective Prayer for Everyone", is about the bottom lines of my presentation.  This is all you need to take away for now.  My focus is and has been on HOW to improve your life and spiritual walk.  

Forgive Names:

• When we forgive the negative and positive names we use miracles happen.

Affirm and Act:

• When we say what we are and do what we are we get what we want.

Clearing Dreams:

• When we let our nightmares happen at night we can have the life of our dreams in the daytime.

Since we are a whole person, we can use the wisdom of all the types to grow into:

• More Spiritual Health
• More Spiritual Wealth
• More Spiritual Happiness

We can learn more by learning from each of the four basic types.

26 Apr 98

Sunday, a day to go out in the Sun and remember The Son, You.  You are the Son of the Lord Most High, Within.  Learning how that is true for you and everyone else would be a fine thing to do today.  It is not "Where do you want to go today?", but it is "Who do you want to be today?"

Do you want to be the son or the lord most high within or the son of the lord most low within today?  Of course we can experience both of these, it is more a matter of which son within we wish to nourish the growth of.  As we norish the growth of the son of the lord most high within the son of the lord most low within tries to show it is boss.  It is only over time that the lord of the son most low within finds that it is the servant of the lord most high within...

I started my daily page, because it is useful for me to look for some recovery tip or secret each day for my spiritual growth. we and I only need one secret to work on and let it work on me each day.  They are secrets because they are usually the opposite of what the majority of society teaches.  They must be secret because they are not commonly used.  A friend of mine once said "Common Sense is not much in Common.".  Now that I have grandchildren I am also writing for them.  I would have really liked for my grandparents to have passed on what they learned.

I am including Sunday as it is my formal day of learning the lord most high's secrets.  If you would like ask questions, or contribute some of your wisdom, or want to make some comments or want to vote for which day to put on my tip of the month page or tell your success stories, click Michael Foster, M.
