Do prayers work? — YouTube from the CEC Library

Prayer was created as a means of establishing inner peace. When we pray, we often feel a connection with God or call upon the saint of our devotion. This practice is an emotional predisposition that makes us believe that things will get better. However, in terms of spiritual growth, merely repeating prayers does not bring significant changes, because it is something we have been doing for centuries without effective transformation. Prayer can give us a sense of peace, but it is an illusory peace: monotonous repetition leads us into a state of trance.

For example, when we watch a priest praying, we notice that the repetition of the "Our Father" leads us into a process of hypnosis. However, for prayer to really work, a genuine relationship with spirituality is necessary. When we interact with our spiritual helpers, prayer gains meaning. When starting a piece of work involving the laying on of hands, we can ask our helpers for guidance and intuition, and that really can bring effective results.

It is essential to see what is real in order to produce results. We can communicate with our helpers at any time, asking for strength. If they are nearby, they will hear us, and we will notice that things happen. This continuous consciousness is important. It means leaving the body without losing consciousness, although there is often a lapse.
