Practices, spiritual - on what conditions they open us up to celestial currents

06/30/2016

Prayers, fasting, ablutions, etc. The function of all the practices prescribed by religions the world over, is to prepare people to receive heaven’s influences and messages correctly. But the essential thing is not the practices themselves, it is the determination to purify themselves: to improve their thoughts, feelings and actions. Anyone who has not decided to carry out this work would do better to leave spiritual practices alone, for they would otherwise be a danger to themselves and to others. Unless they have rid themselves of certain prejudices and bias, nothing is more dangerous than spiritual practices. They create the delusion of a righteous being, a spokesperson, an instrument of heaven. As a result of this, we have seen some become torturers of their family, even of their people. Only those who have practised disinterestedness and love of others are able to perceive and transmit messages from the divine world.
