Prayer - the meeting of our soul with the cosmic Spirit and of our spirit with the universal Soul
Initiatic Science sees prayer as the meeting of our soul with the cosmic Spirit and of our spirit with the universal Soul. It is this meeting that gives our prayer its power. Anyone who thinks prayer is about addressing their demands to the Lord, as in 'I need money, I need a house... I want to get married... Get rid of my enemies', is not only unlikely to have their prayers answered but, more importantly, will never discover the true dimensions of their deeper being. The meaning of prayer, as of all spiritual exercise, is to bring about the meeting between something in us and an entity in the universe that's of the same nature but complementary to it. This results in a kind of crossover, which is religion's greatest secret: the (feminine) human soul seeks the (masculine) divine Spirit and the (masculine) human spirit seeks the (feminine) universal Soul. Our soul is fertilized by the cosmic Spirit, and our spirit fertilizes the universal Soul. It is due to this crossover that we become creators in the spiritual world; this is what prayer really is.
