This Week’s Quotation:
The prayer that transforms human consciousness is not a hope that God will do something about what we think is wrong. It is not a stale religious utterance. True prayer magnifies the awareness of what is whole–the wholeness of a person and the wholeness of all living things. It invokes the implicate order of being in consciousness.
~ Becoming a Sun, page 186
Wholeness Leads the Way
Prayer, at its core, isn’t about pleading for a fix or asking for life to be different. It’s about tuning in to what’s already whole and alive—in you, in others, and in the world around you.
When we fixate on what’s broken, we can get caught in its heaviness. But when we soften and turn toward the quiet, steady current of life that’s always moving beneath it all, something shifts. We remember we’re part of something vast and enduring.
Prayer helps us see and attune to this deeper reality. It’s like wiping fog from a window so we can notice what’s been there all along. In that space, our perspective opens. We become less reactive, more present. Our chest feels lighter, our mind clearer, and a calm arises that doesn’t hinge on circumstances.
This isn’t about waiting for a miracle to arrive. It’s about letting the innate wisdom of life move through us—shaping how we see, how we feel, and how we show up. And when that happens, the world around us begins to change too.
What does it mean to become a sun?
Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.
This is so beautiful!!!
And so true – “This isn’t about waiting for a miracle to arrive. It’s about letting the innate wisdom of life move through us—shaping how we see, how we feel, and how we show up. And when that happens, the world around us begins to change too.”
Thank you!!!
True prayer certainly isn’t an effort to process a personal wish list that I imagine will make me happy. It is simply the flow of the Attunement current of Love and blessing to my world. Thanks, Lana, for beautifully acknowledging this.
