Meditation and prayer keeps us focused on true need by dissolving all those mental constructs that stand in the way of our peace of mind. Meditation also helps us to live consciously, to dissolve our unconscious filters through which we see the world and allows us to see and create the world as it really is in every new moment. We create a mass consciousness of peace and acceptance. The more this happens, the closer we all get to touching the cosmic mind. So that, the more harmony in our lives, the more we add to the holy spirit we all share.
Thoughts are like guitar strings.
When a string is plucked loudly enough, all surrounding strings that are of that key will also vibrate. Such are thoughts. When we resonate at a level, we wake that vibration up in others. It is our duty to see that so that we are aware of how we affect others, whether the intent is there or not. So, the more peace within, the more peace everywhere in the cosmos.
