The Prayer. Yeyazel

       I live in a very small house, but my windows look out on a very large world.

       Confucius

      The purpose of this book is simple, it illustrates a means, the most powerful and effective, to change in any area of own life, to change any situation and to achieve whatever goal which we have set ourselves.

      This is in the context of human relations, as well as in the family, at work and economic and social life, in all the fields of action of our human being.

      This means is something that everyone knows, and it is a patrimony of the whole of humanity, no one excluded, but, strangely enough, almost all people do not use it.

      That most powerful instrument at our disposal is the prayer, which is that kind of communion between us mortal beings and the Kingdom of the Divine, and this has been since the dawn of time.

      We, poor human beings, abandoned to external forces which we are afraid and which we cannot tame.

      We, tiny creatures in the immensity of space, or universe, infinite, tiny grains of sand at the mercy of the whim of fate.

      Who of us, looking at a starry sky in a clear nigh, hasn’t felt this sense of absolute tiny size and weakness in front of such a vast cosmos?

      Who of us, hearing about the numbers that form the created universe, should not be dismayed by the immense vastness that surrounds him?

      In front of such magnificence, we look for a place that gives us reassurance, that brings us serenity and that protects us from our cruelest enemy: time.

      Time: this cage that encloses our existence, which limits our being; all this, in front of a vastness of space which is a considered infinite, and a vastness of time which is also unlimited, eternal.

      All this, compared to our limited and tiny earthly existence, creates and has created for thousands of years, a very specific feeling: fear.

      Fear is composed by a set of feelings, such as feeling completely powerless in front of what happens to us in life, feeling completely lost, being born and come to the world and in this universe without knowing anything in the most absolute way and can only do hypotheses.

      Fear, because of the limited nature of our existence, coincides with a beginning and a frightening end.

      And so, it is that the whole of humanity, faced with so much inner pains, has closed in on itself and has begun a mad race towards nothing.

      In fact, it is not important the goal of this race, but the speed undertaken which does not allow us to lose ourselves in our thoughts and abandon ourselves to our fears.

      That is why we do not basically want to stop and think, so that we do not be fear.

      Not surprisingly, anxiety is one of the most widespread diseases in today’s world.

      But, and here there is a positive report, there is a reason for this happening and there is a remedy.

      The reason is to have lost a sense of the divine part of ourselves, to have forgotten to be made in the image and likeness of God.

      That is what religions teach us, but we have not well understood this concept.

      Rather, we have done the opposite, since we are not able to well understand all of this, we have created an opposite figure: an elderly and bearded God with a severe face which we have made in our image.

      This is the reason.

      The remedy consists in returning to the divine part of ourselves, which is the only real recipe for not feeling alone in the immensity that surrounds us, but to take part in it.

      Don’t feel alone and frightened, but safe and loved, protected and well wished by divinity.

      Don’t live painful lives anymore, but rich and happy lives.

      Exit from the logic of time and space because we are eternal and infinite human beings.

      But, how can we accomplish this?

      How can we be connected again to the divine part of ourselves and to the Kingdom of Heaven, to God and to all celestial creatures?

      Through prayer.

      Prayer is the most effective means of reaching the divine.

      Prayer is the most effective means of changing our lives and ourselves too.

      But, how do we pray?
