ABRAHAM: Understood. Yes, it would appear sometimes as if you are left [[alone]] to make [[decisions]], and that is true to a point because your [[free will]] cannot be infringed upon. Father can only do so much before it is up to you make a [[decision]] and take action. The problem, as I see it, is time. While Father sees time as only an eternal forward [[momentum]], you see time as the [[enemy]]. It does create great impatience. During these impatient and [[frustrating]] moments you especially need to be aware and observant, and take [[action]] from a calm state of mind. I understand the world does not [[agree]] with this theory, but you must realize while you are never left alone by our divine overseers, they are greatly devoted to your [[progression]] and too much involvement could take away from your opportunity to [[progress]] [[Paradiseward]]. [[Choreographing]], yes, we each know well that [[synchronistic]] circumstances that lead to [[growth]]. These circumstances are not always [[peace]] promoting, but rather [[agitating]] to create reactivity. Therein lies the importance of being aware and observant and not taking rash actions. You can see from [[past]] experience that time really does take care of many matters. Just the waiting is a bit [[frustrating]] to the mind. In this society hard work leads to [[productivity]], but many times we find that rash actions lead to mistakes. Is this at all [[explaining]], Simon? (In many dimensions it does. I suppose there is still the inner [[desires]] to really know when actions are rash or if they are finally coming out from [[procrastination]].) Understood. Yes. There are always many [[factors]] to consider like perhaps from what [[foundation]] would you make your [[decisions]]? Is it a worthy place? Is it [[pure]]? Is it [[ego]] induced? Is it out of [[fear]]? What is the basic mind-set in which you would be acting from is a good [[question]] to ask yourself during these times, yes. Is there another question?

===='''''[[Prayer]]'''''====

SARAUNA: Abraham, this has to do with the state of mind we [[pray]] in--our society versus the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_religions Eastern society]. I know there is great [[power]] in [[prayer]]. I know that God loves all His children. I have been concerned regarding the fact that [[Western civilization]] are more [[emergency]] mode based praying people, praying willy-nilly any time during the day or night. In watching the news I have come to think about the Eastern culture and how they have set times which they [[devote]] in mass to prayer. I know that perhaps from my [[point of view]] the direction they are getting is not the best sort, but then God does love all His children, I am wondering how do the two [[different]] [[types]] of prayer--one is going to be more positive than the other. I have just always felt that when large groups of people are praying, those prayers are heard. I have a concern that a whole bunch of people in prayer against us worries me. ([[Laughter]].) Is there something regarding prayer that we should be more concerned about in this area?

ABRAHAM: There are [[individuals]] praying in all [[religions]] that are for various reasons. Many are set prayers which are no [[different]] than mindless chattering. There are prayers which are to save [[the self]]. There are prayers in which to [[change]] others. There is praying out of [[fear]]. Basically those in the [[Middle East]], and the others around the world, are almost equal in numbers. Regarding the varying types of praying, there is [[power]] in praying, but [[sincere]] praying [[changes]] the [[individual]], not God. Sincere praying is really about the [[intent]] in one's heart. There are so many religions that drag the past baggage along in their present religious life. In all nations, Father does not so much hear [[words]] as does He see the [[intent]] within His children. [[Sincere]] praying is one who prays to be within the will of God. That is what will tip the scales. That is where [[change]] will take place. That is where [[good]] prevails over [[evil]]. Good question, Sarauna, my daughter. Is this answering? (That helps a lot, Abraham.) Is there another question?
