Michael: [Cathy] I am with you today in this [[discussion]] of [[prayer]], I am Michael. In [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Urantia_Text_-_Contents#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus my life on your world] I found great [[strength]] in the [[communion]] with [[my Father]]. I would go into [[Solitude|seclusion]] and make that [[connection]] in [[stillness]] that you are familiar with. I was able to invigorate my [[service]] by connecting with the higher [[spiritual]] [[plane]]. The [[act]] of [[prayer]] was to me more of an act of turning my will in the direction of [[the Father]]'s [[will]]. It is indeed true that what the Father [[desires]] and what you request will be completed. In this [[process]] your [[participation]] is needed as the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Your_Direct_Link_With_Father-2006-03-19 connecting link]. You [[act]] in this situation somewhat as a plug that is connected to the wall socket to [[power]] a [[tool]] that can be used to promote a [[creative]] activity. Your connection is linking the existing power with the power ready [[project]]. As you make [[connection]] it redirects the power to be used in a waiting tool for a tool ready project. All projects are available and the energy is ever-[[present]]. The important aspect of this is action, making the connection with the [[intention]] to [[participate]] in this project. I am with you always and am waiting for you to [[choose]] the project of the day. I am eager to participate with you at any time in the project of your [[choosing]]. All of the projects laid out before you have [[value]] and [[impact]] on our overall project. You have the [[free will]] choice to participate and to choose the project. I am with you always.

Elyon: [Mark] Hello dear [[friends]], it is my [[pleasure]] to once again join you, I am Elyon. Like you in this [[moment]], I am enjoying the [[space]] that the [[words]] of your Master have brought us to. I [[honor]] once again the direction of this [[conversation]] and will be happy to discuss further the [[nature]] and implications of [[prayer]] as long as it takes and to the [[glory]] of [[Father]] in [[heaven]]. You have just heard from Michael that he himself has engaged in this [[process]] that you are attempting to describe and define in your discussion. He knows what it is like to swing his will to be [[oriented]] with the will of his Father, [[our Father]], and in this way he has [[demonstrated]] that this [[process]] of using your will to act as a switch and to [[align]] yourself to be plugged in results as you have [[witnessed]] in the directing of great energy to be wielded by one who is in complete alignment and [[conviction]] of the [[process]].

Michael spoke of the many many projects which are at hand [[immediately]] before us and how we are of great [[value]] to the [[universe]] because we are in a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Do_Right_Without_Regard_To_Personal_Peril_Or_Position-2005-04-03 position] to choose our project, to swing our will into alignment with his and the Father's, to plug ourselves into the vast [[circuitry]] that [[spirit]] represents and to be the one [[responsible]] for [[channeling]] or [[focusing]] this great [[resource]] of energy to a desired [[focal point]]. In your discussion prior to the recorded portion, there was the question: Where does this [[energy]] go and how does it get used, what happens since prayer is energy and energy is donated by the prayer, who collects, stores and [[Communication|transfers]] this energy?

I say the answer may very well be you. They could very well be anyone who chooses to so engage with the [[process]]. Certainly you [[witnessed]] great acts that Michael was involved with as [[Jesus]], in his time seen as [[miracles]] or extra-ordinary accomplishments. These [[acts]] were no more than [[demonstrations]] of [[faith]] and portrayals of energy in [[motion]] as a result of one having made the [[choice]] of a project, having [[consecrated]] his will to the will of [[the Father]], having made his [[connection]] to [[spirit]] and having thrown the switch and activated the circuit as a demonstration of his [[faith]]. You all do this on a regular basis as well. You [[grow]] your garden, you foster spiritual growth in your [[discussion]], you reach out in [[service]] at a [[moments]] notice. All of these are acts of swinging your will into the [[alignment]] of the will of the Father. When such alignment is established and such connection is made by [[virtue]] of the [[desire]] to do so, then truly the power in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Fire_The_Grid-2007-07-15 grid] may [[flow]] to your end, to the end that you may direct because you are in a position [[unique]] to do so.

These are in [[truth]] not [[miracles]] at all but [[demonstrations]] of [[universe]] [[principles]] in [[action]]. Your Master said: "You can do all that I have done and more", and he [[Speech|spoke]] the [[truth]]. There is no special access that any one [[individual]] is granted to this [[universal]] grid of [[energy]], rather it is wholly dependent on the [[individual]] to engage with the process and hook up to the grid and then in the greatest triumph of all, the sheer [[act]] of [[faith]] powerful enough to [[manifest]] in deed. When this combination has been satisfied, all power on [[heaven]] and [[earth]] may be seen to be wielded, directed, [[focused]], altered or somehow conditioned by ones in such a [[focal point]].

So when you [[wonder]]: What happens when you [[pray]]? and you know that this act of prayer is an act of [[creation]] and this act of creation goes out as a charge into the [[universe]], the next time you find yourself in a position to be a [[conduit]] for such energy you need not be surprised that it is wholly [[present]] and ready to be directed to your point of location. Certainly you [[recognize]] that this is the case as you feel a flush of energy come over you in such circumstances or when you are having a [[dynamic]] [[spiritual]] [[expression]] with your [[Siblings|brethren]], there is a flush of energy that you have just plugged into, turned on and are now in the process of directing and [[focusing]].

This gigantic [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Spirit_Energy_Field-2008-07-21 energy field] from which you may draw such [[power]] is itself a living and dynamic [[creation]] and it is very true that the [[act]] of [[prayer]] and the demonstration of [[response]] to a prayer may well be separated by this condition of [[time]] as you so [[perceive]] it, but in [[literal]] [[fact]] of [[infinity]], there was no lapse in time, merely the choosing of the [[Timing|proper time]].

I [[hope]] this line of [[reasoning]] can further help you to grasp with the [[intellectual]] arm of your triangle what is in fact a [[spiritual]] [[principle]]. You have [[reference]]d the many triad steps to move from one position of [[awareness]] into the next and subsequent position of awareness and this attempt that you make to fully explain what is a rather wholly spiritual principle is a [[Necessary|requisite]] step to be taken in this process of completing the step towards your full [[understanding]] and awareness.

Thank you all for such [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Our_Contribution_to_the_Greater_Reality-2002-10-27 contribution] in your [[discussion]]. Truly it is easy to witness the [[Progress|advances]] that you all have made as it is [[reflected]] in the calibre of your conversation about [[interpretations]] of spiritual principles. It is my [[honor]] to join you in such times as this. I leave you with a deep and [[profound]] [[affection]], farewell.

Monjoronson: [Mark] Greetings once again my [[friends]], I am Monjoronson here to throw my two cents into this wishing well of [[understanding]]. [[Words]] may be used repeatedly to try to reach some sort of understanding about some [[principle]] which is so spiritual such as [[prayer]]; but in the end this comes down to a [[personal]] [[interpretation]] of what it is to the one who is interpreting it and it will most certainly be [[personalized]] by each [[observer]]. But Michael has given you his interpretation of what it was to him and certainly among the [[family]] of man, [[actions]] speak so much louder than words so many times. Even those who were with [[Jesus]] during his time on [[earth]] marveled at the Master's [[discipline]] in always providing [[time]] and a [[space]] for himself to [[commune]] with [[the Father|his Father]].

So today once again we have used a [[number]] of [[word]] [[symbols]] and attempted [[different]] [[angles]] of [[perception]] and description, all the while we have been engaged in the very thing we have been attempting to describe. [[Communing]] in [[spirit]] form with each other and even with [[the Father]] because we so choose to do it and we bring our [[faith]] with us and so we do it, it is done even now. Thank you all for [[being]] such bright [[lights]] of [[spiritual]] [[truth]]. It is a [[pleasure]] to [[work]] with this [[group]]. I now withdraw in appreciation for the [[opportunity]] you have provided. Thank you.

A Visitor: [Cathy] I wish to add to this [[discussion]] of [[prayer]]. I am witness, the power of this process on a [[developing]] world such as yours. In my [[mortal]] life on a world as yours, we were aware of a different level of prayer connection. Lacking [[the rebellion]] your [[Urantia|planet]] [[experience]]d, our world was connected to the power of prayer and the [[spiritual]] [[circuits]]. As was mentioned earlier in the discussion, we on my world were aware of Urantia and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:6._THE_MORTAL-BESTOWAL_CAREERS bestowal mission] on the [[planet]]. It was my [[pleasure]] to direct the energy of prayer to you, my [[Siblings|brothers and sisters]], and the [[Grand Universe|entire universe]] has indeed [[focused]] on the [[renewal]] of your world and its return to the [[family]] of our [[origin]]. Michael indeed has projects ready for [[participation]], I witness that this is always an option for you. It is my great [[pleasure]] to be here and aid in any way I can. From our [[perspective]], there was great power, spiritual [[pressure]] coming to the planet, some of this is produced by the redirecting [[influence]] of [[prayer]].

Cathy: I'd like to take a [[moment]] to join our [[intention]] and direct prayers to the troubled places in our world, to places where [[forgiveness]] is needed so that we can [[change]] our world.
