Mind, Soul and Divine Love prayer
Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2022 11:29 pm
I have a question. But first of all, I will describe the way I think, and the way I pray :
1) Mind: I have read books on spirituality for 40 years, and along the way I also have had a few spiritual experiences every now and then. As such, today I am 100% certain that I will continue to exist after physical death. I don't fear physical death in itself. However, beyond that, I don't really know. For example, I have read so much about reincarnation, and now I am reading here, that there is no such thing. I am glad to learn that, but how do I really know? I don't. Then another example : I have read books of an Italian ufologist, Corrado Malanga, who hypnotised people and eventually got someone's soul tell him that the soul is a "matrix points of light". I was very interested in his writings, but what he suggested was to be wary of all manners of malevolent powerful spirits/aliens who want to abduct our souls. So, since I don't know, I cannot be but suspicious. That is, if I call upon God to lend me his Divine Love, couldn't be that a very devious and clever scam to accept aliens invade my being? I can't know!
2) Soul: I love this way of praying. I use appropriate music that sings to my soul (so to speak), until I feel the love and desire of my soul to reach to the Divine. There is nothing more important than that. Just feeling this joy and love inside, is marvellous (although at other times I feel also very sad at the state of our world plunged into evil). Concerning this prayer, I have no doubt that I will continue it, just because it fills me with exaltation, peace and joy.
Now my question : Can the discrepancy between my suspicious mind (I want to be certain that I am not tricked on the wrong path) and my enthusiast soul, be an important problem regarding God (the real, benevolent Source of everything that I want to believe in, but so far I just don't know) answering my soul's prayers ?
