Hi Julie,
I´m not an expert in knowledge about prayer and meditation, so I can only
speak from my own experience and - of course- I have some thoughts about
some things.
I think that there is no real difference between praying -speaking with the
Divine outside- and communicating with the Divine Source within.
For some reason it´s sometimes more easy for me to pray to ‘someone in the
outer world´, but other times I can hear an inner voice I can communicate
with, but both ways are lessons in trust for me.
Since my K. awakened, the Lords /God(dess)/the Divine are/is blessing me
with one crisis after another and they like to do that by organizing all
kinds of very difficult situations that always have something to do with
safety and basic needs. (of course I can also say that the Divine in myself
is so creative to do this, but I like to blame the Lords...:-))) LOL!
There is so much fear when you can´t rely on a healthy body and basic supply
and security in the outside world.
So I have to learn to trust the Divine as my basis. It´s one of my lessons
to ask and to trust that they are willing to help and support me.(my
unconscious belief was: there is no love, no help , not anything nice for
me).
Since I saw Sai Baba on t.v, it felt good for me to ask him for help,
because I knew he is able to do that.

What was written above my e-mail was a copy of Gopal´s statement.
Of course, I do agree when you say that it´s also about giving thanks.
Your words made me realise that I´m so focused on crisis, that I´m not
always showing my gratitude and thanks to the Divine.
Thanks for reminding me,
Love,
Herma
