Re: Technique
What you choose to be, be. That's it. It's that simple.
The trap many fall into is to choose to "want to be". They "want to be happy", "want to be successful", "want to be content", "want to be enlightened", "want to experience divinity". And so they create the experience of wanting as their reality. And then wonder why they don't "get" what they "want" when in fact they are getting exactly what they chose: to experience want and frustration. Thus CWG observes that we can never have what we want, for if we did then we wouldn't want it any more and that would deny our stated choice to experience want.
Here is what CWG observes on the subject of "technique":
"You will not have that for which you ask, nor can you have anything you want. This is because your very request is a statement of lack, and your saying you want a thing only works to produce that precise experience--wanting--in your reality.
The correct prayer is therefore never a prayer of supplication, but a prayer of gratitude.
When you thank God in advance for that which you choose to experience in your reality, you, in effect, acknowledge that it is there...in effect. Thankfulness is thus the most powerful statement to God; an affirmation that even before you ask, I have answered.
Therefore never supplicate, appreciate."
