Devoloping Contact with Your Inner Guide
Write down what is important for you from your own mystical tradition and compare it with the respective chart or graphic. Further write down where and why you have lost faith in the items in your chart, which did not come to your mind. This will give rise to many questions.
There are four ways to deal with these questions:
Find a trustworthy person in your mystical tradition and ask them about the respective topics. Write all the questions on a piece of paper and pray for inner guidance, so that you may be able to understand the course of your believe.
Read what type of philosophical or practical answers and guidance are given by other mystical traditions. If you feel that the answers are helping you to deepen your faith or expand it in a more universal, all embracing way, then continue your investigation and your prayer for inner guidance. In this connection we would like to recommend a specific prayer.
Prayer:
"Oh my Lord; Creator and Maintainer of all; wherever You are and whoever You are; I am Your simple little son (or daughter). I have decided that I want to conduct my life happily under Your guidance. Please reveal to my heart, what You want me to do. Please bring me to the place, where I can learn about it. I, from my side, promise You, that I will try to do everything possible and necessary to become Your servant. I will also try with determination to stop doing anything, which is not pleasing to You. From now on, I am Yours.”
Recite this prayer three times and meditate for five minutes on its meaning and implications for your life.
Please take note that a vegetarian diet and renunciation of any kind of intoxication is favorable for practicing and understanding this prayer
Read about these same thoughts in the Holy Scriptures of the mystical tradition you feel inclined to. Repeat this process at least for one month and observe how your faith is either growing, or how the need for finding new answers and light is arising.
