The belief system of the ego taints your mind, and its thoughts are not your real thoughts. They are a web of distortion that springs out of the idea that you could separate from your Creator. The ego arose from your desire for something more than everything. Jesus says in A Course in Miracles that truth will be returned to you by your desire. The power of prayer is everything; everything emanates from it. It is literally your prayer life that takes you back. When your desire is unified, your perception is unified. Miracles are your birthright but purification is necessary first. You need to convince your mind over and over. Inspired by Spirit, you reach a state where you transcend the veil of images. Prayer is causation. Jesus describes prayer as a ladder. A person praying for things is at the bottom rung. At the top of the ladder, your thoughts are so purified that your prayer is: “Father, what is your will for me?” God’s Will for you is perfect happiness. You’re really asking God to reveal your Identity. It’s similar to Buddhism, where you empty your mind of everything you think you know. Doing the lessons of the Course is a practical way to empty your mind. You learn that you are not a little body but a vast Christ Self. Using prayer this way, David Hoffmeister experienced a miraculous healing.
