Those that God loves, know lack and illness, not prosperity and health.

Those that equate material success with 'blessings' know nothing of success nor of God.

Those that ask for nothing, receive everything.

Never pray to receive anything, for that is religion, and religion is the enemy of reason. Instead, trust that the Father knows what you need before you ask for it. Don't tell Him how, where and when. Don't presume to tell Him at all.

Have faith, not religion. Ask not.

It is only when you give all that you will receive all.

Many do not want to hear this because it goes against their comfortable, preconceived notions of spirituality. Such people tend to trust only other people---theologians, popes, bishops, doctors---only 'experts' that they think know more than them. Yet when a voice crying in the desert approaches, they shut their minds and open their mouths to create wind instead of Life.

It's impossible to teach people in a spiritual coma because they are insensate to truth. Only when the comatose make a great effort to ascend through their pain and suffering to force open their eyes and ears, can they advance in the experience to eventually become one with the Rock of Ages.

Until we frail humans can learn to ascend without being forced to do so by material discomfort, there will always be

disease,

pain,

persecution and

suffering,

for that is the only path that can be seen in the dim light of the ego. For most, cancer is the cure.

Do not attempt to convert those who do not seek. Love them, pray for them, be a center of peace to them, but never an advocate. They will not 'buy' until they have the coin of reason that is earned only through the great pains and misfortunes of what they call 'life,' but is not.

Until people learn to not seek 'blessings,' they will profit nothing of what the Kingdom has to offer them. They will only begin to receive true blessings when they have learned to ask not.
