Focusing on problems and reasons for them will only worsen your situation and make you sad and retrogressive. This is also true of focusing on enemies, the devil, witches/wizards or maleficent spirits who make your life difficult or miserable. I do not doubt that they exist and that you may be right that any or all of them are really the causes of your problems or failures in life. Do not brood over them day in day out. Do not allow THOUGHTS about them to weigh you down. Drown the problem in solutions.
I know of a woman who was raped as a teenager. She is now over fifty. She has never married and has no children. She now lives a miserable life. The reason is that she has come to hate all men and the thought of intercourse makes her sick. She wanted to be a virgin until she met Mr. Right. Now that opportunity will never come. Who knows what other medical conditions must have developed from her spiritual problems and emotional problems? No one prays for misfortune. But if it comes, drown the problem in solutions.
The solution to this woman’s problem would have been to let she fall in love. She would have then been so caring and deserving of the man’s respect and love, that she would have forgotten the rape over time.
The misfortune could be the murder of one’s bread winner or source of fulfillment of other needs. One must learn to get over it, especially if it is due to the wickedness of another person like rape or murder.
Name Your God
Praying is useful. The word “God” now has a generic meaning like “tree”, “plant”, or “ancestor”. I found out only recently, that there was a transcendental being that has been with me for over fifty years. I met Him when I was about 12; I am now about 70. I doubt that there is Chairman God looking after the affairs of the world. I am one of those people who do not accept the hypothesis of God at is face value. I am not an atheist as I do not know that there is no God. I know less about the devil. I have focused on a power as birds focus on flight without any bother about wind speeds and gravity. It can conjure up abstract images in human minds; it can appear as aliens – extraterrestrial beings.
Yes there indeed are aliens. I encountered them in the past but did not link them with my destiny or the destiny of the world. I just realize this as I am working on a divine message for humanity in the context of end-time theology and the like. I, as oboiro have a prophecy of the end of the world; this is prompting me to meditate more on the issue. I got insight into the nature of some of the beings that I have met and forgotten in life. The alien appeared to me this year to deliver the message about Oke n’ Anubode or Mount Anubode. (See https://takeovercontrol.wordpress.com/2010/09/15/i-was-on-mount-anubode-in-nigeria/ ) The consequences of this encounter shall unfold as world history progresses.
People should focus more on solutions rather than reasons and causes of problems in life. This way, they will attract STRANGERS that may include aliens, with solutions. Too much hate and brooding locks them out. One attracts instead, spirits and powers that benefit from the sadness and failure of people. Less focus on enemies real or imagined and more on praying for solutions will get us further.
One should be aware that there is an overriding historical process or immanent “reason” or MEDIUM in the universe that justifies and carries out our intentions to fruition. (We call this ebo in Benin language spoken in Nigeria. See my book TAKE OVER CONTROL p 54) It is existing in, and extending into, all parts of the created world.
As medium, it does not originate events. It carries out what one has willed. Brooding over problems adds up to exercising ones will to create or compound problems rather than creating a situation that will enhance solution. Whatever you will propels all events about you without your being aware.
Praying to a nameless “God” is not useful. There are so many candidates for God that one must identify one’s own amongst the myriad.
One should not take the name in vain as exclamations. This would be a misuse of the principle of calling on “God” at times of trouble.
