I recently picked up a book, called the Field Theory, at Barnes and Noble Bookstore here in California and immediately started reading it in the bookstore... It was one of those books that excited me as it seemed to bring science and spirituality together. One of the topics in the book was prayer.

The book covered a lot of the research on prayer that has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that prayer and intention do in fact improve health conditions of those prayed for and that this postitive effect seemed to occur across time and space. I was surprised to find that prayer in the present could effect the past as easily as it could affect the present and the future but it makes sense because in most religious and spiritual traditions the Source, God, The Mother/Father, Jesus, Allah, The Great Spirit, Om, the I Am, the Unseen, the Field, Energy and Consciousness, Nature, the Buddha, etc. is seen as being outside of the time line we operate in.

They also found that prayer and intention worked equally well no matter who did it, how it was done, who or what the person or persons prayed to or intended to, what rituals or methods were used, etc.

Given the true of the above statements which have be scientifically proven in repeated double blind and other studies... There are some questions that I have for all of you here at myLot:


Have there been times when you have prayed and your prayers were answered?
Have your prayers had an effect on things, perhaps helping to heal people, changing weather patterns, protecting people, etc.?
What is your personal experience of prayer?
How do you do it?
What is its result in your life and in the lives of others?

When I was a Christian I did not pray as an individual, only in congregation. But when I became a Baha'i a little over a year ago I learned that according to the Baha'i teachings God is a limitless power source and God is more than willing to lend us some of His power if we pray and the more feeling we put into the prayer, the more powerful it becomes. I then began praying and realized that my prayers were coming true and the more I believed, the more powerful the prayers were. I have healed myself from severe allergies and asthma which I had my whole life. I used the Baha'i Healing Prayers and some prayers I made up off the top of my head. I believe the feeling behind the prayer is more important than the actual words but I have found it is often easier and more potent to use prayers written by Baha'u'llah. I often pray for unity and peace but of course those will take a lot more prayer than smaller things but I believe that each prayer creates a little more unity in the world and that is definitely worth my time! My success in prayers has strengthen my faith in God tremendously as well as my belief in the oneness of the religions (one of the main principles of the Baha'i Faith). That book sounds fascinating by the way. I am a biochemistry major and I love physics too so overlaps between religion/spirituality and science excite me.

I think that you will indeed like the book.
Thank you for posting and even more thank you for your prayers for the world, etc.
It is clear that what we do for others in this regard is beneficial especially if we have faith that it is helpful and get out of the way of it after we pray.
I am glad that you have found joy in the Baha'i religious tradition.

I enjoy being part of Christian life since I got fully initiated into the Roman Catholic Church in Easter 2006. I pray all the time. I pray for the whole world; especially for all my family. I pray importantly for victims overall; especially disasters and terrorism. I have lots of Catholic stuff that will help me a lot. I always love Jesus a lot. I ask God for healing and lots of other important stuff that I do need. So becareful, everyone, not to let false stuff cheat at all. Always put God above all else.

I always enjoy reading certain facts about prayer that will always help me a lot. I mostly look certain Roman Catholic sources that contains prayers and other important stuff. Since I got fully initiated into the Catholic Church in Easter of 2006, that always touch my heart a lot. I do pray a lot, for the whole world. Especially my family and victims overall. I always believe in God; the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, and the Holy Spirit. Do not forget: AMEN. I always have everyone in my prayers. We know that God is the King/Father of life. As we pray, God will hear and see us. Through HIS SON in the SPIRIT. My prayers at all costs affects lots of certain things as well as my family. I do talk to my loved ones that are in Heaven along with saints through my heart and prayer. It is all about life, love, kindness, and all other important facts.
