The Fire of Life Oracle: 12 Stirring the Shadows

Pure existence godbeing in my own awake space,
Self-existent traveler through the quantum cosmos,
Stirred awake as I dream, I know you are real!
Please restore my innocence in the joy of sleep!

Free me from the sorrow of my illusions!

Free me from past and future thoughts!
Let the sweetness of love permeate my being!
Grant me this prayer, then let me forget!

Hidden Dragon! I disappear behind the veils of waking!

No brooding mind will assault me here.
I do not want to know what will or will not be.
Let me sleep again. Innocent not-knowing.

Fire of Life! Fire of Life! No burdens for me!

Fire of Life! Fire of Life! No burdens for me!
Fire of Life! Fire of Life! No burdens for me!

This prayer is a plea for unconsciousness. Your awakening may be occurring too quickly. The human mind slips between the folds of the veil and finds unprocessed energy from past experiences. The weight of such experiences can overwhelm the mind and distort its living processes. The veil itself is a changing energy field that houses the consciousness of a godbeing. As the godbeing probes the veil, imparting to it energy and intelligence, it engineers experiences for the personality that will lead to the veil’s unwrapping, allowing the godbeing to step forth and fulfill its purpose. This is a long process, extending far beyond the length of individual lifetimes.

This prayer is a simple warning for you as a personality not to process too deeply the shadowy components of the personal life. Your life is just one stage of a process much more extensive than you can see. The godbeing knows how to work its life through those conditions, and you can never find the bottom of darkness. When you stir the pot to relieve personal tensions, either through psychotherapeutic processes or through spiritual techniques, you may loosen the veil too soon. Stir, but also listen to your inner guidance. Remember, you don’t know how to do it. Personal freedom is not the same as spiritual freedom, which only the godbeing imparts, and it imparts it to itself.

What Are the Fire of Life Prayers?

The 58 Fire of Life Prayers came to me over a two week period. I wrote them down as they appeared in my mind. The commentaries came later. Together they are an expression of the mystery which resides in all human beings as undefined and absolute. In these prayers, this increment of the absolute spirit is referred to as a godbeing.

These prayers are intimate "negotiations" between the human being and the absolute spirit for exploring the mysteries of existence. They represent the forging of identities which will define how the undefined walks through the world in human form.

Each of the prayers is addressed directly to a godbeing by a particular human voice which has gained, with certitude, knowledge that the godbeing exists and which struggles to integrate this certitude with the suspected realization that when the godbeing fully incarnates, its human voice may cease to exist. As a whole, they express this negotiation on a quantum level, which is that territory where human and absolute spirit can intimately interact. I call that territory the quantum cosmos. The quantum cosmos is where real events occur. The voices in these prayers all rise from the quantum cosmos. --John Lentz
