The Old and The New 'Prayer'

The Old and The New 'Prayer' Writing 10

INTRODUCTION

Writing 10 has as titles for the different chapters the twelve components of life. Presented are the statements of what here is called the 'Old' Prayer (usually referred to as the 'Lord's Prayer') and the affirmations in what is called the 'New' 'Prayer'. However, the word 'prayer' when taken in its traditional sense of 'asking' does not cover the real and direct communication with life's Totality. It is therefore put in quotes.

Also in this Writing is it the I AM, life's Totality, Who speaks.

The crucial difference between the 'Old' and the 'New' 'prayer' is that the 'new' one speaks not, like the Lord's prayer does, from the position of our external earthly situation. The new 'prayer', the affirmation, speaks from our now being (re)connected on our innermost spiritual level with the Real Reality. 'Praying' became now: speaking with.
