I.
It was comical this morning. In an innocuous time my mind stilled and I recalled a dear person to whom I wanted to send a blessing. I caught myself wondering if it would find this person. It was a chuckle inside! It was a joy of a chuckle! Because, of course, it doesn’t work like that.
A blessing is something that doesn’t need to know where. It gets where. There is no space. There is no time. Blessings are instantaneous. They are not here. They are not there. They don’t even need to get “sent”. They are abundant and beyond any time-space continuum. Like the music of the spheres blessings are all energy and vibration wave and particle and the vast space between.
So blessings are sent anywhere at any time in no time at all. There is no limit. Infinite thousands can radiate at any time, quicker than a mere thought. So I radiate them. In zen fashion I do without doing. It doesn’t even require thought. I know without knowing. My practice is continual radiation. All hit their mark because there is no mark.
Nothing could be sillier than to worry. Nothing could be sillier than to presume I need to send a blessing and that it might not find the dear person it is sent to.
This is comically hilarious. I can only smile. I can only radiate more joy. I send you my blessing. All of you all! There is not a being for whom I harbor such hate or discord with that I could not or would not bless. There is no such thing. You are blessed.

I know many people pray and many send out specifics related to their prayer intentions. Warriors they sometimes call themselves. Many believe wholeheartedly that group prayers of specific intentions are infinitely higher in the power scale over single instances of prayer of intention. Fine and dandy.
There is no blessing that needs an intention. Blessings are better left undefined and unspecified. Much better. The best way to bless is to ask Creation to grant the grace of meeting the highest need. Even better is to ask without asking, to do without doing.
Who can know what another’s needs are? You cannot. I cannot. It is not possible.
Attempting to know to send exactly specifically what another needs is a presumption of a magician. It is an act of manipulation. It is not love and it is not blessing.

I may thus have burst your bubble but you are blessed. Had I presumed to “bless” you with a specific prayer of intention you and I would be cursed beyond blessing. Of course an incidental effect of prayer contains an element of blessing. Of course. But that plank foundation of that manipulative presumption is a curse. For sooth.

I know that what I’ve said can and often will be taken as hurtful. I know that I’ve gone well beyond the point of joy and humor and humorous joy. This is no longer comical, joyful or amusing to the ones who don’t want to hear it. But blessings radiate and hold no specifics. This is a law of the cosmos. Take it up with creation.
I know what people have been taught about prayer and intention. I know that one must unlearn all fundamental teaching about intention and love and sending prayer-intention ‘blessings”. Blessing is not a human thing. It is a spiritual thing.

No one should be taught false opposite of how things are. Yet they are. They are taught exactly that. The very fundamental religion that is all the rage is full of intentions and of catering to people’s needs. We are conditioned to love through a gnosis of what is good for someone else. But who can know one’s true needs? No one but a manipulator can know this. Hell, who can really know one’s own true needs? No one. It’s a matter for Creation. As spiritual beings in a physical body we need to train our physical brain to shut off the physical things and turn on the spiritual things. Spiritual things are unknowable as we know knowing. To the extent that we even presume to know our own highest need is the extent to which we are a magician unto ourselves. We are self-manipulators when we presume to know what specifically to ask for. The Creator is not Santa Claus or even a cosmic Santa Claus. We curse ourselves. [In vain, if you will, to borrow parlance]. And one who is an adept communicator who communicates well and articulately their specific “needs” to another is inviting curses on all involved and is inviting another into the manipulation game.
Further, to repeat a point and to expand upon it, the way the masses are taught our superior western version of religion — [which arrogantly presumes to be universal as the One and Only. This is hilariously laughable when we take into account the fact that anything we consider “the west” is a mite speck in the vastness of the Universe] — is all bargains and ransoms and sacrifice in the intention of bargain and ransom. I think this is specifically intended to reach human beings. It is a workaround to true spirituality. Again under the disclaimer of that last thing I said, the disclaimer being “I think.” In this physical world we can take things with the disclaimer of “I think” with a grain of salt.
You don’t have to believe me. You can be frustrated and hate my “presumption” and my verve and nerve to “preach” and to undermine your fundamental “reality” of good intentions and doctrinal presumptions. But you are blessed. I radiate blessings. I don’t have to define them or address them or worry about them getting to where they are going. There is no one who is so upset with me that we have somehow become distant and in discord to the extent that I will not or cannot bless.
You are blessed.
