Oh my goodness does this Theosophical podcast Guest Dimitri get my knickers all bunched up getting ready for this show. I feel so much energy against the notion that you can petition the divine. And that kind of prayer. It just hurts thinking about it.
At one level, I have the Jim Morrison reaction, "You CANNOT Petition the Lord with Prayer." I mean Jesus H. Christ, what do you think, God runs a court of law? And you file petitions to get the almighty to do stuff. Another response, the Book of Job. Job did everything right and God shits on him. Over and over. And then when Job complains, God reveals the Leviathan. For you see, its not about Job, its not about our individual selves and what our individual selves want. Its not about our human schemes and plans.
At another level, we want the world to make sense. To follow order and rules imposed by us. Its totally understandable, because the alternative is kind of frightening, like...well....the Leviathan. So we take the divine which is like this wild majestic mysterious Wolf, and through the process of thousands of years we domesticate this Wolf by feeding it and befriending it. And over the thousands of years, the Wolf gradually evolves into the little sausage dogs that are always friendly, always do what you want (when they can understand what we want), and provide great companionship.
Butt, Butt Butt, You CANNOT turn the Lord into a Weiner Dog. No matter how hard you try. Its not about you silly.
