Is it possible to practice prayer-like thought in the space between our "official" prayers? Can we learn to transcend the world of appearances (which may be denying our prayer, or at least discouraging it) with a ceaseless acknowledgment of Spirit as the only true Source, Substance, and Power?

The Presence is still present, whether we are acknowledging It in prayer or ignoring It as we think and speak in our everyday lives. Universal Creative Energy doesn't turn off or go somewhere else until we are ready to "use" It in our prayers and Treatments. It is everywhere all of the time, and It is always active -- whether we're ready or not.

As we learn to think and speak All of the Time knowing our relationship to that Presence "in which we live and move and have our being", we realize that every thought and word can be a prayer -- because we live every moment in the creative Sacred Continuum of Spirit.

Using as a sound paradigm of prayer the five steps commonly employed in Spiritual Mind Treatment, (Recognition, Unification, Realization, Thanksgiving, and Release), Stephanie Sorensen depicts a life of continuous prayer. Then, selecting five basic areas for "Exercising Your Spirit" -- Unconditional Love; Peace; Wisdom; Wholeness; and Abundant Good -- she furnishes solid pointers and exercises for making Prayer and Life a ceaseless entirety.

To "pray without ceasing" has been an elusive goal. Enter, now, The Sacred Continuum and see how it can be achieved.
