affirmations, prayers and rituals for hyphae

The words "Religion" or "Church" or even "God" actually sound negative to some of people.  Let's take them back!

Dear God, 

Please help everyone, as well as myself, live the best lives they've ever lived.   Thank you.

Amen 

For the people who’ve had religious trauma in their background(s) we welcome you. We get it.  If the word “God” or “Jesus,” for example, upsets you, that’s not very uncommon.  Church of the Mushroom welcomes you to use whatever terminology fits for your genuine religious beliefs - our internal writings will avoid hostile judgements, such as banishing one’s soul to eternal suffering. 

To those who’ve been traumatized by unexpectedly oppressive religious dogmas - we see, hear and feel you and we respect you.  We wish you well.

We’ve also waited for proof of God to show themselves (not “Himself") in our lives and the lives of others directly before choosing to speak of them.  CotM's knowledge and beliefs come directly from shared experiences and often from consensus, - how else could we find what we all share in common?

The God we worship is of the highest vibration of unconditional love, understanding, patience, intelligence, and helps each of us reflect our inner vibration throughout our outer reality with every earnest desire or conviction.  These convictions and desires are efficiently realized using the sacred tools of prayers and affirmations.

During my journey over the past 48 years, experimenting with prayer, off and on, I tested its effectiveness.  Having been in a secular upbringing, I had almost no guidance.  I tried thinking my prayers for many years, then whispering them, speaking them, then saying them out loud with a witness.  I didn’t realize that my prayers were coming true, often in a pleasantly surprising way, with a different timeline or sequence of events than I had requested or visualized, until I was 44 years old.  I realized that oftentimes my prayers had come true in an unexpected (but technically correct) way, so I realized I needed to be more clear when defining them.  

Ever since, I noticed my prayers were generally manifesting, I started praying more than ever before, correcting myself each time that I realized it could have an undesirable outcome if not clearly described.  Life has been getting better rapidly - it’s only been four years since I finally had this revelation - through a life of experimentation, trial and error.  Prayer really does work.  It works better when said out loud and even better with a witness or witnesses.  I’ve had equally good results praying to “Life,” “Source,”  “God,” or “Universe.”

It helped when I realized that my voice was, even when I whispered, vibrating the molecules in the air around my mouth when I prayed.  I concluded that a Divine and Higher Intelligence could have the literal means to measure those vibrations and manifest those requests, as well as receive messages of the love and gratitude that God inspires when fulfilling our needs and desires.  When I visualized this system, it had me set on always saying my prayers out loud, rather than just thinking them.  Even a whisper still vibrates those molecules!

While most prayers manifest in an unexpected or pleasantly surprising manner and on an generally unpredictable timeline, occasionally a prayer seems unanswerable.  This is when I contemplate on accepting the things we cannot change and focus on gratitude and the things that I can change to raise my spirit back up.  Sometimes, this thing just needs to be let go, as in the Law of Detachment, and you may find even those "unchangeable" prayers eventually coming true, after you release it and allow the universe and its inhabitants to just be.

While prayers can generally be focused on gratitude (the starting spot) or requests, affirmations are more like directly programming your mind, heart, and subconscious.  

Affirmations are powerful, especially when repeated until they become like a habit or reflex.  You can make up positive affirmations any time - just start with, “I am” and add what you want to experience.  Get creative and shake it up - like a positivity brainstorm - what Abraham Hicks calls, “a rampage of appreciation!”

Affirmations can really turn your life around, but they need to be consistent.  If you hit a low point or have a backslide, you’ll need to affirm your way out of the hole, one affirmation at a time, until your vibration is high again.  It’s a lot like working out.  You want to exercise with your positivity and use prayer to ask God for help any time that you need it.  Prayer is there when you just don’t have the energy to “drive” anymore and you need to just let the universe take the wheel as you rest in the passenger seat.  This is what faith feels like.  Letting God and it's universe take over when you need the help.

When encountering unwanted negativity or fear - watch it dispel when saying this out loud

Dear God,

I do not consent to any negative energies, negative entities, or earthbound spirits interacting with, affecting or influencing me.  Please make me invisible to them.  So be it, and so it is, it is so.  Thank you.  

Amen

Dear God,

I am fully receptive to the amazing opportunities being sent my way.  I'm grateful for all of the blessings that are bestowed upon me.  Please bless my loved ones and I with great health, abundance, peace, wisdom, love and joy throughout our lives and in this very moment, revealed in pleasantly surprising ways.  Thank you.

For a higher dose deep dive, I communed directly with God’s higher intelligence, by doing this:

• Made sure the whole environment was and would be safe, quiet and peaceful, with a comfortable place to lay down, as if going to sleep. 
• Gave thanks for the Sacrament and laid in bed after ingesting a medium to large dose of psilocybin mushrooms.
• Closed my eyes and calmed myself, as if going to sleep, laying on my back, with one palm over my heart center and the other over my abdomen center.  The goal was to relax into the space between sleep and wakefulness.
• Breathed deeply and continued to relax, waiting patiently for the sacrament to take effect.
• Gave thanks out loud to God for letting me live my life and for whatever else I was thankful for.
• Asked God's divine intelligence to answer questions that come up and help me listen to the answers.
• Listened carefully, watching the visions with closed eyes as they eventually occurred.  I heard hear gentle responses to the questions that I posed from God's divine intelligence through the visions, words "heard," and sensations (almost as thoughts, but from my heart’s center and the higher planes - the responses occurred just before my thoughts occurred, which is a delicate way to discern the difference between thinking and receiving divine guidance).
• When it was over, I recorded the journey and gave thanks to the sacrament, as well as God, who I communed with, and to myself for having the courage to explore where some may never explore.
