PRAYER CENTER
Meditation
The
Urantia Book describes prayer and meditation as valuable practices
to help increase and deepen our spiritual growth. Prayer is
defined as the breath of the soul, it promotes happiness,
self control, moral progress, and leads to worship.
Meditation is the complement to prayer. It is best practiced
by being quietly receptive after prayer so that your indwelling
spirit, or Thought Adjuster,
can speak to your listening soul.
Meditation, like prayer, is a tool to help you adjust to the
ever changing situations of living and can help to bring you
enhanced insight: it awakens your slumbering spiritual forces.

Meditation
is subjecting your total personality to the consciousness
of contacting with divinity. Devoted meditation and intelligent
reflection are great tools to help you begin to find God in
your soul and in others' souls. Meditation is your gateway
to thoughtful contemplation of eternal realities and divine
ideals.
This quote best sums up the difference between prayer, worship,
and self-reflective meditation:
"And so
it is: You worship God; pray to, and commune
with, the Son; and work out the details of your earthy
sojourn in connection with the intelligences of the Infinite
Spirit operating on your world and throughout your
universe." (P.66 - 1)
