Ra has some specific comments about Carla's mystical Christian faith.

I interpret this to mean that there are two principles we can use.
First, we can evaluate prayer based on the metaphysical, vibration meaning or intention behind the ritual.
Second, we can observe that if that meaning or intentions is repeated with devotional faith, it influences the person praying at a subconscious level.
Your friend seeks that all problems may be brought before the representative, in his understanding, of the ultimate expression fulfilling divine compassion for all of mankind. He seeks that the way this happens is that we turn to the maternal nature of unconditional love, and ask her to bring that compassion into every situation or person that needs healing and balance.
What would be the effect of remaining in that attitude, with or without words? It would be to inspire a subconscious connection with infinite love, harmonizing, nurturing, bringing solace and powerful transmutation of all catalyst into divine light.
He would probably agree with such a description of the meaning and purpose of his intercession.
Surely that is a goal that could be honored by a student of the Law of One. He might even be glad to know that other people share those goals.
As far as he knows inside his own mind, the outward form, the symbol, structure or pattern demonstrating this devotion, is to concentrate the mind on the live of service, the acts of miraculous intervention and generosity of spirit, that we can see in the stories we have about Jesus and his mother.
The very same devotion might inspire a devout Hindu to pray to Krishna and Radha.
Notice Ra's phrase: "...has been transmuted into metaphysical nourishment in what this distortion of expression calls the holy communion." This does not address whether the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation is literally true. It does address the heartfelt desire to experience a merger with the divine while still in this life.
If it was my friend, I would say, "My religious tradition does not emphasize the importance of Jesus and Mary in the same way as yours does. But I would be honored to join you in taking my concerns to them, so that God's love may be brought into every situation." I would say the same thing if invited to join in petitions to Radha to intercede with Krishna.
I am always happy to have anyone use whatever they believe about religious faith, spiritual truth, good vibes, or just nice happy thoughts. As long as their premise seems to symbolize a service to others attitude. If they are willing to merge those concepts with a loving concern about me, I see that as positive for both them and me. Will it have an outcome on my physical life? I don't know.
Session 64:
Quote:Ra: I am Ra. Due to your avenue of question we perceive the appropriateness of inclusion of the cause of this instrument’s transitory vital energy distortion. The cause is a bias towards the yearning for expression of devotion to the One Creator in group worship.
This entity was yearning for this protection both consciously in that it responds to the accoutrements of this expression, the ritual, the colors and their meanings as given by the distortion system of what you call the church, the song of praise, and the combined prayers of thanksgiving and, most of all, that which may be seen to be most centrally magical, the intake of that food which is not of this dimension but has been transmuted into metaphysical nourishment in what this distortion of expression calls the holy communion.
The subconscious reason, it being the stronger for this yearning was the awareness that such expression is, when appreciated by an entity as the transmutation into the presence of the One Creator, a great protection of the entity as it moves in the path of service-to-others.
The principle behind any ritual of the white magical nature is to so configure the stimuli which reach down into the trunk of mind that this arrangement causes the generation of disciplined and purified emotion or love which then may be both protection and the key to the gateway to intelligent infinity.
Session 86:
Quote:Ra: I am Ra. We are pleased that this instrument was more conscientious in preparing itself for contact by means of the careful mental vibrations which you call prayer.
Session 22:
Quote:This entity has, for many of your years, prayed a certain set of sound vibration complexes before opening to communication. Before the trance state was achieved this prayer remained within the conscious portion of the mind complex and, though helpful, was not as effective as the consequence of this prayer, as you would call this vibrational sound complex, which then goes directly into the unconscious level, thus more critically affecting the communication from the spiritual complex.
