The World Is Built By Our Prayers
People think that prayer relates to religion and religious people, and that it is removed from regular, secular people. But that is not true! All of our external garments, physical bodies, and objects surrounding us in this world are expressions of desire. There is nothing but desire, which creates all these clothings for itself.
Therefore, without being aware of it, we determine our entire lives with our desires, including what state we will enter in the next moment and how we will experience this reality! Whether we want it or not, we are all always praying, or asking for some kind of fulfillment for our desire. We do it completely unconsciously. I don’t have to pray for someone or something intentionally. Desire comprises our entire inner essence, and my sensation that I lack something is called prayer.
We want something at every moment. That is how we influence reality, which contains nothing but desire and the force of desire. This means that at every moment I want something and I pray for it. Our desires connect with one another and control the entire universe, continually producing new pictures and new states for us.
We build this world with our prayers! Therefore, the only thing we need is to change our requests, despite the desire of our heart. Then we will reveal a new world because the whole world is the sensation inside my desire.
The science of Kabbalah is named after the word “Kabbalah,” reception, because it talks about what you will receive the next moment. Only you determine what the next moment will be, what you will receive and feel in it. Will you be able to change your vision of the world, directing your desire in the necessary direction (which is called prayer)? If you change your prayer so that instead of desiring what you desire now, you desire the right thing, then you will change the entire picture of the world and all of reality.

why is so we are in this bad situation? because i don’t know how to desire the best for me and to others? but in another hand is it not unconsciously thing?
I guess, we need to go back to our desires and really scrutinize if these desires align with the desires of the Creator. If my desires coincide with the Creator’s, then there is adhesion which we are trying to work for as a goal. The thing is if we discover that we have desires that are totally opposite the Creator’s, there is a gap that separates us. We need to pray that the Creator will enter our desires and influence us to the right ones. That is why we need our friends, the books, and the right teacher to lead us to our correction. This way, the light will influence us. Lechaim!
