The Negative Aspects of Prayer – Part III of IV
Should We Pray For Others?
Is it O.K. to pray for others without their consent? Listen to what Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science, had to say about it. “Who would want someone to tamper with your locks, break into your house and mess with your things, much less tamper with your mind?”
Should we pray for others? Some would say only if they ask. Otherwise we may be guilty of malpractice. I give you this example: A man was a writer. All his life he wanted to be a published author. He was a decent writer. He had received many commendations on his work. But by age forty he still had no hope of achieving his goal of being published.
One Christmas while he was in despair he decided to travel home to pay a visit to his mother. When he arrived she noticed his depression and inquired into the cause of his despair. When he reminded her of his lifelong desire to become a published writer she smiled and a gleam came into her eyes. She said, “My son, all my life I have prayed everyday that you would not become a writer; that you would find a higher calling, because writers tell the family secrets and there are many things in this family that I don’t want the world to know.” The man left immediately and went back to his own home. He sought the assistance of a counselor. And within a few years he was published by a major publishing house in New York. In this case the mother was coming from fear, she was being very manipulative – and was using prayer to cause harm, even though she saw it as a good thing.
The Huna Death Curse
Many people, in their prayers, are more concerned with a selfish desire, or are motivated out of fear. This can translate into prayer becoming a form of curse no different from the curses put on people by witch doctors. In fact, Larry Dossey tells of a young man – a sailor – who went to Hawaii and fell in love with a local Hawaiian woman. Her grandmother didn’t like this situation and even though she was not a witch doctor, she put a curse on the young man.
Within a short time he was in the hospital with a numbness slowly creeping up his legs. He couldn’t walk. Soon he wouldn’t be able to breathe. None of the western-trained doctors knew what to do. However, one local older doctor did. He began to recognize the young man’s condition as the result of the Huna Death Curse. As he inquired a little deeper into the nature of the relationships he discovered the grandmother’s negative attitude and so he went to have a talk with her. He asked her if there were any conditions which could be met to alleviate the paralysis of the young man. The old woman said sure, “tell him he will be o.k. if he disengages my granddaughter and leaves the island immediately.” He was cured of the curse and immediately jumped onboard the next tramp steamer.

The Huna Death Curse & Original Sin
There are many stories of Huna curses that kill. But there must be “two to tango” so to speak. Researchers have found that in order for a Huna curse to take effect, there must be a hole in the psychic armor of the recipient. That hole is created by guilt! We all may marvel at the incredible power of the Huna Witch Doctors, but most of us in Western society have been living under the spell of an even more powerful curse – Original Sin.
In the Eastern religions this translates to The Law of Karma. Take your pick – they are one and the same. They are both negative spells which take their effect based upon GUILT. With Huna, guilt could only be created when someone does something obviously wrong – then the witch doctors would place the Death Curse on that person. If he didn’t have guilt, it wouldn’t take effect. But in our society, we have been placed under the blanket curse of Orginal Sin. In other words – we have been trained to believe that we are sinful and guilty no matter how good we try to be. There is always an underlying feeling of feeling sinful, wrong and guilty. With that sort of blanket curse in operation we have a very large opening for the effects of negative prayers to enter and make mischief. It’s more subtle than the Huna Death Curse, but it is more destructive because it is more pervasive and doesn’t obviously kill you outright.
As I see the problem, we all have Freewill Choice, and most people are living in separate state of consciousness from God. We are operating out of an ego-centered state – focused mostly on SELF. Therefore we need to be especially careful of what we pray for when we are in this state of being … Because we just might get it! And we just might not like what we get!
In Part IV of this series I will be discussing “Sensible Guidelines For Prayer.”
