Everyone connected to us."

"Oh Holy Spirit of God,
Protect me from all forms of self-centeredness,
And direct my attention to the work at hand."

"I would like to know the Records of [your full birth name].
Help me to know [myself/him/her] in the Light of the Akashic Records,
To see [myself/him/her] through the eyes of the Lords of the Records,
And enable me to share the wisdom and compassion that the Masters,
Teachers, and Loved Ones of [your name] have for [me/him/her]."
