The Living Force
Given that Julius Caesar was the real Christ, I decided to incorporate a prayer addressed to him during my daily morning prayer, reasoning that this would enable a more direct address of the Christ spirit as compared to going through the fictional Judean prophet. It emerged more or less organically and spontaneously, although with repetition it's been gradually refined, and is really an ongoing work in progress. In composing it I tried to draw on something of Caesar's life and character; something of the feeling of Rome; and concepts from the community on this forum (for instance, the prayer does not ask for faith in Christ but for the faith of Christ, as explained in the thread on Paul's Original Sin and, IIRC, a recent transcript).
DCM is referred to in the male aspect, Sky Father, this being the aspect by which the Aryans referred to DCM (Dyeus Pater, lit. Sky Father), as well as derivative peoples such as the Greeks and Romans (Dyeus -> Zeus, Dyeus Pater -> Jupiter; and of course the Christian 'Our Father, Who Art In Heaven' is a late survival of this); so it stands to reason that Caesar himself likely thought of DCM as a heavenly paternal entity. It also, personally, gives me a sense of connection to the deep ancestral past to do so.
The prayer is somatic: in the second stanza, as each body part is named, I focus attention on it and visualize the property or virtue being invoked.
I've been using this for several months now. It goes like this:
Divus Julius
Pontifex Maximus
Imperator Mundi Perpetuam
Hear my prayer.
I come before you, humble, mortal, weak
Unworthy of your grace
Yet having heard the poets sing of your mercy
I cast myself upon it, and beg that you liberate my heart from sin
That the glory of our father in the sky may dwell therein.
Divus Julius,
Let your faith be a fire in my breast
Let your faith be a light in my mind
Let your faith be the armour of my soul
Let your faith be my shield
Let your faith be my spear
Give me eyes to see
Ears to hear
Mind to know
Heart to love
And guts with strength
That I might understand and carry out your commands.
For I would pledge my sword to you
As a soldier in your heavenly legions
Fighting here on this fallen Earth
Under the eagle of our great father in the sky.
Divus Julius
Son of Venus
Christos Rex
You who sacrificed yourself for us
And ascended into heaven
And redeemed our world
Hear my prayer
