The writer of this article I quoted had a similar experience to me in my 20s

 

article on Jesus and the Buddha quote:

I too, was raised as a Christian even though it was a little different because I was raised as a Mystical Christian which might be more similar to a New Age Christian even though the people were extremely Conservative Republicans which is often unlike most present New Age People.

I also like the writer of this article felt disempowered as a person and driven to the edge of suicide because of the ways I was taught to think and to behave.

Since I was naturally an intuitive who was able to have conversations with Jesus and Archangel Michael and Saint Germain and other holy beings there was always this contradiction between earth teachings of Christianity and my direct experience speaking directly to Jesus and God and Archangel Michael and Saint Germain and other sacred beings.

Buddhism allowed me to be empowered in a way that maximizes my good experiences with Jesus and God and his Angels.

What I found was that there literally was no limit to the power of God flowing through me and around me when I used Compassion towards all beings in the universe.

What I found healed me the most is this Buddhist prayer:

May all beings attain Bliss and the Cause of Bliss

 when I looked into Google AI it has the same thing using happiness instead of bliss which might be more acceptable to a western mind: Here it is:

AI Overview

The most common Buddhist prayer for universal happiness is the Four Immeasurables: "May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness. May all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering. May all beings never be separated from the joy that is beyond all sorrow. May all beings abide in equanimity, free from attachment and aversion". This prayer expresses the wish for the well-being of all sentient beings, encompassing happiness, freedom from suffering, and a state of peaceful equanimity. 

This prayer is rooted in the Buddhist concept of metta (loving-kindness) and karuna (compassion), which are fundamental aspects of the Buddhist path. It reflects the aspiration to extend these qualities to all living beings, recognizing their inherent capacity for happiness and their vulnerability to suffering. 

Here's a breakdown of the prayer's components: 

• Happiness and its causes:

  This refers to the positive states of mind and favorable conditions that lead to joy and well-being.
• Freedom from suffering and its causes:

  This encompasses the desire for all beings to be liberated from pain, both physical and mental, as well as the causes of suffering, such as negative actions and unwholesome states of mind.
• Sorrowless joy:

  This refers to a state of happiness that is not dependent on external circumstances or fleeting pleasures. It is a deeper, more profound joy that is not subject to loss or change.
• Equanimity:

  This is a state of balance and impartiality, free from attachment (grasping at what is pleasing) and aversion (repulsion from what is unpleasant).

The Four Immeasurables prayer is a powerful tool for cultivating a compassionate and altruistic mind, and it is frequently recited during meditation and other Buddhist practices.
