There are almost 9 years since I first started to bring more clarity to my life's purpose and almost 7 years since I somehow got more into the spiritual journey and off the day to day organized religion.
I believe that finding a daily rhythm and regularity to the practice near a community and a teacher of a spiritual path would probably yield results that would bring one's individuality to dissolve into the ocean of existence and with that success would also come whatever that means for everyone, probably that would include enough money to pay the bills and lead a decent lifestyle and a partner and close friends that would provide for the close emotional connections everyone needs.
With that said I have to say there is a lot of hype around what the spiritual teachings would deliver right off the bat. That's kind of moving from the magical to the intellectual and from the intellectual to religiousness (a classification that I know from OSHO's transcripts).
In my case after 7+ years I haven't been able to find a partner, get to speak to close and dear ones or to casual acquaintances about what drives most, apart from writing on the blog. On a more lucid note, prayers for finding a partner, including blessings and affirmations didn't yielded. And the procedure is not clear and wasn't the absolute focus of enlightened beings up to very recently when at least if didn't grew in importance at least it was brought into focus and certain affirmations have been given in that direction (even though as I said they haven't worked for me as such in the actual, because in the potential we are told that what we ask is given right away provided that there are no limiting beliefs and the desires align with love and what the Universe wants). Certain aspects have indeed manifested, some quicker, some after steady and focused involvement and overall I feel that the law of attraction is not biased and would deliver anything provided one is free of limiting beliefs, including I would say religious ones which encapsulate one in a particular spiritual body and cultural and religious conditioning attached to it (like repressed sex in Christianity and so on).
I think that people are slow to follow, provided that most expect to see manifestations quicker and the ones that most expect and want like meeting someone manifest much quicker with the innate intelligence than what the prayers would deliver. Not that they don't ... but to get the depth one would require consistency, regularity, rhythm of which the innate intelligence of human beings has enough of to start with and the incentive to get into consistent prayer is ousted by what can manifest right away without formal prayer so to speak.
There would undoubtedly be benefits in praying as to provide a common ground of understanding and communion but because one cannot get convinced by talk but by what one live, the depth needs to be there at first ... and thus they years I have spoke of ... If one doesn't put the 9 years ... and than surrender and let existence take course ... the results are shallow.
There are undoubtedly enlightened beings in existence embodied and souls of enlightened beings that assist one if help is requested but then again ... without the depth of the 9+ years of rhythm, regularity the results are shallow ... synchronicities in response to prayer do occur but at least in my experience they didn't quite delivered in terms of relationships for example. I wouldn't say that they can't because that's not in line with how existence works ...
Then there are obvious limits of culture conditioning that have shaped a certain social reality over millennia which even though impermanent and subject to dissolution, might sometime take years or even tens or hundreds of years to pass away and in the meantime getting past them sometimes could be more effective to move in a new place and combine contemplative practices, meditation, conscious manifestation with what one can do to get past certain common beliefs.
