As the seventh ray influence increases we'll see more and more ritualized and organized activity. I think John Nash does an excellent job explaining it. Some quotes:
" The Church of Rome and the Eastern Orthodox churches acknowledge seven sacraments: baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, penance, holy orders, matrimony, and the anointing of the sick. These specialized rituals were established as conduits of spiritual power, whose efficacy was guaranteed by divine authorization. . .The sacraments can be traced to pre-Christian origins, and they have counterparts in the ancient mystery schools, in other world religions, and in the rituals of modern occult societies. Although the churches are loath to admit it, the sacraments also share many characteristics with the rituals of high magic. Indeed, the average practitioner of high magic is probably more proficient than the typical Christian priest or minister. On the other hand—to its very considerable credit—the churches have maintained a strict 2nd Aspect focus in the sacraments and have avoided the pitfalls of the left-hand path.. .
The convergence of religion and occultism at this time naturally points to the sacraments as rituals of special interest. In a work of profound insight and synthesis. . .

If you do rituals - well let me ask you this question - if someone says to you at least once a week - "you are my best friend" - and you do not hear from them the rest of the week - is there a friendship there - or are a bunch of words that mean nothing being said?
I said all that to make a point - if you say the same thing each week when you pray and attend Church - do you think God is listening?

You should get creative and ask your question better maybe? You think we stand and sing from a hymnal to keep synchronicity and trust? Come on, perhaps rephrasing the question would be best.

Sure. I meditate every day...days I don't I notice my synchronicities are off and my timing is off with a lot of things. My trust in myself grew with daily meditation as did my trust in others as well.
