A viewer asks: “Is the Kaddish an effective prayer?” What is Creator’s perspective?

This prayer has its uses and is effective as far as it goes, but it is made with an incomplete understanding of what death truly represents, the nature of transition of the spirit from the body, and the attainment of a return to the divine realm by the departing spirit, being an essential goal for continuing the soul journey, being that there is truly no death but only birth and rebirth. So your soul comes and goes, coming in as a spirit into a physical body and departing as a spirit to return to heaven unless you become waylaid in the lower astral plane as happens about a third of the time. This can be quite tragic because there are many souls in limbo suffering greatly, being disconnected, and in a state of despair. We have said before, "Death should be a joyous event, and birth calling for an act of mourning," that would be more fitting considering the journey being embarked on. Coming into the physical is a treacherous undertaking, a harsh environment at best, and holds many uncertainties and sources of harm to the soul as well as physical well-being during the incarnation. Liberation, with death of the body, allows a return to heavenly bliss by the fortunate where you will lick your wounds and enjoy many, many blessings not available to you as a physical human, being down in the battle zone, so to speak. We would rather see people look at prayer with an eye towards the actual intention of life and the stage you are experiencing, and be sure whatever words are used express an accurate intent representing the needs of the moment as best one can, but considering accurate portrayal of divine wisdom, as we do for all who come to GetWisdom, so you are not trapped in faulty thinking of the past that is often limited and misconstrues the purpose of things, and often misses the mark so people may pray and pray and pray but not benefit in the way they could if they use more effective prayer. We do not like to criticize doctrine because it is always sacred to many and such criticism will be resisted and misunderstood. We would rather see people pray spontaneously, from the heart, and not rely on timeworn formal prayers that may have been, in fact, corrupted to limit their reach, and that is all too true of the formal prayers used in religious observance.
