Is there anything more arrogant then thinking you have a direct link to a supreme being, and that he cares about you are your shitty problems enough to change his divine plan?


Is there anything sadder than a human being who does not recognize that the individual wave is formed of the very Ocean whose existence it denies?

A puppy, slowly dying by getting it's back ran over by a car and whimpering at the side of the road in it's own blood. :sad:

Don't see why prayer is necessary to know there is only one thing, and nothing can be separate. Don't see how denying the credibility of prayer denies the unity of the universe.

"A puppy, slowly dying by getting it's back ran over by a car and whimpering at the side of the road in it's own blood. :sad: "
This is out of context of the human condition being discussed. There are near-infinite forms of suffering among sentient beings.

"Don't see why prayer is necessary to know there is only one thing, and nothing can be separate. Don't see how denying the credibility of prayer denies the unity of the universe."
Then you have a whole lot of seeking ahead of you. I hope you enjoy it, otherwise you won't pursue it, and you'll never Know.

I like learning as many new things as possible, so if there is truth in prayer I'd be willing to find it. Right now my conclusions point to that the truth of prayer was it was from an earlier time when humanity was in it's infancy, trying to make sense of the world around them. I could see it being used as a form of thinking and working through problems, but now I doubt prayer has any practical value as we have developed better techniques for understanding the mind. IMO of course.

The scientists tell us that everything existed in a highly condensed energetic plasma at a single point in the universe. So, Maybe?:shrug:
