What is Prayer?
On a physical basis, prayer involves the process of anthropomorphisation, and meditation involves confirmation of our narrative self.
- allows one to recall and/or focus on the subjective significance of oneself and others (for example, through the blessing of another)
- allows one to tie one's own well-being (time, effort, memory) to the well-being of another, one's own well-being becoming dependent upon their well-being thereby actively increasing the universal importance of their well-being
- may involve the subjectification of a creative force
- may involve subjecting oneself to uncomfortable experiences (eg patience, kneeling, boredom, etc) enabling development of self-control
" enables treatment of the opposite sex without any particular need or demand for respect or honour, where a person's sex is just an object, and not part of their subjective being "
- two wrongs do not make a right -
