Prayer...Whom do you pray to? Are we just talking to ourselves?

[Whitefeather]

Greetings Kristy,

I was wondering how prayer fits into the big picture if we are all "God"?

Kindly define "God".

I love to pray, but when I do, I don't even know who I'm talking to anymore (since I left organized religion). Sometimes I get embarrassed, because I feel like I'm laying there or sitting there talking to the wall, or to empty space. I love the idea of feeling there is a God who loves me and that listens to me and gives me guidance. But just who are we praying to when we offer our words and feelings in prayer - and does it matter?

Technically, praying is an attempt from the conscious mind to reprogram oneself by reaching the sub-conscious mind through words. It is one of the ways of "seeking the self" as Qu'o would term it, or sometimes "seeking to remember the self". Just to name three of the most useful ways: Meditation, Contemplation and Prayer.

Is it effective?

The effectiveness depends of several factors, at least 1/ focus, 2/ repetition, 3/ will and, 4/ own vibratory frequency.

The 'self-talk' of prayers does not mean that there are no witnesses to your prayers, for there are.

Thanks for reading.
