What this is really about

Forget not offending people, I am going to write what is really on my mind and if anyone should think I am brilliant or that I am going mad then please comment your little fingers off. (Or if you just think the idea is interesting).

So, what is on my mind

prayer. I woke up this morning thinking I ought to start the day in prayer, but really quite tired of pretending that prayer is meaningful. I had no will to pray even if I could intellectually argue the meaning and value of prayer.

(I really am beginning to doubt that I am an intellectual after all. So much of my value system is based on emotions and aesthetics)

I thought to myself “prayer needs to become more real”--but that begs the question “what is real?”.
I suppose I could go into a philosophical diatribe on why reality is more than what we experience as the sensual (vision, taste, touch etc.)

But that is not my purpose here.

My point is that for prayer to be meaningful it must touch what we experience as reality. That means, as far as my morning thoughts have come, that either the super-sensual must come down and touch the sensual, or we must become conscious of the super sensual.

To the first, I suspect that the super-sensual does touch our consciousness, but we call it “Nature”.

To the second, hm. How is that done?
