I No Longer Pray

I relate to what Chelan Harkin writes. I learned prayers and said prayers to a separate God out there. It is only in the past 15+ years that I became aware that all is one and all is God in form. Since that awareness, my prayer is from that awareness of oneness and intimacy of all, and my prayer seems to slowly enhance that awareness. I think dissatisfaction with prayer and religion that I grew up in helped me search and be open to seeing the connection of all that is. My reading, discussing, and reflecting help me see and sometimes feel my connection to all that is. The connection I am aware of with self, with others, and with the world increases and I think is itself a prayer.

This! I resonate with your response, David, very much so. We are all interconnected and I no longer pray to a Being outside of myself, "out there somewhere". I pray to Divine Source within us all and within everything thing that is around us. I journal everyday and it is a form of prayer for me. Thank you, for sharing! Namaste~
