What is the most universal way to pray? Irrespective of any religious beliefs or just spirituality.
>>39141479Praying is a form of meditation that consists on addressing an outside intelligence with a wish or hope. I think it would be more correct to ask, what is the most universal way to meditate. In which case i'd say it's just closing your eyes and dissociating from the conscious intellect/ego.
youre worshipping your handlers gods by praying
>>39141479wrong. that's the universal way to pray. everyone does it wrong. no one's prayers get answered because no one does the dance right
>>39141479Sincerely.
>>39141497Not wrong but meditation usually requires silence or stillness. A part of prayer involves seeking comfort or asking for things, which are activities that seem different than meditation.
>>39141615Not necessarily, it's just been popularized associating meditation with a man sitting on a cushion in complete silence. There are many ways of meditating, some of which can be done while taking walks for example, like vipassana. Meditation is simply the practice of cultivating mental clarity, insight and inner stillness, virtually you can meditate while doing backflips.
>>39141640I forgot to add the example of religious tribal dances, which are also a form of meditation.
>>39141479Seeking connection through your intent, and not merely by repeating a ritual, such as reciting certain words.
People are born mute, and people are born without arms, so I imagine it has to do with clear intent and an unclouded mind.
>>39141479>What is the most universal way to pray?its a longing of the heart, ignore the prideful so called 'masters' of some high fancy way of meditation, or someone trying to establish some exclusive club in which you have to meet some particular criteria to be even considered worthy of seing a mere spark of the light (like a particular ritual or method, or reading 500 pages books or living in the woods for 3 weeks), all that is distraction/fluff at best or devil worship at worst. its just innocent childlike desire for gods love and nothing else, you always had it in you, you always will, the gift is free.its the simplest thing imaginable, those mediators just try to sell you something.
>>39143535if you think god is bad than its not god you are thinking of.
Just as you posted in your pic OP. Hands together in Anjali mudra.
>>39141479Let's go Way Back!Sophrosynê; Something akin to temperance, gentleness The right spirit that in any trouble thinks and is patient, that saves and doesn't destroy."May I be no man's enemy, and may I be the friend of that which is Eternal and Abides. may I never quarrel with those nearest me, and if I do, may I be reconciled quickly. May I never devise evil against any man; if any devise evil against me, may I escape uninjured and without the need of hurting him. May I love, seek, and attain only that which is Good. May I wish for all men's happiness and envy none. May I never rejoice in the ill fortune of one who has wronged me... When I have done or said what is wrong, may I never wait for the rebuke of others, but always rebuke myself until I make amends... May I win no victory that harms either me or my opponent.... May I reconcile friends who are wroth with one another. May I, to the extent of my power, give all needful help to my friends and to all who are in want. May I never fail a friend in danger. When visiting those in grief, may I be able by gentle and healing words to soften their pain... May I respect myself. May I always keep tame that which rages within me... May I accustom myself to be gentle, and Never be angry with people because of circumstances. May I never discuss who is wicked and what wicked things they have done, but know Good men and follow in their footsteps."
