True

Thank you!

It's better to be put at this : do not always think of "I". Instead, think of "you, and them" . Giving a fck has no limitation. But asking for a fck may get you nothing.

Islam is a religion of piece... piece of you here; piece of you over there!

ouch!

Myself, I am not a religious person. I see prayer as a human being tuning into the universe to guide it's actions, something as a natural phenomenon. Some people listen to trees or birds or flickering lights for personal attunement. Feeling your own actions may and can be guided sounds a lot like praying prower to me. :)

Thank you for your thoughts, I appreciate it! For me prayer is more personal, it is connected to a real person, wich is caring for me, because He is my creator!

Sounds fruitful, I would love to meet the guy.

Any time :-)

It's not a big jump for you from here.
Start thinking not of the universe responding to your actions, think more of The Dude Who Created The Universe From Nothing.
Ask HIM to help you.

Thank you for the advice! I'm afraid to say I don't believe in Him, per se. I feel consciousness is crucial to the universe, and the universe is crucial to anything living, but outside of that realm all bets are off, for me at least. Who is to say 'causality' doesn't create itself? In that frame, god is inside all of us.

Excellent post. Prayer is essential in my life.
