complete self-responsibility is not exclusive of a supreme Being. A person who is inwardly not ready, cannot 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
possibly sense the meaning of the state of being. If a group is, perhaps, just between the 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
man is still almost in the stage of being without awareness, there is no prayer, because there 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT

state of atheism, of denial of any higher being, he does not pray, of course. At least 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
by questioning them as to their reason for being. In this kind of activity, prayer in the 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
is prayer. When this proceeds, the state of being gradually comes into existence, little by little, with 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
little, with interruptions. Then, in the state of being, prayer is no longer an action of uttered 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
words or thoughts. It is a feeling of being in the eternal now; of flowing in a 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
with all beings; of understanding and perception; of being alive. It is impossible to convey that these 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
