prayer question

Summary

, 9 min

Principles for prayer aimed at connection with God, answering a viewer's question. The sought experience lies very close, within the nervous system; preconceived ideas of contact must go, as a flood joke shows; and after pranayama one asks with heart and energy, then listens quietly for a subtle answer arriving like a thief in the night.
