My wife and I were engaged in a stimulating conversation about prayer and wielding influence in ones environment. I was quite pleased that we had both discovered independently of one another that the "Power Of Prayer" for her and the ability to effect change in people and events for me responds remarkably well to feelings of physical and emotional vunerability. I have seen the notion of this in a documentary about the art of Voodoo where the Anthropologist documenting the experience of a so called "Witch Doctor" suggests that Religion is the face and the chosen spiritual path is the conduit to the real central power occupying the "Superposition" that allows us to wield influence. To the Practitioner of VooDoo the Witch Doctor that needs to effect a powerful spell, or if you will, "Their Influence" voluntarily undergoes great suffering as the notion is the spirits associated with this art take pity on the wielder and grant them their wish. Christianity recognized this a long time ago with voluntary self discipline rituals and crucifiction reinactments and in true Christian fashion that power must be centralized allows that though prayer can be carried out by individuals, collective group efforts are carried out under the direct supervision of priests or appointed prayer group leaders. It seems to me that the Christians recognize that though we might have discovered we have an incredible gift it can be harnessed into a terrible weapon and therefore must be kept under strict control. I wonder if misguided Christian Prayer groups started focusing collective thoughts against a competing religion because they thought this was the "Will And The Work Of God" whether there could be some dire manifestive consequences given the number of Christians in the world. I truly wish that we be granted the wisdom to collectively wield this power before we collectively wake up to it's reality. -the man of pech merle.
