Kuroikaze Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I mean, after I stopped praying, things just sort of made more sense. I felt a sense of peace. I know it's weird, because christians say praying is supposed to give you peace. But the opposite happened to me. Once I stopped seeing God as something outside of us, and starting viewing the universe as one, then I didn't have to call out to some unseen force for help. After I became disillusioned with all religion, I remember the only spirituality I ever felt was when I went outside and looked at nature. Maybe that's why "see you at the pole" feels so great. It's not the praying, it's being outside, closing your eyes, and feeling like you're connected to something. One of the things I always liked about Taoism is that prayer is useless, Taoists will let you know that the Tao is not the least bit concerned about the well being of individuals. It is up to us to live a good life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
