Concerning Prayer, video with John Butler

“[You] come to realize what prayer really is. That prayer is really merging into the perfection of God. Melting into that absolute one.” He goes on stating that this connectedness is unlimited with no boundaries, resulting in a personal ability to connect to the entire world, implying that as an individual we can have a far greater affect than we realize. “If I’m connected with that level of immortality here, it serves the whole world. You could describe prayer as the raising of consciousness.”

By way of reference, a bit earlier he observes that as a younger person he saw changing the world as bringing about better irrigation pr growing crops where it had not been possible. But… this was very limited to the efforts of his individual, physical body. Whereas this perspective removes those limitations.
