Words are an accumulation of symbols by which to communicate ideas or group of ideas. Words often fall short of their intended purpose which is to communicate meanings.I believe this to be true when attempting to define the spirituality of prayer. The disciples of Jesus the Christ asked him how they could contact him when he was no longer with them in persona ? Jesus instructed them on how to pray to him thus we have the ” Lord’s Prayer .” To pray means ” to empty one’s self. ” To ” take it to the lord in prayer ” means to seek the Lord’s help in solving a problem that we have been unable to solve ourselves. We discuss the seemingly unmovable problem with the lord. Such a belief forms the foundational beliefs of such groups as Alcohol and Narcotics Anonymous. You pray or empty oneself of the troubling burden asking the lord to remove this burden and come away from the act of prayer( seeking relief from the burden ) fully believing and having faith that the Lord will completely answer your prayer. It has been my observation that this psycho-physiological process works. The exercising of this process is one form of my understanding of human spirituality which involves interactions between God’s metaphysics and physics.

We are not superimposed upon perceivable reality. We are part of it. The word ” spiritual “, as defined in this article falls far short of defining our relationship with the universe. I am of the opinion that we do not need to be instructed in ” being “, and question why we have invented and instruct in such words as “spirituality.” The word ” spirituality ” only finds usage in religious lexicon and does not exist the same in all established religions of the world hence we have differing religions. I have found that the wild men of the Amazon and other so-called uncivilized groups of people throughout the world automatically exhibit an innate bonding with reality without the benefit of religious teachings. They eat when they are hungry, sleep when they are tired,flee from that which is dangerous to them, and fight when they are angry, all pursuing built in tendencies rather than religious teachings or claiming any particular ” spirituality .”
