But your core point is is the essence of it.

Right.

Which is.

Neither theology of the Ernest Holmes, beautiful religious science, new age form, nor theology of the classical theological form can actually create a world in which we just follow the laws.

There'll be no need.

right, actually need and the desperation of need and the ability to actually live in that need and act from that need and to turn to the infinite intimate from that need, to turn to the universe and to scream, help me, from the depth of that relationship, right, is incredible.

is essential to being a human being, right?

In other words, we don't live in a world in which there are a set of laws that can dismiss suffering, right?

And so prayer is,

And that's true about prayer as well.

Larry Dossier has written beautifully about the efficacy of prayer.

And they've done entire sets of tests.

He wrote an entire book about the effect and power of prayer.

And I believe that prayer has enormous power.

And it's one of those things that Dean Rodden's also written about in that world.

Having said that,

There is no set of laws that says that every prayer will be answered.

There is a law that every prayer will be heard.

Those are not the same, right?

In other words, I'm never alone.
