What Is The Point Of Prayer?

[discipulus]

How do you know that when you are communicating with a loved one that it is not an illusion or a construct of your unconscious mind?

Do you always avoid answering a question by simply posing one of your own? Because it comes across as fearful and evasive and is detrimental to fostering a fruitful discussion.

Besides, I never made the claim that I do know. I can only have a level of certainty based upon my detection of that person with my five sense(yes, I could taste the person if I wanted to) and the fact that others can confirm my detection with their senses, too. Could I still be a brain in a vat? It appears very unlikely, but I never claimed I wasn't.

So, now would you like to back up your claim that you communicate with god, or should I just abandon this conversation before I waste more of my time?

I don't understand what you are asking me to do.

In order for communication to be effective between two people, what are some of the requirements that must be met?

A second person.

Is that all? Or are there more requirements?
