The Power of Prayer

hopefully when you pray you sacrifice

yourself right because what that's it

partly what you're saying is I think if

the prayer is proper is you're saying

there's part of me that needs to go

there's part of me that needs I need to

let go there's part of me that needs to

die and it has to be given up to

something higher what part of it is of

me has to go and that's there's a

contemplative aspect to that and you

look to the highest to help guide you in

that there's a discriminating Spirit

within you that can help separate the

chaff from the wheat and the offering up

of the chaff is the sacrificial gesture

and so that can be transformed into

prayer one of the things that Jung would

say about that for example is that if

you if you give up enough

psychologically you don't have to you'll

cut your losses in actuality and of

course that's sort of what thoughts for

is right so that you can you can get

yourself straight you can give it up in

abstraction so you don't act out the

pathology and then nothing dies in

actuality
