“Prayer and meditation are our principal means of conscious contact with God.” (Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Page 96)
Prayer is talking to God and allowing the mind to receive
input and considering that input.
Neither are new activities: I have been doing these
activities my whole life but with my ego. I’ve had conscious contact with my
ego my whole life.
I do not need to learn to do anything substantially new. I just need to switch the interlocutor.
