How to Teach Prayer

Prayer, alongside meditation, is an integral part of religious
traditions. God can be prayed to but also saints and angels. In
this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues, Rupert and Mark
ask whether and why prayer is not widely discussed, how prayer
can be practiced, and what prayer might be. They share personal
practices of prayer and explore the agency of angels and saints.
They ask about the entities that people report encountering when
using psychedelics, alongside other questions such as how to pray
for people and what can be expected from prayer. The desire to
pray seems to be an almost universal human impulse. Much more
might be made of it.
