In conjunction with Tenet #6, those who are spiritually curious should consider regularly consider praying and meditating (regularly being scrutiny to each individual’s available time and need). Praying does not necessarily in attempting to communicate with a God or gods. Moreover, the notion of prayer should not be seen as a means to ask God or gods for personal favors and gifts (particularly if such favors or gifts are in the request of sexual satisfaction and desire). In fact, prayer should be done without the expectation that there will be any divine answer or reply at all. Rather, prayer should be understood as a means for people to recognize their own flaws and fragility, and submit themselves to the universe for wider retrospection and contemplation. As intelligent as we are as individuals and a collective human species, we must reconcile that we are limited in our ability to perceive the universe and attain perfection. As much, in recognition of the limitation of our individual abilities and boundaries of our humanity, we should approach prayers as acts of humility. Through prayer, we can recognize our vulnerabilities as human beings. With meditation, we can then further reflect upon and grapple with our flawed humanity, and then seek ways to address and improve it. We should not preach one particular form or style of prayer and meditation over others. Prayer can be done in speech to God or certain gods, or just as humble announcements to the cosmos universe (perhaps as a form of pantheism). It can be said out loud or spoken silently in one’s mind. It can be done outside in a public setting where such activity is permitted (such as a park, a forest, a religious building, etc.) or in the comforts of own’s private home. It can be done alone or in together in unison with people you love and care about. It does not matter how one prays or meditates, but rather that one tries to do so.
