Exploration 8 - The Real Meaning of Prayer
In our last exploration, we spoke about the endura, the process by which the I-central thoughts, desires and actions of the earthly human being are dissolved into stillness and the power of what is mortal and unholy is overcome. Through this self-surrender of the earthly human being, the rebirth of the original, divine Human Being is made possible. John expresses it in the following words: ‘He, the Other One in me, must increase and I must decrease.’
If you have recognized that for you, too, the endura is a necessity, you will also be able to recognize the need for the I-central self in ‘your’ microcosm to be dissolved in a radical way.
