Is prayer ?

Is prayer a heart to heart talk with your Self ? Your heart to the heart of God that is within you ?

Yes
The one who's Praying and the one to whom we address our Prayers become one.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

God is not yourself, yourself is yourself. You pray to God who is beyond yourself.
You don't become "one" as being God, God's spirit enters you, and you become one with God's spirit. Define one with God?

A Buddhist/Hindu view may differ and declare you are God? What do you think Morlearer?

Are you God?

Become one, in spirit. As the song goes, we are one in the spirit, we are one in the lord.

Lyrics
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
And we pray that our unity will one day be restored
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love


And so on...

Nowayout,

You seem to answer your own question in post # 6….’one in the spirit’. The same as being part of the body of Christ in 1 Corinthians. Part of the confusion comes from the Catholic understanding of soul and spirit being synonymous.

Burning?
Here, let me throw some cooling, refreshing water on that burn.
It's both.

My opinion is if you Prayer you pray to something that is beyond yourself.
If i prayer i pray to the creator.
it all depends on who you believe in.


Namaste
