God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
-John 4:24
For those who believe in God, when speaking to God one must speak in God’s “language”, that is, one must speak to God with content that reflects the cosmic situation of things.
The cosmic situation of things, given that we exist within the mind of God as it currently jumps back and forth between lucid and non-lucid dreaming, is that when speaking to God one must have at least the idea, but hopefully the belief that the content of one’s speech or the nature of one’s thoughts or feelings is derived from God himself as he experienced you (in the past) speaking to him while he is in a state of lucid or non lucid dreaming.
Respectful speech comes when one’s mind mirrors God’s experience of one speaking to him as his mind is in a state of lucid dreaming. Disrespectful speech or disrespectful or inappropriate thought and feeling is derived from God’s experience of one speaking to him while his mind is in a state of non-lucid dreaming.
The key is that man and God are linked in that “man lives not by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God” in the sense that man is a reflection of the thoughts of God as he lucidly or non lucid dreams.
When one speaks to God while mindful of this linkage, one transcends ego or meritocracy (favor-garnering through empty acts of virtue or handing God a resume showing how good you are and have been) and speaks to God in an atmosphere of underlying, cosmic truth.
(Be careful now: God has no loyalty to this world or the things in it, and is working towards its dissolution. The death of a loved one, therefore, is more favorable and meaningful to him than his or her continued survival, as death is God’s freeing someone from the current world or plane of existence (the Revised Hell of Crucifixion) for the purpose of transforming the individual into something outside the “Matrix” of the crucifixion incapable of evil. This matters more to him than a new pair of shoes, the paying of bills, or continued experience of the “here and now”.)
