Abdu’l-Baha was asked if prayer was necessary since presumably God knows the wishes of all our hearts
‘Abdu'l-Baha said:
"If one friend feels love for another he will wish to say so. Though he knows that the friend is aware that he loves him, he will still wish to say so. If there is anyone that you love do you not seek an opportunity to speak with him, to speak lovingly with him, to bring him gifts, to write him letters? If you do not feel such a desire it would be that you did not love your friend. God knows the wishes of all hearts. But the impulse to pray is a natural one springing from man's love to God.
"If there be no love, if there be no pleasure or spiritual enjoyment in prayer, do not pray. Prayer should spring from love, from the desire of the person to commune with God. Just as the lover never ceases from wishing to communicate with the beloved so does the lover of God always wish for constant communication with the Deity.
"Prayer need not be in words, but in thought and attitude. But if this love and this desire are lacking it is useless to try to force them. Words without love mean nothing. If a person talks to you as an unpleasant duty with no love or pleasure in his meeting with you, do you wish to converse with him? Efforts should first be made to make attachment to God."
When asked how this attachment is to be made, how the love of God is to be obtained, since there are many people in the world who admit the existence of a Deity but without any emotion, ‘Abdu'l-Baha said:
"Knowledge is love. Study, listen to exhortations, think, try to understand the wisdom and greatness of God. The soil must be fertilized before the seed be sown." (Words of ‘Abdu'l-Baha, from an article in The Fortnightly Review, June, 1911, by Miss E. S. Stevens; Star of the West, vol. 8, May 17, 1917)

Greetings, Intuitive spacejumpers!
During this month of September, you are invited you to help us gather resources for our survivor-coordinated broadcast discussions about Suicide Prevention Month.
What prevents suicidality? You have important answers to share, as do we. Our favorite answer is Life Sanctuary.
Our public chat space, t.me/SanctuaryPeople, is helping to coordinate the broadcasts that will appear on our public broadcast platform at t.me/LifeSanctuary, on t.me/IntuitivePublicRadio, and across the Intuitive community network.
Please bring your favorite links, quotes, references, questions, creations, wonderings, and collaborative spirit to broaden our community dialogue about how to support, respect, and care for one another.
As September unfolds and becomes October, we will continue broadcasting in this channel set to expand our survivor-led public media and community bridge-building resources. If you'd like to add an idea here or there, or if you'd like to anchor extended broadcast content — all are welcome.
Join this public chat to participate: t.me/SanctuaryPeople/12
If you'd like to participate more privately, message t.me/maxmorris or t.me/johannabotanica to be part of a small separate workgroup. To participate from off-Telegram, email grow@intuitive.community and we'll help connect you.
Thank you for helping us draw together the best conversations about tending sanctuary, honoring life energy, and flowing nourishment to all members of our communities.

Shabbat shalom, friends.
On this 9 September 2022, 13 Elul 5782, 4 Muluc 13.0.9.15.9, we're noting our positions in the greater panoply.
Since before the birth of this channel and chat space, we've been wondering who we are and who are ancestors were. Our own Jewishness — what is it? And is it anything like theirs had been?
As it turns out, every experience of Jewishness is different. What someone knows in their deepest sacred self about their spiritual practice and ancient ancestry is unique. Even when we find we have perceptions, traditions, or social structures in common, there is much we can learn from one another when we listen patiently and with kindness.
In many places, Jews do not listen to Jews; Jews do not comfort Jews; Jews do not safeguard Jews.
When we ask why, we find that everyone associated with Jewish heritage or spiritual practice is enduring some form of violence that prevents their engagement with their own family or community. Even those who thought they were communicating with one another successfully find suddenly they were incorrect.
We all struggle for connection, thinking we've found it and then failing, impacted again and again by the realization that we're disconnected from those around us and don't know how we got to be that way.
Now that we have spent all this time comparing notes together in public broadcast and private group discussions, we know that Jews are being brought to conflict and confusion by purposeful influences — and at the mercy of those influences, we cannot comprehend one another. Threat responses overwhelm common conversations and community activities.
Where will we find true friends and community resonance?
Because we have all experienced some damage to our communications structures, we return to a First Principles way of connecting with one another.
There is great mystery in living beings; we never really know one another. To listen to one another, learn about one another, and build trust with one another brings us joy and strength. How brave will we be when we realize we've figured out how to do that?
We think very, very brave.
And we're on our way.

(onement, one-moment....)
With our fleshly eyes we see ourselves as aliens in a universe harshly cold and silent to the drama of emotions and desires, agony and ecstasy, aspirations, failures and achievements that make us human beings.
But a deeper sense tells us that, no, deep within this reality and entirely transcendent of it is an essence that resonates with the stirring of our inner hearts. For do not we also emerge out of this universe? If we have a heart, a mind, a soul, must not the universe also have such? "The One who formed the ear, does He not hear?"
We call that Essence, "G‑d." And so, we pray.
All year round we live apart from this Essence. Yes, we have a conscience driving us not to fall out of harmony with it in a sort of pas de deux. But it is a harmony of "should": We would rather do "this," but that other voice says we should do "that." So we do. But sometimes we don't. At least, not exactly as we "should." We fall out of sync. Like two musical notes not quite in tune, a dissonance ensues. We fall further apart. Our backs are turned to each other. There is no dance, no duet, only the friction of two disparate travelers acting out their own scripts.
But on Yom Kippur we embrace, our essence with that Essence Within and Beyond. And we say to one another, "The dance may be faulty, but the hearts are one." There is no longer "should". There is "is". All is forgiven. At onement.

We have stepped through the window of time and flow that stretched from our new Pisces Moon the 2nd of March 2022 to yesterday's full Pisces Moon, 10 September, 0558a et on the Pennsylvania seaboard.
Our reflections in Intuitive retreat strengthen memory structures in the body and expand the creating mind.
From each new moon point to each full moon point in a shared sign, we are noticing how we have found ourselves to have grown, to have changed.
🌌 A long lunation like this one is a series of cycles for our bodies and for our environments, beginning one way and becoming something new.
✍🏽 What do you notice you have learned or achieved over the course of this Pisces long lunation?
♓ What Piscean journeys did you travel through moons from March to September 2022?
💭 What are your favorite memories, experiences, and completions from this time?
🌊 What challenges did you meet with particular Piscean magic, fluidity, mystery, dreamfulness, swimming prowess, flowing presence, or liquid grace?
🌕 What did you learn from the Wise Salmon in the sacred pool?
🌳 What hazelnuts of living, growing world-wisdoms nourished you?
🌚 What clarity do you have now about your own sacred mysteries?
🐠 Share your reflections.
🐟 We'll share ours too.

Your struggle creates mastery.
You can still be immensely valuable to this world even if you are struggling.
Hang in there.
This society is set up for failure.
Don't fail yourself by shaming, condemning, or blaming yourself for failing.
Offer a little forgiveness to yourself.
We have had a lot stacked against us.
We are all influenced by the environment we are in.
And, right now, we are living in a society that has desecrated, indignified, and maltreated the human being...
Which only perpetuates further struggle and wounding.
And without outside intervention, the destruction and degradation of wholeness only continues and is further perpetuated.
Creating cycles of suffering and torment for the Spirit.
We were all conditioned, programmed, deceived, and manipulated from the beginning to fail ourselves by not fulfilling our reason to be, which is truly Sacred.
