Do I have to use the Word in Centering Prayer? To me saying the word seems like an extra, unnecessary step.

Am I Happy?

Does “Am I happy?” exist or even matter in an awakened state?

Longing for I-Thou Relationship

I’m very grateful for my Buddhist and Vedic knowledge and experiences but I can’t find, and long for the I-Thou relationship with God. Any advice very gratefully received.

Feeling confused and seeking clarification on what sounds like a loss of identification between us and God once we let go of our false self, and how this relates to non-dualistic monism or modalism.

I have a history of depression and want to use the Welcoming Practice. But I find it hard to find any physical signs of it? Any advice?
