"Most ancient prayers have nothing in common with petitions;
they are,
as it were, 'recapitulations'. By repeating them aloud
or to himself, a man
endeavours to experience what is in them -- their content
-- with his mind
and feeling, concentrating and reflecting on the real
sense of each word --
what it really means to him, how he can understand it.
In this way, many
ideas will become connected in his thinking and many
thoughts relating to
the words of the prayer will pass through his mind. And
then it is precisely
these thoughts which can do for him what he asks God
to do."
(G.I.Gurdjieff)
