Yousuf Raza – Can a conversation God be therapeutic

			For a religious person, right?
		

			For a religious person, their entire life, especially
		

			if it's a monotheistic religious person, their entire
		

			life is a conversation with God.
		

			And to have specific moments, specific practices in
		

			which you actively communicate, I would say that
		

			for somebody who is carrying that belief, believes
		

			in God, has that perspective, it would be
		

			therapeutic.
		

			It would be therapeutic.
		

			And then to understand the responses that we
		

			get with respect to this communication, Now,
		

			is that me leading into that situation?
		

			See, for somebody who's already carrying that belief
		

			that their life is a conversation with God
		

			and that he does communicate through signs with
		

			individuals to believe that the responses are coming
		

			from an individual God, it carries a whole
		

			different meaning than simply saying that this is
		

			self-talk.
		

			Yes, auto-suggestion.
		

			It's a whole different understanding.
		

			God is a figment of our imagination.
		

			Conversation can go in a very different direction.
		

			We can talk about the reality of God
		

			and all of that, but obviously not the
		

			time to do that just now.
		

			But as a religious person, we will understand
		

			that this is a real conversation.
		

			Something dawned on me.
		

			It lights up the aha moments in such
		

			conversations and we feel that this is what
		

			God wants us to do.
		

			This is where my heart is intended towards.
		

			To understand that yes, those can be signs
		

			from God and these are ways that He
		

			interacts with us, communicates to us through our
		

			life events, through things that happen.
		

			But we are just as likely to misinterpret
		

			those signs.
