"... Your tea -

​

You haven't touched it. 

​

You should drink it -

Whilst it is still hot -

It -

STIMULATES -

The

LIFE FORCE.

​

"Yes - thank you." ......

​

Earlier -

We considered -

The

PRAYING MANTIS -

And saw that -

Though in an attitude of Prayer -

It wasn't praying.

​

"Yes."

​

PRAYER

Therefore is more than a

POSE -

​

"Yes."

​

You asked me -

Does prayer work?

​

"Yes."

​

I'm sorry -

​

"Why?"

​

You have come to the wrong person -

I cannot help you.

​

"What! -

Why? -

Are you not

WISE? -

​

Do you not know the answer -

To such things?"

​

I do not know -

Whether I am

WISE

As you put it -

Furthermore -

I do not care.

​

But I do know -

That I am not the one -

To assist you with this question.

​

"Why!!?"

​

You see -

I seek no

GOD.

​

I am - 

BEHOLDEN

To - nor -

WORSHIP

The

'gods' or 'goddesses' -

​

I

VENERATE -

None.

​

Neither -

Do I seek -

POWER -

From

DEMONS -

Or

SPIRITS.

​

I

ENTERTAIN

No -

ANGELIC HOSTS....

​

And yet -

I know these things to be -

REAL -

​

"What! -

You have no

FAITH?" -

​

Did I say that? -

​

I did not say that.

​

"Then explain...." "
