Refusing (or Reciting) a Prayer

Sometimes someone asks how to recite prayers from the MINW website and tells me they do so with a certain frequency or within a selected theme.

Usually it takes me a moment (a few seconds) to understand what they mean.

As a person who works hard on the content and logic of my own statements and my own prayer, I understand the word literally — that such a person has no will to pray and is politely informing me of it. The only question is: for what purpose?

Polish synonyms for the word “to refuse” (after Marcin Miłkowski):
to distance oneself · not to allow something in · not to yield · to treat with reserve · to dissociate oneself · to resist · to object · to oppose · to dig in one’s heels · to avoid · to refrain · to shrink back · to negate · to reject · to repel · to resign · to block · to isolate (broader term) · to separate (broader term) · to divide (broader term)

I refuse sex.
I refuse killing.
I refuse marriage to …..
I refuse to travel.
I refuse actions or words that are unethical.
I refuse someone… something…

I know that God is literal. If someone claims that they “refuse” themselves prayer, I understand and know that they do so literally, because one can pray only to Him.

I, Sławek, literally refuse to perform prayers to deities, gods, demigods, gurus, to the dead and the living, to their souls. I pray to God and I do not refuse that to myself.

Someone who refuses prayer to the Creator is an atheist, an agnostic — or, if one prefers, an idolater. Such a person may then pray not only to deities but also, for example, to stones, aliens, statues, paintings — since it no longer matters, having already refused God Himself. For such people, prayer wheels and automated candle stands have been placed in temples — devices that light bulbs after inserting a coin. I also refuse such practices.

Ambiguity, especially in contact with God, can be unpleasant and even painful in its consequences, in various unexpected ways, when human souls themselves scheme so as not to fulfill God’s plan, because it disturbs their own sacred F R E E W I L L (and their ideas about it).

– I want a husband (orgasm in sex) — or we have ambiguous expectations with the soul.
– I want money — or we have ambiguous expectations with the soul.
– I want fullness in divine light — or we have ambiguous expectations with the soul.

our refusing and not refusing prayers to the Creator, to gods, deities, to priests, to saints, to statues, paintings and more, and our experiencing (or not experiencing) the consequences thereof.
