How to believe in god

I did it by praying to myself, and it tricked the ego in some way to allow the idea of prayer to a higher being. I would bow down and say my name in my head while I directed my consciousness upward. 

Praying to yourself is a starter, and maybe a maintainer strategy. Praying to god is much better. It especially, feels better, and it connects you to an actual higher power. So often the ego concretes around the thought of divinity, of spirit. Praying to that which is inside of your ego before looking outward grows a root through the cracks of the stone and splits it open. 

Once you can pray, believing in god and heaven may flow smoother than you expect. Or whatever religion or mix of religions you connect to. Enjoy walking through life with god. Destroying the sacred is cringe. Building and protecting the sacred is cool. I hope our kids can have this with them.

**This may only work with certain brain types, autistic people, maybe pray to trains, or a big ten engineering program. The point is to practice prayer in a way that is unblocked by the mind, so your new swole prayer muscle can bust through the doors to the real thing.
