PACRE PERFORMANCE 101

why pray before composing a pacre ... it's discourteous not to and dangerous to the pacre ... besides strictly speaking it's impossible since the pacre a meditation is a prayer ... all you can do is deny its character but that's enough to give you trouble enough ... acceding to the desire of the pacre to be known as a meditation you might still want to deny meditation the status of prayer given this proposed definition of prayer ...that it's a conversation one spirit to another ... you might accept on the other hand that meditation is thought and thought usually takes the form of a conversation if only with our selves ... you might want to take the self as a mental construction of our imagination of our culture or of our thought itself ... but if you can feel an impulse to want more than that for yourself you might well call it a soul and then we'd be in the same neighborhood ... for I take the spirit to be what one soul in communication with another from a simple conversation to a full communion ... and that's why I think it would be dangerous to start a pacre without a prayer ... because you should know your audience
