| *Jesus taught his followers that, when they had made their prayers to the Father, they should remain for a time in '''''silent''''' receptivity to afford the [[Thought Adjuster|indwelling spirit]] the better opportunity to speak to the listening [[soul]].

Worship, taught Jesus, makes one increasingly like the [[being]] who is worshiped. Worship is a transforming [[experience]] whereby the [[finite]] gradually approaches and ultimately attains the [[presence]] of the [[Infinite]]. | | *Jesus taught his followers that, when they had made their prayers to the Father, they should remain for a time in '''''silent''''' receptivity to afford the [[Thought Adjuster|indwelling spirit]] the better opportunity to speak to the listening [[soul]].
