Prayer and religious beliefs can have a placebo effect, just like a sugar pill. Barker, who was once a Christian Fundamentalist preacher before developing serious doubts about his religion, states that one of the strongest factors in recovery from an illness is a sense of connectedness with a community and people who care about you. Even if we mumble our prayers only when we are ill or if there is no God to hear them, the new research indicated that religious thoughts could help to heal.

he will try and stray as many of Adam's descendants off the path to their deity during his period of respite.

On the Day of Judgement, it is assumed that Iblis will be sent to Jannaham, the Islamic form of Hell.

A good example of televangical misdirection at work is Joel Osteen. This man is about as transparent a huckster as you can get. This guy is DEVOTED to material wealth while dressing it up as the "Will of God". Holy Cow! How can people listen to that soft voiced, toothy salesman and call themselves "Christians"? His pitch is wealth gathering. He should change his name to Tony Robbins and call a spade a spade, since he comes across more as a Neuro Linguistic Programmer rather than someone concerned with the Beatitudes taught by Christ.

We can’t determine how long this process takes, all we can do is persevere, intent is all that’s required and the ability to loose your mind. What we do know is that the experience enriches your spirituality and makes future communications a damn sight easier.

Remember that I draw these techniques from my own early explorations and they worked for me. Be inspired by them, don’t accept them as written in stone, explore and develop your own unique method of connection. Us it all by all means, or twist and tweak them to your own suiting. Above all, enjoy the process, loose yourself in a relationship that will last forever.
