I may not think I have free will, but no matter what anyone says, I still behave as though I do. Because if one feels how in every thought, desire and movement he is being operated by a force that wants bad for him (the ego), then he would search for a way to stop following these dictates.

Hi Tove,
We have not yet revealed the extent of human egoism. It includes more than we can even imagine would be possible because it is a desire to receive, without a shred of bestowal. And the Creator is the quality of bestowal without a shred of reception. So, He made us the exact opposite form to His. That’s why precisely from it, though He is concealed, we can invert our qualities to Bestowal and become like Him.
Yes, but they aren’t going to be words because the Creator doesn’t hear words – He scans the heart. So, a prayer means arriving in your heart at a certain deficiency, and you also need to arrive at the deficiency that the Creator wants you to arrive at. Meaning, it’s like a parent that will give the child what he wants as long as it’s what the parents want to give. So, it’s more complex than just giving words to say.
