There's one entity I look to to fix my problems and figure out how to live.
The dude I see in the mirror.
Not to say that I don't need and appreciate all the love and support I get from my fellow humans.

I do pray and talk to myself.........and so do I.....
Yes I talk to myself in my head and sometimes out loud, (which is probably pretty insane)....I also talk for my dogs, possibly worse than the above.
Like when they flip the blankets off of me in the morning with their noses. ( I'll say, A.......get out of that bed and feed us, our tummies are empty!).....
Praying, no....I don't think God really hears me.

I always used to wonder when I prayed if God were hearing me or if I was just talking to myself and kidding myself that any supreme being was hearing me.
I always talk to myself but try to refrain from doing so in public, ha, ha. Otherwise, I would surely prove to everybody that I am nuts! When I was a little kid my mom saw me talking to an imaginary playmate and she said "do you have money in the bank". Being a little kid I didn't understand the phrase but later came to realize it meant a crazy rich person (apparently they talk to themselves). But you don't have to be rich or crazy to talk to yourself.

I don't pray but I do have internal (hah! almost said eternal) dialog in my head. I am pretty sure everyone does except for the most disciplined. I do meditation practice daily. This with the goal of first of all stilling the dialog in my head...taming my mind if you will.
I prayed to the big J. once, after a bad car accident. (The accident broke my back, ankle, and cracked my skull. The head injury explains talking to a non-existent being. ) I promised that if I got through it, I would be a good dub for the rest of my life. When I got out of the hospital, I promptly went back to my heathen ways.
The other only times ever prayed was when I was forced to at meal and bed times, this was out loud for others benefit. I talk to myself but it has never been aimed at any sprit being.
Crumpet, you are still a Vamp to me.

Internal dialoge/self talk has reduced by about 85 - 90% for me. I never wish, never pray, never desire anything to be different than it already is. Silence is golden.
Crumpet,
I was not "dissing" your "vampish-ness." Objective observation....just like the rest of my post.
Yours,

I'm like Restrangled who talks for his dogs except I talk for my cats...and we have some pretty good conversations!
I've always had an internal dialogue in my head, though, and I think imaginative, creative people do that. I've been told that my imagination is way out there sometimes.
hey vernon...that talking out loud to yourself stuff must be awkward when deciding what to eat at mcdonalds
