Can I pray to my soul?

[an anarchist]

I think my soul is a deity. I believe it is God. Or a god.
The ego is I. The soul is separate from the ego.
Can I pray to it? Ask it for guidance and help.
Worship it even, through building a relationship with it and taking care of it's flesh vessel.
@RayofLight you're an autotheist. Do you pray to yourself?

It may be helpful to you to learn about a Hindu philosophy called Advaita Vedanta. Maybe in it, you will find what you seek.

The you that self identifies with the mortal body must learn to give itself with all your heart. mind, and soul, to the source of your being, ie., God, until there is not two but One.

So here is a saying that may help to understand the task...

I devoted myself to God so persistently,
I finally became God.
Little by little God drew nearer,
Slowly but slowly I passed away.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I talk to myself quite frequently. If it better suits your spiritual sensibilities, you can call it prayer.

Tat tvam asi. Who is praying to whom?

 

[Ashoka]

In Feri witchcraft they have a similar belief about the Godself, your highest self, and they do pray to it.

You can always pray to yourself. Folk at the satanic temple or the satanic church do so all the time. Both are atheistic organizations nut when they say Hail Satan theu really hailing themselves.

I don't pray to myself often but I have done so in the past.

Do you do that in a secluded place, when no one's watching or are you comfortable doing that in public? Just curious.

Is there a difference between soul and spirit in your religion? If so could you please explain.

I don’t embarrass, so I’ll do it wherever.

I sometimes speak to myself especially when I'm overthinking but never in public. lol

Thinking is a sort of internal speaking to oneself. Further on the path, that too will cease, just pure awareness remains. One of the two, personal self or Divine Self must disappear, guess which one endures?

Do what you think is best. For me, soul and God, both are imagined entities.

I don't think there's a difference. I thought they were synonyms.

Soul is the interface between spirit and matter. The concept of incarnation is spiritual energy vivifying a material form, the actual junction/interface between the two is the concept of soul.

Of course, there will be differing opinions, but that one makes most sense from my own meditative religious practice.
