“Man is unavoidably prayerful at all times. Without realizing it, we live in a condition
that requires us to pray in order to have a sense of direction in life. Without prayer we
judge by appearances and tend to become disoriented. Our senses are not adequate to
provide us with reliable information about Reality. We tend to wind up with misdirected
modes of being-in-the-world. Whatever we cherish, whatever we hate, and whatever we fear
are our gods, and we pray to them all the time.
Prayer can be thought of as a mental hygiene principle. Sanity depends on being in touch
with Reality. Thus, prayer is an existential necessity. We are not talking here about
religious prayer, which is mostly petitionary. We define prayer as a constant conscious
endeavor to be aware of our place in Reality”
Beyond the Dream, page 305
Thomas Hora M.D., whose counseling practice in New York City
spanned close to fifty years, was a brilliant psychiatrist, a God-centered
spiritual seeker, and a pioneer researcher of consciousness. His work makes
a lasting contribution to the fields of psychiatry, religion and metaphysics.
Dr. Hora's compassion for human suffering inspired him to seek beyond conventional
medical practices for the healing of illnesses, mental disorders, problems
and difficulties. Observing as a psychiatrist that traditional forms of
treatment did not always make a patient well, he began to explore spiritually
enlightened teachings to uncover what knowledge lay within them which could
bring individuals to healing and salvation - in the here and now. He discovered
a system of thought and a methodology which was born out of his deep understanding
of human nature and out of a devoted search for the truth. Gradually, he
transcended the practice of traditional psychiatry as he came to see that
the solutions to all problems - physical, emotional, mental, experiential
- are found in the realm of the spiritual, in other words, solely in the
context of God, which is perfect Love, perfect Intelligence, and perfect
Life.
