Lovin it. Yes, stillness is the true prayer. The true creative energies of the Universe are very subtle, very soft. It really is the butterfly wing that creates the hurricane. In stillness we interact with the first "thought form" of the Cosmic Mind.

Within stillness is found true peace. In peaceful awareness is the path to truthful knowing. In knowing Truth exists the nature of creating with the mind of the Universe.

In the stillness we can feel the perfection of all that is. So in that sense I can't necessary feel that the world we project is insane. It is, after all, perfect as well.

I believe ACIM also speaks to the idea that we are not actually appealing to an outside "being" in prayer to help us, but that we are in fact reconnecting and becoming one with the perfect being that is within all of us.

God. The True Self.
