This isn't what I was talking about. Not "magic for
favors." Devotion is simply a "technology." It engenders respect
and the awareness, that we can never work alone. Like Picasso said,
"I can do anything the Art tells me to do."

you know they totally misunderstand what is going on. This it
the origin of many of the difficulties in the world.
Devotion requires more than just an internal focus.
Devotion always required relationship..
