Unitarian Panpsychist Prayer
Universal Principle,
Who goes by many names & all names & no names, who is all genders & no genders, who is eternal of eternities, who is infinity of infinites, who is all things & some things & no things & void, who is in any being at any time, who is present in all worlds, both real & imagined, help me this day to be my truest and most whole self, help me this day to come into righter relationship with all beings, especially those close to me. Help me be of service to others, Universal Principle, & help me [act or be or blank] in right relation to myself, also. Great One, may I choose rightly of your endless intentions & possibilities for me. Who is All Faces & All Places & All N-Dimensional Spaces, Blessed Be. May I always remember, I am also Holy.

While at treatment, reading Nicotine Anonymous, and pondering that Higher Power had always been a bit of a nebulous philosophical concept for me, I decided that in order to ask to be free of nicotine, I needed to craft a prayer of my own. Reaction was very good on sharing. Our house dialectical behavioral therapy coach called it ‘rad’, and an Episcopal chaplain there in our house called it ‘theologically sound’. Reaction was also good at treatment open mic. The wording is quite particular.

Paul Blackburn must be brought into this fray, aye, since we wave on goliardic: ‘Enjoy your cigarette, damnit!’
