Pinocchio and the Spiritual Limit: A Model for Prayer and Health1

Herman Kelting

Abstract :

 This article extrapolates the three transitions of Pinocchio from a wooden boy to a living boy without a conscious to a living boy with a conscious to

the fourth transition: A boy with a conscious lifted into a spiritual state of being in effective prayer during which mortality is reduced along the Line
of Spirituality and he is increasingly in the presence of God. The asymptote of this state of being is The Spiritual Limit, when all the evidence of
mortality is lost because one‘s mind has been displaced by His Mind.
Effective prayer requires building a scriptural foundation for prayer, defining the closet of one‘s prayers, building a spiritual model, and utilizing at
least one of three models of effective prayer. Greater spirituality reduces stress during and after the prayer session, thereby contributing to
improved health. Human relationships improve by seeing others without flaws; and as we see others in this manner, we will improve our posture
before God. Further, our intellectual abilities improve which are supportive of our professional activities.
The ideas in this article are empirical and inductively developed from many hours of effective prayer; they are not theoretical and deductive. Thus,
my definition of spirituality as travel on the Line of Spirituality is taken from experience during effective prayer and not from abstract reasoning or a
review of the literature. The purposes of these ideas are to reduce mortality, increase access to immortality, deemphasize adverse mortal events
when they occur, and increase health, happiness, and productivity during mortal existence.
