[what is prompting him to pray] is also God

[soso]

[An ordinary simple Christian kneels down /to say his prayers.

He is trying to get into touch with God. 

But if he is a Christian he knows that [what is prompting him to pray] is also God: God, so to speak, inside him. 

But he also knows that all his real knowledge of God comes through Christ, the Man //who was God

—that Christ is standing /beside him, helping him to pray, praying for him. 

You see [what is happening]. 

God is the thing //to which he is praying—the goal () he is trying to reach. 

God is also the thing inside him //which is pushing him on—the motive power. 

God is also the road or bridge //along which he is being pushed /to that goal. 

So that [the whole threefold life of the three-personal Being] is actually going on /in that ordinary little bedroom

//where an ordinary man is saying his prayers. 

The man is being caught up /into the higher kinds of life—what I called Zoe or spiritual life:

he is being pulled into God, by God, while still remaining himself.
