Thomas Merton, in _No Man Is an Island_, puts fortha theory of prayer that
is more in line with the western mystical tradition.  He claims that there
are important forms of prayer which are not petitionary; so are not verbal
in any sense.  Some stem from action rather than thought.  In this sense, I
do not think you can just c /Jesus/Zeus/.
