This workshop drew my attention to the concept that when discussing a dua with God, we are essentially engaging in an (intuitive) experiment—“If You give me/I see/the result is ‘sign x’, then I’ll do ‘action y’…” —with other parameters, we naturally tend to put around the discussion. The formalized ritual of dua seems to be different from the natural ritual—having been oversimplified to the point where the individual’s role is reduced to that of a mere acceptor or receiver rather than a collaborator. This concept has been brushed upon in other sessions but never so directly or clearly. Consciously treating dua as an experiment has increased my anxiety and sense of responsibility when talking to God in my mind. However, the anxiety is not so much a scattering or paralysis as I am familiar with, but more so like a constraining effect, as if this approach is narrowing my focus to something. I find myself revisiting my notes from this session at the peak of the day’s chaos, setting everything else aside to reorient myself toward the task of planting the seeds I need and tending to the soil accordingly.
