I tend to think that prayers should be ended with “be it good” or something like that something to say “if it is good according to God”
Otherwise why would someone want it answered…
I imagine that is assumed by some (that God won’t answer it if it is bad) but maybe that would be a good clarification to keep people from asking things that are pointless, and lend to awareness of the possibility of God not answering more so as to lend to people considering more of not considering silly things…IDK
Not a bad thought.
Although I suspect simply the word “please” humbly expressed might be sufficient.
In many prayers, the issue isn’t a request, but a calling up of a demeanor (inner spiritual attitude) or a meditation (request for answers). Some prayers are of a public spiritual effort for a group. Both of those appropriately end with “Amen” (“spirit be manifest”).
Most Christian and Judaic theologies do not ask in a clause of goodness, but in the clause of that which their respective divine wisdom deity deems best.
Christian Cliche: “Thy will be done…”
Judaic Cliche: “May it be your will…”
Islam doesn’t even end with a request clause.
Most Islamic prayers either simply end without a spoken departure, or end with praise and flattery to their god.
I largely feel that way to that prayers are much for growth of thought, early forms of meditation…IDK
Hmm…leads to the thought: inspirations I imagine has the same roots as that of the word spirit…
Yes.
Literal etymological root definitions are: in/into breath.
I imagine breathing was quite a mystory back in the day…their may not have been much understanding of the concept of air, or that breathing fed oxygen to the system, rather breathing seemed to be the most critical aspect of living…perhaps
More exactly, it was your soul.
When you died, your breath was the only thing that left that took you away, and it left out of the body into then air.
Your soul was your breath exactly; not like today as a metaphor. No, as a literal concept of consciousness being within the breath of a human.
“literal” does that mean most common association of meaning?
It did back then.
Today, it means it once meant this.
Every moment there is another moment past for which there is that which was once meant.
It may have had a metaphorical meaning, it is hard to know of things so far gone. it would seem most likely it had much less of one, or less other associations, if it had any then…
I tend to think that perhaps things might have been a little easier to know so far as to lead one to do what was right back then, we think we know more but perhaps we have just diluted the water.
Interesting side thought if we are talking about language stuff in that last sentence, i could have left out “the water” at the end, it was a point at which about any word could be applied metaphorically…
Heck the sentenced could have been reduced a lot more than that and still been at least decipherable…A lot of it comes down to using quantifiers to illicit accuracy with respect to “how” one thinks about what is said. Perhaps thus to illicit a better depiction in the minds eye, though “the water” would seem to add no more than unneeded asstheitics…
Actually, there is a significant conceptual difference between “soul” and “spirit” even though many texts conflate the two. 
The metaphor’s were derived after the breath meaning.
Regarding words, you can summarize every article to the concept of with.
James; not at first, but later, yes.
Well with respect to specific doctrines that is surely the case. What would you say is the chief meaning? In the Bible?
I’m not sure at what point you are referring to as “later”. History isn’t my strong suit.
As to the conceptual differences;
Your spirit is your behavior whereas your soul is the definition of your behavior.
Your soul is necessarily immortal and linked to time in that it isn’t the same when you are 13 as it is when you are 83 even though it is always yours (much like your back, which I can testify to being very different, yet always yours). Your soul is an “angel” by Catholic concepts. Conceptual definitions exist only in the universe of concepts/ideas/angels (sometimes erroneously referred to as “the spiritual world” by the less educated). The universe of concepts is not physical and is unchanging.
Your spirit can live well beyond your body, but is not necessarily immortal. If how you behave continues through the other things/people around you after you die, your spirit continues, much like the spirit of a nation or a business that you started. But just as that spirit of a nation or business, when no one or nothing continues to behave in your manner, your spirit has died and must be “resurrected” from your definition back into physical existence. All spirit is physical, despite uneducated opinions.
Do you mean that the Spirit is the results of what you do or have done? If so it would seem to me that things don’t ever stopping being in part resultant of anything past…and thus such would be immortal as well.
Depends on what you mean by “results”. But it would either be your “Karma” (the situation that you caused), or a continuation of some action you started. A spirit is an action (a verb). Karma is a situation (a noun).
I have a tendency to think that all that we do results in an infinite amount of things good or bad… and thus a bad thing is infinitely regrettable, but can be counteracted by an infinitely pervading good…
Well i would see anything done as in an action continuing indefinitely, not something like say moving a chair, but the action in itself of doing results in the movement of the chair that result in the kid later tripping on it that saves, the child from running out in the street to soon and from thus dieing when hit by a truck… But then maybe what is the action is in so far as you perceived the result, for example you only thought to move the chair thus that is really all god considers you doing the rest is like God using that action to lead to results or something…IDK But then that doesn’t make since quite because then a person who killed there child was just because they didn’t think the result would be something bad thus they were not doing bad…IDK, what do you think?
I think it is much like matter and energy.
Everything that happens involves both and the energy portion never goes away. The matter might eventually go away as merely energy to be used into something else.
But something stops being of yours when it disperses to the point of being someone else’s. So when you do a deed, regardless of what that deed was and good or bad, eventually it becomes disintegrated into what is owned and decided by others as a part of their life and Karma. The only things that never change are the very definitions/concepts of what is and is you.
So there is no sharing?
