How important or helpful is it to have a large collective of people say the exact same prayer, using the exact same words? For example, General Patton supplied a precise weather prayer to more than 200,000 individuals, asking for a very specific outcome that the Divine was able to provide. Suppose instead, he simply asked his men to “pray for good weather,” and further suppose that the exact same number of people who actually prayed Patton’s prayer from his printed card, instead offered their own sincere heartfelt prayer with the same level of belief and sincerity, but the prayers themselves would all have been authored by each individual rather than one author. Assuming all else was equivalent, how critical was it that everyone was focused on the exact same prayer?

While this was not a perfect strategy given that the prayer itself was not a perfect script, it was close to being so, other than the inevitable liability of wanting to create conditions to make an act of war successful resulting in deaths of human beings. While that is non-divine, there are greater and lesser evils, and there are times when humans fighting for survival and for the truth of the divine may take matters into their own hands and put their own lives at risk, requiring defending against or even carrying out an attack against enemy forces in order to win the day and prevail. So there are times we support such endeavors because the greater good ends up being served, and to allow things to take their course without divine intervention would mean the annihilation of humanity altogether—in other words, an outsized victory by the darkness compared to what we could do in support of maintaining more of a fair contest based on human requests, to not violate our charter in seeing that humans remain responsible for their world and their own destiny whether success or failure. To have everyone focus on the same prayer wording creates a very, very powerful combined intention. To have that many individuals expressing the same desires and outcomes becomes exceptionally powerful because this rarely happens. Even when humans want basically the same thing, using different wording and differing levels of intensity as a consequence, and in particular different levels of specificity as to what is being requested and why, there will be a kind of collective of human intentions in play that will not all align and therefore become diffused and lose power overall. It is the difference between creating a sword of steel or a kind of nebulous cloud that disperses the energy enough to prevent it from coalescing in a more intensive and powerful place all at once. So the brilliant inspiration of this strategy is what helped General Patton be successful with his military campaign.
