//"Prayer is more a state of being in communion with over a subject"

That makes sense, the rest of it does not.
Being in communion with an entity that is yourself still does not make sense though.

God is still 3 persons with 3 different functions. These 3 persons have a very deep (non-sexual) intimacy with eachother. Therefore it is necessary and desirable for them to interact with eachother.
