Have you ever felt your prayers are directed at nothing, like making love to a pillow? This episode of RESTART addresses the spiritual crisis that emerges when you realize the God you pray to is an idol of your own imagination. We explore why the mystics consider this act of worshipping a mental image to be a "mortal sin," and why your own religion's rules put you in an impossible catch-22: you are told you need permission from a "source of emulation" to pray, but who is the one valid source among the 72 false paths? This episode validates your spiritual confusion and proves that it is the first sign of waking up from a collective delusion.

Here, we deliver the mystics' shocking answer. The only valid permission to pray comes from the one "Perfect Man" of the age—the true Noah with the one true ark. Following any other authority is not just void; it is actively helping the enemies of truth. Guided by a devastating verse from Rumi, we reveal that the true "unbeliever" is not the atheist, but the pious worshipper who loves the "artifact" (rituals, empty prayers) instead of the living "craftsman." This episode will force you to stop your rituals not out of despair, but out of a newfound respect for reality. Before you can be saved, you must first stop sinning.
