I don’t think you’re being arrogant at all. I don’t necessarily disagree with you either in general. For most people fields will be more effective. That being said I have been involved with a few different traditions where their “prayers” are more effective. Protected and hidden energy cultivation methods are a complete game changer when it comes to outcomes. I’ve also seen what can happen with properly directed group prayers by people without cultivated energy bodies but lead by someone that knows what’s up.
I’m not discounting the effectiveness of fields. I’m simply discussing the justifications and mental gymnastics of those that regard one more than the other without understanding the ramifications of each. Basically there is no difference but people like to decide that there is.
