There is a resonance in making a prayer request with similar requests done by others, and residing within the collective unconscious from these prior efforts accumulating in the repository it represents. This is always an aspect of energy, for there is an interpenetration and a flow in many directions at once, and everything in the path of energy, in a sense, can be recruited to proceed in tandem and add to the party. When thoughts are generated and transferred to the collective unconscious, there will be a corresponding response that is an energetic match to the intention of the thought. The limitation is largely in the ability of each individual to perceive these signals and incorporate them in a meaningful way into their own thoughts and feelings. It will always be to some extent a function of their intuitive reach, its depth and breadth, which vary among individuals. So this is an elegant system but one of variable impact and cannot always be relied upon to convey important messages.
This is why a brilliant new concept is not universally recognized and which comes into the awareness of all people at once. It is perhaps recognized by one or at most several other thinkers capable of having a similar notion, or who are approaching this concept with their thoughts and only need that one extra clarifying concept to put the puzzle pieces in place. So a prayer request will suffer from the same dilution effect and the same consequences of the lack of focus on the part of most people who carry out any activity involving thought, and this includes prayer as well. Many prayers are done with little conviction and with little inner reflection or even understanding of their intention, and so have only a weak result. This is always an issue and a factor in the effectiveness of any prayer effort done on a large scale.
