Jesus was a man of prayer. I do not believe he was praying to himself. I DO believe he prayed to YHWH the God of Israel, yes! As a Jew, who else could he have prayed to, if he prayed to any other god he would be breaking the Ten Commandments and thus not sinless.

He told US to pray to "Our Father in the Sky... Holy is his Name... May Your kingdom [reign, rule] come...May your will be done on Earth [also], as it is every where else in the skies...

No word for "heaven" in the sense of Paradise is used, just the word ha-shmayim (huh-SHMAI-yeem), meaning the skies, everything in the Universe outside this planet, but mainly the area for which the sun is the nearest star...

1 John 4:3 - "Every spirit that confeseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh in not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is in the world"

Jesus Christ was God come in the flesh, to reveal Himself and the plan of salvation to His creation. I can no longer take anything you say seriously as regards to faith and scripture. I do NOT doubt your sincerity, nor do I doubt any of your experiences for I don't read you as a deliberately dishonest person, but your positions on this subject are not from God.
