Martin Buber argued that God is found in relationship. We connect with God by connecting deeply to others—and not just humans, but animals and things in nature as well.

Martin Buber, who studied the reality of humankind’s connectedness, observed that there are basically two ways of being with others: we can be in the world seeing others as they are, as people, or we can be in the world seeing others as they are not, as objects.

Buber était un philosophe juif allemand qui est mort il y a environ cinquante ans, et dont le travail porte sur la rencontre véritable entre deux êtres : la relation du Je-Tu, une relation pleine et profondément réciproque, qui s’oppose à la relation du Je-Cela, laquelle néglige l’altérité de l’autre et utilise plus qu’elle ne rapproche. Cette idée

Martin Buber described two fundamental types of relationships: I-Thou and I-It.

Beyond putting us in touch with other people, prayer puts us in touch with God.
