The document discusses how prayer permeated the process of transformational thinking. It describes this process as having three parts: imagining/studying the possibilities without constraints, discovering/reflecting on the past and present, and creating/designing new proposals. This cyclic process of unconstrained imagination, grounded reflection, and innovative design allows for radical and profound transformation when guided by prayer.
