Historically, subordinates did not look their superiors in the face when talking. Depending on culture and circumstance this could take the form of a slight down glance all the way down to the chinese kowtow, sprawled out face down on the ground. The position of prayer is a position of subordination to God the superior.

The “look at me when I’m talking to you” started in America and probably originated with the need to pass on increasingly complex technical information. Superiors needed to see subordinates faces to determine if they understood the instructions. Today we consider a mark of disrespect for a subordinate not to meet a superior’s eye.

I’ve wondered this same thing. If God lives in the ceiling, why am I praying to the floor where the bodies are hidden? Maybe the dirt acts as a reflector, like how the moon reflects back the anti-vampire rays at night.
