Does your *god* speak?

God speaks to me with a voice in my head that is different from my internal dialogue voice. God's voice never is hesitant or unsure and as far as I've kept track everything It says will happen does happen as God says it will. This is actually a fairly recent development in my relationship with God. Christians will tell you that they have a "personal" relationship with God through Jesus talking to them but this Gnostic Christian never experienced that until two years ago when God suddenly spoke to me, calming my fear of facing cancer surgery. Before this, God communicated Its spiritual information and instructions for 28 years via synchronicity experiences like some mentioned in the comments here. Even now after God's vocalizing Its wants of me for over two years I still have doubts believing because it seems so easy for my own ego to be talking to me as "God". But then there's the proof of what God says and then what happens to verify God's voiced messages to me. God's running about 99% accuracy in predicting what I should expect and I know that my own ego just isn't capable of knowing what's coming like that.

Friend biomystic,
Cannot deny any possibilities as Indian mystic Ramakrishna spoke to his deity *kali* like a son and mother relationship, feeding the deity, cooking for her, crying, laughing and all emotions that happens within a normal family. For outsiders it could be all a drama of a mad man but for enlightened individual, "what an Oneness!*

That's not fair!
Now I'm going to sit and wonder what cool beliefs you have that are too special/unique to share. I for one would love to hear them, without criticizing. Especially considering what a kind and open minded person. Maybe one day?

God has communicated with me telepathically.

Is not going to save you.
Yes, I have heard God speak. It was my ego or myself saying it, because you know when you think in your head and it has the same tone as your voice does, but this was more clearer, and it had this sense of power, yet care in the tone.

The same for me. The voice of God I receive mentally is always without hesitation and clear whereas when I think to myself it's just like me grappling with ideas and events, I am never that sure of myself and my own track record for accuracy in prediction isn't anywhere near the 99% rate Father's voice has racked up so far in the two years since I first heard His voice. I went 28 years without ever hearing it and relied on "signs", synchronicity events to confirm the mental revelations and visions that I receive periodically. Now I have what we Christian's call a "personal" relationship with God and it's good although I do find myself much more hesitant to ask God for counsel now, usually confining my questions to major ones.

Good question! In still silence the Universe, God, can answer questions. Sometimes in your native tongue sometimes in sign. I have had many questions and answers given to me at unpredictable moments, in very awesome ways.
I have to laugh at this time when one night I was questioning Gods existence, it was very quiet, far away from other houses and I was deep in thought when I heard a voice. There was no TV no radio, no people that I knew of for a fair distance, but this barely audible voice. As I searched, almost frantically to find the source, it followed it to a 25 watt Fender amplifier that I had plugged in, not turned on, just plugged in. As I put my ear to the screen I could hear a fate british males voice. I understand, now, how that can happen, freak but it can happen. It must have been a religious radio show, because what I clearly heard this voice say was, God does exist, he is everywhere, then it just faded out. I believe it was God, not a really weird coincidence. I love this life, yet to fully surrender my Ego, I am waiting for my four legged friend to say, Rhyan, this is God here, I need you to do something for me.
Not being skeptical.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
A word is a sound that has been given a form. Without formed sound you won't hear God but the background noise of living systems. There is no such thing as silence for the living.

"Only the *thoughts can be silenced!"
But at what cost? You stop thinking and you stop thinking. No thought cannot solve the problems of living. It is at best a way to relax the mind from cares and at worst an escape from reality.

Friend biomystic,
Stilling the mind, does not stop one from using the mind to think!
When light enters where does darkness go? It simply recoils and stays just on the periphery of light, similarly is consciousness, thoughts just side step when consciousness id around.
One only silences the MIND, the process of thinking is always available for the mind to use.

Proof is in the pudding. Show us how those countries where stilling the mind is the dominant religious or philosophical paradigm have achieved anywhere near the brilliance in most every aspect of cultural and scientific progress of Western societies "suffering" from non-enlightenment. I am saying that you spend hours and hours in no thought meditation and you pay the price of dulling your mind to solving problems of life. It's simple reasoning. It takes time to solve problems that promote human learning and understanding of the world and the way human societies fit into the way the world works. If you're brain's paying attention to transcendental meditation type of cognition, it's correspondingly not paying attention to solving existential problems. The telling sign of this is lagging social advancement in those societies where no thought is deemed the highest thought.
We're put here to make ourselves better by making the world we live in better and that takes paying attention to problems outside of one's self. This is why I follow the Christian path for reduction of ego which is putting one's self in service to others and not worrying about self enlightenment, something the real thing only comes from God.

Friend biomystic,
Kindly understand.
Science only validates what laws exists already in existence by *thinking* and Religion is all about *stilling* that very mind.
The process is centered on the MIND. One looking outside and yet not finding solutions to bring about any equilibrium to life.
Religion looking inwards has found the equilibrium to be at peace with the *self* and existence.
The fight is not between the two aspects of the mind as mentioned before the MIND is to be used both WAYS as and when needed and due to THIS understanding now we find Westerners taking to eastern WAYS and the East taking to western WAYS and the merging of both the aspects will bring about a *WHOLENESS* and which will then turn the wheel of evolution forward to its next level.
