Does God talk with you, if so how do you hear him?

ways. The "way" which has disrupted my life in every way possible
though is that I hear through thoughts that are not my own. I've been
writing of this for two years and have left a trail through the
medical institutions, church, family, and court of my claims and
though I do not hear voices, I do hear God so for whatever reason have
not been labeled schiczo, only severely depressed, I only question,
because this has involved years of extreme pain also, why wouldn't it
be natural to be so? I have also refused medicine though had it
forced on me from "well meaning" loved ones saying it was all out of
their hands and abilities, that God wanted me to suffer for reasons I
did not understand. I also hear God through enlightenment and other
more accepted ways and desire to learn how others "hear" HIm.

I've had the same for 25 years. It is disrupting but maybe you are being
called to something else?

Western culture doesn't know how to deal with mystics. In my case, my
Church (Swedenborgian) is based on the Bible and mystic writings but I
had a lot of negative feelings about taking my problems to a minister
because I thought I would be judged. It wasn't until I opened up and
found a more spiritual organization within the Church, did I start to get
relief. John of the Cross helps, too. The Dark Night is a wonderful
work on the depressive episodes. Another good article is here:

I usually talk to God by reading and meditating on the Bible. Listening
to my favorite music can list my spirits. He is a 'small, still, quiet'
voice' I've learned over the years to keep some of the things I hear to
myself -- a secret. It's sacred between God and I. Sometimes, I can
feel myself (ego) let go and a new identity. It was these times in the
past I had to be hospitalized.
Now I know that's the peak of the ecstasy. To prevent a psychotic
episode, I just have to remember it's a spiritual rebirth. Needless to
say, it's very powerful and life changing..
Hope this helps...

How long have you assummed that God is something seperate from you?
