As an example, we are taught from an early age, in all religions to pray to a higher power. If you are praying then you are seen as a religious person. However when your higher power talks back to you, you are crazy. Isn't it the point to have a deep, intimate relationship with your higher power? Doesn't it seem quite natural you should have a dialogue with that higher power?
I have met a few people who have had that conversation with their higher power, Jesus, G-D, etc... and they have been taunted and ridiculed for it. This makes no sense to me. We have it screwed up in our world. I think someone who has this kind of conversation with G-D should be honored and respected...don't you?
