Hearing Gods Voice

How do we get a dialogue going with our personal God? By talking. Talk while you're driving the car or riding your bike. Talk in the shower, in the garden, working around the house, walking the dog. Talk, knowing He/She is listening. Talk to Him/Her like you would to a best friend, a confidant, a loving parent, the source who created you and loves you unconditionally.

Your conversations with God don't have to be formal, or structured. Talk about your day, about your thoughts and feelings. Share who you are, and what your dreams are. Ask for advice if you need it. Talk things over. The part of the relationship we often call prayer is simply talking.

The other part of the conversation is just like any other: Listen. Give God time to respond. Don't expect a deep thundering voice from on high. Listen for anything, as attentive as you can be.

Once, when I was going through a particularly difficult time, I went to my minister and told him that I had been talking to God, but God wasn't answering me. He told me that God whispers quietly He doesn't shout and when we're upset and seeking God's direction, it's our job to quiet ourselves so we can hear God's response.

At that time, I didn't like that one bit. I wanted God to shout answers to me from the rooftops, or give them to me in writing, preferably on stone tablets like the ones Moses received. "Stop making this so difficult," I told God one day. "I need some answers and I need them now. I don't want to have to calm myself down and wait to hear your soft, gentle voice. I want it loud and clear. Shout it out to me, God!" But it didn't do any good. The voice still spoke softly.

As much as we might wish for God to speak in a loud, commanding voice, He/She doesn't. When we ask for help, we have to calm ourselves down enough to hear the still, small voice inside.

So how do we hear the still, small voice? There are a few different ways. The first and most important way is to get in the habit of tuning into the voice within your gut rather than the one in your head. Remember the Albert Einstein quote that opened this book: "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." We've somehow gotten things turned around. We need to go to our intuition for guidance and then to our brilliant, creative minds for support and implementation.

Talk to your inner wisdom throughout the day, and ask for guidance whenever you need it. Turn off the radio and television once in a while so that you regularly have periods of silence. Take time away from people, so you can focus within at times. Put your focus deep within, in the middle of your body.
