I'm with you, sweet sannhet!
Hope you enjoyed your Guinness. I think it takes bravery to think outside the box and to trust that you KNOW what you KNOW. It's not a delusion when "The Divine" make a noticeable change in your life. And you are content because you trust your intuitions and your heart and you just "Know."

indeed
to me it seems God reveals himself everywhere all the time, yet so often our recognition of this is clouded by the footprint instead of the one who made it.

"There is also the direct authority from the Divine that can be experienced without a "teacher", "master" or "authority". There are realizations that I have had over these past few years - things that have come to me completely out of the blue that I couldn't possibly know, but I do - that have helped to define my path and help me to understand, if even just a smidgen more, my relationship with the Divine."
Yes, for the past nearly 40 years I can relate to what you say here. That 'conversation with the Divine' for me started with sobriety, and that was the first of many,many 'directions' I was given over the years. As you say 'out of the blue', because there was only that spot of blue sky in a clowd filled sky when I first 'heard' what I needed to 'hear.'
Just love your writing my friend.

A good point. Very few of us are probably spiritually mature enough to even ask the right questions. Thanks for stopping by.

That's kind of what I'm talking about. One's experience with "God" is the ultimate in authority. Thanks for stopping by.

sannhet, I'm right with you on this...yes, we have a Pastor to whom we're
accountable, BUT, above him, and above all, is God Himself....and if He moves in our lives in a strange but wonderful way, we test the spirits on our own believing we're spiritually mature enough to know the real from the phony...

Again you've taken a gutsy stance that goes against all religious convention! But you have explained your view in terms that should not provoke anyone. Talk to God directly?

I believe in letting God be my final authority, as I wrote today in my post. His Word is His love letter to me and that's what sets my spirituality -- a relationship with God, based on love.
