My communication is an ongoing thing, continuous. It's not as if one event occurred and that was that. It was more like waking up from a sleep, gradually becoming aware of someone standing there. This 'person' had been standing there all along, and even speaking. But my awareness grew to where I began to communicate.

And this communication doesn't just take the form of words... The universe communicates all ways (always).

Am I making it all up? The surprising answer is yes, because we create everything we experience. We are the universe creating and experiencing itself. As I said elsewhere, God will appear as you see God.

Those who only believe what appears in peer-reviewed journals believe in those journals and that process. The universe will never violate your beliefs about it. It will always be what you believe it to be. Not just what you SAY you believe, but what you REALLY believe. How does the universe know what you REALLY believe? It is you, and you are it.

I realize this is hard to 'get'. I was once a very hard-headed person. In college I finally told God, "I'm sorry, but I can't believe in you anymore." I just needed to go on FACT. Then I started delving into my own mind, and there in its depths I found... "God". Suddenly all the esoteric teachings, things Jesus had said, etc. became very clear to me, because I had had a direct experience of them.

You can discuss things all you want, but eventually the 'proof' is in the direct experience of Life. When you "communicate with the universe", it is not only as real, but far more real than human life. You are tapping into the source of being itself. This is not something that can be conveyed well in words. It's something that people eventually go and experience for themselves.

You don't have to go into it believing, though. You merely need to suspend disbelief. You need to be open to what may be there - faith (the willingness to walk into the darkness without knowing).

Close your eyes and say "hello" to the universe. Don't be surprised if you get a reply. And don't be discouraged if you can't yet hear the reply. Say "hello", from your heart, and mean it. FEEL it. Feel the universe as you say hello, then BE quiet for a moment. See how that feels.
