How would I go about enabling this part of me (I suppose all humans are born with it, right?) to experience this communication with this god? Is it at all possible that some do not have it?
Quote:My wife and I care for a beautiful young lady, you could say we've adopted her and that means the problems she has also. When she was born, very premature, she weighed 3lbs. and very mentally challenged, at the age of 30 she she developed schizophrenia, can you even imagine what her 5 year old mind was going through. Then she was institutionalized 400 miles away from home and anyone she knew, now what do you think her mind was going through. Well I can tell you it was about as awful as things could get, we've been dealing with this for three years now and she is doing so much better. People who knew her before she came to us say, they can't believe she's the same girl they knew. So yes I know all about schizophrenia and the effect it has on people. Now you can take your diagnosis and stuff it where the sun doesn't shine.
A wonderful act.
Quote:I'm completely sane and a fairly smart person and know and understand my experiences. In actuality I feel sorry for you because you've never experienced anything from the Creator of the universe.
Does everyone that claims to have experienced something from the creator, actually have experienced something from the creator? Or are there some percentage of those who claim they have experienced something from the creator, who have not? Like they may misinterpret some other natural brain state, have a transient hallucinatory state not related to a diagnosable mental illness, or actually have a mental illness that causes them to believe they experienced something from the creator, for example.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
