Here are some more signs:

So is there a constant flow of communication in our heads or just on occasion? How do I distinguish from my mind making up words and God? I have heard believers say (as a believer myself at one time) that the words from God will mostly be those that bring unwelcome calls to action. For instance, give a 25 percent tithe this Sunday rather than 10 percent. But that seems to be an ambiguous way to go about life. If this communication is so self-evident, why are any of us here (on this forum)? I once fervently believed he was there, but I could only take the utter silence while "listening" for so long that it became apparent to me that I was talking to the walls. And they weren't much help. Did I not do it the right way? Not believe enough? Should I have stood on leg while reciting the Lord's prayer. Maybe, just maybe then, God would have decided to speak to me personally.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. — T.S. Eliot
"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir
"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"
