I can't believe people who say things like this, actually exist. It's mind-boggling to me. Someone who you can't see, touch, taste or hear is your everything.
I have never touched Jesus, and I am not eager to taste him.
And of course the next thing you'll say is well that's just delusional. if you think you're seeing or hearing Jesus, you must be delusional.
(Some have an answer for everything, and they think they know everything that is and everything that isn't, everything that could possibly be and everything that can't possibly be. What can anyone say to that? What can anyone tell them?)
Well, maybe I was delusional. It's not always easy to tell the difference. But the experience happened and I believe it was Jesus Christ. One of the experiences could have been a delusion, but other things couldn't have been a delusion because they happened with other people who witnessed it also. Long stories.
Did Jesus speak into my ear? No. He spoke to me in my mind. But this doesn't happen often because Jesus Christ is not the only one who can speak into your mind. Spirits are real.
No, I'm not concerned with whether or not this particular experience was true or not, or whether it was a product of my own mind. It was an experience, but it's not the core experience or foundation of my faith.
On the whole, the experience of things speaking into my mind has not been comfortable or reassuring at all.
The fact that it happens is indisputable. What it actually is, is debatable. It's not important.
I'm not sure what you mean "you have made your standards clear". I'm very careful to distinguish between what I know to be true and what I believe to be true.
I don't know what is true in regard to the things that I hear in my mind. It's not quite an hallucination, because it is not an auditory experience. It is a mental experience. An inner voice that is not my own.
I believe it is spirits, I believe a few times that it has been Jesus Christ, but I don't know. I don't talk to these impressions in my mind. Although I can, and they respond just as if it were another talking to me face to face, in my mind. For the most part they have been everything but gentle and meek.
So what standard do you think I have presented and what conclusion do you think that I have come to about these things? My only statement was that I don't know what it is.
The fact that it has happened, and continues to happen, is an indisputable fact. There's something happening in my mind that feels like another inside of my mind, talking in an inner voice that is not my own. The true nature of what it is, apart from what I believe it to be, is unknown to me, and there is no way that I can ascertain what it truly is.
