thanks spiritual78 - so maybe we can be the mouthpiece of God for a friend, then...... or them to us, right? I think that's true, because I've had that kind of experience before.

I believe God has never left mankind alone without divine guidance.. So from even before written history God has revealed through His Messengers what mankind has need of at crucial stages in our developement.

Well, I suppose that one ought not to use the word "communicate" to refer to the expression of the force of gravity on us, or the resistance of solid matter that prevents us from being pulled to the center by that gravity. And yet, gravity and structure are features of matter that act upon us in quite important ways. So in that sense, I am aware of the earth by virtue of my experience of a feature of something (mass and/or structure) that we both have in common. That, to me, is a kind of communication, although it is in no wise deliberate.

So bear with me a moment, and allow us to expand the use of the word "communicate" that far, meaning that communication from God could also include any means whatever through which we could be made aware of His existence.

Now, if we use that definition, and if the answer is that there is no such means of "communication" between God and us, then my statement holds true -- it would not matter whether God existed or not.

In that case, though, I don't see how God could be said to exist at all. Existence is typically defined as that which exerts some kind of causal efficacy on the world, either directly or indirectly. If we take causal efficacy as communication, then in that sense to not communicate is to not exist.

According to my knowledge and understanding ,God can communicate with people and offcourse their should be a medium between God and the mankind through which communication could take place.

Just as our communication depends on the longitudnal waves that take place in air and our voice and sound travels through air and reaches the receipent ,since air is acting as a medium between people.

But in case of God and mankind, since God is not confined in this physical world, He communicates indirectly with mankind through His special and important servants(Prophets and Messengers) and reveals divine messeges to them so that they could communicate that messege with mankind.

God sends angel Gabreal to Prophets and Messengers with His divine messege and Prophets and Messengers after grasping that pure messege of Allah(God) conveys it to mankind.

The Qur'an does tell us that God communicates with humans through inspiration or from behind a veil or through a messenger that delivers God's message to man (Al-Shooraa 51: 42), but it does not tell us the exact nature of how such communication takes place. In fact, the Qur'an also tells us that because the communication between God and man is an act of God - the nature and method of whose actions can be beyond the scope of human understanding and comprehension - therefore, man, in his present frame of reference, cannot understand how this communication takes place (Al-Israa 17: 85).

I hope this helps,

God communicates with us constantly

We are busy, looking the other way

God is perfect. Why would God communicate? With whom? About what?

In the light of oneness what need would there be to communicate? Do you think God communicates with itself?

I see communication a tool of and in duality. It serves a purpose until it no longer serves a purpose. With other words communication (inner and outer) is a bridge, that one may cross, but eventually leaves behind.

Thank you. That is, I think, my point.
