God and Languages
How can God talk to us? We have 5 senses and we humans use at least 3 of them for languages (touch for example is Braille).
What is really neat is that language is transcendent and as we use words inside our head, God can skip the "middle man" of physical transmission media and insert His words in our head as we use our own words (dreams, day dreams, solving problems, talking to oneself, etc.). I believe God speaks to us through other media (Bible, prophets, nature, etc.) but we also need to be attuned to Him speaking to us directly inside of us!
