during deep meditation and praying, you can feel the presence of God and his good spirits (being around you). Sometimes you can even hear them, being in the room. I cant explain it. But its really intense! (scary the first times it happens).
I feel like the "far world" (afterlife) is so close to our world (in another dimension though). All the passed spirits are watching over us and trying to guide us towards a more meaningfull life (a life of love and caring).
God always listens to us when our prayers come from the heart
I think he answers back by giving us signs.
Signs towards the road of truth.
