God Communicating With Us

[The_Catholic]

This may sound kind of silly but I was thinking about how God communicates with us. He does so by human comminication. It’s as if another human being is speaking to us. It’s the easiest way for us to understand Him. But I wonder, is there a level higher or above and beyond human communication? We seem to have the most complex system of communication, opposed to animals, because of how our brains evolved.

But God is not a human being. So how does He and His angels communicate? Obviously He and they don’t have brains as we do. It must be something totaly beyond our comprehension. It’s mind boggling to me to ponder it.

I also wonder that if He communicates with animals, He must speak as if He’s an animal, like a dog to a dog, just as He speaks to us as a human to a human.

I know many of you will probaly think this is funny, but it’s all very interesting to me.

It is not a silly question at all.
The brain has an “organ of veneration” which responds to spiritual experiences. It is by no means implausible that there is some sort of sixth sense which is attuned to spiritual phenomena. How it works is, of course, pure speculation. However it is certainly possible to be subconsciously aware of things - humans have a very primitive echo location sense, for example, which gives us some protection against bumping into walls in pitch blackness. However we cannot consciously sense this.

As for angels, it is not clear whether they are ethereal beings, or made of a similar substance to us. Thinking is moving away fromthe idea of heaven as an abstract realm, and more to the idea of a parallel world.
