On My Experience: Hearing the Voice of G-d

Exodus 20:19. "...Moses would speak and God would answer him with a voice." I literally heard the amazingly resonant voice of the Lord G-d say, "I AM punishing you," meaning me in particular, ~2,000 CE.

My response was similar to that of David in Psalm 22:2 "My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?..." but I asked it in a different way. I said, "Why are you punishing me?" to the Almighty G-d.

Why was I so audacious before the Lord? Because I was as low as a worm! I couldn't remember to eat and bathe. If I was any lower, I would have been dead.

When the Lord spoke to me it was unlike anything I had ever heard before. Upon hearing the speech of the Lord, I instantaneously changed from atheist to believer. I oriented my entire life to give praise to G-d.

To seek out G-d, I transferred from Rutgers to Gordon College, a Protestant school, but I found myself trying to hide my actual beliefs, which are not Christian, but what Judaism teaches.

Three Favorite Ways I Think of Gd in Earthly Terms.

Granted, He Is Greater and Even Beyond These Things, but This Is a Start.

1. Mentally invoking the vastness of outer space, such as through viewing images recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope

2. Thinking of the sun’s energy and/or the energy that may be unleashed via Higgs Boson bombs

3. Realizing that the universe is continually created from nothing such that we are completely dependent on Him for provision at every instant
