hmm... if I ever to hear "another voice" that is not the one I know all my life, which tone or accent it would have? I tried imagine any, I couldn't... to begin with, to "imagine it" it already grants that is self made, that the voice is still there alone; if ever having to hear another voice there could be no way obliged necessity to be in this language probably, in this frequency, etc... The problematic as far as i know is there could not be a way to verify with flesh and bones about cases in other people where they claim they indeed can...

yeah, it's quite an interesting thing... the voice... you kinda have to persist with it and expect a response and eventually sometimes you get something that you don't expect, and that surprise is the signal that it has possible external origin anyone who sells you the idea that they have mastered it should be treated with suspicion, i think my personal theory on it is that you only listen to the voice of God first hand, which means you have to actually try to hear it the Bible also makes reference to this in places as the "still small voice" and this ties together with the instruction to pray out loud, and where this is advised also in some places it talks about the importance of privacy, and hinting at the idea that public praying as theatre is not a good thing, per se

knocked me off guard the use of praying as voice... of the voice 😅 then yes ideally i could sign the idea that praying not necessarily hast to be alike the mendincants did only... but there i think neither at concert halls with acrobatics if not is clearly labeled as circus

yeah, it can't really be stated without undue emphasis that you have to engade your lungs and vocal chords, the instructions you can find in the bible are quite clear, and you can probably find similar stuff in other places as well, it was just Phillipians 4:6-7 that i became aware of it
