After my breakup with my ex bf of 6 years, I had similar experience. It was a toxic relationship with a narcissistic person and I suffered a lot. I left my job and lived all by myself for a month and kept asking why me? One night I saw a hooded figure above my head when I was sleeping and I wasn't afraid. I asked him "why me?" It replied" forgive it, you are the one who can do this" and it vanished. I don't think this figure knew the language I spoke, but it tried it's best to convey the message. In next few days I realised what had said. A person who is never hurt by anyone cannot hurt another soul. Those who carry pain and emotional baggage in heart unconsciously hurt the other person. If I forgive the experience I had, I would be a loving person again. It was not easy to do that but somehow after that I didn't suffer like most others in similiar situation suffer. It was a blessing. I am still doing the inner work and everyday comes with new hope and better me.

"Human responsibility is about using the imagination that we have been given to help create a better world." Nice

When you hear that voice , it full of love , love unlike any love on earth . But it is always an ongoing thing , it may happen or twice and faith has to carry you the rest of the way!

I asked for a long time and Jesus answered. The spirit of God in the heart of men is something more than Gold. How precious is the friendship I have with Christ

God has spoken to me 3 times, the first when I was down & out & contemplating suicide, he said It is not yet your time. The second years later while almost asleep He said read the bible & the most recent was last year before meditating I asked God to be with me & He said I Am You! I is a profound experience unlike no other.

I suffer from severe anxiety where it gets to the point where I honestly think I'm dying and the only way I can calm myself down a little is hearing stuff about god and heaven and near death experiences. Because in a state of thinking your dying you want comfort of an afterlife, and it helps sometimes.

Every single time that I go against my "intuitive" voice, God advice, whatever it is inside my heart's "mind", I mess up.

In times of desperation I have called out to God, and sure enough I received a response as to what to do. I felt renewed, refreshed, at peace, and knowing what I should do. So she's right, "ASK, WAIT, LISTEN AND RECEIVE."

I love the universality, the inclusive nature, of her eloquent, down to earth message - not religion as a mere belief system, but as love, truth and practical wisdom in living. She gives a great non-arrogant instruction that appears to me as the essential theme of authentic religion and spirituality. Very uplifting in spirit, clarifying in true humility and illuminating in demonstrating a loving, non-dogmatic and liberating vision!

When god speak to you, you will know 100% it was god or else it was not god, god give you a feeling that tells you that it is him.

"Ask, wait, listen and receive." It is similar to what Eli told Samuel to say, "Speak, Lord, Thy servant heareth."

Thank God for you doing Ted talk. God answered my question through you. Praise be to God and God bless you. Candy

It's true, "seek and you shall find".

It has left us with a beautiful message that Where we seek for solutions in outside world, the real clues are glimming in inside world... Believe in yourself is Believing in God

Such a beautiful talk, and so important for people to understand. I try to comfort people because so many fear God, or fear death, but I Am a living testament after a death experience having my child, I was overdosed on anesthesia in an emergency c section, it killed me Michael Jackson style. They had to take my child, then try to get me back. Long story short, where I went was utter Bliss and joy, pure exhilarating unconditional love. There was no religion, BUT some people want or need religion, so we should never disparage people's choices really, just understand EVERYONE is here to experience what they came here to experience. It's so much more simple than people realize. Some souls are just curious, some came for a small mission, some for huge missions, why as religious people should never pull someone else off their Pat of what they chose to experience here on Earth. I was in youth ministry when I died had been for 15 years. After death I removed myself and chose no religion at all, although Jesus was in my experience, he was NOTHING like I had been taught all my life, he was numerous and loving and simple with no agenda except to show us ALL love, especially to those who hate him. I got to meet my son there before he was born, I got to see things I can never describe in the detail I saw them, but most of ALL fear was gone I was so fearless after. Death did not have any pain or fear. Coming back did.

I perfectly understand this. thanks for sharing

Your attention to someone shows that you care for them and when you care people feel safe around you. Whether you are a parent, son/daughter or a friend to someone in need, listen cause love can heal.

Closer than hands and feet is the Omnipresent Self we long to meet. God bless. 🦋

Congratulations on your conversation! I am no saint but I think I'm on the right path because I don't hear a voice talking to me but my feelings telling me to try to be and do better because we all need to know God's love and to try and do the next right thing. God has carried me SO MANY TIMES and I am grateful. my angels help a LOT too! Peace.

I personally see that voice as my intuition, a subconscious part of my brain, but I suppose that's a result of my secular nature. Honestly it doesn't really matter what you call it, it's important to listen to either way and I can see that it's been very important to you in your life.

I have been asking for God to speak to me and answer my questions since childhood. But unfortunately I am not blessed to have him speak to me. U r so lucky he spoke to you! I have asked and been persistent about it and been patient. I'm 46 and still waiting. To listen

We believe what we choose to believe. I thank you for not insisting I believe what you insist on believing. That is the essence of open-mindedness and self-transparency. You proved yourself to be a good and compassionate person who has value to humankind. That is what serves to make me admire you.

This talk was really beautiful, encouraging, and engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope that it inspires you as much as it has me.

This is one of the most important messages I've ever heard! God created us in his image. Spirit that resides in a physical body! God lives in us! Wow thank you so much!

Ask, Wait, Listen...Receive-- a tried and true formula . Makes life fun ! I just Know We Can Lift This World out of darkness by Each Soul Walking in the Light !! And awakening our Creative Gifts !

Dean Tracey was amazing. I can't wait to tell her so and thank her for sharing her story.

my dear Tracy Lynn your message spoke volumes about listening to that inner voice. yes God did speak to you and now you're giving a message that we all need to know we are all brothers knit together and created by almighty God who speaks to us if we only listened it could save our life. that same enter voice spoke to me October 1st 2017 1 1/2 years ago. I was on my way into my car after my long workday. I was expected to meet with friends after work to see a dear friend who was in hospice care. I was sitting in the car at the point of exhaustion and spoke to myself saying I am so tired I think I'd rather go home and sleep it's been a very hard day it was then I Heard a Voice say to me do not go home go to the house with your friends. I then said to that voice oh dear all I do is go go go I never find time to rest. I was almost about to fall asleep in the car. an extreme tiredness came over me. I heard the voice again saying even louder at this time go now go you must go. I then said back to myself of that inner voice, this is ridiculous I need to go home I'm too tired. or maybe I should just rest here in the car for 10 minutes and shut my eyes. then I heard the voice again it was so loud and clear and demanding of me to go right now do not wait go now. go to the house with your friends now go go go. that is exactly how I heard it. I felt as if I didn't go my friend would die who was in hospice and I would feel guilty not seeing her. tired as I was I started up the car and headed to Yarmouth Port where she lived and all my friends were there. I remember vaguely being there and I do remember we shared Memory Lane with our friend. when it was time to leave walking out onto the deck I suddenly remember saying I feel so dizzy that's when I fell backwards and died. I was told one of the nurses started CPR on me did mouth-to-mouth as well she kept working on me until the EMTs arrived 38 minutes later I still did not have a pulse the EMTs tried 5 defibrillators and still no pulse everyone who was around me started to cry and pray out loud that God would bring me back. They Carried Me Down The Long staircase to the ambulance and told everyone that I am dead there is no hope. one of the EMTs decided to try one more time with a defibrillator and I received a pulse. I was rushed to the hospital and when I woke up face to face with the doctor he told me I had cardiac arrest I was one out of a hundred that would survive from such a long time not coming back. he asked me if I saw Jesus?? my reply was yes I was just with him. the doctor smiled he would come back later he wants to hear all about it. now I will share my encounter With Jesus. when I died it was not death but another life beyond this life greater and more profound been any Joy I have ever experienced in life. I remember and I will always remember this changed my entire life. I remember when I passed out and literally died however I was not dead in my opinion because I lived within the scope of transition being faced with all my relatives standing next to me my grandparents my father who was in a uniform home I've never remembered because he died when I was just a baby in the Normandy and my father's parents all of whom I remember to photographs. they were so happy to see me they help a glass up in their hands and clicking the glasses saying we're so happy you're here we knew you were coming we are getting a table set for you !! all around me where little children romping around in white dresses with lace-trimmed all around and flowers in their hair they were skipping with joy they were also animals dogs and cats that were once mine they're also surrounding me and I remember many of them greeting me with affection. it was then that this bright beaming white light surrounded all of us and it focused on me and I could feel my body coming out of my body and I saw myself lying on the ground with people trying to help me everyone was crying I then found myself in the arms of Jesus he was so magnificent I knew it was him I saw the wounds on his hands as he held me I became This Little Child in his arms. it was a Father's Love I never had. he was the father and mother who comforted me I looked into his eyes as he was looking out into the world I knew what he was thinking and he knew my thoughts as well!! It was amazing I felt his sorrow for all humankind as he looked out into the world is eyes were so heavy with tears as if he wanted to save the world and many were not listening they went about it their own way. he then turn me around while I was still in his arms I felt safe with him he was my hero my Superman that's how I thought when he was holding me. it was then I was face-to-face with this beautiful gate filled with roses of all kind and I could still remember the fragrance of that gate beyond the gate I could hear voices clapping and cheering saying hurry let's set the table she is almost here I no it was my relatives preparing my arrival to greet me at the banquet they are preparing for me. above the gate I could see the sky all lit up as like in Aurora of colors and within that rainbow of Lights I could hear thousands of angels singing a cappella the most beautiful sound I ever heard. then Jesus return me face back I was at the feet of him and he showered me with warm water it must have been holy water or the River of Life for the gift of life whatever was it was filling my body with life I had my hands on his feet he had sandals on and I could see the wounds on his feet where he also suffered and died for me and he resurrected he did not die just like I did not die I was in the spirit with him. I was with the resurrected Christ the Jesus who is the mediator between God and man he opens the gate to heaven when it's our time. it was then I heard his voice and he said to me, my child my child, it is not your time yet you have yet so much more to do for me. it took me nearly a year to recover I had to learn how to walk again get my balance back and start over. I have shared my experience with many people since then even in the hospital many have listened and so has my doctor they all said this transforms not only my life but there's as well. people who take care of people are truly angels on Earth. I can go on about my story but God has placed so many people in my life I have become extremely sensitive to their feelings and their problems and sometimes it becomes overwhelming and I have learned to pray with them and for them and Miracle seemed to happen one after the other. I can see no that God is still using me for such a purpose to draw people closer to him but we are living in a very divided world he would like all of us to reconnect to become brothers and sisters and to love one another and begin to believe there is and almighty God who loves us all so much. ask and you shall receive the kingdom of God. saying the Our Father the prayer that Jesus gave us has so much meaning it tells it all in one little prayer God speaks to us. I pray God bless whoever reads this and it will help them to carry on and may God bless you tremendously whoever reads this

"Jesus answered, I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." ~John 14:6 You are a beautiful lady, Tracy! That voice is the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, He is one with Jesus and the Father. Our Father in heaven is the one and only God, there is no other ... ~Isaiah 45:5 "For God so loved the world, He gave His one and only son, so that whoever believes in Him will not parish, but have eternal life." ~John 3:16

I had the same experience in a dream the night before someone died in our family and I saw the family member after seeing god the father. I also know a women who had the same experience as me. So I know what it’s like.but it is hard to comprehend.

Thank you Tracey Lind. I totally get what you're saying here. I had a very similar experience and it blew me away.... and caused me to stop and ask and listen on a regular basis and that wisdom has never let me down. It's deceptively simply. "The Voice" has a different quality and gravity than the other voices in our head. Thank you and bless you.

This is exactly what happened to neale donald walsh, check out his conversations with God series it will blow you away! I'm am so grateful to be, to love, I believe

"Do not judge or you will be judged, for by the measure you judge others you shall be judged." Jesus loves us all and reaches out to us where we are. Good talk. I could relate because I have had many such conversations with God myself. Many. I asked God how to find a place where I had no idea where it was in a big Chinese city where few speak english and He guided me to the place. I followed His voice and it guided me to where I needed to be. Jesus said, "My sheep know my voice."

Thank you Tracey I found this talk very intresting

As for me may i add 2 steps after listening, and that is " believe and then declare that you received such a wonderful gift from the Holy Wisdom of whom i called Holy Spirit! = the messenger of the Almighty Creator and say Thank You !😊

The Very Reverend Tracey Lind is one of the most innovative thinkers in Cleveland. This was an awesome event and her talk was by far the best.

Thank you for sharing. I love this.

Thank you! I was needing this! 💖💖💖

God, or the inner voice speaks to all people, but 10% of them recognize the voice to be foreign of themselves. 90% believe it's their intelligence, or intuition. But I thank you mam for your brilliant TED talk, you put the word out better than I or many could. It good to know, that I am not alone. My life has been saved a few times in a miraculous way, and I got to know the higher power since. I am happy to have had that extra help. We all need to tune into that power that is at our side like a guardian angel once in a while.

She speaks the truth and the one and only way

Thank you for a great opportunity of not buying it. Not because lack of faith but because of the Words: "By their fruits you will get knowledge of them".

Thank you Tracey :)

An inspiration and example of God, through you, has spoken to me.

God is here now to take away all our pain. The key is to let God know how you Love Him/Her by understanding the suffering down through the ages. God suffered more than all of us put together we just suffer this short time. To be born again is to let God know we put Him/Her first before everything. I know that Mc Donalds. I am my brothers keeper. Moses said , "Reconcile with your brother before you place an offering on the alter of God.. Thanks for a beautiful talk.

Hmm I always thought it was easy to have a conversation God and everyone did it. I talk to him all the time and his answers are immediate for me and I ask him some pretty hard questions with really complex answers. He is a good being and I love God very much because the feeling is mutual. I simply can never deny his existence because I know if I did I would deny my own existence in the same breath.

Absolutely wonderful. And as a channeling medium, YES TO ALL SHE SAID!!

God is the sum of all imperfections. It is no more complicated than that.

Thank You Lord 👑🙏

You inspired me to focus on doing more channeling again!

I grew up knowing that there is some sort of spark, spinning wooden top inside is the visual, in of all of us. It is in every creature that exists. How can we be so narrow-minded to think that something all-knowing exists only as we choose to see it? I remember questioning each religion I was exposed to, thankful for a mom who let us find our own path. I remember questioning why we pet animals at the zoo but eat pork chops for dinner. We are much more alike than different.

He’s lovin it

I am he and he is I, believe and it shall be so.

Thank you for sharing! God is awesome❤️🙏

"Faith is a willingness to receive." 14:07

Hey guys, take a chill pill. If her story makes you agitated, check yourself out inside. What about belief bothers you? Ask yourself! Get to know yourself better. "To be honest and transparent about myself." Who are you to yourself? And why does it matter?

What a beautiful amazing lesson. BRAVO!

Beautiful, thank you so much.

Outstanding..🙏

I wonder what criteria God uses to select the special people he talks or appears to. How special do I hv to get what’s the application process .....I’ve watched many of these videos seems like there is a pattern

Thank You so much 😊

RESPECT THE DIGNITY OF EVERY HUMAN BEING AND ALL CREATION...JAN 2021

Just what I needed today - great wisdom from the ages...

I AM G HAVE TO BELIEVE GLAD THAT I DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE YOU , SIMPLY BECAUSE I KNOW IT - THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME AND HAVE THE COURAGE TO LET OTHERS KNOW IT

Thank you for sharing

Wow, i understand her perfectly. Thank you

Thank you. 🙏❤🙂

I've been asking God aka the universe for help and guidance for over three decades... for as long as I can remember. Once in awhile, I feel like I've gotten some odd, indirect answer which required much interpretation at best to even consider it that and which any outside entity could easily dismiss it away. There has been one consistency though. The answers always come when I need them the most. When I am at my lowest and almost unable to continue fighting. I think perhaps, this time, the answer is simply that this video was listed in my recommended videos.

Beautiful !

Thank you for your inspiring talk

Thank you so much

Thank you for this Ted Talk

Wow... I have had that experience. Its only Jesus.Kind of like a voice came inside and it wasnt my thoughts. I was in the new age and nothing worked. I decided to ask JESUS CHRIST a question and heard a voice immediately. It was amazing. Jesus is the only way people. Jesus Christ was actually God in the flesh and he lives and loves us so much. x

Beautiful. Thank you. So true.

"How I met God in a mcdonalds" MURICA

That was great!!!

What a beautiful way to say I talk to my self and it's the only time I actually listen

Thank you, Rev. Lind! God bless you!

Please keep up these good works and I'm so thankful that you are a christian!^^

Every Human can hear this voice, whether it's the voice of God, if only human listen to the voice rather then challenging the voice. Agreed that GOD or generator,operator distroyer is in each and everyone. Just have to listen to the inner voice. Thank You for this open speech.

when it's God, there is no question.

That is truth every time I speak of point personality I feel guilty, kind of the line, as you say, you develop habit me to, before I start any conversation I need to ask myself ''What would say to this person''? Than my friends say I am vase person, and clever and smart.

God Is Good!! It's Nothing Like Using The Imagination Of The ( Human Mind ) To Create A Beautiful Heaven 🌞 🌈 ☁ After Dealth. I Say If You Believe In The ( Good Man Up ☝ Stairs 🕊 ) He'll Get You To Your Destiny. AMEN.

Wonderful this Very video has made a difference.

Amazing story

Wonderful.

That's right; imagining creates reality.

Very enlightening!

This is my short story Tracy...I remember smoking heavily, being stressed with men that failed me...I did asked my God to help me quit smoking ( I placed my last cigarette on Bible and took pictures of it)..I spoke to my god that day to please help now...Yes he did help me by speaking to him...The last relationship I was trying to build did not work...I remember talking to my god alone at home to leave men alone...three days after he sent a older gentleman in my life...I feel his love and we are still together ❤❤❤

The gates are narrow

Im praying for healing and i wish god would just hear me already! Should i go to mcdonalds to pray so things would speed up a bit? Lol

Same thing happened to John Denver in "Oh God" !

I met G-d in a Mc Donald's too. He was a homeless man who was hungry. He talked to me to. It had nothing to do with self-delusion, illusion, falsehoods, or me, myself, and I. In other words--he didn't talk to me for 30 minutes, ad infinitum, about "me" in a selfish sort of way, he talked to me about his needs, and his being afraid and cold and lonely. And I bought him a burger, and I listened. Because that's what I'd do for G-d. That's G-d's style--he will ask of you, before he will play into your ego by indulging you in a 30 minute conversation about only yourself. I'm happy this woman found a way to give to others, but if she had to have a 30 minute conversation inside her head with herself about her egotistical self and where she was headed, that's not G-d, that's self-delusion.

Love your testimony ❤️

Very true and inspiring. Thank you

I could really use that “inner voice” or “voice of G-d” about now.

I am not religious, although raised that way-I am very spiritual. I don’t know nor will I be so bold as to assume I know about who/what is out there but and this is one talk that was amazing...made sense....and was worded so well because I believe I have those conversations within myself. I don’t know if thats what it is but....that’s the closest description I’ve heard.

The Bible is how God talks to us, that is why he tells us to read it night and day. That way we would have a thorough knowledge of truth and no one could mislead us. Revelation 22:18,19; Psalms 1:2, we have a responsibility to know God's instructions, laws and principles. He is our Grand Instructor! John 17:3, it means our life.

like the way she sounded reasonable for first 5 minutes, then all fell apart.

I met the police in a McDonnalds in South Africa

My Mother is Protestant, my father Roman Catholic, and I now go to a Spiritualists church. So my experience is mixed. I think putting a name to what you believe separates. If your faith is a caring, loving, supportive one and you have no religion at all. That’s from God and it’s your church and faith and anchor in life. You don’t have to put a name to love or how you choose to express that feeling. If it’s unconditional, it’s from God.

great talk thank you for sharing!
