The word of the Lord came to me and he said thus

I the Lord your God am beyond all form. As long as you look for me in form, any form whether external or internal (seen with your mind's eye), you will not find me and I will appear to not exist.
But if you can look not at any form and see what lies beyond it, then you will be blessed indeed. This is why I told you to not worship any graven images and not have any other gods before you. The difference between I the Lord your God and the other gods that were worshiped is that the other gods had various forms and therefore had no real power, for whichever power they may have had ultimately came from me, the Lord your God who is beyond all form.

That's a lot of words to describe something formless.

Please expound on this experience. How did it happen? Were you on any drugs?

It sounds like it could be a PCP trip but I'm not sure...

I had smoked some weed earlier in the night and was still a bit stoned when I wrote this.
Whenever I smoke pot, it allows me to meditate very deeply. I turn my mind inwards on God and generally experience extreme states of spiritual ecstasy and bliss, which lately have been carrying over to my normal sober awareness also. I am a non dualist, so in my better moments I see no distinction between myself, God and the world.
If you would like more information on my specific meditation and prayer methods, feel free to ask and I will expound upon them.
Anyway, the gift of prophecy is one of the spiritual gifts. The way it is accomplished is by entering into a prophetic state of consciousness, which I suppose could be described as a sort of trance or a level of contemplation. As all your attention is focused on God, you begin to see that in his mere presence, actions automatically complete themselves. That is, in the light of intense consciousness the mind becomes under its control and this allows you to deliver God's Word such as I did for the first time last night.
I intuitively understood that I was in a state of consciousness that was similar to what was utilized by the prophets, in order to deliver the Word of the Lord. This is how much of the Old Testament was written, books like Isaiah, Jeremiah, etc.
