Oh, beauty! So, the Jews being proactive, creative and deep thinkers must be taught (as we Mormons are taught, and we teach our children) the scientific procedures for obtaining personal revelation. Yes?I think it would be a mistake for people to think that Judaism believes He stopped talking to us. Rather, we believed we received no more Prophets. Prophet is a special role.
Baha'is, too, I would think. Certainly the Hindu and Buddhist teachings focus on opening the third eye, cultivating the inner voice. Many "mainline" Christian sects urge seeking and listening to the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit.
I have learned much about my own faith and scriptures by shining the lights of other faiths on them. Nothing would delight me more than having a discussion here at CF about the most effective, efficient ways to obtain reliable personal revelation. How to know the voice of God as Abraham, Moses, Arjuna, Gautama Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi, Mohammad, Mother Teresa, Joseph Smith, Jesus Christ, and many, many others have.
You may only think the first 2 of those named really did it. Others may think that only 1 or 2 of the others did it, but wouldn't it be wonderful to compare notes with a number of other truth seekers here about how this great leader prepared himself/herself to receive the revelations they claimed to have received?
