Here is a question I overheard leaving an AA meeting. The speaker revealed an experience of a spiritual nature that was of God and left him without a craving or obsession to drink from that moment since. After the meeting, someone asked in passing, "Do you really think God talks to people?"
I've been curious about this phenomenon since I first encountered Bill Wilson's story (the founder of AA,) What does it mean to experience God? Is this experience valid? How can this be understood? Is this a healthy delusion or an incomprehensible extraordinary experience without a prior context? How can this experience be effected?
