Theese days, a lot of times one is advised to write your question to God and then write what you hear as the answer....this is bogus because it is difficult to tell if the voice you hear is God’s Satan’s or your own.

God speaks through the Bible. Sometimes the Holy Spirit will nudge one to do something here on earth and if you check it against the Bible, and pray, you can act on it

>> If you bothered to read the Philokalia, you would see that it warns against fantasizing and visualizations as being from demons, as do the Desert Fathers.

It’s obvious that you don’t understand Orthodox monasticism.

What are you saying? I have not heard of the Desert Fathers and yes, I was saying the advice was false advice or did you not understand what I was saying.
