In that space of meditation, you may receive a gift from the Spirit. It is not a special state of grace, nor is it
your reward for reaching a spiritual plateau.
Rather, it is simply the Spirit meeting you so that he might meet your
needs and the needs of those whom you know.
Some, in that place, might speak in tongues. This is known by some as glossolalia, a form
of speech that might sound like babbling or an unknown language. It seems strange at first, but one gets used
to it after a while. It is the Spirit
making a request of the Divine through you.
It is especially granted those who do not know how to pray, or what to
say. The Spirit then gives the gift of
praying without conscious thinking activity, allowing the Divine to act,
despite our ignorance.
Some might hear the voice of the Spirit. In the deafening silence of the mind, the
Spirit is free to speak and to direct.
To some, the Spirit might send a vision or dream (if asleep in the
Spirit). To others the Spirit might give
a direct word.
Whatever the case, the exercise is to keep listening, to not
allow your concerns to overwhelm what the Spirit is accomplishing in you.
