Like for instance you will say something like "I heard a voice..." or speak about a very direct answer to questions you have.
Does that make any more sense?
Yah, I thought that was what you meant....I experience this also.
I guess I am wondering if it has always been that way for you? When you first discovered your path was it like "bam" direct experience or has it increased over time?
Apollo is the only deity of whom I've experienced the most intense, encompassing, pervasive presence. There are other deities of whom I've gotten a very distinct "presense" of, but it's more like standing at a conversational distance from an acquaintance in the same room. I've had experience somewhere between those two of Dionysus- as if he was trying to get to the point of the very pervasive, encompassing presence, but there was some buffer keeping him from getting quite that close.
Also, the "in my head" thing is sort of in two ways- the more common is that something comes into my head and the feeling is like it's a memory- as if I were recalling something I was told in conversation or read in a book, and the voice inside my head that "speaks" these words is generally the sound of my own voice in my head.
The other, I just think of as "plain voice" or "clear voice", and mostly get it from Apollo, though occasionally also from others- this voice is not mine, but the voice of whoever it's coming from, as it sounds in my mind.
These have all definitely been a matter of increase over time, not an immediate *smack*
