I do agree with this, my own "personal experience but you don't have to wait to die to talk with God."
I don't have any particular religion, but do agree there's no need to wait to talk with God. At least that has been my experience. Strangely enough, this really came to me at the same time as I started to uncover my own details of past lives. It had been kind of abstract or theoretical before that point. But during a time when I was struggling to make any kind of sense of this life, very difficult times when I felt I could not go on another day without some sort of explanation, I started to pray. I did not even believe in God. But I'd run out of other options.
Sometimes I get answers in dreams, but other times the response is instantaneous, I mull over some problem or question and get an answer right away, just a thought coming into my mind. These things tend to come as a surprise, often a different way of looking at things is suddenly clear, and unexpected. Or just support, a kind of strength and encouragement, that is harder to describe as it is not words, but something else.
Of course these topics are endlessly debated, and I'm not really looking to get into any long discussion, just to add my point of view.
