Do you have a relationship on daily basis with the creator/god/cosmic intelligence ?
I mean in a tangible way and not only an intellectual and conceptual way. Mystics talk about this, they often invoke the creator even in everyday things, and talk about the creator like as being a very best friend.

Yogananda  : Cultivate His acquaintance. It is possible to know God just as well as you know your dearest friend. That is the truth.

I feel in the last couple years, I have begun to develop a deeper and more intimate relationship with the creator. I don't always succeed in staying at a high enough vibration that I can hear the creator speak through the sacred silence, but I'm getting better and more adept at hearing it all the time.

So what has it been like? Or, what are the advantages I've noticed?

1) It often feels nowadays like the environment will bend over backwards for me, almost like it welcomes me wherever I go. I will just show up to places at the 'right time'. (It's sort of like going to visit a good friend of yours and they try to make sure everything is 'just right' for you to enjoy your visit.)
2) I basically almost never feel alone anymore. It really weirds out some of my family, friends, and acquaintances because I can literally go weeks at a time without any human contact whatsoever and I don't feel lonely in the slightest (this is a big change, but it never really felt unnatural). I feel like I'm always with a trusted and nonjudgmental friend.
3) Sometimes I feel absolutely content to simply Be or to just dwell in my own beingness. There have been days when I have literally sat on my couch almost all day in just absolute bliss (that's not to say I didn't have something on the TV, like a documentary or something, or possibly a book I was perusing, or something of that nature, but it was all just background fodder, and I would have been completely happy just dwelling in my own sense of presence, accoutrements excluded.
4) I often feel like the universe is supplying educational narratives about nearly anything I place my attention on for a significant amount of time (what we might call "psychic information"), but it feels to my perception that various mysteries both small and great are being casually explained by the universe in a very entertaining, yet nonchalant manner.
5) It's almost hard to get mad at people anymore because peoples defense mechanisms are a thousand times more apparent, and so its like I can barely even fathom the concept of blame a lot of the time (it's just like, "well yeah, of course they are responding that way" that's how the psychological structure is set up. There is just sympathy.).

Yeah, that's about it.
