I ll chime in here.I have been trying my hardest to feel the holy ghost after prayer.

I pray alot and lately it has given me some answers.

It is not a voice that whispers in your ear literally.Like if i whispered in yours (at least for me). Holy ghost confers truth and lets you feel the spirit of god. That is two different things.

After prayer you have to learn to listen to what your soul feels.Pray with all you heart and then after just relax and a still small voice will enter in your head(kinda of like talking to yourself) but you will feel an uplifting spirit and you will know.

if an answers feels shaky and doest give that feeling then know it is satan as he has a hand in ruining your life.

Holy Spirit = Holy Ghost. Same thing, different name.

The first thing to understand about the Holy Ghost / Holy Spirit is that He is a God. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and His power and influence reaches everywhere. He is the third member of the Godhead: God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, God the Holy Ghost.

As for where the Holy Ghost is, I think that is best understood by comparing it to the Sun. He can speak to all of us and it doesn't matter where he is located, per se. His voice comes to anyone, all they need to do is "listen." We hear with our spirits, not with our physical senses. When he communicates with your spirit, it is usually a feeling. There are cases where he will speak in words, but usually it is powerful feelings.

That was kind of how I viewed the Trinity.... weird huh

big question.....this will probably be like explaining something to a child, but bear with me please!!

what, exactly, is the holy ghost??

is it responsible for whatever has been changing me?? is it a real person? the craziest things have been happening to me lately (ever since i came to a realization that there is a god and, i think, he loves me.

help me, please.....

i feel as though the whole of everything i have ever "known" to be true in my life is now on end. i feel shaky inside and i'm not sure what to make of it all.

:(

Everything that is good is of God. Never believe that some of the important truths you've been taught are wrong. The teachings of Sadartha Gautama have had an influence for good in this world, and may have been a preperatory teaching inspired of God. Now, it's up to someone to take these teaches, possibly enshrined in the Eightfold Path, and apply them to a loving Heavenly Father

Right View:

My understanding of life, and myself is that I am nothing. By myself I am lower than the dust of the earth. By realizing this I have realized that I need to utterly rely on my faith in Christ and God. It is my hope and belief that by doing this I can become sanctified, that I am adopted into the House of Israel, and become a son of God and joint-heir with Christ, able to inherit all the Heavenly Father has. This view makes me want to have faith in God even more, and makes me want to spread his goodness by service to my fellow man

Right Intention:

I should intend to submit every act and every work I do to the glory of God, who seeks for the glorification of his children.

Right Speech:

I should expound truth in all things. I should rely on the Holy Ghost to give me wisdom to say and do the right things in order to further the cause of truth.

Right Action:

As expounded upon by several philosophers and monks, right action is the abstaining of taking life, from stealing, and illicit sex.

I have never had any desire to do the first two. But the last one is trouble for most men. I am saving myself for the one who I will take to the temple one day. Her and I will be sealed with Holy Powers given to man by God. We shall be partners, working towards the same goal of being reunited with our Father. She will be my queen, and the mother of our family. And if I have one thing I can give her when I take her in marriage, it will be my chastity, my virtue, and my honour.

Right livelihood:

Work is an eternal principle. We often refer to the 'Work of God' or other such sayings without realizing that our own work, however seemingly tedious or insignificant, is preparing us for our own eternal work. Do work in honesty, in righteousness, with the realization that it is preparing one for eternity

The next three are about meditation. But these can also be applied to prayer.

We need to put effort into our prayer. We need to desire to know the truth, feel the love, and know the goodness of our Father. We need to want this more than anything else. We need to have the right mindset. And we need to concentrate on this.

Your buddhist right? Im sure you meditate right? well you know the feeling you get when everything around you feels in place and you are at peace? well thats kinda how it feels when you know the holy ghost is with you, whether it is in your decisions, thoughts, and actions.

Some nonLDS Churches have speculated that the Holy Spirit permeates the Universe, including all of us and is the Divine spark that binds us all together in harmony.
