The Word of God

After the Pillar of Cloud comes:
After that it was all just blinding lights and averting of the eyes. Thorman knew he must be wrong, but he did not feel in awe, he just felt irritated and confused. He lost track of time, and lost track of his sense of self, like the temporary amnesia that sometimes came in the first moments of waking up. Everything else except the Word of God crept from his mind, there was no room for anything else.
When humans spoke, they passed air over their vocal cords which vibrated the molecules in the air, which were then picked up by the sensitive bones and things in the listener’s ears and converted into meaning in the listener’s brain. When God spoke, He had no need of all that sort of stuff, and there were no words, as words were a construct of man. There was only meaning, and it arrived directly in your soul, all in one go. Once, as a young man, Thorman had drank a yard of ale, and managed to put three pints of beer into his stomach in about twelve seconds. His stomach had not known what had hit it and it had been a struggle to hold it all in. In terms of what happened to his body after God had talked to him, the effect was almost identical. A feeling of nausea and of having something large and volatile suddenly arriving inside you.
