That is the recipe for a mental disaster, where anything can be said about a relationship that isn't validated with anything but what you think. This is why there is so much confusion in the World in regards to Faith and God.
Human Beings require physical presence to develop healthy relationship(s), as the imagination is an endless vortex of Culture and ideologies developed as a child, which are used to interpret the unknown. Your God is not the God of the Native Americans, at least in thought.
Oh, and whether you like it or not, you are in a Religion. Try leaving and see what happens.

Nice try, I left the UPC long ago....and I still have many friends and even some family still in the UPC.
Not every has the experience you had.
And yes, I do have a relationship with a God I cannot physically see, touch or hear. But I can't see the wind, yet it's there. I can't touch the wind, but it still rustles the palms. Nor can I hear the wind, though it's effects are heard.
I'll keep this relationship I've had for the past 30 years. Nothing you say will ever cause me to doubt what I have seen, what I have felt and what I have heard.
