How we are able to converse with God fascinates me, this concept that we can communicate in a spiritual way with One who we do not physically see or hear is magnificent! He even knows our hearts without us saying a single word. We can feel His influence beyond the boundaries of space and time, enlightening our minds and speaking peace to our souls. This "spiritual language" makes sense to me though because as His sons and daughters, it truly is our first language, the language of angels. (see 2 Nephi 32:3)
So, here's my question...
If we can draw closer to and come to know our Father in Heaven through the means of this "higher communication", through the power of the Holy Ghost, is it possible we can come to know our brothers and sisters here on earth the same way? I believe that it is not only possible but Divinely expected for us to do so.
This brings new meaning to the scripture that God "created all things... spiritually" before he created them naturally. (Moses 3:5)
Just some thoughts I've been having...

"As you appropriately seek for and apply unto the spirit of revelation, I promise you will “walk in the light of the Lord” (Isaiah 2:5; 2 Nephi 12:5). Sometimes the spirit of revelation will operate immediately and intensely, other times subtly and gradually, and often so delicately you may not even consciously recognize it. But regardless of the pattern whereby this blessing is received, the light it provides will illuminate and enlarge your soul, enlighten your understanding (see Alma 5:7; 32:28), and direct and protect you and your family." - Elder David A. Bednar
