1 Nephi 11:11

11  And I said unto him: To know the ainterpretation thereof—for I spake unto him as a man speaketh; for I beheld that he was in the bform of a man; yet nevertheless, I knew that it was the Spirit of the Lord; and he spake unto me as a man speaketh with another.
            -of the many things we learn from Nephi’s experience here and from this verse specifically, we know that we can have a conversation with the Holy Ghost  “as a man speaketh with another”.  This type of communication depends on the purposes of heaven (and our worthiness of course). Most of our communications with the Spirit are not so blatant but take the form of feelings, impressions, fleeting moments of inspiration which appear to be our own thoughts, enlightenment, intuition.  Elaborate and lengthy “discussions” are not frequent but they are also not categorically obsolete.
