the difference between passive and active communication with christ

In my mediation class, I am teaching my students the difference between active and passive communication with Christ. First, we have been cleaning out the voices that stop them from passively receiving. Now that they can feel, and hear and see christ talking with them, I want them to build a link to asking more specifics from Christ on a variety of topics.

Passive communication is where you just get still and notice inside the pictures, feelings, voice of Christ talking with them,very often these are in symbols that we are trying to interpet. Sometimes the symbols are not directly related to what it is that Christ wants you to take away from the experience.

Active communication is where you picture christ in front of them and then start asking him to show them things and tell them things. Examples, past, present, future events. health of themselves or others and what causes the disease to take place. Reading scriptures and them asking Christ to take them to those times and feel and see what really went on. Including going inside the Bodies of Christ or the disciples to feel their feelings or listen to their self talk.
Practical things like how should they act about what someone said to them. A health condition of a loved one. An investment or a buying decision they want to make. There is much more that is possible when you are asking from Christ directly. The difference is in asking until you get complete answers you can act on
