I would clarify what you meant my "direct communication" if I were you, or else you're going to get all sorts of wacky answers. For instance, is insiration by the "Holy Spirit" direct communication? Also, many people believe that the Bible is God speaking directly to us. I would assume that you mean God sitting on a cloud and saying, "Hey Joe! I exist!" but I could be wrong.

I would like to know if anyone has learned about god via a direct communication from god as opposed having learned about god indirectly from other human beings.

Yes, you probably would do these days if "God spoke to you", and rightly so too!
Unfortunately in centuries past, people were much less enlightened, and such persons were believed and ended up writing the bible!!!!!

The Lord spake to me just last night. This is what He said: "The cockleburr is lit upon the mantle within the heart of her who is pure and inscribed therewith, as a lamp unto mine feet. No oil poureth out, except it be indwelt within the balm of surcease. But fear not, mine son, for they envy thine children unto the tenth generation, or until the Sabbath feast is consumed with milk from the wineskin of the unrighteous. And the canchre worm eateth not the selfsame feast, for it festereth in Bathsheeba's covenental garment."
Suddenly all is clear to me. NOW I UNDERSTAND.

It really is a pleasure to see so many people mocking religion without fear of a visit from the Spanish Inquisition, or the equivalent.
Still, it is a privilege to live in a time and place where religious fundamentalists cannot imprison or murder the skeptics.
