Revelation

"At every great time of Revelation, spread out intermittently over the course of human history, how many have failed to recognize the significance of the event that was taking place in their lives, at their time?

Directives

Do not strive for revelation. Do not set it as part of your plans and your goals. Set out instead to become a student of Knowledge and to patiently proceed without claiming grand schemes, designs or abilities for yourself.

Special Revelation

Revelation is a gift that is given to certain indivuals who will have a prominent role to play in leading others. It happens very rarely and only under very special circumstances.

Gradual Revelation

It is not sudden and dramatic.... It is something you will gradually be able to feel, as the veil between physical life and life beyond the physical becomes thinner and thinner and as you experience more and more communication and are able to receive the translation of insight and information coming into your mind. Increasingly, you will have a sense that there is a presence, an intelligence, on the other side.

Revelation, then, is a slow, growing experience of purpose, meaning and direction in life.

Revelation as Demonstration

... Your mind and your body need to become vehicles for a greater expression and purpose. To allow this to manifest in specific and mundane ways where it is intended and where it is needed--this is revelation.
