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."

• Greater Community Spirituality, chap. 17, pp. 214

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."

• Greater Community Spirituality, chap. 17, pp. 211

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.

• Greater Community Spirituality, chap. 17, pp. 212, 219

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."

• Greater Community Spirituality, chap. 17, p. 219
