One of the truly wonderful things about a belief in the unity of all life is that the believer has a sense of revelation moving within him or her. This is one of the great meanings of Oneness; we are the consistent receivers of what the Divine has for us, and this streams through us as a kind of unfolding all day every day. Sometimes we have a strong and powerful sense of it, sometimes just nuances, sometimes nothing really, except the practiced mind set that knows some form of revelation is always at hand.
Whiz bang thunderbolt...
Wouldn’t we love to get a whiz bang thunderbolt to the mind wherein an entire revelation spreads out before us…and sometimes, when we least expect it, this does happen. Mostly, though, we experience a continuous gift that moves through us as we live our lives one day at a time. Sometimes the gift is so quiet and unassuming that we can miss it if we are too cluttered. To that I would say, regrettable but no big deal. We need not add to the clutter by piling on dismay as well. It is enough to know that revelation never ceases. It is always a part of our divine nature and surfaces every chance it gets. Does a wonderful healing sometimes show up in a better way than we had planned? Perhaps an answer simply surfaces to a problem we had been wrestling with.
A lighter heart...
If we are spiritually inclined, whether we take up a formal study or not, the attention that we give to our inner interests will bear fruit as crisper thinking and a lighter heart. We discover that people do not have to do what we have in mind, and everything does not have to lay itself out to suit us. It is very human to doubt and then to know, to doubt and then to know, and it is one of the paths that revelation will take.
