Illuminating the centuries and the landscapes of your thought, revelations have indeed appeared and appear now. The Bible is but one aspect, and highly distorted, of revelations that occurred, in your terms, in the past. But revelations are always, they do not end. There is not a revelation that stopped happening centuries ago. You are revelations. You are each revelations. You very carefully examine your experience. Is this valid? Is this true? but you are yourselves experiences. Are you valid? Are you true?
Each of you receive revelations every moment of your lives. Your life is a revelation. We are trying to lead you gently so that you will accept the revelations of your peers. Within you are answers and questions. The questions are to lead you to your own answers and the answers will not be the same. Each of you will read the answers in your own way.
The revelations have come through the centuries. The revelations are the centuries. The centuries are transparent. You can look through this history that you know. The selves that sit there know other selves. There are revelations within you that do not need words. They need to rise up like new planets into your own consciousness, and you need to treat them gently and not give them labels or names. So we are leading you away from labels and names, and for awhile you may feel confused or lonely, for you only feel safe when you can name an experience. And you want to know, what is it? What is its name? Is this language a truth? Did it exist in the past, what is it? before you would consider using it.
As I speak now, the revelations that you are burst into activity, and certainly you should know of this. While you think, “I am man, a member of a certain species, inhabiting a planet named Earth in this space and in this time,” then you place artificial barriers between you and your perceptions. And you dwell in a world in which words grow into a distorted lens that denies your own vision. Therefore, to some extent, we will crumble the words up, crumble the words up and distort them until it seems that in the language that we use you perceive certain familiar sounds. Your associative processes find a certain feeling of safety and familiarity, leaping upon this vowel and this syllable. All delightful trickery. But a trickery that is in its own way as truthful as revelations that you are.
[...] So science and revelation seem far apart indeed, for the revelation usually insists upon obedience to a vision that is privately received, and offers as a rule but poor evidence. [...]
In the past, because of your God concepts, private revelations were indeed highly unwieldy. [...] This applied not only privately, however, but to the mass-accepted revelations of all religions, that could justify righteous wars for God’s sake, or justify murder in the name of peace.
Revelations will be encouraged, and yet they will not be put above the common-sense wisdom that insists upon tolerance and justice. Man has indeed forgotten how to interpret his revelations—but more importantly, he has forgotten how to receive them, and then how to perfect them in reason’s light.
