When artists give form to revelation, their art can advance, deepen and potentially transform the consciousness of their community.
There is a book of Revelation in every one's life, as there is in the Bible.
When conversion takes place, the process of revelation occurs in a very simple way - a person is in need, he suffers, and then somehow the other world opens up. The more you are in suffering and difficulties and are 'desperate' for God, the more He is going to come to your aid, reveal Who He is and show you the way out.
In total acceptance, almost everything becomes a revelation.
I just think that, at the end of the day, you needed the catharsis of revelation.
By faith we began, by hope we continue, and by revelation we shall obtain the whole.
The recognition of the truth that we get in the artist's work comes to us as a revelation of new truth. We did not know it before, but the moment it is shown to us, we know that, somehow or other, we had always known it.
Pages of revelation lie open in your empty eyes of blue
When revelation comes write it down.
Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?
Human science cannot discover God. Human science is but the backward undoing of the tapestry web of God's science. It works with its back to him, and is always leaving his intent and perfected work behind it. Science is always going farther and farther away from the point where his work culminates in revelation.
This journey then, is nothing more, yet nothing less than a period of acclimating to a new way of seeing, a time of transition and revelation as it gradually comes upon "that" which remains when there is no self. this is not a journey for those who expect love and bliss, rather, it is for the hardy who have been tried by fire and have come to rest in a tough, immovable trust in "that" which lies beyond the known, beyond the self, beyond union and even beyond love and trust itself
Truth is never determined by majority opinion, but by divine revelation.
What use is revelation or religion if it doesnt change anything?
I've read the Book of Revelation a million times. It does not make sense, obviously. It needs to be decoded.
Light is not so much something that reveals, as it is itself the revelation.
There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.
I believe God lets us go through all of what we go through for a reason and it's all part of a continued learning curve and journey of revelation and knowledge.
Basically, for me the psychedelic experience was the path to revelation. It actually worked on somebody who thought nothing would work.
I'm sorry I didn't have this revelation earlier. I sleep better and more soundly because I'm not participating anymore.
