Revelation occurs in two quite distinct ways.
The first of these is through personal experience, whereby the insights and understanding of receptive individuals are enriched and expanded. This type of revelation is ongoing and has no doubt always been an aspect of human experience. Our personal experiences of revelation may sometimes be more in the realm of feelings rather than in the mind. These are usually recognized as our most wonderful life experiences when we feel joy, happiness, peace, or love. These may be no more than brief glimpses, those special instances that you wish would last forever, when there is momentary clarity and understanding.
