It's amazing that you posted this only two days after the most wonderful experience in my life occurred. I had a divine revelation on tuesday while meditating. Somehow, I tapped into my kundalini and unravelled it into a pair of straight lines. Then I rose up through all of my chakras at an amazing rate of speed and went straight into god consciousness.

  Before this happened, I was using my mind machine with the @audiostrobe disc called "Children Of God". I remember seeing various alien beings, like the ones with the large oval eyes. It felt like they were downloading some sort of information into the back of my brain. The experience was incredibly wonderful. After the disc session ended, I continued meditating on what it all meant. I was sort of hanging around the etheric plane just taking it all in when I felt that my kundalini was unraveling. I wasn't startled, but wondered what it meant. Then I felt God's energy just grab me and lift me up until I had full awareness of everything. I didn't want to move a muscle as I felt that it would alter my ascension through the dimensions and planes that I was travelling through. I understood everything yet somehow knew that I couldn't bring that knowledge back with me once the experience was over.

  After I returned to normal consciousness, I went outside and put my back up against a tree and grabbed around it, feeling it's energy and connection with me and the rest of the world. I looked up into the sky and thanked God for the most wonderful experience I have ever had in my life.   

Sincerely,
Ralph

Great experience Ralph. I receive information from divine guidance at the back of my head all the time. Did you hear and feel a pumping action?

What is your feeling of "no time" after having this experience?

Ken Wilber in his latest book makes an interesting observation.  He has a tendency to put things into a graphic form to clarify his thoughts.  He suggests that there are levels of development but that consciousness at any level has the ability to vertically rise and touch on the highest levels of consciousness.  Being able to do that, however, is not the same thing as existing at a higher level of consciousness.  In his graphic illustration he has horizontal levels but consciousness at any level can vertically ascend and touch on what we call the divine.  I also note for folks not familiar with Wilber that a higher level primarily means a level of consciousness that is broader and more encompassing of more limited aspects of consciousness.

I liked this observation and extending it to the current discussion, revelation may be available to a broad number of people.  But that does not mean that those people are at a higher or broader level of consciousness or development.  While I would say Moses and the prophets and others whom we see as having revelations of major social or cultural impact exist at those higher levels of Wilber’s grid.

PS I don’t recommend the book, Integral Spirituality, particularly except to ardent Wilber fans.  He's trying to integrate spirituality into post-modern thought and it was quite obtuse to me.  This observation though stuck in my mind.

An additional thought to add to my previous post:

Moses would represent a higher level of consciousness in Wilber's scheme and as such his actions would probably be functional in the non-physical as well as the physical.

Sorry Mathew, I’ve been short on time this week.  Great thread btw.

To me divine revelation is the experience, recognition, and appreciation that we are spiritual beings not separate from God.  But that God flows from within each of us.  We all experience events (revelations) in our lives that bring us to understanding this within our hearts and minds.  I love the Old Testament and its history of peoples.  The stories told simply select leaders of the time in much the same way history books during our time might select leaders of influence for the US or any other country or culture.  This doesn’t mean only a select few are chosen for divine revelation… we all are chosen because we all are of God.

Swedenborg Chapter 5 Heaven & Hell seems relate to this subject.

Love, Kathy

I believe that there is no one who is "ordinary" and that we are all "extraordinary" whether we know it or not.  It is simply a matter of being fully aware of our connection to the divine Source within us.

Additionally, each of us has something to learn from the other, at all times and in all places....

Ultimately, I believe that each moment of our lives is a "mystic" one, whether we recognize it as such or not.  When we do recognize it, "magic" surrounds us at all times in a loving embrace.

Embracing the mystery is what brings greater meaning to our lives.  Wouldn't you agree?

much love, blink

I see divine revelation as a direct pipeline to god..then I have to define god and I can't do that!   so ok, a direct pipeline to unlimited intelligent overseers on nonphysical stature, like the disc idea.
I also see people are not needing to establish a direct pipeline to god until they get closer to transition, we come to Earth to experience the Earth, put your hands in the soil, have your babies, perform a job or service. control your passions and become like coal turned to gold.
going from being nonphysical to having and being inside a body, going through what that means with all it's different experiences, it can turn into from, "I'm trapped, to I'm really lucky to have a body." this an example of say, a handicapped person begins to feel gratitude for the things he can do, not for the things he can't do.

this gratitude acts to hone the soul into higher spiritual levels as all life looks upon this one that he has overcome, and so can they.

opportunity to gladden ourselves in times of trouble do appear everywhere if we could focus on that. it appears the human mind can only focus on one idea at a time, so we become with tunnel vision. so this mastery is for all, there is no special ones chosen, but rather they are the ones who choose for themselves as soon as they realize they can choose their own reality, which boils down to whether they will keep their peace of mind, their happiness, or let another, or a circumstance disrupt that center they are making within themself. that center is the left/right brain synchronization which causes spiritual centeredness also.

it also appears to me, we go home together, or we don't go home at all.
this is my idea of PUL intellectualizing. very difficult to decipher what comes through us, but is not made by the mind of a single man, therefore it is a grace, and it must be for all, or it can be for none because nothing is asked of us in order to receive it.
have to modify that: we do prepare a place for grace by focusing on ideals to make the world a better place for instance. we can get sidetracked easy. but in general, its a form of self disapline which causes growth. for me, as example, I was on stage. there was a song I wanted to sing but another stepped forward and sang it instead. I never got to express myself through this song. but I made a choice to not be competitive, and instead I saw the other singer as one with me. so there was no negativity, but growth instead to give to another what you yourself would desire to have. and I think this attitude will heal the world and I already see the effects of it doing so. hugs!!!
