In an important mystical speech where Sun Myung Moon explains the zero-point standard, he also speaks about revelations. He gives some examples of how they are conveyed.
The field of your mind is not flat, like a sheet of glass – it is uneven.
It is in the form of a flat surface but the shape itself is uneven. So when a heavenly ray hits the uneven plane of your mind, it will be reflected towards a direction opposite to the incoming ray just like the refraction of light.
Visions, therefore, are all different. God works in such a way to enlighten each part of your mind.
Revelations come from the spiritual realm. God and the spiritual world, with all its spiritual beings, form this realm.
Communication there does not occur through direct words.
We do not need a language to communicate. I cannot say exactly how it works. But through my own experience, I was able to witness the principle:
A spiritual message comes from the spiritual realm. At this stage, it does not yet consist of words. Only when it meets our spiritual mind with its individual surface - as described in the speech - does it become a substantial sentence. Only then can it be expressed in images or words.
Interactions of events in life or dreams – which in hindsight become enlightenments
By an example you can understand its meaning:
a person casually walking along happens to see a bird fly off from the wall of a beautiful house; even after the bird has flown away, the observation of the event implicitly teaches a lesson.
Such phenomena will occur. Such phenomenaChapter 3 • The Spirit World will start taking place in your actual daily life. The number of these suggestive conditions will increase.
You will derive insight into something as you happen to overhear someone talking. Such experiences will increase gradually.
In my experiences, it was often dreams that I only partially understood.
First in prayer they became an enlightenment that revealed their message to me.
In the same way, God can show something through events in nature or at a particular place in everyday life. Even when people speak or we hear something, such an enlightenment can suddenly occur.
A spiritual enlightenment then allows us to recognize and understand the message.
If we pray a lot and keep our spiritual sensitivity open, we can have such experiences more frequently. They probably happen often, but we either do not recognize them or are not open to the enlightenment.
You will start receiving revelations in your dreams, but I am not talking about the ones during deep sleep.
Saint Paul experienced the third heaven while half awake. Do not let such phenomena pass you by inadvertently. Compile and analyze the data scientifically to find out what they are trying to connect you to.
The result will surely come out. You will gradually experience that the revelations you had in your dream – which you can hardly forget – will turn out true 100 percent in reality.
You will have such experiences.
We should therefore take such revelations seriously and appreciate them.
At the same time, we must be careful not to overinterpret everything that happens as a revelation. This can happen if we remain on the mental, intellectual level.
A key sentence in the quote is:
"The result will certainly appear."
Here, the spiritual phenomenon of enlightenment comes into play. Only through spiritual sensitivity do we open ourselves to enlightenment – the appearance. We attain this, as described, through meditation and an intense life of prayer.
