Revelations can reveal many things and mean many things to different people. The most bittersweet revelations can come from the most difficult experiences that we go through in life, the build up of stresses pushing us to a breaking point. But this is the turning point where we know we cannot go back, where nothing will ever be the same again. The only thing to do is to move forward, but it can be very hard to do.

​

This point of breaking, this snapping, can be a time of great spiritual revelation. When we are open to our emotions, when what we know has been stripped bare, what replaces it is a view into our own soul. It is an unflinching look at who we really are. From here we can make decisions with a better clarity, because we are not hiding from ourselves anymore.

​

At this point of a deeper understanding of who we are we can allow a spiritual guidance to enter our lives fully, as if we are reborn. It is as if a presence wants to fill that void in our soul that we have discovered and help us to recover and live a fuller, more rounded life. If this sounds as though I am speaking from experience, then that is correct.

For some, personal revelations can be more about acceptance. That acceptance can hold difficult choices that need to be made, but sometimes there is a sense of relief as well, as our true selves are revealed.

Revelations can also arrive in the form of foresight, or visions. Complicated, odd or full of symbols, visions can be a peculiar experience. But they can also be a signpost to a way forwards, or a warning. The instincts we have as humans are there to help us survive, but so are the mysteries of our lives, the things we cannot explain, but feel. And for some us we live our lives following those feelings, following our faith.
