A Course In Miracles
return to "The Course" main-page:
Revelation is intensely personal.
Revelation [is] the original form of communication between God and his creations.
Revelation unites you directly with God.
God created every mind by communicating His Mind to it, thus establishing it forever as a channel for the reception of His Mind and Will. Since only beings of a like order can truly communicate, His creations naturally communicate with Him and like Him. This communication is perfectly abstract [see the "Divine Abstraction"]... God has kept your Kingdom for you, but He cannot share His joy with you until you know it with your whole mind. Revelation is not enough, because it is only communication from God. God does not need revelation returned to Him, which would clearly be impossible, but He does want it brought to others. This cannot be done with the actual revelation; its content cannot be expressed because it is intensely personal to the mind that receives it. It can, however, be returned by that mind to other minds, through the attitudes the knowledge from the revelation brings. Editor's note: We affect others more by our spirit than our words. We share in the "Divine Abstraction," and we communicate this state of being to others, not by words but by our entire person and spirit.
