I definitely had a good conversation with myself as I learned throughout this experience.

My Experience

 I have felt for a while that I should talk frankly about some of the things I have learned about revelation. This mini-blog series has been my response to that prompting. I decided to do this at a time that I am seriously wrestling inside about my own weaknesses and my own path. I don't think that this was a coincidence. I think that if we use these techniques, and keep learning and growing on the path of faith, our acts will be sufficiently consecrated for us to receive the light and knowledge that we need.

 There is still a lot of work I get to do to be better. I, for one, am repeating Wendy Watson Nelson's Challenge for 30 days after this! 

It's Not Over!

Yes the blog really is over. But the journey never ends. In The Lord of the Rings, Frodo is communicating this to Sam. Frodo himself learned this from Gandalf when Gandalf told him 'all that you need to decide is what to do with the time that is given you.' He passes the lesson on to Sam that even though middle earth is saved, and his home is spared, there is still a great work to do, and time to do it. Sam marries Rosie Cotton and the last scene is him standing at his door with his child as he says 'Well, I'm back'.

 Roads go ever ever on. If you learned something useful from this please reach out to me or comment. We all have work to do with ourselves and with each other, and time to do it. Let's keep going and supporting one another.

Last Thing:

One last reminder from the greatest music group of all time! Never give up on your dreams!

7 - How to not be deceived

This is the Trickiest Topic of Them All This is seriously the hardest blog post to write in this mini-series. There are a lot of forces in this world and many of them use some truth and rightness, mixed with deception and darkness, to fool you into going down the wrong path.  Honestly, I think I've been deceived all the time. It is very difficult in this current world to understand things through God's eyes. The good news is that there are a few times in my life where I know that I was doing the right thing, or receiving a prompting from God. So I hang on to those as a base reference to help me understand better what to do. There are a couple other tricks that I would like to show you today. A Warning Before we Continue Just a warning, if you want these things to work in your life, you better be doing the things in blog post 2 - How to get revelation and blog post 3 - Rolling back the distractions Emphasis (and not for the last time!) on being true to yourself...

12 - Super secret hack I learned from Wendy Watson Nelson!

This is Like a Health Cleanse So you know when you resolve to eat healthy food again and you start doing but don't feel any better? Sometimes you need some extra power to wash the muck away. One way to do that is a health cleanse. The technique I am about to teach you is like a health cleanse. It is a disciplined practice you do for 30 days and it can really reset or boost your spiritual system. Wendy Watson Nelson taught me this and it helps you to consistently practice receiving revelation in a grounded manner. Word of caution though - if you aren't trying to eat healthy and you go on a cleanse, it can mess up your systems. Then if you resume junk food right after, the cleanse didn't do you any good. This is the same thing. You should be practicing the basics we talked about in Blog Post 2 and Blog Post 3  and then you can engage this as a kata to help you get better. If you aren't doing the basics, I don't know if this will work that well for...

6 - Repentance and revelation

The Scary Word! Repentance can be a scary word. Part of that is because the English roots of the word come from meanings like regret, pain, punishment, and sorrow. None of those are especially fun. Luckily, the idea of repentance was around way before the English language was! So there is no need to be afraid here. Here is what I have learned about repentance. A Better Definition of Repentance Apparently, the greek word for repentance is metanoia . This word is better translated as 'turning around', 'a change of mind', or 'change of perception'. I have heard that it has roots in being 'off target', or missing your aim with your arrow. So when I talk about repentance in this blog, I am saying we need to change. We need to get better aim. What are we Aiming At? There are a lot of things to aim at in life. In my last blog post , I talked a lot about how to make life goals. We should generally be aiming at the highest good. When we find ...
