. My question is, what does the author believe his role to be if not a revealer? A messenger that does not wish to take credit for the message? One who presents opportunities for people to find their own revelations? One who provides a foundation for exploration?we are on the brink of a revelation, I am not the revealer, we are on the brink of a revelation, this is my role

their own minds of they believed or not. I see the author saying..hey everyone! You can have revelation if you choose to. I’m just announcing it in case you want it. So I saw his role in the book as a trumpet blower announcing that we can live from the spirit instead of the mind.
That’s my best guess!

I would call him a seer or a revealer. I understand that he does not want to take credit for his role in this because he didnt call himself to serve, he was called/chosen by Jesus. So, all the glory and credit of his revelations still belong to Jesus.

This is the part that really made me think. What role do we each take on in moments of enlightenment? The author as a human has had to find his place within that space of mind and consciousness, as do each of us.

Wow, that’s a very astute comparison to John the Baptist!! I agree that the author’s intention is to provide a revelatory message but it can be interpreted as the reader wishescpru68 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2019, 02:03 I guess I look at it this way...John the Baptist announced that Jesus was coming.

That question in the end also hit me square in the eye. As a firm believer of Christian faith, it made me think of what is the role God designated for me. Maybe He was already leaving hints and I haven't picked them up yet. Also, it makes you realize that the author is trying to stir that sense of purpose for his reader.soccerts wrote: ↑02 Mar 2019, 16:51This is exactly how I read it.cpru68 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2019, 02:03 I guess I look at it this way...John the Baptist announced that Jesus was coming.
