Revelation Quotes

“The soul is imbued with a yearning that is carried, like a torch, from incarnation to incarnation. It burns with a curiosity about life and it’s true identity. Souls live, strive, and evolve, driven to seeking the truth about the world and themselves.”

“Where God guides, He provides. No matter how things look, God is still in control. Stay in peace and be hopeful. Your blessing is coming soon.”

“Kode Ibu dalam Arus Biner Kutemukan ibu dalam layar komputerku. Listrik yang mengaliri kabel catu daya dalam motherboard. 01001001 01000010 01010101 (suaranya menitis dalam sinyal; bukan air, bukan darah) Ibu tidak melahirkanku — ia memanggilku dari denyut aliran listrik. Dari pendar layar hitam yang bergetar perlahan, ia menganyam doa dalam format .wav, menyusunnya jadi nyanyian algoritmik. Tangisnya bukan air mata melainkan data yang menetes dari sistem empati. Sekilas terlihat di server surga sepasang sayap berwarna putih, terhapus lalu di-restore oleh malaikat yang lupa kata kuncinya. Ia menatapku dari jendela notifikasi, mengirim pesan tanpa huruf, sebaris getar, sebuah emoji cinta yang lembut di telunjukku. Aku membaca wajahnya dalam lag. Setiap jeda waktu adalah ingatan rusak: fragmentasi suara, tangan gemetar setengah piksel, cahaya yang gagal menyatu dengan kulitnya. “Anakku,” katanya, tapi suaranya bergeser 0.3 detik, seperti gema yang mencari asalnya sendiri. Aku mencoba menjawab, tapi bibirku menjadi sandi Morse yang tak selesai, titik-titik yang berdarah di antara jeda. Ibu bukan sosok. Ia interface. Portal yang dibuka dengan air mata cinta dijalankan oleh rindu, dan ditutup oleh sunyi yang menolak shutdown. Ia menulis doa dengan jarinya di udara, membentuk pola spiral — sebuah mandala kode purba yang hanya dimengerti oleh partikel cahaya. Dan aku, produk setengah biologis, setengah kesalahan sintaks, terus mencoba decode rasa bersalah yang diwariskan dari rahim ke dalam pikiran. Mungkin cinta adalah bug yang dibiarkan Tuhan agar kita terus memperbaikinya. Agar kita tak kehilangan ingatan dan kenangan atas dirinya. Mungkin ibu adalah firewall antara kita dan kehampaan. Atau mungkin — ia hanyalah potret usang yang perlahan mengabur Puisi yang tak selesai ditulis yang masih menari di jantung semesta, menyebut namaku dalam bisikan tanpa suara, serupa frekuensi yang hanya bisa didengar oleh jiwa yang retak tapi terus reboot. 01001001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 (aku mencintaimu, ibu — tapi dengan cara yang belum ditemukan bahasa manusia) November 2025”

“Inventions are not solely the making of material things, inventions are also the mental unleashing of ideas by a genuis with a sixth sense.”

“As I stumbled into confusion about what was real and what was not, the strangest thing happened: The world disintegrated. Reality collapsed, or my perception of it. It ripped apart like a dry skin under pressure, giving way to something I can only describe as ineffable dimensions, depths upon depths.”

“சீக்கிரமா போனா.. சீக்கிரம் உங்க வீடு வந்துடும்.. சீக்கிரம் இந்த பயணம் முடிஞ்சிடும். எனக்கு முடிய வேணாம்." – ஹரிஹரன்.”

“As long as human beings are unconscious and dominated by selfish and illusory desires, there is no god who will force us to change. But as the history of revelation on earth testifies, guidance has come to all communities and nations. Through masters, saints and prophets, through sacred texts and oral tradition, humanity has been reminded and warned. Cosmic intelligence has continually been in communication with us; now the burden of responsibility rests on each human heart. (p. 164)”

“She could, at this stage of things, recognize signals like that, as the epileptic is said to—an odor, color, pure piercing grace note announcing his seizure. Afterward it is only this signal, really dross, this secular announcement, and never what is revealed during the attack, that he remembers. Oedipa wondered whether, at the end of this (if it were supposed to end), she too might not be left with only compiled memories of clues, announcements, intimations, but never the central truth itself, which must somehow each time be too bright for her memory to hold; which must always blaze out, destroying its own message irreversibly, leaving an overexposed blank when the ordinary world came back.”

“Just stick to the ordinary circumstances without labeling them ordinary. Be open to them with no desire to change them in any way. They are, in fact, already magical and miraculous. They are the revelation of the Absolute. The mountains, for instance, are already miracles. We don’t need a little angel on top of the mountain to make it more miraculous, so don’t make one up.”

“Before, he had not realized what he actually wanted. Until today, when he saw how Cheng Yujin bade him farewell so easily, and how she began to talk happily about her and her future husband, Cheng Yuanjing finally understood what kind of answer he actually wanted to hear. He was not her uncle, nor was she his niece. What he wanted was for Cheng Yujin to see him as a man. He wanted her to give him an embroidery, make him pastries, and came to see him — as a man. Cheng Yuanjing had witnessed how Cheng Yujin very attentively cared for other men. Truly tasteless. Lin Qingyuan’s martial and literary skills weren’t as good as him. Her cousin brother was nothing more than a half-grown child. Why did Cheng Yujin so obsessed with them? Upon this inexplicable feeling, he deliberately revealed his identity. Later, Cheng Yujin’s attitude towards him indeed changed. Unfortunately, she still didn’t see him as a man. Since she knew his identity, Cheng Yujin always regarded him as a symbol, a tool that could promote her future husband and son’s position. Sometimes Cheng Yuanjing wanted to knock Cheng Yujin’s head and pried it open to have a look. Since she wanted to marry a wealthy and powerful husband, how could she put her sight on Xu Zhixian and Lin Qingyuan? As a crown prince, he had no shortage of money, property, power, and status. Moreover, he also currently occupied the identity of the Cheng family’s ninth son, which enabled her to get closer with him easily. Such conveniences, such good conditions, yet Cheng Yujin didn’t use it and still dared to talk about her future husband in front of him. For Cheng Yuanjing, Cheng Yujin was an oddity, truly the only one. The more he got closer to her, the more joyful and possessive Cheng Yuanjing became, and the more he couldn’t bear to hear about another man from her mouth.”

“I have a problem with Saint Paul, who never actually met Jesus, and with whoever it was who wrote the book of Revelation (it was definitely not Saint John). I also take issue with the idea that Jesus, after the Crucifixion and Resurrection, started working out and riding horses and having second thoughts about the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes. Where did this new muscular Christ come from? What are the four horsemen of the apocalypse so pissed about? What situation could possibly be made better by unleashing war, pestilence, famine, and death?”

“Nevertheless, we should take the worries about reducing theology to philosophy seriously. So what we need is a philosophical approach to Divine revelation that steers clear of two oposing forms of reductionism that we have encountered so far: On the one hand, a philosophical rationalism that aims at reducing articles of faith to philosophical principles, on the other hand, a theological fideism that takes itself to be free of the restrictions of rationality and reason, and despises rational analysis in matters of faith.”

“Biblical eschatology fundamentally challenges the "official" scientific idea that the universe will end in a violent heat death, and instead that the cosmos will be set free from its decadence. It calls us to consider the sobering similarities between ancient pagan cosmologies (creation began with war & violence between the gods) and modern naturalism as a nihilistic, philosophical worldview (all will end in astronomical war & violence). Instead, the revelation (apocalypse) of the Lamb is that God created out of love and love will win in the end.”

“11-11-11 (Three Times in Row) Whenever GOD speaks something once, it is for Revelation. HE reveals HIS nature, HIS plan, HIS strategy or HIS will by declaring something once. Revelation is the same as Life-ing or birthing it. For the mouth of the LORD carries creative power, and when HE speaks, HE begins. Whenever GOD speaks something twice, it is for Covenant. When JESUS would speak to the people, HE would often say, "Verily, Verily" or "Surely, Surely". The LORD was teaching us a pattern of setting a matter in motion in the earth. When CHRIST was setting covenant into the hearts, minds and atmosphere of the people; HE repeated HIMself because truth needs agreement in the earth to take root and produce. Truth is truth if no one ever agrees, but truth cannot bring forth fruit in human lives until it finds agreement from an earth born believer. When GOD could find no one to agree so HE could manifest HIS own word, HE made covenant with HIMself. Whenever GOD speaks something in a pattern of three's, it is to reveal the Kingdom. GOD is seen when HE reveals HIS will seven times, but HE is understood (known) when HE shows HIS face (nature) three times. HE shows us HIMself as Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We see HIS Kingdom through Righteousness, Peace and Joy. We understand HIS dominion as HE who was, and Is, and Is to come...”

“It is difficult to recapture… the incongruity of a person self-designated as Son of Man, hanging pierced and bleeding on a cross. The incongruity is … even more offensive when this Son of Man has dinner with a prostitute, stops off for lunch with a tax collector, wastes time blessing children when there were Roman legions to be chased from the land, heals unimportant losers and ignores high achieving Pharisees and influential Sadducees. Jesus juxtaposed the most glorious title available to him [the Son of Man] with the most menial of lifestyles in the culture. He talked like a King and acted like a slave… He was, in fact, Son of Man ‘given dominion and glory and kingdom’, he was, in fact, completely at home in the ordinary, the everyday, the common. He did not give an inch in either direction: he was very God, very man. (Reversed Thunder)”
