18. Revelation. Revelation of the insight is intended to resolve its underlying concern. Fact may
expose falsity, but could also validate truth. Prejudice, the
error at this level, pretends, even believes,
that differing facts don't exist! Organizations exist to
maintain this falsity. Facts may be called evil! Insight into any truth is a miracle of revelation, which suggests the possibility of others. Hopefully, love resolves concerns, forgiveness heals, judgment is unnecessary, prejudice doesn't exist, and truth is acceptable. Free will offers either destructive or constructive choice. Any insight is a miracle of revelation. |
