After I wrote my last post, (in which I spoke of my dialogue with Mary taking six months and producing the books taking two years) I realized that I may have made it sound as if the revelation was \u201cover\u201d after that initial six months. It wasn\u2019t. It was just different.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a good time to realize the many distinct flows that \u201cyour\u201d holy reception of a work brings to \u201cyou.\u201d The inspiration that comes from your receptivity as you read, your dialogue as you speak and listen, your states of being day-to-day\u2014of openness or dreaminess or fatigue\u2014all bring you different insights. I\u2019m the same. We feel affected differently from the same words. The words stay with us as more than words.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Experience is \u201cthe start.\u201d Inspiration is an experience. I know you\u2019ve felt it when reading <\/span>A Course of Love, <\/span><\/i>and newly on reading it \u201cagain.\u201d It is the continuation of the flow, revealing something new unceasingly.<\/span><\/p>\n

People who never understood me reading <\/span>A Course in Miracles<\/span><\/i> seven times didn\u2019t understand about this flow, or how the flow of the first reading affected the flow of the second and the second of the third, and on and on.<\/span><\/p>\n

The same is true as a writer. Yes, a particular flow will come to rest\u2014for a while\u2014and then begin again. Yes, manifesting<\/a> is the push of the inspiration out into the world where it is the beginning of new life by way of being read. Where there is interaction. Where New dialogues occur.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the insights of the rest are there too. Rest is not an end. It is often a new beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n

No Holy One has ever said, \u201cThe End.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As creators\u2014creators now, of The New\u2014we too, are never to say, \u201cThe End.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
