We never know when exactly something will be revealed.  We can be alone in the dark with a particular idea about ourselves and through a series of circumstances, it comes into the light.  There are all kinds of things we try to hide about ourselves that we do not really hide.  There are countless ways of being we have that those around us are quite aware of and we are clueless about.  It is a wonder we see anything at all.  One thing I have learned on my daily dates with God is if I want to have any kind of awareness about myself and others, I need to be within.  Spending time in the quiet of my heart with my breath and not needing to be anywhere or with anyone brings more revelation into my life than any book or experience.  We do a lot of looking out there for insights into our lives when everything we have ever needed has been provided by God within ourselves.  The things outside of us whether they be people, ideas, or experiences can only come into contact with the truth of who we are to the extent that we let them.  We get to choose how we experience revelations about our lives.  I have had many ahas from reading about concepts, hearing other’s stories and identifying, and being involved in seemingly random circumstances.  When it comes to personal revelations, it does not click until I have had time to digest my outside experience in the quiet of my own heart.  Each outside aha can become an internal revelation if we allow it to sink beneath the surface of our skin and be with it in our hearts.
