The Pathway of Revelation | Rabbi Shefa Gold

The Psalms are filled with insight and understanding, yet we cannot receive the revelation that is hidden in these ancient words until we become receptive, open to their flow of wisdom and then be willing to apply that wisdom to our lives.

To walk the Pathway of Revelation, we must be willing to put aside what we think we know, and enter into the unknown. We must find our stillness in order to be sensitized to what is stirring within us. We must get quiet in order to hear the still small voice, the voice of the Shechina who is always whispering to us.

And then the pathway of Revelation guides us into prophesy. We not only receive; we become channels for the Divine Flow. We offer ourselves up to that flow, with a commitment to be continually clearing out the obstacles and obstructions that might distort the Divine message.

God speaks to us through the holy words of the Psalms; She speaks to us through our bodies and through the stirrings of our hearts. On the Pathway of Revelation, we open our eyes to signs and wonders. The way to stay open is to listen for the “New Song.” The practice of listening for and singing the “New Song” requires us to let go of what we know, to let go of habit and nostalgia … and then to trust what is coming through us in this very moment. It means I must open my mouth and sing, without knowing what will emerge, and then follow that new melody with steadfast faith, going wherever the song wants to take me. Every melody tells a story; every story reveals a hidden treasure.
