I meant to include the idea of revelation through prayer, another example of direct contact with spirit.

That makes sense.

But as Baile puts out there, "revelation through prayer" may be considered a direct contact by some people, while other people may see it as speculation.

I am just keeping an open mind and trying not to force my belief. I already know, no one on on this forum believes the same as me.

There have been so many examples throughout the centuries of religious individuals experiencing revelation (direct contact with spirit) through prayer that it's hard to argue that it's mere speculation. And all one needs to do is study the relevant information pertaining to the mystical wisdom path. It's described in one form or another in every mystery stream.

I agree Baile, for me the Torah, all the Jewish prophets, Gospels, Qur'an, Dead Sea Scrolls, Nag Hamadi Scriptures, Book of Enoch, ancient writings of Abraham, the Zodiac (aka, original prophecy), for me they are all from religious individuals experiencing direct revelation. I believe a prophet has been sent to every nation, including the Mayans.
