This is a wonderful book packed with information about how to contact God, or the Divine, and get answers to any questions you might want to ask.
However, I kept reading and reading, waiting to get to the point where the author informed me that now I had all the information I required, and could begin to use her techniques. Eventually, I'd got to the end of the book without ever having begun to meditate, and still didn't know how to get started. Perhaps part of the problem was that I was reading the book late at night and was too tired to take everything in. Anyway, I'm now going to return my library copy, purchase the book and hope that when I read it again this time I'll find a place in it telling me how and when to start. I'm hoping so.
Susan Shumsky has meditated and worked with her spirituality for many, many years, and tells us that she was not born with special spiritual powers but that she has obtained her results through hard work and perseverance. So we all have the possibility of achieving a clear inner contact to our inner teachers and receive answers from them. Divine Revelation meditation is a special technique that the author has developed. It is "a simple, effective way to directly communicate with God".
We are taught how to connect with the personal aspect of God. Shumsky states that "enlightenment" is a myth, and that we are already enlightened. (Isn't this a contradiction in terms?)
One chapter discusses the various levels of our being, ranging from "environment" (I didn't really understand how this comprises part of our body, as the author states) through the various aspects of mind, the various aspects of spirit (Christ Self, "I AM" Self, God Self, Cosmic Self) and, finally, absolute pure consciousness.
There are chapters on "ways to have a spiritual breakthrough", "meditating your way to the spirit", "fine-tuning your meditation practice", "Seven basic methods of spiritual healing", and so on.
The latter chapter includes several useful prayers, including for protection, thought-form healing, psychic-tie-cut-healing, astral entity healing, "past-life-mental-body healing" (for healing memories from past lives, for example) and "façade-body-healing" (for healing facades or masks that cover up your true self). I found these prayers to be some of the most useful features of the book, since they had a practical application, and could be used immediately.
For example, the Psychic-Tie-cut-healing:
"I call upon (divine teacher) to cut any and all psychic ties between (person) and (thing, person, etc.). These psychic ties are now lovingly cut, lifted, loved, healed, released, and let go into the light of love and truth. Thank you God and SO IT IS."
A useful chapter is one containing "Nine tests to prevent psychic deception". These tests can be used to test your inner messages. This chapter is important, as obviously you need to be able clearly to distinguish the voice of God from the voices of negative, astral entities. However, to begin with at least, the whole process of meditating, healing what needed to be healed, and carrying out the nine tests, seemed to be immensely complicated, and I would have had difficulty in remembering the details of the process without continually having to open my eyes and consult the book.
When asking questions, we are advised to avoid predictive questions, ask only questions that assume freedom of choice, ask for "highest wisdom" rather than "shoulds", ask for divine guidance, ask clear and simple questions and only one question at a time.
There is a chapter on the "twelve ways to receive inner revelation" and one on the "nine ecstatic expressions of God"
A final chapter provides examples of inspiring spiritual experiences described by various of Shumsky's Divine Revelation students.
A valuable glossary is supplied at the end of the book (something I miss in most other books containing specialized information).
Shumsky states that most benefit is obtained by those who participate in her "breakthrough intensives" and other Divine Revelation classes. But I find the book to be a valuable introduction to contacting Spirit, as long as you are committed to doing the work.
However, as indicated above, the book is so packed with concise information that I found it difficult to get a clear overview of what to do, when to do it, and so on. You will probably need to read the book several times, and of course find a way to get started on your daily meditation practice.
I would recommend this book to those committed to doing the work. Though I think I myself will now look into her book "How to hear the voice of God" which includes a CD, which would probably be helpful to get me started on the meditation, since I don't have the means or opportunity to participate in one of Shumsky's courses/classes.

One of the most prolific reads I have ever experienced. I read this in my early 20s and I had an awakening that was so profound. I loved it so much, I was gracious in letting someone take it, for I knew it would help them - and well I bought another copy. I had to. And today I still have the 2nd copy. Its aged, stained, with corners turned and notes in both front and back covers. It set me on the path to enlightenment. And for that I am so grateful.
