By the time we arrived on Patmos, I was already in a profound spiritual fog-to the point that my traveling companions had become concerned. I had been asked to serve as a kind of spiritual tour guide for a small group on a two-week exploration of Greece and the Aegean islands.

At the time I was senior minister at Unity in Chicago, a lively spiritual community, part of the worldwide Unity movement and decidedly on what would be considered the liberal end of the Christianity spectrum. It was my first trip to Greece-well, my first trip anywhere, really. His language was so vivid, and his imagery so intense, that his writing has haunted Christians and actually affected the course of history for more than 2,000 years. It is the place where, in the late first century of the Common Era, a religious exile named John wrote his descriptions of a detailed and specific personal spiritual vision. The cave is on Patmos, a small Greek island near the coast of Turkey in the Aegean Sea.

Still, the fact that I was there at all was so astonishing, and the energies of the place so strong, that the memory remains vivid even now, a dozen years later. ItвЂ™s not a physically impressive cave, as these things go. Ooking back, I think it started for me in the cave. This book is dedicated, with love and deep appreciation, to the congregations of Unity in Chicago and Unity of Dallas, who not only endured but warmly supported my Revelation fascination and to Unity of Greater Hartford, the wonderful spiritual community that is now my home, who challenged me to finally get it all down on paper.
