Brother Francis E. Revels - Bey
First things first... what's your sign?
"First of all I am a Piscean.
What first drew you to Divine Inspirations Bookstore?
About 2 years ago while conducting my weekly group Creative Pathwork Meditations at another location, one of my regulars approached me at the end and asked have I ever heard of Divine Inspirations. Then several of my regular clients began to mention it to me throughout 2006. I finally came the day after my birthday in 2007."
What book was the catalyst into your spiritual journey?
"I had been on my spiritual journey since the age of 8 when I "spiritually received a vision of the college that I would attend and graduate from which was Bard College." While I was a freshman I worked in the College's Used Bookstore and read my first book: What is This? by the late Alan Watts. I read reams of used books from parapsychology, psychic development, meditation, Taoism to the Upanishad.
What was the last book you gave as a gift?
The last book I gave as a gift was The Key to the True Kabbalah by Franz Bardon."
What do you do on a regular basis to feel good?
"I love taking a brief morning walk right after I do several rounds of my own Modified Yang Style Tai Chi or my own White Eagle's Wings Tai Chi (short form). When I am not doing any of these I spend time meditating or sketching to relax and feel good."
What alternative healing therapies do you most frequently use?
"I recently embarked on a holistic program to drop weight and place my health in order. So I began last November and almost 300 days later I am enjoy walking around minus 60 pounds. But, I am daily 'working' on myself."
Do you have a practice or specialty?
"My practice & specialty for the past 34 years is a way of life as a Spiritual Minister, Metaphysician, Master Numerologist and Spiritual Consultant amongst many of my other intuitive disciplines. I am blessed to have taught many of the classes and workshops connected to what I do at Divine Inspirations Bookstore.
What is the biggest change you've seen in yourself spiritually?
The biggest change I have seen in myself spiritually is my awareness and love for Divine Providence and The Remembrance of the Divine nature in all of us in this lifetime, along with The Undersanding of Divine Grace. I am in the process of preparing a topic along these lines now as I already teach it in my podcast channel."
If you were a crystal, which one would you be?
"If I were a member of the crystal - mineral kingdom, I would be Selenite which is a true shapeshifter working from the 14th chakra and beyond.
What is your favorite color and what does it mean to you?
I don't really have a favorite color as all are important right now with the energy on the planet.
What element feels the most like you – fire, water, air, earth?
Even though I was born under a water element, I employ all 4 elements which are needed right now as well. I resonate well with the sound of tuning forks and crystal bowls."
What has been your greatest lesson so far?
"Perhaps, my greatest lesson so far has been that it is necessary to strike the balance in all areas of life and that I don't have to be so perfect, but just open myself up and allow God to express through me. This allows me to "work for upstairs" and this is what I love most about my life right now.
If you could drop everything to do anything, what would that be?
There is nothing for me to drop, but to remain detached to receive more awareness that God is my life always in all ways."
Name a book on your Top 5 list.
"The book I am naming from my Top 5 List is: The Key to the True Kabbalah by Franz Bardon."
What are your goals?
"My mission statement is my catalyst to birth, seed and manifest all of my goals. It was given to me by The Angel of Grace on July 2, 1999 to teach to everyone and it has become my signature statement ever since: "Remember that Divine Grace is a Blessing as we are alive & well in The Age of Remembrance !"
