A Positive Path Forward
Posted by Literary Titan

An Afternoon’s Dictation: Inclusive Revelation for the 21st Century shares with readers your years of research and study into the spiritual guidance you received from an inner voice. Why was it important to share your findings?
With our world continuing to embrace “Me, me, me” rather than “Us”, I felt obligated to express not only how important it is to think beyond ourselves, but how and why I had reached this crucial realization. We keep saying “United we stand, divided we fall.” Yet while acknowledging this, we continue to divide ourselves.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
For me, the most important ideas were that we can respect rather than be fearful of our spiritual differences, and that ALL of our spiritual traditions have tried, in their own ways, to teach us to love one another. It’s nothing new, but it keeps being repeated because we keep falling back into divisions of “them” vs. “us”.
What were some goals you set for yourself as a writer in this book?
Having written three books on the call of Interfaith to the human family, and having reached my mid-70s, I wanted to write one final book that might help us to see how and why we might embrace unity, justice, love, and humility as a positive path forward. I wanted to do so with clarity, and in all humility myself.
What is one thing that you hope readers take away from An Afternoon’s Dictation: Inclusive Revelation for the 21st Century?
I am hoping that the reader will take away from the book that we are truly one family – the human family, and that we have an obligation to posterity to ACT on that belief.

An Afternoon’s Dictation grapples with, organizes, and deeply explores the revelations Steven received and then studied for over ten years. His sharing is NOT offered as the only possible way to understand it the dictation. It is offered, rather, as a start. The book’s sections include deep explorations into “The Call to Interfaith,” “The Call to Love One Another,” “The Call to Justice,” and “The Call to Community.” These explorations
are rooted in a crucial part of the dictation that directs us to “Seek truth in the commonality of religions – which are but the languages of speaking to Me.”
Thus, An Afternoon’s Dictation builds on what unites our diverse spiritual traditions, not what divides us. It shows us a path to respecting our differences while embracing unity of the great callings of our spiritual traditions. An Afternoon’s Dictation provides caring guidance forward in these hugely challenging times – if we are open to it.
