Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you-that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled." Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day,  and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesse] of these things.
Luke 24:44-48


In this passage, Luke reveals the meaning of the scriptures to the disciples.  Then he tells them, "It is you who are witnesses to all this. And mark this: I am sending upon you my Father's promised gift."
 
How did they decide when the gift arrived?  
 
"You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing." - Alan Watts
 
 "Spirituality, like conversation, is in a constant process of becoming." - Bill Countryman's, The Poetic Imagination, An Anglican Spiritual Tradition.
 
"Gregory of Nyssa, accordingly, spoke of spirituality in terms of epektasis, a stretching toward God rather than an arriving at God."
