Angels of 'Illumination.'   "There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive development, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic."         -----Anais Nin, American novelist (1902 - 1977)

  "The 'Angel Illumination' shines God's light of awareness upon you.  The light of the supreme spirit is more brilliant than a thousand suns.  Infused with unconditional love, it penetrates the shadows of ignorance with the greatest care.  When this angel shines this light upon you, the truest part of you is illuminated.  Your soul receives increased awareness and love from this illumination.   "When the Angel Illumination touches you with God's light, darkened areas are also exposed.  The light of awareness brings our attention to things that you haven't yet noticed about yourself or are trying to ignore.  What part of your life is the angel calling to your attention?  Which feelings or attitudes are being exposed?   "It can be painful to recognize the dark, ugly parts of yourself, such as feelings of jealousy and hatred.  But is very good  to become aware of these hidden elements.  When you can see into the darkness, you can do something to find the truer, more loving parts of yourself.

"God is with you in the darkest moments, when your illusions are illuminated.  Experiencing this is difficult because, with illumination, your soul feels the embrace of unconditional love, and your illusions seem a hundred times worse when they are so sharply contrasted with the embrace of love.  In those moments of great pain, look inside yourself for love rather than focusing on the darkness.

  "Illumination reveals truth.  Because of God's mercy, illumination often comes in smaller doses that can be tolerated as your feelings and attitudes are exposed.  Do you feel discouraged when you become aware of an area of darkness?  Is this an area you have worked on for some time and thought you were done with?  Don't worry, you are not going backward.  Feel encouraged because the Angel Illumination is guiding you deeper into persistent issues so your heart can open to greater love and awareness.  

"When you become aware of areas that need work, do you feel confuse or caught up in self-judgment?  Change your perspective.  Even though it may feel uncomfortable, see your new awareness as a positive thing and use it to move forward.  Feel gratitude that you are seeing this darkness in yourself.   Pray.  Ask the Angel Illumination to help you let go of the darkness you have witnessed and grasp an awareness of the true, loving parts of yourself.  

"Come back to the big picture.  What does your soul really want?  Look at what is happening to you from the bigger perspective of the truer part of yourself.  What are your real desires?  What actions can you take to let go of the darkness you are seeing and to find a greater love and awareness?   "Illumination from the Almighty is a powerful force of love that is stronger than any darkness. 

Through awareness, you can bask in the resplendent glow of unconditional love.               

       Actions to Attract  the Angel Illumination   ~  

To receive illumination, meditate to the sound of Resurrection' by Raphael on Music to Disappear In and 'Coming Out of the Dark; by Gloria Estefan on Gloria Estefan's Greatest Hits.  Invite the Angel Illumination to guide you as you gain coming self-awareness.  During meditation, ask the Angel Illumination to escort you into the brilliant light of truth. ~     Seize the time when the light of illumination is shining  upon you to write in a journal.

  Write about:               

  *   The qualities of soul that you discover.             

*   The awareness or realizations you receive in the light of truth.             

  *   Dark aspects that influence our behavior and the way this influence affects your loved ones.            

  *   Experiences of finding love as you work through darkness.              *   Personal experiences with the Angel Illumination or with God. ~    Find heartfelt gratitude for everything that is being illuminated, both the dark and the light, until a prayer of thanksgiving flows out of your heart.

~    Apologize to someone you treated poorly because you were jealous or hateful.  Or send a thank you note that acknowledges how you have benefited from knowing this person.

~    Pray.  Here is an example:              

"Angel Illumination,           

  Thank you for illuminating the darkness within me            

so I can see it and change.            

Thank you for holding me in your love.            

Thank you for pulling me into the truth.            

Thank you for never giving up on me."
