You are made of Light

Many times in your daily lives, when you are going about your business, as
you say, and you come across ideas or feelings that allow you to feel a
little bit heavy, a little bit weighed down, a little bit sad, then you can
allow yourself an opportunity to do the following thing.  You can allow
yourself to remember, if you will, for a moment at these times, that you
are made of light, literally, energy, light ... you are made of light.  And
as you think upon the idea that you are made of light, whether it be that
you close your eyes and have a meditation, a momentary meditation, or
whether you simply remember some image, or create some image in your mind
that allows you to perceive yourself, your body as if it is made of light.
Each and every atom becoming more and more energetic, more and more
illuminated, beginning to shine, to glow of its own accord with inner
light.  And as your body is composed of all of these small shining stars,
you begin to see your entire body glow with one light ... as you illuminate
yourself, you will increase, enhance, accelerate and uplift your energy.

Now, we do not tell you this for the purpose of ignoring, avoiding,
denying, or glossing over any important feelings you may have, be they
feelings of sadness, sorrow, anger, fear.  We do not mean for you to gloss
these over and ignore them and press them down, we do not mean for you to
suppress them.  But the idea is, if you will allow yourself a moment of
illumination to remember that you are a being of light, that you are having
an experience that is simply being translated into energetic terms, then
you can, by uplifting your energy in this way, by taking this moment of
illumination, give yourself the ability, remind yourself that you have the
power to deal with these feelings, with these circumstances, with these
situations.

And also the greatest benefit of allowing yourself to take this moment of
illumination will be in putting yourself in a different state, a different
frequency, a different vibrational reality.  And in so doing, you will then
create the ability to attract into your mind's eye, into your imagination,
courses that you can take, opportunities that you may not have seen before,
options that you may not have been aware were available to you in your
previous state, perhaps of despair, or sadness, or confusion, or anger, or
frustration, or fear.  These states, by definition, will prevent you from
being capable of seeing how you can transform those states.  Those states
will only bring with them, by definition, options that are commensurate
with those states, with those vibrational levels, and so they will have a
tendency to perpetuate more fear, more frustration, despair, as you say,
depression.

But if you will take a moment to illuminate yourself and raise your energy
vibrational level, in such times as these may occur to you, then you can,
without denying the feeling you are having, plug yourself into the
vibrational state that allows you to see the difference between the
vibrational state of joy and ecstasy, and the vibrational state you may
have been existing in.  And give you an opportunity to tap into
opportunities and circumstances, ideas, inspirations, that can help you
learn from the previous feeling, help you figure out how to transform these
ideas, and give you new insight into what avenues, what paths, what actions
to take that can bring you to a different level, a different plane, and
allow you to reap the benefit of insight in understanding why those
feelings did exist. Helping you to get in touch with your definitions so
that you can change them, because only from those definitions do feelings
come.

So give yourself an opportunity to do this, to play with your vibrational
state, up and down the scale of frequencies, up and down the spectrum, to
go from the dark, slower vibration, to the higher, lighter vibration of
energy.  And without, as I have said, denying the feeling you had, put
yourself in two places, make a comparison -- remember the state you were
in, remember the feeling you were having, but at the same time oscillate
back and forth between that lower level and the higher level; so that you
can give yourself the point of view, the parallax necessary, the
perspective necessary to see from the higher position how you can deal more
effectively, more creatively, with the lower position, with the more
frustrating position.  To make it less frustrating by giving yourself the
opportunity to function in this higher state as your higher self, as your
illuminated self, to see what your higher self would do in the
circumstance, because you are your higher self when you choose to be.

So, illumination used in this way, to create this double point of view,
will give you a more dimensional perspective on your circumstance and
situation, so that you do not necessarily have to feel the weight of the
world on your shoulders, that there is no way out of your circumstance.
That you do not have to perceive what you are going through as a dilemma,
but only as an opportunity for change, for an opportunity in increasing
your perspective, and understanding yourself more deeply.  For that is what
it is all about, understanding and remembering more of who you are,
learning how to use that in a daily, pragmatic and practical application
... benefiting from the results of that insight and that perspective, and
growing and experiencing more creativity and joy and abundance as a result.

That is it, that is what it is all about ... becoming, learning,
remembering who you already are ... this is one way, one technique.  This
illumination moment is one technique to allow you more opportunity to
remember and experience, most importantly, experience, who you already are,
for that is again what it is all about.  You are choosing to experience
yourselves as physical beings, therefore, seeing yourself as energy, as
light, will allow you to experience that side of yourself as well,
simultaneously, and you can use this perspective to your advantage in many
ways. Allow your imagination to be your guide.  We thank you now for
allowing us to share this idea, which we have called, illumination.
