Inside each of us there is a voice of wisdom, a centre of knowing that we may or may not choose to listen to. Sometimes it is hard to hear a small voice amidst all the confusion and chatter of life, at other times in the peace and stillness of nature it can sing so loudly that our hearts and souls simply blossom with delight and joy at the beauty and tenderness, the certainty and strength that lies within each one of us.
We come into this life with all of the gifts, wisdom and awareness required to fulfil the soul purpose we chose before we arrived. Nothing we can dream is beyond us, but sometimes when we awaken from our dreams we stop listening and the whisperings of our inner clarity becomes distant and hard to recall.
The Oracle of Illumination is a gift and tool, that helps each one of us to remember what that inner voice is saying, to accept the unique personal gifts that we each have and remind us to honour our individuality enough to bring this potential forward in such a way that it has a chance to flourish, and thereby enrich our own journey as well as those of our fellow travellers. The Oracle guides each individual through the different steps of manifestation, from the dream through to embodying the physical reality.
The act of creating the Oracle was one of co-creation, some may call it channelling, for us it meant being sensitive to the vibrations of the Oracle itself. Having received the initial impulse to bring into being sixty images - ten images of zero to nine on a series of six different colour backgrounds with white light at the centre - we had to draw on our individual gifts. Gifts that we had enjoyed as children but that we had forgotten as adults, when the unselfconscious nature of our childhood retreated. For Philip this meant co-creation through art and for myself co-creativity through words. Two different mediums of expression working together to communicate the same message.
Sometimes images and words came in dreams but predominantly it was a case of making physical space in our lives to sit and receive without expectation. Then we would become aware of a physical vibration in the air around us and we had to merge with it, becoming as one, in order to flow with the guidance.
The centre of white light found within most of the 72 images of the pack represents the understanding that what we may believe to be true at this time is an illusion created by our current level of awareness. The white light shines as a reminder that we are on a journey of learning and therefore our awareness and understanding will shift in due course. The colours represent the feminine aspect of Source - the energies of flow and intuition. The numbers bring forward the structure and discipline of the masculine. Where the colours and numbers are brought together in the images they represent a profound point of guidance.
The Oracle of Illumination is a mirror of your inner voice of wisdom. It travels with you on your journey offering warmth, guidance and honesty with the intention of helping your soul to achieve its dreams.
Whilst working co-creatively we were also blessed by the visitation of twelve additional energies to the pack, these are The Cards of Singular Blessing - these energies are beyond the resonance of colour and numerology and open a further doorway for expansion and transformation. They bring an intense and unconditional love that accepts and honours us as we are.
There are many gifts and many challenges within The Oracle of Illumination and Phil and I have lived these teachings many times over. Each time we remembered to surrender with honesty and open our hearts to receive the truths communicated we encountered great nurturing and love on an infinite scale.
In order to bring the Oracle into being we had to commit to valuing ourselves by physically creating space for the way forward to unfold. We let go of everything in our lives that no longer resonated with our inner truth and waited. Resisting the temptation to fill the space until the vibration of our pathway unfolded for us. The journey ahead keeps unfolding beyond the reaches of any dream we have ever experienced.
Is it time for you to manifest your potential?
‘All the power of understanding and guidance you require lies within you; you are the light and the consciousness you are learning to embody. The task is to remember that you already are all that you seek to be.
The Oracle of Illumination assists with the process of remembering.’
