A Gift of Light

Did you know that we are all born as a gift of light? There is a beautiful Spanish saying: “La mujer da la luz.” Translated, it means: “The woman gives the light.”
In essence, your mother gave birth to light, and that light is you.
From the moment of birth, you arrive as a spark of divine radiance in human form. You spend your early days adjusting to the vessel, the body, that will now house your light. Though the form may be new, the light within you is ancient and eternal.
We have always been light. It is the essence of who we truly are. Yet, as we grow and adapt to earthly life, there is a risk of forgetting this truth. The light never disappears, but it can fade from our awareness when we lose touch with the divinity we carry.
As we learn to navigate the human experience, we often become preoccupied with appearances, roles, and relationships. We begin to see others, and ourselves, as merely physical beings. In doing so, we overlook the light in one another, because we have forgotten how to see the light within ourselves.
Some will resonate with their inner light and live from that place. Others may not, having slipped into a kind of spiritual amnesia. Yet the holiness we carry, the sacred gift we embody, remains ever-present. It waits patiently to be remembered.
This forgetting creates the illusion of separation, a veil that dims our perception and leads us to believe we are disconnected from one another. In truth, the light has not gone out; it has simply been veiled.
Without this remembrance, we often search outside ourselves, for meaning, fulfilment, identity, and joy. These quests are part of our learning, but they are not meant to take us further from our essence. The gift of light is central to our being and remembering it is now essential.
Some will awaken to their light. Others may not. But we can no longer afford to live in ignorance, for the great shift is upon us. It calls to each of us, urging us to awaken and embody the tools we already hold.
Reclaiming your light may feel uncomfortable at first. It requires re-education of the soul, a willingness to see beyond the veil and remember who you truly are. But the journey is worth
it. For once you remember, you realise that the light you came in with, is the same light that will guide and save you. Your own spark becomes your sanctuary, and your beacon.
This gift of light is not small. It holds the key to the universe, a vast and infinite multiverse waiting to be explored. Through it, you connect to the highest frequencies and gain the clearest perspective.
Allow yourself this sacred insight. Be grateful for the magnificent ride we call life. Let your light shine and shimmer in its full glory, as you become a radiant one, confident, selfless, and luminous.
The more you radiate, the more you illuminate the path for others. Your light becomes a guidepost, helping others find their own way home. Together, we leave trails of light, a collective glow that makes the shift easier for all.
Some of us have walked painful paths to rediscover our light. These experiences, though difficult, have been profound teachers. What matters now is that you have awakened. There is no time in truth, only the moment of remembrance. And whenever it comes, it is perfect.
With this radiance, you begin to see the light in others. You recognise it instantly, because you have come to know your own. Living as a radiant one is your birthright, and it will be your truth in death as well.
