The Illuminate model is a tapestry of ideas and concepts that have been interwoven in a holistic manner designed to ease the everyday discomfort of human existence. The ideas, concepts, teachings, and practices utilized in the model have been chosen very carefully and with specific purpose, providing information leading to the model itself and a set of simple tools to use. I have created a complete picture of the human experience encompassing all levels of body, mind, and spirit, into a model that will guide people towards an inner stillness and a capacity to recognize their unique destiny in this lifetime.

The concepts of body, mind, and spirit work together in each section; both as one, and together, for what is in one, is in the whole. The model is arranged in the order of body, mind, and then spirit as the arrangement takes you from the physical manifestation of life through the mental and into the spiritual realms, thereby working from the ground up. We manifest in the body comprising of matter and perceptual sensation allowing us to see and feel and connecting us to the physical realities of life, the earth, and to each other. The body houses the mind which allows thought and emotion to create the personality and an illusion of life resulting in our personal realities. With mind-identity comes introspection and contemplation of the possibilities of the unknown, of the link to things that are merely concepts, things that are not tangible but which we either believe, or we don’t. The mind creates our own illusion of reality which can help or hinder our journey by allowing or denying spirit. Spirit allows faith, belief, and humility in the presence of Divinity and is transcendent; spirit is the portal to a life of wonder and joy.

The model is also a reminder of what we inherently know and what we have forgotten due to societal conditioning. This information is already coded into every cell of our bodies and all we need do to awaken the gnosis that resides within us, is to live it with respectful treatment of our bodies and the deliberate quietening of our minds.
