Illumination
by Phillip Luis Velez

         Imagine that everything that happens to you in life happens for a reason.  Imagine that the reason is everlasting life.  Imagine that every one of us has an initial life force that guides our planet and connects us to the stars. Our connection to the universe may be connected to something even greater than that.  The connection to this all is light.  Therefore, there must be a superior light source.  In religious terms this force is personified.  Some people call it God.  Darwin called it the “big bang.”  I call it our guiding light.  It's all the same.  We are all one.  
        Human beings make decisions every day.  These decisions create our lives.  We wake up in the morning and decide what to wear, what to eat, where to go and how to get there.  We decide what street to turn,  what train to take, where to sit and who to talk to.  Most of us do not think about how these decisions are made or where they originate.  We are all born with a sixth sense that helps us make these decisions.  I believe this sixth sense is our own guiding light; our inner spirit.
        Our guiding light is our driving force of life.  The concept is associated with our entrance to this world and our exit.  Light is the first thing we see when we enter this world and said to be one of the last thing we see when we leave it.  All through our lives we are attracted to it.  As children we are fascinated by the flashes from the television set.  Later we stare into computer screens.  We thrive in the sun and gaze at the moon.  In the dark we search for the light.  We are just looking for a part of us.  I like to believe we are born tiny bits of light, This light is also known as our aura.  As we grow older and experience life, our inner light shines brighter.
        Upon our death, our aura becomes connected to a brighter light.  We enter another dimension with all existing auras.  Religion refers to this place as heaven.  This higher plain makes the world go around.  It creates the atmosphere and connects us with the stars.  We are not alone.  Each individual human being on this planet is a force of nature and we create the universe.
