What are illumined minds? First we will consider what is illumination.

Have you ever, when trying to grasp some truth or to interpret the meaning hidden behind certain words or symbols, suddenly felt a light flash into the mind, illumining it and bringing with it understanding? At such times you see what formerly you had been unable to see.

Where did the light come from, and what caused the meaning to become clear when before you could not grasp it?

Evidently there is a part of you that knows, and a part of you that does not know, but which is being taught as fast as is made possible by your mind earnestly seeking to know. In other words, this shows that one can get knowledge from within—aye, whatever is needed for use; for what is it that causes the mind to seek for any knowledge, if not that inner source that wishes to express forth and bring such knowledge into use?

That is what the soul is ever seeking to do—to pour light into the mind to enable it to see; but it is only certain types of mind—those of awakened souls—that listen to and heed the wishes of the soul consciously. All others are forced to learn by hard experience, through the lessons that trouble, mistakes, failure, sin, suffering and sorrow teach.

Illumined minds are those of awakened souls that have learned to turn within and wait upon the soul in their need, and to receive the light which will guide them on their way. Yes, there are many of such, and more and more are learning to turn there these days of trial and tribulation, and are listening and receiving and being blessed thereby.
