It is with enormous delight and complete respect that I announce the Birthing and Release of the Essence "Transcend". Transcend completes the journey of Essences of Illumination which, you may remember, started with Authenticity. It is in the Reading connected with this essence that you will finally see how the essences link together and aid with the path of Spiritual Evolution.

And so it gives me much pleasure and honour to include the channeled reading that goes with the Essence "Transcend". Please see previous entries in my blog readings for the other five essences.

The names of all six essences are:

i) Authenticity
ii) Determination
iii) Abundance
iv) Perfect Joy
v) Deep Soul
vi) Ascend

As for the other essences the investment for the Essence "Transcend" is £15 plus £1.50 postage and packing.

As ever, it leaves me to say that I hope you enjoy the essences as much as I am.

With love, blessings, and wishes of unconditional love and profound peace,

Alun Illumine

"We transcend the illusions of body and mind, and the separation perpetuated by these illusions. In this dimension, we re-discover the nature of Love for the One Spirit, of which we are all a part."

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

This Essence was birthed dually by Alun Illumine and Karen Peach on 09.09.09 at 09.09 am. It was a beautiful morning, peaceful, with a light cool breeze. A very early autumnal morning with warm colours with both the moon and sun visible in the sky..

Before going into the full reading, let us see some interpretations of what "Transcend" can mean:

- to rise above
- go beyond
- to exceed
- to surpass

All interesting phrases which give a very clear indication of what this Essence aims to help you do. But rise above, go beyond, exceed, and surpass what? Purely and simply - to Transcend the Ego Self. To understand that final connection to All That Is. Transcending the Ego Self is not something that can necessarily be explained in detail, but is something that needs to be experienced for one's self. The main aim of this Essence is to do just that.

Transcend is the only Essence of Illumination which has been birthed jointly (all other essences have been brought through via one individual). Although each of the Essences in the range are balanced as far as Universal Consciousness is concerned, Transcend Essence contains the personal energies of The Illumine and The Illuminatrix. A further reminder for us that to Transcend, we must understand that our true nature is a perfect balance of masculine and feminine.

A message from The Guides:

"Long has been the journey of so many Souls to return to the Source of All That Is. And now is coming the time when all that we have worked for is coming to fruition. The learning for this part of the journey is almost over but then again, it is also the beginning of the next part of the journey. Learning and evolution, development and expansion - they are part of the true purpose of the Universe and Consciousness as a whole. To grow, expand, create, unconditionally love, and evolve.

The Ego Self is limited, fearful and constantly compares itself to others, and therefore consistently is found wanting. How many times in the past have you observed others and thought to yourself "I'm much better than them" or the opposite "I'm not as good as them". The truth of the matter is - neither one is better than the other. You are in fact that the same. Part of the same Consciousness. An extension of the All That Is, in a similar way that a branch that appears separate is still a part of the whole tree.

To Transcend means you have recognised the Ego and risen above its control - and in so doing, you have returned to your True nature; Transcend means you have personally experienced, and now consciously recognise all that is not the real You (aided by the Universal Law of Reflection).

For so long humanity has been progressing along a path of evolution in order to Ascend and aid in the Ascension of the planet as a whole. This ascension is part of the evolution of the Universe and the Universe cannot evolve or Ascend if all the parts are not where they need to be. Oft times we have slightly despaired at how difficult people make lives for themselves and those around them. However we have never given up hope or trust that they will finally understand the Unconditional Loving Consciousness that they really are. Neither have we ever stopped loving you, who are reading this now. There is nothing that you can ever do that will stop the All That Is from loving you purely, simply and unconditionally. Be blessed in the knowledge of this. Know that we are with you on your path - you only need to ask for help and it will be forthcoming. Perhaps not always in the ways you expect, but that's part of the problem of many - you limit yourselves to the ways in which you can be helped because you are too identified with the Ego Self - which does not want you to Trust or Evolve. For if you do, what will happen to the Ego Self? Well it will disappear and be transformed of course. Ultimately, that is the purpose of this Essence being brought forth today - to help you Transcend your Ego Selves, detach from it, surpass it and exceed its highest expectations. There is nothing you cannot be, do, or have. The moment you think it, you are it. You just need to allow it into you experience.

There is a pattern to your Evolution, and the Essences of Illumination have been birthed to aid you along that path. You start by understanding who you are and recognising all those parts of you that are authentic, allowing the Purity of the All That Is to begin to shine forth. As you begin to see that you are more than the Ego Self, you start to identify with Intention of the All That Is and find the Determination, Strength, and courage to begin letting go of the Ego Self. Finding the Strength and Determination to make the changes to your current physical existence. Understanding that the Universe is an Abundant place and that everything you need is always provided for you. (As it is said "Ask and these things shall be added unto you"). In the same way that a mother Nurtures a baby in the womb, so too does the All That Is Nurture you. It is then we begin to understand that Perfect Joy of existence and of the expansion and growth that we are all experiencing. Finding Harmony and peace in all that we do and with all whom we connect. Finally comprehending the Deep Soul Connection and realising that we are none of us separate from one another and we are all One Soul, Transforming from the negative, fearful, and limiting Ego Self, to the deeper understanding and experience, the detachment from the illusions of the physical world Transcending into a space of the purest unconditional love and peace imaginable ("the peace which passes all understanding). Which is, what the All That Is, really is! Pure, Unconditional, Love.

Working with this Essence will help you distinguish between those things you do, think, and feel that come from your Ego Self and those that flow from the Deep Soul of The All That Is. There is no judgment in this essence, just an awareness and acknowledgment of where you are right NOW, and how far you have come. For it is only in the NOW that you can really make the Deep Soul Connection with The All That Is and let go once and for all of the Ego Self. You may well find you notice things about your thoughts, feelings, and previous actions and old patterns of behaviour that you do not like (of feel comfortable with) and it is important that you continue to love and forgive yourself (and all others) for these experiences. For that is what they are - learning experiences that have helped you learn, grow, evolve, and expand. We suggest that you do not fight - to consciously fight and judge your ego self will provide it with more power, and it will become stronger still. This is not the way. Instead, simply put your consciousness to the Truth, and allow the fear to dissolve. Transcend the Ego Self and remember the All That Is.

With our eternal and unconditional love and acceptance
