ENLIGHTENMENT
en·light·en·ment (inˈlītnmənt,enˈlītnmənt) : the action of enlightening or the state of being enlightened.
Have you ever wondered what else there is to learn about Enlightenment and/or where it even came from or started? Thank you to the History Channel for opening our eyes and inspiring all of us even more so than we could have ever imagined … https://www.history.com/topics/enlightenment
European politics, philosophy, science and communications were radically reoriented during the course of the “long 18th century” (1685-1815) as part of a movement referred to by its participants as the Age of Reason, or simply the Enlightenment. Enlightenment thinkers in Britain, in France and throughout Europe questioned traditional authority and embraced the notion that humanity could be improved through rational change. The Enlightenment produced numerous books, essays, inventions, scientific discoveries, laws, wars and revolutions. The American and French Revolutions were directly inspired by Enlightenment ideals and respectively marked the peak of its influence and the beginning of its decline. The Enlightenment ultimately gave way to 19th-century Romanticism.
THE EARLY ENLIGHTENMENT: 1685-1730
The Enlightenment’s important 17th-century precursors included the Englishmen Francis Bacon and Thomas Hobbes, the Frenchman Renee Descartes and the key natural philosophers of the Scientific Revolution, including Galileo, Kepler and Leibniz. Its roots are usually traced to 1680s England, where in the span of three years Isaac Newton published his “Principia Mathematica” (1686) and John Locke his “Essay Concerning Human Understanding” (1689)—two works that provided the scientific, mathematical and philosophical toolkit for the Enlightenment’s major advances.
Locke argued that human nature was mutable and that knowledge was gained through accumulated experience rather than by accessing some sort of outside truth. Newton’s calculus and optical theories provided the powerful Enlightenment metaphors for precisely measured change and illumination.
There was no single, unified Enlightenment. Instead, it is possible to speak of the French Enlightenment, the Scottish Enlightenment and the English, German, Swiss or American Enlightenment. Individual Enlightenment thinkers often had very different approaches. Locke differed from Hume, Rousseau from Voltaire, Thomas Jefferson from Frederick the Great. Their differences and disagreements, though, emerged out of the common Enlightenment themes of rational questioning and belief in progress through dialogue.
THE HIGH ENLIGHTENMENT: 1730-1780
Centered on the dialogues and publications of the French “philosophes” (Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu, Buffon and Diderot), the High Enlightenment might best be summed up by one historian’s summary of Voltaire’s “Philosophical Dictionary”: “a chaos of clear ideas.” Foremost among these was the notion that everything in the universe could be rationally demystified and cataloged. The signature publication of the period was Diderot’s “Encyclopédie” (1751-77), which brought together leading authors to produce an ambitious compilation of human knowledge.
It was an age of enlightened despots like Frederick the Great, who unified, rationalized and modernized Prussia in between brutal multi-year wars with Austria, and of enlightened would-be revolutionaries like Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, whose “Declaration of Independence” (1776) framed the American Revolution in terms taken from of Locke’s essays.
It was also a time of religious (and anti-religious) innovation, as Christians sought to reposition their faith along rational lines and deists and materialists argued that the universe seemed to determine its own course without God’s intervention. Secret societies—the Freemasons, the Bavarian Illuminati, the Rosicrucians—flourished, offering European men (and a few women) new modes of fellowship, esoteric ritual and mutual assistance. Coffeehouses, newspapers and literary salons emerged as new venues for ideas to circulate.
THE LATE ENLIGHTENMENT AND BEYOND: 1780-1815
The French Revolution of 1789 was the culmination of the High Enlightenment vision of throwing out the old authorities to remake society along rational lines, but it devolved into bloody terror that showed the limits of its own ideas and led, a decade later, to the rise of Napoleon. Still, its goal of egalitarianism attracted the admiration of the early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and inspired both the Haitian war of independence and the radical racial inclusivism of Paraguay’s first post-independence government.
Enlightened rationality gave way to the wildness of Romanticism, but 19th-century Liberalism and Classicism—not to mention 20th-century Modernism—all owe a heavy debt to the thinkers of the Enlightenment.
My Angels ~
Let yourselves be free both mentally and physically in order to become your true self. Let go of things which do not inspire and push you in the direction of becoming your higher self. Listen to your inner voice and guidance, keep an eye out for signs from your Angels that will help to direct your attention back to your inner self, and always look to be inspired and inspire.
Always with Light and Love Angels!
I LOVE AFFIRMATIONS

AFFIRMATIONS ~ WHY YES PLEASE
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Daily maintenance for choosing Light with Archangel Michael
- Ask Archangel Michael to disconnect you from the collective conscious/unconscious.
- Ask Archangel Michael to clear, repair and solidify your connection to God and the Heavenly Realms. (This connection goes out the top of your head)
- Ask Archangel Michael to vacuum (it can have 1 hose – or many) out any lower energies that you may have within you or your auric field. When he is done, ask him to reverse the vacuum and fill you with the highest frequency of light you can easily accept at this time.
- Ask Archangel Michael to buoy your faith in God and mankind, to lend you his faith if need be.
- Ask Archangel Michael to help you know and clearly see the truth in all situations, cutting through all illusions.
Thank you to “Your Inner Landscape” for sharing such great guidance!
My Angels, all we have to do is “ASK” for Guidance and it will be shown. Do not be afraid to reach out and ask. Have Faith and Keep that Inner Strength.
Always with Light & Love from your Angels!

Well, here you go ~ below are 50 Things To Do By Yourself, thank you to http://www.jochunyan.com/blog/50-things-to-do-by-yourself
Whatever you end up doing on your own, listen to how you feel and go with doing something that lights you up from the inside out!
- Start your own vegetable patch in your garden. Or plant them in larger planter boxes if you don’t have the space.
- Bake something that you have never made before. I love flipping through old recipe books, searching for delicious treats.
- Spend a day at a museum or art gallery.
- Meditate – sit, be still and devote time to listening to your breath.
- Review and update your core desired feelings. I use Danielle Laporte’s The Desire Map (affiliate link) because it absolutely works miracles in my life!

- Listen to an album from start to finish without doing anything else. Or find a playlist that resonates with what you are feeling on 8 Tracks.
- Go out for a long Sunday brunch.
- See a film at the cinema on your own – you won’t have to share your popcorn.
- Do a grocery shop at your favorite organic grocers and splurge on something you don’t have very often. My local organic grocer also offers personalized tea blending. I just tell them what I kind of tea I want and they create a herbal blend from various organic herbs.
- Start a herb garden that will sit on your windowsill. This is perfect for small apartments. Also, most herbs are quite hardy and will last throughout the year.
- Create a mixed tape or playlists for all your different moods and occasions. I have ones for running, yoga, studying and working.
- Take your bike for a leisurely ride and go your favorite café.
- Rearrange your wardrobe and discover old clothes again.
- Clean and organize things around your home. Try using Marie Kondo’s KonMari method for decluttering in order to spark joy!
- Visit the florist and pick out a bunch of flowers for your bedside table. Use your good vase!
- Create a calming space in your home for working on your hobbies or projects.
- Create a beautiful meditation or spiritual corner – make a little altar for your crystals, meditation bowl and candles.

- Paint, draw, sketch, write – let your emotions and intuition guide you to with this one.
- Make a terrarium from a selection of succulents and moss.
- Go somewhere in the city that you have never been before.

- Journal. Write up a list of things you would love to do, declare your dreams and intentions or simply empty out all your thoughts into your notebook.
- Do a face mask. Make one from the ingredients in your kitchen! Combine 1 tablespoon of honey, a banana and a few drops of lemon, mix it up and apply to your face.
- Roll out your mat and do yoga to rejuvenate, energize and relax. If you need a guided yoga practice that you can find online, I highly recommend Adriene With Yoga (Youtube channel) – she has amazing practices that I actually love!
- Think of 50 questions that you want the answers and consult Wikipedia.
- Do a juice cleanse for the day. Read more about my juice cleanse here.
- Rearrange things in your room using Feng Shui to bring more light, flow and harmonious energy to your space.

- Make a gratitude list. I just add to this list overtime and whenever I feel unhappy, I read through it. It instantly cheers me up and puts things into perspective.
