Divine illumination

Divine illumination is a concept found in various religious and philosophical traditions that refers to the idea of receiving insight, understanding, or knowledge through divine means or inspiration. This may involve God, a higher power, or a spiritual force providing clarity or enlightenment to individuals, often in relation to moral, spiritual, or existential matters. In Christian theology, particularly in the works of Augustine and later thinkers, divine illumination can refer to the belief that human understanding and knowledge are made possible through God's light or truth.
