The Soul’s Journey Into Light

K.E. Hansen takes readers on an enlightening excursion of scripture in her work The Soul’s Journey Into Light.

Examining the enigmatic book of Revelation, the author draws theological insight not only from her ample understanding of the Bible but through a deeply personal mystical experience that she underwent in 2012. “This vision,” she shares, “showed me that Jesus wants to…make transformative changes within each of us.”

Hansen contends that Revelation is a “roadmap” to higher consciousness, one that works on two levels. The first provides an outer meaning, one that prophesizes the end of the world. The second imparts a personal pathway that helps us grow in wisdom and “light.” To demonstrate these two aspects, she examines each chapter of the aforementioned work, explaining the signs and symbols of each verse as well as the spiritual secrets embedded in the text, which can ultimately help us to lead more God-centered lives. Demons, for instance, are not just outward signs of evil, but inner temptations that we all experience in our day-to-day lives.

The Soul’s Journey Into Light is well-argued, and the author’s voice is at once authoritative, didactic, and inspiring. Writers exploring Revelation often paint it in dark, doomsday strokes. While Hansen acknowledges the eschatological aspects of the book, she aims to help readers examine the meaning behind the text and to embrace the mystical aspects of surrendering to God’s will in body and soul.

Overall, Hansen’s book sparkles like the light she believes exists in all things. Although there are some awkward sentences throughout (e.g., “Just as the force of God’s intentions brings results in the universe, even so, God has given you ‘power’. 2 Timothy 1:7, and the force of your intentions and your willpower brings results”), her prose is also often direct, effective, earnest and uplifting.

Fans of Christian mysticism as well as books like A Course in Miracles, Interior Castle, and works by Ernest Holmes will find much to appreciate here.

The Soul’s Journey into Light is an encouraging work of biblical interpretation that cultivates inner clarity and strength.

Ridding the body of negativity and disease isn’t easy, but solace can be found in reading biblical texts, according to K. E. Hansen’s The Soul’s Journey into Light. Here, the book of Revelation is presented as the key to unlocking human potential while also leading toward a purpose-driven, spiritual life.

During a health scare in 2012, Hansen turned to intense prayer. He says that Jesus revealed himself and cured him, and this book grew out of that experience. Though the nature of that illness is concealed and the audience may be left wondering about specifics, a path toward general health and wellness is revealed. It includes growing the “inner Kingdom of Heaven” and working in tandem with Jesus, Hansen claims.

The book asserts that good health doesn’t arise in a vacuum; it requires patience and willingness to open one’s heart to God. “The more we seek His inner kingdom of heaven and His guidance, the less pain and suffering we have in life,” Hansen asserts. Recognizing that each human cell is a microcosm of God’s universe, this spiritual cleansing and self-readying is said to unite the practitioner with God.

The book’s specific scriptural focus is on Revelation, which is interpreted piece by piece and is presented as a pathway to health. The book comments on how the text might provide emotional and spiritual cleansing—for example, Revelation 2:7 (“To the one who conquers, I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.”) is presented as about someone who has successfully overcome negative impulses.

Here, to taste from the tree of life is rewarding spiritual nourishment, and attaining this spiritual harmony requires leading a Christian life, following scriptural teachings, and accepting God’s love. The text postulates that the tree of life is re-created within everyone, nourishing the body. Each section of Revelation is broken down in this manner, showcasing both Hansen’s depth of understanding of the Bible—he cross-references other holy texts to support his various interpretations—and how this particular book can be read to encourage a deeper, more spiritually pure life.

Prayer and intentional living through Jesus are hallmarks of Christian texts, and this book solidly combs through Revelation to interpret it best for those seeking better health. Still, the book does not promise miracles, nor should miracles be expected from it. It is a useful spiritual exercise that, while compelling, should not be used in place of medical advice.
