Illumination:

This article examines the notion of illumination in the Orthodox theological tradition, focusing on the conditions and modalities according to which the divine Light can be perceived by the human being. The author adopts a speculative and doctrinal approach, articulating patristic data and hesychast theology to account for the phenomenon of the vision of the uncreated Light. The central idea maintains that this illumination does not remain foreign to the material body, but reaches and transforms it in a real way, thus inaugurating a process of transfiguration of the entire being. On the theological level, the article provides a structured reflection on the relationship between uncreated divine energy and human matter, contributing to a more precise understanding of the Orthodox conception of deification as an integral transformation of the person, body and soul.
