Brilliance, Our Lightness of Being

Brilliance, Our Lightness of Being

By Lynne Hoft

Life in today’s third-dimension is fraught with peril. Corruption and deceit is rampant. Power over others is contagious. There is an ever widening gap between the haves and the have-nots. The masses are suffering while the few take more and more of the wealth. This duality experiment is coming to an end as the collective whole awakens.

More and more people all over the Earth are coming awake and seeing the game that has been afoot. All over the world people are seeing their wealth taken by moneyed overlords. Most of us are experiencing extreme hardships. Many have given up and succumbed to drugs, alcohol, and other addictions to avoid seeing the dire circumstances around them. It is difficult to rise above our circumstances long enough to see that there is Light and Love available to us.

Ascension Temple by Capstoned

All the while each of us has an Inner Brilliance, a light within, which is available at any moment to guide us through the traps and pitfalls of duality –of our own circumstances- to a new way of being, to a life of Love and Joy.

Learning to stand firm in Brilliance is the Key to dissolving all of our problems both individually and collectively.

It is so easy to get caught up in our problems and to wallow in them, to succumb to fear, guilt, worry, stress. This is the test of entrapment. At this time on earth our greatest challenge is to move beyond the entrapment of current circumstances to the truth of our Beingness.

The stakes have never been higher. We can remain slaves to a system gone terribly wrong, or we can wake up to the truth of who we truly are.

In fact, people are waking up all over the world. Becoming aware of the chaos we are living in is “waking up”. This means that our inner light, our personal Brilliance is shining brighter and allowing us to see. We see the world crumbling around us – evidence of our waking up.

We are these incredible Light Beings who have been asleep. And now it is time to wake up. As sleep walkers we have been overpowered by those driven by power and control. As awakened beings we take back the power and control over our own lives.

We know that we are Light Beings who have at our core is this blazing Brilliance that is always showing us the way – whenever we pay attention.

Paying attention is the Key. We can choose to return to the Light of Brilliance that is the core of our Beingness, or we can focus on our miscreations and continue to create misery and hopelessness.

When we follow our Brilliance, we shift our lives into all of the incredible possibilities of Ascended living. The Key now is to ascend – to transcend our old duality consciousness and all of its myriad problems by standing firm in the Brilliance that we are. We’ll know that we are in Brilliance when we feel an overwhelming Love for ourselves and all life.

The Power of Love

The Power of Love

By Vivian Hildebrandt

You may remember the old song entitled “All You Need Is Love” that was popular in the l950’s. That sentiment touches something inside of us that wants to believe in the power of love. As we get older the realities we face in the “real world” start to emerge. Our awareness of needing material and other resources grows and our faith in the power of love somehow wanes.

All around us we see the realities of food, housing and work which are necessary to our well-being. We add to these the health of our families, communities, environment, and our countries and the world. When we see wars, pollution, gang involvement and political squabbling and dishonesty, “All you need is love” doesn’t seem relevant.

At the end of the day, however, we seek companionship, personal acknowledgement, and relationships that bring us camaraderie, respect, and yes, love. If we are to move into the joy of living that we all seek, we can benefit from understanding two things. First, the true reality of life is that its smallest atomic and subatomic structures, the building blocks of life, are endowed with the energy and vibration of love. The very heart of every earth and human element is created with love at its center and source. Is it any wonder we crave and seek love in our lives?

Second, the perceived realities of hardship, struggle, and striving that we experience in living life each day are a screen or filter calling us to access the truth of our beingness, the depth of our strength. We are called to bring forth the essence of love that we are, in order to meet each challenge and  to strengthen and expand the awareness of who we are and why we are here.

Just as physical exercise strengthens our muscles, so, too, the problems or concerns which may at times appear insurmountable are not punishments, but rather the daily exercises we need to shape our muscles of love, compassion and joy. We can learn to see the love interwoven in all people and experiences when we look beyond circumstances to view the heart.

The heart of all life surpasses all else in importance and power. We call this essence Brilliance, which reflects the image of the light we truly are. A human heartbeat can be detected through the thickest steel. The physical heart, too, has more melanin molecules – that give us our ability to feel –  than any other organ in the body. These are physical facts and this reality points to a power we often do not take seriously.

We have been born with everything necessary for us to make life’s journey of learning successful. We have been taught about our frailty, personality quirks and vulnerabilities, but that reality is incomplete. The universal energy of Brilliance at the heart of all life will sustain us. It is the same magnificence that resides in our friends, in those perceived as ‘enemies’, in everything on this planet and beyond.

It appears then that we only need to learn to access this power so we may complete our life lessons with happiness and success. Whenever our minds linger on the past, or the future, we tend to get lost. We quickly lose sight of our power. When we focus our attention on our problems, they grow. Likewise, when we give our energy to solutions, they flourish. We always have the choice to move in either direction. The shortcut is to release everything to our innate and universal Brilliance and then watch what happens. We will receive the next steps and the courage to move ahead.

Our lives here have personal and communal purpose. The vibrations we emit through our thoughts and actions affect everything, because we are co-creators of life. We are strong and powerful because of the Brilliance we embody and our job is to accept more and more of this love so we may build a new and better world for all.

Brilliance Makes Everything Possible

This is the last of 12 new articles updating the Brilliance formula. Brilliance can only exist in the present moment. Accepting the energy of Brilliance unites us with wholeness. Anything is possible with Brilliance.

Brilliance Makes Everything Possible

Lynne Hoft & Vivian Hildebrandt

Today we see the world changing in front of our eyes. Full disclosure of what has been is becoming visible to us. We are daily watching the revelation of media controls in the Murdoch scandal that is breaking open. Our government seems out of control and totally disconnected from reality as we observe the discussion of raising the debt ceiling, increasing taxes, and gutting public programs. More evidence is available regarding UFO sightings, uncovering the truth of Roswell, and our bases on the Moon and Mars.

Our Brilliance connection is opening the doors to an ever expanding growth in consciousness, and a knowing that we are returning to our original state of fifth-dimensional awareness and experience. We are coming Home. Our Mother Earth is shifting and expanding and making her healing and Ascension imminent. We are all in this together.

Brilliance is here Now. As each of us exist and daily create our experience, we have access to the world of unlimited possibilities through Brilliance. Brilliance bridges our present reality to an expanded awareness that the Brilliance we experience is universal and connects us to each other and all that is.

We grow up learning to categorize, to connect the dots, and to achieve autonomy. This enables us to function but leads to separateness, a perception that we exist only individually. Although we find belonging, in families, in clubs and causes, and in communities or countries, we remain alone. Our personalities exhibit this perception. And our world also reflects this perception in its factions, divisions, and conflicts.

In fact, the earth and all of us need to understand our Oneness in order to survive, to remain a whole. Brilliance is the key to this understanding of wholeness. Brilliance, no matter what you name it, is the conscious, creative energy that all is made from. It is the connecting force of the universe. When we individually tap into this quantum force, any truth which we gain is universal and includes the good of all.

In the concluding chapter of our book Activate Your Brilliance, we stated “anything is possible with Brilliance”. As we’ve written each of the articles in this series, making the Ascension connection with each component of the Brilliance Formula, we have discovered how each includes aspects of a much greater consciousness. We see how living in and from our core of Brilliance brings us Home to the perfect Nowness of our existence.

A new world is our next step. As quantum light and love increase in our world, we have the choice either to reject or accept this gift. Accepting the energy of Brilliance reunites us with wholeness. We are able to make peace within ourselves and to live in compassion in our outer world. Can there be any greater freedom than this? No honor, recognition or accomplishment can supercede the total harmony and peace that flow from the heart of Brilliance.

We see that living from the consciousness of Brilliance is the catalyst, the engine driving the return to an Ascended earth where the aspects of our wholeness and fullness as beings of Light are expressed. This is shifting the world around us. We are creating a New Earth, one where we have perfect sovereignty. We are free to create and explore our best and highest expression. We have all we need without restriction. Best of all, living from Brilliance is joyful. This “incredible lightness of Being” brings laughter, awe, and wonder to each moment of our day.

Our change in consciousness is changing the world around us. Today we are on the threshold of manifesting our deepest and fondest dreams. As we stand in our core of Brilliance, a brilliant world of Love and Joy opens before us. Anything and everything is possible.

Gratitude: The Doorway to Ascension

This is the eleventh of 12 new articles updating the Brilliance formula.. A key to living from our Brilliance is learning to maintain an attitude of gratitude in every situation.

Gratitude: The Doorway to Ascension

Lynne Hoft & Vivian Hildebrandt

We are on the journey of a lifetime. We are in the midst of creating a new world, in which Spirit merges with all things physical in a conscious way.  In this world, our hearts are integrated with our minds so that what we create is in harmony with the good of all.  The short cut, the key that unlocks our ability to complete this monumental task is gratitude.

From our earliest years we are taught to “say thank you”, to bless our food or “say grace”, in order to appreciate what we are given in life. Thus begins our attitude of gratitude. We begin to pay attention to what is working in life.

Our third-dimensional world is structured in duality. As we grow we are conditioned to pain and suffering.  We tend to become more aware of what is not working for us. We are trained to be fearful and wary of the difficulties life brings.

Now, we are waking up from the illusion of the harshness of life that has prevented us from experiencing the light and love that also exists moment to moment. We begin to see that we have the ability to choose. We can see only the dark side of life, or we can choose to see the light and love that is also present. We realize that we are not helpless beings subject to all the pain and suffering life throws at us. Rather we are free spirits with the ability to choose our path and to choose our response to all that our life holds.

Gratitude is our acknowledgement of the perfection in our lives. Through it we see the benefits of even our difficult times. We are able to recognize the gifts in our everyday encounters and interactions. Gratitude comes from the heart of our Brilliance and opens the door to happiness.

We learn that love is the true core of our existence and that when we filter our experience through the eyes of love we are open to much more expansive possibilities for beingness. We can choose at any time to integrate more of our true nature into each action in each moment. The choice to live from our Brilliance creates striking changes immediately in our internal and external worlds.

Gratitude as a way of life is possible when we become aware that each person and event in life has the ability to contribute to expanding our minds, our hearts, our health, our spirit—every aspect of ourselves. To make thankfulness or gratitude a way of being, we need only to give up our limiting perceptions of ourselves others. When we recognize the seen and  the unseen dimensions of life, we can experience the wholeness in ourselves and in others. Our true beingness is much bigger than our day-to-day behaviors.  The Brilliance, the wholeness, of all life is rapidly touched and entered through acts of gratitude, thankfulness and kindness.

Gratitude is the key to opening our hearts to the love that is always with us. The more we are able to be grateful, to appreciate what is in our lives, the more we will be able to see what is working for us. Gratitude is something to practice, to develop, and to expand in our lives. When we practice gratitude, the art of seeing the gifts each moment holds for us, it becomes easier to see life as a constant stream of blessings.

Our problems shrink to manageable proportions as we become able to see the gifts life is bringing through all our experiences. Eventually our problems become the gifts of life that bring us greater understanding, awareness, and confidence that life is working for us.

It is this attitude of gratitude that brings a new and better world into reality. With each breath, with each thought, we are creating our lives. When we move into our heart of Brilliance we will create the cooperation, respect, gratitude and love that shape and sustain the individuality and oneness, the sovereignty of all.

It is our attitude of gratitude that overcomes all hurdles and shows us the light, the beauty, the gifts that are always available in each moment. Gratitude opens our hearts and minds to joy. It is the doorway to Ascension.

The Present Moment: An Awakening to What Is

This is the tenth of 12 new articles updating the Brilliance formula. Brilliance can only exist in the present moment. A key to living from our Brilliance is learning to maintain a NOW focus.

The Present Moment: An Awakening to What Is

By Lynne Hoft & Vivian Hildebrandt

The present moment is the only moment which holds what we most desire. All of us seek peace of mind, perhaps even more than pure happiness, when we take a breath after our long days are done. Being open to the present moment is like switching on a light in a dark room. The present moment is how we find illumination for our lives.

Understanding and maintaining the present moment is critical to living in a fifth-dimensional reality. Books have been written and attention is being paid to the power of NOW.  This is a common “ascension” theme. But what is it that makes the present moment essential to the growth of conscious awareness?

The work we do each day has a tendency to distract us. Many are prone to let the present moments of drama or trauma, or the simple “spilled milk” incidents, rule the day. While we are shocked by the unexpected, by illness, and by everyday disruptions, we all have a chance to choose how we integrate these experiences into the daily flow of our lives. We can let our thoughts and judgments color each incident, or we can be open to the possibilities for good that each experience carries.

In the duality world, third dimension, the passage of time is expected. Yesterday, tomorrow, next week, next year, are always relative to the moment. Promises made yesterday, goals for the next five years, and the relativity of when all things come together for the next phase to occur, are part of the planning process. Everything takes time.

The present moment offers so much. Joy, excitement, love, and creativity exist in a place that we can access.  They are experienced in the Now and they radiate as a natural result of touching our Brilliance. In each moment, we must choose to use life to further our strength and ability to connect with others, to teach and learn, and to put the heart of respect into each action and interaction. When we do not choose, we are no more than robots caught in their digital programming, we act from the old patterns each one of us has.

When we talk about the present moment, we are referencing the Now – the instant of beingness.  And we are referencing the fullness, the wholeness, the completeness that this moment holds. It is understood that in the present moment, all exists to experience the total, perfect presence of self, of life, with the fullness of Joy and Love.

Imagine a world where time doesn’t exist. There is no waiting for dreams to come true. There is no long arduous process of learning the skills required to accomplish some great mission. We don’t have to amass lifetimes of experience to make valuable contributions to our society or to our world.  We have all we need in each moment to contribute our best to life and to experience the joy which that brings to others and to ourselves.

In the fullness of our Brilliance we live in a fifth-dimensional world where we always have access to all that we desire. We always live in the present moment. We experience the perfection of self and of each other. All of our needs are met. Abundance is the order of existence. Love and joy fill each moment. We exist fully and experience the oneness and the allness that life holds for us.

The more we are able now to experience the present moment the more we leave the third dimension behind. It is an awakening to what is. We experience our Brilliance—the continual wisdom and connection we have to all.

New World Relationships

This is the ninth of 12 new articles updating the Brilliance formula. We can create relationships that reflect Brilliance. This significantly expands the collective whole and leads to new dimensions of experience.

New World Relationships

Lynne Hoft & Vivian Hildebrandt

The key to healthy, happy relationships is Brilliance. All of the aspects of the Brilliance Formula contribute to one’s ability to create healthy relationships. The first step is to create a healthy relationship with self.

We live in a world of relationships. Whether we have a close family or no family, a few friends or many, relationships are essential to our awareness of ourselves and our development as human beings.  We come to know ourselves early in life through our interactions with those around us. We receive direct information about our capabilities and character. At the same time we interpret freely and add these perceptions to our self-concept package. It is our “me-concept” that we take into the world that is the magnet for the relationships that follow.

Through the highs and lows of life we are searching for our identity.

• We can choose to know ourselves through the judgments and perceptions of others that we have stored in our memory banks.

• Or, we can search for ourselves in another realm, using our inner access to our expanded self.

We have always had an expanded Quantum self with access to Brilliance and universal experience, characterized by freedom and joy.

As we move beyond our “thought” patterns, beliefs, and patterns of thinking, we gain a stronger connection to the innate Brilliance that is the core truth of who we are. Then we can become aware of how beliefs and thinking are the stuff that all human beings are dealing with. What we discover in self, we see in others. What we see in others often parallels our own habits and patterns of being.

We learn to recognize our “feelings” and the messages they give us about our thinking. We know when we are caught up in old habits and ways of being and when we are aligned with our Brilliance. Eventually we recognize in others the same pattern. We see when those others in our lives are acting out of their old habits—reacting to the feelings their beliefs engender. Often it is easier to see this play out in others than in ourselves.

As our understanding of “moods” grows we gain some mastery at knowing when to progress and when to hold back. We become able to connect our moods to our actions. We learn to avoid decision-making and conflict when in low moods. This alone eliminates many potential situations from erupting into conflicts. We also begin to recognize low moods in others and to allow space for low moods. We learn to avoid confronting and pushing when the mood levels prohibit healthy, sane interactions.

The core principles of the Brilliance Formula allow our relationships to improve. We are more able to accept that we are caught in an old habit vs. making ourselves wrong—condemned to being an eternal mess. And we are able to see others through the same lens. We are all learning to grow in our Brilliance.

Once we add understanding “separate realities” into the mix, our relationships are given a new field—a new foundation for development.

• We realize that our realities are unique and individual.
• We quit expecting others to think as we think and to see life as we see it.
• It is this key that opens the door to new ways of being in relationships.
• We gain the license to discover more deeply who the others are in our lives—by asking, listening, and hearing them share themselves with us.
• And we also share ourselves with them.

Now we are available for a deeper intimacy and a deeper love connection within our relationships.

Adding “forgiveness” moves us into a new level of being with others and with ourselves. We are able to go beyond our limits and forge pathways to freedom. We free ourselves and others from old molds, old ways of being. Doors open to new worlds, new realities where we are free to be our best.

When we bring our true self to “relationships”, the outcome is phenomenal. We give ourselves freely and can accept the sacred gifts that each other person brings. New worlds of relationships start when we find our wholeness and begin to recognize the wholeness of others. We create from this foundation and work to bring wholeness and healing into every action and interaction. When all work together from their Brilliance, their truth, anything is possible.

We human beings are a collective. We don’t learn alone, grow alone, or become all we can be, alone. Me, me, me is the consciousness that is reflected in the world we see today. It is finding our identity not as “me” but as “we”, a collective whole, that is the way we move forward. We are ONE. When we truly recognize our Oneness, the doors to heaven open and we go beyond our wildest dreams.

Forgiveness, the Key to Personal Freedom

This is the eighth of 12 new articles updating the Brilliance formula.Forgiveness is the doorway to true Ascension, allowing us to discover our divine humanness.

Forgiveness, the Key to Personal Freedom

Lynne Hoft & Vivian Hildebrandt

Forgiveness best serves the one who is doing the forgiving. It is one of the final steps to understanding the divine in us and to personal freedom. True freedom cannot be attained without forgiveness.

Forgiveness is not a concept that is welcomed in the public domain of the world as we experience it today. Although there are those who find forgiveness the only way to let go of grief and trauma, there are others who hold on tightly to grudges, judgments and misunderstandings. For them, forgiveness is either unknown or unused.

Every news medium covers the details of damaging events, exchanges, and circumstances. Whether these concern purposeful despoiling of water, usury in financial transactions, or assaults on our feelings, bodies, or reputations, the effects on us are huge. When warring factions continue ancient feuds regarding religious viewpoints or territorial disputes, our world and its inhabitants are terrorized.

There is a journey to forgiveness.  Many times we’ve felt so hurt and betrayed by others that we couldn’t let go long enough to see the bigger picture. We worried that forgiving and forgetting would leave us open to being hurt again. We believed that there were some things that were “unforgivable”.  In our personal lives, we feared the vulnerability of our hurt, and we trapped ourselves in a pose of unassailable rightness. These habits and beliefs kept us locked into a “holding grudges” state of being. In many cases, we chose to suffer when we could have accepted the experience of life and learned to understand and perhaps start again through the exercise of forgiving ourselves and those who appeared to harm us.

Long ago through the writing of Carlos Castanedas, we were made aware of the concept of the “petitos  tyranitos”—the petty tyrant. From Carlos we learned how others serve as our tryants. Their presence in our lives, pushing all our buttons, forces us to grow. Carlos encouraged being grateful for the tyrants that move us beyond ourselves, move us beyond our old habits and patterns of being, allowing us to release those parts of ourselves in order to grow.

We are living in a time of completion where true resolution is available for every limiting habit or belief we’ve ever held onto. Now we have the opportunity to see with new eyes and hear with an open heart. The Light of Brilliance within us stands ready to illuminate what is the truth behind all appearances. It stands ready to pierce the armor we have created with our limiting beliefs. Brilliance brings love and peace to us in the instant we accept its impulse of connection and understanding.

By using the H’oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian technique for release and forgiveness, we have become aware of how our willingness to forgive others and to ask for forgiveness for our own transgressions, provides a bigger picture. It is clear that whether we are the antagonist or the peace-maker, we in fact play both roles for one another to create the space where we are willing to go beyond appearances and truly transform ourselves and our world. The greatest piece of this process for us is the act of forgiving ourselves. Forgiving self allows us to accept a transformation, a transfiguration, where healing and wholeness are born from pain and suffering.

Forgiveness is the doorway to true Ascension. It allows to us to truly move beyond all that prevents our discovering our mastery, our majesty, and our divine humanness.

Separate Realities is the Key

This is the seventh article in our series of 12 new articles updating the Brilliance formula. Understanding and practicing Separate Realities is critical to personal and collective growth and expansion.

Separate Realities is the Key

Lynne Hoft & Vivian Hildebrandt

There has never been a time with a greater need for understanding Separate Realities. At this moment in history with all of our assumed differences in populations, cultures, religions and belief systems, the focus is on what separates us. At this time when our nation is engaged in war on multiple fronts with corporate interests at the fore, the needs of our citizens seemingly have little or no importance. At this time when major cycles are ending on our planet and many fear the end of times, others stand in their heart song creating a new order beyond our limited concepts of time, space and causation.  Understanding and embracing Separate Realities is the key.

Separate Realities is one of the most overlooked elements of the Brilliance Formula. It is the most critical component to understanding multiple perceptions of reality and then creating a collective vision of who we are and what we can accomplish together.

In this third-dimensional world, our expectations about how our lives should occur have always bumped up against the reality of what is. Our expectations also reach into the territory of how others should behave, especially in our presence. When expectations don’t match reality, we respond with shock, anger, depression and disbelief. These feelings aren’t comfortable and if we wish to return to happiness we must come to terms with the fact of Separate Realities.

The phrase Separate Realities describes the unalterable fact that each person, by means of their unique individuality, will see each event and experience in life through a separate lens. Though forces beyond our control have done all that is possible to “divide and conquer” us, we are at the threshold of turning around this divisiveness by coming together for the common good of all.

We can only do this by recognizing Separate Realities as appearances. We must go beyond the False Evidence Appearing Real (FEAR) and explore our differences while at the same time recognizing that our common ground is much bigger than our personal differences.

Even without agreement among differing perceptions, coming together to explore and question other perceptions is one of the greater joys in life. When expectations are put aside so that we can inquire instead of judge, we move into new rooms, new neighborhoods, and new dimensions of all that is. What a gift this brings, all for the price of setting aside expectations which only divide us. In truth, Separate Realities make life so very interesting. These new realities we encounter challenge us to grow, to see, to become wise and more compassionate.

We are able to move beyond our perceptions to a realization that we are all parts of the whole. As such we have the collective Brilliance to move beyond all differences into a world where together we can build a tomorrow where abundance, peace, and joy prevail.

The Straightest Path to Life Without Stress

This is the sixth article in our series of 12 new articles updating the Brilliance formula. We show how to break free from stress patterns in order to create a new world.

The Straightest Path to Life Without Stress

Lynne Hoft & Vivian Hildebrandt

The straightest path to life without stress is in the resolution of old beliefs and habits of thinking. Although we have been drawing this map for our readers for many years, we know that a large majority of the population is blind to this understanding.

There has always been a struggle between the old ways and the new. When we moved from horse and buggy days into travel by automobile, there were those who remained in the old ways because of their beliefs at that time. Today we are moving into a new world once again. We have seen the progression of technology in our lifetimes. Now we are in a shift of exponential proportions, to a higher dimensional way of being.

Whenever we experience personal or collective shifts, stress occurs. Our minds recycle the old thoughts and beliefs in the face of new situations we are confronted with. A struggle ensues leaving us in fear, worry, or at best, a case of total confusion.

We can move beyond the stress we experience during times of great change. The first step is moving beyond our mindsets. Our mindset is a collection of thoughts from the past. As each generation has moved into the present moment, they have opened to new ideas and creations, and made choices through their wholeness instead of from the mindset of the past.

Stress diminishes when we seat ourselves in the totality of who we are. We are not just mind machines.  We are creative, multidimensional beings who have access to the highest vibrations, to the bigger picture of our capacities and strengths. We can rest in and utilize our Brilliance connection to traverse the sea of changes that are coming into our awareness every day.

The New World we are creating and inhabiting cannot operate at its highest if we maintain our attachment to old thoughts, beliefs and solutions. We can only ascend into higher dimensions when spirit and Brilliance fill us with expanded awareness and higher powers.

There is a lot of focus on “Ascension” in the world today. Many are unclear as to what this means. Those who are Christian make a connection to the ascension into heaven of the risen Christ. This thought is accompanied by trumpets, and a robe-clad man rising into the clouds and disappearing into Heaven.

Are there any commonalities in these two diverse images? Is moving beyond old habits of thinking and old beliefs an “Ascension”?  We could view the ascending Christ as a metaphor for lifting ourselves out of the pit of mistaken beliefs, and moving into a state of Brilliance. It could be that Ascension in current terms identifies a movement from an old, worn-out, unproductive, stressful way of seeing life to an expanded view conceived out of innate Brilliance.

This Brilliance and expanded power is a gift from the Quantum Universe, and also a responsibility. The higher power we inhabit is the resource we use to create the New World, in which love, peace, and unity abound and flourish. In this world the mind’s attention does not align with the past, but gives life only to the present moment.  In this moment we relate to others, express our highest impulses, and co-create a life of meaning and beauty.

Stress is a habit of the past that we transcend through our awakening to the wholeness we embody today, in this very moment. We need look no further than ourselves: indeed, we are who we have been waiting for.

Creating the New Golden Age

This is the fifth article in our series of 12 new articles updating the Brilliance formula. We show how to break free from old thought patterns in order to create a new world.

Creating the New Golden Age

By Lynne Hoft and Vivian Hildebrandt

At this momentous crossroad on Earth, we are individually and collectively disconnecting from an old world view and creating a new and Light-filled vision, of a new Golden Age. We are releasing and clearing old patterns of thinking and opening to a new paradigm where our highest thoughts are revealing themselves out of our Brilliance.

In the past we understood thought patterns to be collections of thought that were brought together through habit and attention. When these thoughts were brought together they gathered strength and became a lens for seeing ourselves, others and the world.

Breaking free from thought patterns that limit us is important to our personal well being and the survival of the world.  Any limitation we hold expresses itself in our attitudes as well as our actions. It is imperative to assess and shift the thoughts that hold us back from love, for love is the tie that binds us in common connection.

Because Brilliance is the force behind the new world, because it is our highest thoughts from our highest state of being that are presenting themselves, we are moving into a world filled with unlimited possibilities. This new creation is no longer limited by old third-dimensional habits of thought. And, because our Brilliance is in charge, we don’t have to see the whole picture. We know that our new earth is the combination of all of our boldest, brightest, and perfect thought creations.

Today, as we navigate through these juxtaposed thought patterns, it is critical to be vigilant in recognizing the interplay of old habits of thinking and new thought opportunities. It is critical that we recognize and release the old beliefs in order to be visited by the new dream. We are literally letting go of the old to make way for the new. We must use our understanding of thought, feelings, and moods to traverse the terrain of old habits and patterns of thought in order to arrive at a fresh place, filled with the light and love of Brilliance.

In the new dimension of wholeness, of personal and collective sovereignty, new and expanded tools are ready for our physical use that match and reflect the expanded vision of our new thought awareness.  We are arriving at new ways of living and being together that honor and activate the highest strengths and skills in each of us.

We see our desire for peace, prosperity, sovereignty, and true and highest expression matched with new and enhanced governing systems, new monetary systems, better and more aligned social systems, education, service, and so on. We are presented with new tools for energy production, health care, environmental care, all evolving out of our new thought patterns. Our destiny awaits us in Joy, Love, and Unlimited Creativity.
