We all love going to the bank or using our debit cards when our accounts are full and overflowing. Lucky for us, we all have an overflowing bank of wisdom, which we call natural Brilliance. It has nothing to do with our IQ or our academic history. Natural Brilliance is the essence of the life force that flows through us every second of the day. Some call it wisdom, Higher Power or the force field of the Universe. Others experience it as intuition, a gut feeling, a hunch, or common sense. It is ours and it is always overflowing and abundant.

For those who study the body, they realize that our bodies have wisdom so grand and automatic that we’d be hard pressed to get all the systems to work well if we had to think of each one, organize the order of things, and then instruct the right part of the body to respond. In fact, we’d probably not make it through one minute of life if our thoughts had to “think it done.”

The same is true of the mind. We do have a part of our minds that records, sorts and stores each event and piece of learning for future use as necessary; we call this the computer mind. We also have a much grander mind, the Brilliant Mind, that is available to us from day one. For every story of the global condition that gets our concern, for every seeming seismic quaver in our personal life, there is an inborn treasure chest, full of answers and new ideas just waiting to be unlocked and then transmitted to us for our understanding and use.

The stress we experience from our worries, judgments or our old beliefs about how life should work quickly morphs into a relaxed viewpoint when we tune in to the station of our Brilliant Mind. This mind gives access to the wisdom of the entire Universe, more than enough by far to handle any situation or stress that occurs.

How does the Brilliant Mind work? How do I get to it? The most important way to access the Brilliant Mind is to slow down, breathe deeply, and get quiet. You can’t hear it if you are talking; you’ll never catch the transmission if you are speeding every minute of the day. And worry, anger, frustration and anxiety will block the messages. Those feelings all relate to the past or the future; we need to stand in the here and now and listen softly for the answers to our questions. The Brilliant Mind is heard in the present moment.

You may wonder if you can trust such an elusive or intangible mind. Do you trust, that when you punch some numbers into your cell phone and hit the send button, that you will reach the person you intended to? With those little embedded chips we consistently reach the number we entered. Even without seeing a cord or wire, we trust that the waves of energy our phone connects with are doing their job, because it works like clockwork (in the right location, of course). If there is a dropped call, we assume some interference. If we are traveling in an exotic location, we assume the towers may be too far away to give power to our call. But do we doubt the technology, the patent ability of this phone to work? Never—it has proven itself over and over. The same is true with Brilliance.

Brilliance can show us the big picture of our lives. It shares the answers to perturbing questions, doubts and uncertainties. Brilliance shows us how to leave stress in the dust and to live each day as the exciting adventure that life was meant to be. We have this natural core of Brilliance, and it will never steer us wrong. Open the vault in your Bank of Brilliance today to uncover the riches that await you.
