Rush Limbaugh and the End of Hate Speech

There is a new revolution going on in our country. Congressional hearings have been convened regarding birth control and its status as part of health care for women. You may have seen the U.S. House of Representatives all-male panel providing evidence against its availability on religious grounds. Women who were invited to speak were turned away. This action brought national attention with more than a million people signing petitions against the process of these hearings.

Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University law student who was scheduled to speak at the original hearing but denied a voice, was invited by our U.S. Congress women to give her testimony as part of the public discourse a few days later. No Congressional video of this meeting was allowed, but the media covered the event.  Sandra spoke to a range of situations requiring birth control for health reasons or pregnancy prevention needed by students she knew.

These hearings and other laws that have been introduced have been an attempt to turn back the clock 50 years on the availability of birth control and other health care for women in our country. Freedom of religion and other themes are being used to try to remove already established rights.

In response to this hearing, Rush Limbaugh, a prominent voice of the right wing hate speech industry in the U.S., spent three days verbally attacking Sandra Fluke as a “slut” and a “prostitute”. He even stated that she should provide video of her sexual encounters, assuming, as he did, that “we” were paying for her birth control.

The blowback on this insanity caused an outcry from women all over the nation. It also led 98 of his advertisers to hold their advertising from his radio show in the next two days. Currently over 142 companies have voiced their desire not to be associated with any programming that is hateful or controversial. It’s even been said that the entire right-wing radio industry could potentially go down with Rush.

WHAT is happening here? We believe that HATE is no longer as acceptable as it has been in the past. Advertisers are aware that women between 24 and 55 are the target audience for sales. We would guess that many women between those ages use or have used birth control. More important, women and younger listeners are being alienated by the angry and negative approach to politics displayed today. HATE does not SELL.

WHY is this happening? There is a new energy growing in this world; it is one of light and love. We see evidence all around, whether it is a call for freedom or human rights, or a response to the needs of hungry children by children who are well fed. The human spirit is speaking out from the heart of Brilliance. Brilliance, at the heart of all of us, is the blazing light that brings awareness and understanding, and that moves us to act from love.

In these difficult times when so many are facing hardships, people are stepping out and calling for respect, sovereignty, fairness and opportunity while moving ahead with strength and hope. The dark secrets of oppression have been illuminated by the light that is here, shining on WHAT IS so that we can change it into WHAT CAN BE.

Our Brilliance makes us aware of our Oneness with all that is.  We are the Family of Man. Together we have the power to shift from the pattern of enslaving others to our beliefs, to honoring all beliefs grounded in love.

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.

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.

Thought in Action

Here is the second article in our new look at the Brilliance Formula series:

Thought in Action

By: Lynne Hoft, EdD & Vivian Hildebrandt, MA

Richard Carlson gave us a great insight when he said, “Thought is not something that happens to us, but something that we do. It comes from inside of us, not from the outside. What we ‘think’ determines what we see – even though it often seems the other way around.” Thinking is automatic; it’s going on all the time.

Where do our thoughts come from? We each have a thought bank that we carry around with us that contains all of our beliefs and thought patterns. It also contains all that we’ve learned at home, at school, and in our communities. Our thought banks contain only what we have experienced in the past.

We also have another source of thought that we call Brilliance. Brilliance is our connection to a higher dimension of thought, awareness and consciousness. It only occurs in the Now and always leads to the most expanded viewpoint.

Understanding thought is critical. Our knowledge of how thinking works determines the degree of power we have over our lives.

How can we distinguish when we are caught up in our thought bank or when we are connecting with our Brilliance? When you are worrying or feeling unsure, angry, or depressed you are caught in old habits of thinking from your thought bank. When experiencing a sense of peace, of confidence, and certainty, you have tapped your Brilliance.

Thinking about thinking is a learned habit and the biggest barrier to accessing Brilliance. We’ve been taught to “think about it”, to think about everything. All of this thinking keeps us in the past and blocks the path to Brilliance. Learning new habits will prevent this tyranny of the thought bank.

Learning to quiet the mind is very important. Taking slow deep breaths or simply listening to your breath stops the thought flow. When we are quiet we can hear our intuition, the voice of Brilliance, giving us new ideas and solutions.

Many people are unaware that it is our thoughts that create our lives. We are creating all the time. Thoughts are ‘just thoughts’ until we put our attention on them, activating them into expression. If we are on auto-pilot we have abdicated our ability to choose what we create and are at the mercy of the media, advertising, our colleagues and our families, even our two-year olds. Just look around at the world today and see what extreme unconscious thinking creates.

We can change the world by learning to connect with and maintain our Brilliance. This can be done in many ways. Centering exercises like meditation and yoga help us to relax and be present. We can stay in the flow by being in nature, walking, running, playing basketball or engaging in any activity that puts us in the now. Smiling at yourself and others, laughing often, and celebrating every step of the way move us into higher vibrations.

Brilliance is the path we must take to experience higher consciousness.

When we become conscious of our thoughts and choose to put our attention on our Brilliant thoughts we elevate our expression and move into higher states of being. We truly can bring heaven to earth.

A New Look at Brilliance

This spring we decided to write a new series of articles focused on the “Brilliance Formula”.  We view this formula as the process through which one attains their personal Brilliance connection. This new understanding aligns with the current consciousness of Ascension. This endeavor is taking our awareness of Brilliance to a new level. We hope you will gain a new level of understanding your own Ascension Process and invite your feedback.

Here is the first in this series of our new look at the Brilliance Formula articles:

New Earth

A New Look At Brilliance

Lynne Hoft & Vivian Hildebrandt

Did you know that Brilliance is the key to understanding who we are and where we are going? We described Brilliance this way several years ago: “Throughout time, many words and phrases have been used to describe our natural state: innate wisdom, higher power, soul, source, love, common sense, and our favorite, natural Brilliance. In the classroom we refer to this Brilliance as a learning state of mind. In religion it is called Spirit or God. In society, many people experience it as intuition, creativity, or common sense.”

Brilliance is a part of the human package; we are all born with it. In fact, WE ARE IT.  The latest scientific studies are showing us that we exist in the field of Quantum Energy; this is the energy that all of the universes are made of.  Our mind has been programmed to see separate, distinct beings sharing space on the planet. In fact we are a part of the whole, the ALL, the unity of all energy that is.

In our third-dimensional world, the appearance of separateness, good and bad, and everything in opposition is seen as real.  In reality we are multidimensional beings. Brilliance exists in all dimensions of the Quantum Energy Field. When we think of Brilliance, we see a blaze of light, a sparkle, perhaps like a diamond or the sun shining on a lake. We are that Light, a facet of the Life Force that is alive in every living being.

It’s easy to see Brilliance in the maneuvers of a skilled basketball player, in the musical artist who makes the cello sing, and in those whose courage inspires, like the freedom riders or others who protest for freedom around the world. Yet, we usually reject, dismiss, or overlook the Brilliance that we truly are.  Most of us haven’t been trained to seek, tap into, or use our own Brilliance.  As quantum beings Brilliance IS the energy that we all are.

How can we recognize this Brilliance within ourselves?  Being certain that Brilliance is a part of us is the first and most important step.  When we accept this reservoir of unlimited potential that is ours in Brilliance, we can choose to consciously access Brilliance at all times. Our reservoir of Brilliance holds wisdom, understanding, love, generosity, compassion, and creativity.  When we see these qualities reflected in our lives, we recognize the Brilliance we are. Making this connection and daily immersing ourselves in it will result in living from our highest aspirations and making them our reality.

Living from Brilliance expands the individual expression of ‘who we are’, bringing our highest expression into form. When we create our lives from our innate wisdom, understanding, and love, we can relax. We’re living from our center where we know all is well, even in the midst of chaos. Our awareness of how we relate to the universe also expands and creates a new way of being. This links us to the whole, the oneness of all. We begin to move into collaboration and living for the highest good. Thus we create the New Earth.

Remember, Brilliance is Quantum Energy. It is Who We Are. Knowing this means that we know that connecting with Brilliance is the only way to create the next level, our next unfoldment, our next existence in the ever-expanding journey.  As Ascension moves us into the 5^th Dimension and beyond, our Brilliance Connection is the marker that pulls us into our multidimensional awareness and expression.
