New World Relationships

Written by Lynne on September 1, 2011 – 3:10 pm -

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.

Moods, The Missing Link to Self Awareness

Written by Lynne on July 26, 2011 – 12:10 pm -

Today we discuss the fourth element of the Brilliance Formula in the current context of rapid evolution in consciousness. This is the fourth article in our series of 12 new articles updating the Brilliance formula.

Moods, the Missing Link to Self Awareness

Lynne Hoft and Vivian Hildebrandt

An essential step to Ascension, moods are often the missing link to self awareness. They are the extension of our thoughts in action. In duality low moods indicate a drop to patterned, habited, thinking. High moods evidence a strong Brilliance connection and are the state of fifth-dimensional beingness.

Moods are accumulations of feelings that we visit, re-visit, and hold close. When these feelings are negative, the moods they create are low moods.  Remember, we choose thoughts by giving them attention and thus create feelings. We also choose the amount of attention we give these feelings. In doing this, we create moods. We can change this pattern by shifting our attention.

The importance of recognizing our moods is essential to expanding awareness for personal growth. It provides tools for weathering low moods and shifting to higher moods – raising our consciousness. This is a play of thought and feelings into our current perception – to knowing it’s just a low mood and will pass. It is not our terminal state of being. This gives us the skills to weather low moods and thereby eventually move out of low mood habits.

Moods are like storm warnings. They give us a heads-up so that we can take action and maintain our safety and wellbeing.  We can then avoid extended periods of stagnant energy which has a detrimental affect on all parts of our lives. Awareness and the power of choice can move us to higher moods and can sustain our life-giving energy so that we can achieve our goals and accomplish our individual purpose in life.

Understanding moods is an essential skill to maintaining our Brilliance connection. The journey through our moods is a microcosm of the path to Ascension. Recognizing the urgency related to low moods gives us the perspective we need to know the shift to higher moods is inevitable, for it is our Natural State of Beingness.

The biggest mediator of moods is remembering who we truly are—the powerful co-creators of our lives and the world.  Our Quantum Self has never been victimized. Our true self has been guiding and directing the play that we call life while we have been on stage, sometimes forgetting our lines, until with practice every last line and lesson has been learned and remembered. What emerges in us is strength and a trust that we are bigger than any mood or circumstance we encounter. Once we remember and take on our rightful role as director, we move forward with ease and joy and gratitude.

Duality is a temporary state that we are moving beyond. Once we are fully seated in our Brilliance the effects of duality cease to affect us and fade from our consciousness. Now we ascend from duality into the true expression of our existence – fifth dimension and beyond.

Lifting Low Moods

Written by Lynne & Vivian on September 28, 2010 – 12:47 pm -

Here are more key strategies for preventing or lifting low moods: When you’re in a low mood, shift your thinking to something else; this will allow your mood to rise more quickly. When you’re facing a situation that could lead you into a low mood, repeat favorite posit

Moody

ive phrases, such as All is well. Let go and let God. This is an illusion; just let it be. You also can shift your attention to a favorite funny story; laughter is guaranteed to kill a low mood.

A sense of urgency in any mood may indicate that it’s time to slow down and check your thinking. Most anything can wait 24 hours. Practicing patience gives us the best chance at good decision making. Getting still and being quiet lets inspiration surface. Remember, do not personalize the comments made by others when they are in low moods; their low mood is talking, not their true feelings. We don’t have to join them. We can “get out of Dodge.”

We live in a world that is full of low moods. We have all experienced the discomfort of being around someone who is speaking from a low mood; either their words are hurtful to us or we just don’t know how to respond to their rant about an issue. A wise man suggested that, in either case, we simply find compassion for those who are being mean or difficult. We only have to be around these people or situations for a few minutes or hours; they have to live with their minds all the time. The bigger question may be: How do we remain positive and uplifted in a world that seems to be negative and filled with conflict and hatred? When we are able to access our Brilliance, we create a different world, one that comes from our highest thinking and feelings. From this place we see the best in those around us and, eventually, in the entire world.

Once we understand how mood levels work, we don’t have to repeat the mistakes of the past. We can begin to create more extraordinary relationships. We learn not to make big things out of nothing, not to buy into low moods, and to recognize when it’s time to take a break and do something to give ourselves a boost. Taking a deep breath can be all we need to shift back into our Brilliance. If you are really active or athletic, you might do something physical, such as going for a walk, riding a bike, or playing a round of golf.

Once we’ve removed ourselves from a situation we thought was serious, we sometimes can look back and see the humor in it. The real challenge is when we see the humor in a situation someone else is going through but they can’t see it that way yet. We’ve learned the hard way when not to laugh. Remember to be gentle with yourself. These situations will tend to disappear by themselves if we do not give them too much attention.

We do have the power to shift our moods. With practice we can choose to live from our Brilliance, which always brings forth our highest moods.
