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.

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.

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.

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.

Natural Brilliance, Life’s Greatest Gift

Start getting your personal gift list ready, the gifts that you will give yourself this year.  Are you longing for a simpler lifestyle, less hectic with more time for yourself?   Are you looking for that spark, the certain something that you believe life should possess and has gone missing for you?  Are you still looking for that nurturing, cherishing love that fairy tales tell us about?

Well, it all begins with us, within us. What we are wishing and searching for outside of ourselves actually exists within. If we initiate a personal “Google” search inside, we will find the answers to a simpler, happier, and authentically enlivened way of being in the world.

So, how can you do this? We suggest that you begin a study of your natural Brilliance. It is the one true book, whose chapters never end, whose adventures never fade, and whose love is ever true. Can this be? Yes, indeed!  The following quote comes from our e-book, Stop Stress Guide:The Brilliance Formula in Action.

“Brilliance illuminates our true talents, strengths, and abilities. As we clear the old patterns of thinking and belief systems that create our stress, we see who we truly are. We no longer allow our life energy to be absorbed by multiple external conditions. Instead we direct our life force into all that lights us up and gives us joy. We are able to be true to ourselves, do what we love, and live truly happy lives.”

In the game of fact vs. fiction, we promise you that Brilliance will always win. It’s a fact that our natural Brilliance is the truth of a lifetime, waiting to be discovered and activated.

Stress Relief for Anger in Relationships

Anger is a feeling all of us have experienced. We usually blame others for “making us angry” when, in fact, the real culprit for anger is the thoughts we have inside our own heads. Yes, the behaviors that others have, the accidents that occur, the “stupid” decisions, and on and on, do have the ability get a reaction from us. But, the reaction will come forth from us? Also, we determine its frequency and intensity.

Ask yourself this question: Can I let go of anger in my relationships? Because anger is such a common stressor in relationship problems, we need to give it some attention. To truly master our relationships, we need to master our feelings of anger. Anger is easily triggered because of our family conditioning and because it appears to be the “best” expression that shows how we are feeling at the time.

Our feeling vocabulary may be limited. We may be afraid, and cover it with anger. We may be frustrated to the max and let anger take over our words. We might simply feel defeated by a voicemail system when we have tried to get an important message through to a service representative. No matter when or where our anger takes the stage, we damage relationships with unrestrained anger.

Our frustration, irritation, and distress frequently build into anger because we don’t let these feelings out until we feel safe. Too often we let anger run riot with the people closest to us, or with those with whom we can “get away with it”. Because our anger response often is harsh, explosive, and quickly gets out of control, it is imperative that we recognize its source.

Natural Brilliance Brings Fun

As we have grown in our understanding of Brilliance over the past 20 years we have noticed that our lives have gotten to be a lot more fun. We had a small group of about a dozen people making this journey together. We shared our experiences, our trials and errors, as we moved from the old patterns of living into the path to natural Brilliance.

At first it was a lot easier to see what wasn’t working. Lynne says that in those early years she was aware of catching her angry parent patterns, her fears about not having enough income, and her problems with the administration at work. She says she had so many areas to work on that she could only focus on one area at a time. She was really tired of seeing her old habits playing out. A big turning point came when she realized that she was making progress. Before, she hadn’t even been aware that the way she was being was not working and not getting the results she wanted. Then she decided she could celebrate every time she caught herself saying or doing something she no longer wanted to focus on.

After awhile, we, through practice, became better at shifting our attention. We could catch the thoughts that were taking us to negative outcomes much more quickly and let them go. Then we got better and better at catching our Brilliance as it presented new ideas and ways of acting and reacting to us.

Are You Caught in Trauma or Drama?

Yesterday Lynne was talking with a very good friend of ours who commented that she still finds herself paying too much attention to what other people say or think about her. This is something that we frequently continue to deal with in our lives.

First of all when anyone gets caught up in what they think someone else thinks about them, there is a gut clenching or very uncomfortable feeling that may range from sadness or despair to anger. Some people go to the anger first. When this happens to us it is our first indication that something is out of kilter.

We have come to understand that our feelings are messengers. Negative feelings tell us that our thoughts about whatever is going on are negative. In other words, we are making up something negative about another person, believing it, and perhaps acting on it. Whenever we experience trauma and drama in our families or jobs, it is because we have made our thoughts into facts.

We have learned to fact check from our natural Brilliance. Then we don’t have to personalize what other people are saying or thinking about us.  This is a huge stress eliminator. This makes stress relief easy for us.
