Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." --Goethe

An online friend of mine posted a quote from Goethe for a mutual online friend Elizabeth, who is boldly stepping out and away from the safe and familiar in order to follow her Highest Desire, her Heart's Calling...I want to share my response to Victoria's posting here:
Hello Victoria, Elizabeth and others on or considering The Path,

Goethe’s declaration is a favorite of mine:

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness...The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred...Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." --Goethe

Upon reading it again in your post Victoria it resonated more strongly than ever before and I was given pause to reflect…its message hits home at an altogether different and deeper level. Of late the Universe has gifted me with the teachings of “The Law of Attraction” and I have been studying various teachings. As I re-read Goethe’s declaration I had an intuitive flash and a work from Gahlil came to mind. Gahlil is the author of Professional Dreamer: 6 Simple Steps that turn Dreams into Reality .

In Gahlil’s work she speaks of “trying, lying, crying” in reference to her own journey of healing and turning her own dreams into reality and the lessons she learned along the way. Essentially Gahlil says that in “trying” we are giving ourselves a way out, a back door exit and in doing so we are giving a mixed message to the Universe. We are not truly in Alignment with the All-That-Is nor the Essence of who we really are. Therein lies the “hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness…” which Goethe speaks so eloquently of. Gahlil shares her discovery that in giving such a mixed message to the Universe in our so-called “trying” we are “lying” to ourselves and eventually end up “crying”.

On the other hand, “the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too…”. The moment one commits oneself to one’s highest desires, one moves from Alignment with All-That-Is and sends an unequivocal message to the Universe from their Highest Self. Like energies draw unto themselves like energies and “all sorts of things occur to help one that would not otherwise have occurred…”. In acting from Alignment, we draw unto ourselves everything that we need to fulfill our Highest Desires and accordingly we manifest said Desires.

“Boldness” does indeed have “genius, power and magic in it.”…and, yes, unequivocally YES, begin it now. Thank you Goethe, Gahlil, Victoria and Elizabeth. Godspeed Elizabeth, the Universe is awaiting to fulfill your every desire. Have courage, move from your natural state of being, that of Joy, Love and Abundance and your every desire will manifest. It is already so.

Joy, Love and Abundance,
Right Here, Right Now,

Bryan

Welcome and Expression of Gratitude!

Welcome everyone to my new blog! I am de-Lighted to have the opportunity to share with you my story of Opening to Radiance, an Awakening and coming Home to our natural state of Being, a state of Joy, Love and Abundance in the ever-present Now.

Firstly, I humbly express my gratitude to my family and the many friends and angels who in one way or another have been an integral part of my unfolding...you know who you are and Bless you for sharing your Essence so selflessly and generously...

And now to begin...I know many of you will be wondering what do I mean when I say Opening to Radiance? When I speak of "radiance" I am refering to the radiance of Energy. Everything in the Universe is Energy. Trees, rocks, animals and yes, humans, are all composed of Energy. As a species, we have simply forgotten this because of the limitations of the perceptions of our senses. Energy vibrates at different rates and that of apparently "solid" objects, including humans, simply vibrate at a slower rate and are more dense and stable, taking on the feel and appearance of solidity. As humans, in our apparent solidity, and with the limitations of the perceptions of our senses, we have simply forgotten our divine energetic Essence... our "Radiance"...

Thus the process of Opening to Radiance, is one of re-membering that our Essence is one of Energy, a Divine spark, a Stream of Consciousness flowing from an Ocean of All-That-Is. We exist eternally in the ever-present Now, we are connected to everything, we need never fear lack and our natural state of Being is one of Joy, Love and Abundance... of "Radiance"...

So, how do we go about such a re-membering process? (to be continued)
