You cycle through each step of Release Notice Respond Witness. You'll never actually go back to Releasing and Noticing without Responding and Witnessing the Results of your Response.
It's like playing chess. Your Opponant has just made a move and now it's your turn so first you must Release. That means releasing any other actions you thought your opponant might have taken and Release on the fact that that is the move that was made.
Now you Notice the layout of the board and explore the possible options. You might only have one or two that seem worth considering or you might have more.
You Respond by making the move of your choice.
Then you sit back and Witness the result the move that comes next.
The reason I use chess to compare Natural Brilliance is because the game naturally follows the Natural Brilliance cycle.
The decision not to repond is in fact a response of non action. You get to sit back and witness the results you get with non action.
If the universe or other person does not respond to your action or non anction. That is exactly what you are Witnessing. That was the move that was made and its your turn to Release, Notice, (what worked or didn't work. And consider other courses of action. Once you selected one you Respond with that course of action.
