Winning the War Within

Our Guides -- parents and society -- taught us how to fight things outside. They believed our obstacles came from people in positions of power. And our goal in life was to be strong and overcome life's challenges by accepting ourselves according to their teachings.

It's easy to forget they were wrong. The real fight is with the beliefs and values defining us by race, color, gender, age, religion, education, and status.

Meanwhile, as Enlightenism practitioners we have created a new education system to overcome what our Guides  taught us. Some may find it difficult to embrace the Enlightenism system because, on the surface, it seems we're attacking our parents for doing the best they chose to do to properly raise us.

Nevertheless, when we go beneath the surface, to the causal level, we clearly understand this is not an attack on our parents or society, but a self-awakening experience.  It's only when we go beneath the pain that we understand the origin of our pain.

Similarly, our daily war with illusory beliefs and values keep us in a state of denial about who we are. We also cannot accept that the war we're waging against external illusions is a losing cause.

The illusions exist because we give them life with our beliefs and values.. In other words, we're fighting with ourselves to confirm an awareness-of-being created from illusory beliefs and values. 

Some 21st Century Enlightenism practitioners have armed ourselves with new beliefs and values to win the war within. We are disarming our toxic enemies one belief at a time.

We have armed ourselves with clarity and powerful insights from "Enlightenism" a new book that describes solutions for winning the internal war against  illusions of lack, limitation, and struggle. The following excerpt from the book is provided as armor to wear in the war to free ourselves from victimization and powerlessness.

     "The desire to change your life is the first freedom in the Enlightenism formula. It is this desire that motivates you to begin your work to discover Enlightenism by creating your first visualization. The goal of your visualization is to free yourself from the pain you're unwilling to tolerate.

     "To achieve this freedom, you must listen to, and trust the silent intuitive ideas within you. When you do this, you can create a boundless flow of new ones and unleash the limitless power of Enlightenism within you. These new ideas contain within them the cleansing power to free your mind from the clutches of toxicity.

     "One of the primary misinterpretations about how to change your life is believing that it takes too long, and you don't have enough time and power. When the desire is strong enough and the commitment firm, then  you always have enough time and power."
