"The Awareness of Individual Power

There are some pertinent points on accessing our inner power or unconditioned awareness in "Seeds from the Ashes." And for those of us who are searching for the answers to eliminate the toxic beliefs from our minds, we can find solace in knowing that the answers are found within us.

There's no need to search for answers outside of ourselves. Within us is the source of our own human power.

"Whenever you feel powerless to do something that you want to do, stop and ask yourself why. Why don't you have the power to achieve the things you desire to have?


"The obvious answer is that you don't believe you are strong enough to achieve them. If this is the case, then the solution to your problem is attaining the necessary strength or power to solve your problems.


"How do you attain this power? You attain power the same way as you attain anything else: you work for it. The harder you work, the greater your reward.


"If you desire to have a well-conditioned body, you must exercise  regularly and monitor what you eat. If you desire to have a well-conditioned mind, you must exercise it regularly and monitor what you allow to enter into it.


"For you to begin to acquire the power you need to change your life, your exercise program must begin now with you acting as your own personal trainer.

"As a trainer, you assume expert status as someone who is eminently qualified to guide you during your mind-conditioning training.

"This type of thinking requires you to assume two roles: first, as someone who knows what you need, and second, as someone who willing to listen.

"The two roles occur within your mind as your intuitive (unconditioned) consciousness and your victim (powerless) consciousness. The former is free of the illusions that victimize the latter.

"The similarities between power and powerless are  present in all of your activities. Unfortunately, those who think of themselves as victims (powerless) seldom recognize  the distinctions between the two. It is this lack of recognition that stifles your empowerment training.

"Nevertheless, power or the beliefs you have about power are simply what you think about yourself. So train yourself to know that its important to think that you are powerful rather than thinking of yourself as powerless."

The power we seek is always found within us. So let's stop looking for it in others.
