Every time we decide to blame people and circumstances for our problems, we move further from ourselves and the power we have within us. Many of us believe this inner power can do all sorts of things that we're unable to do for ourselves.
Similarly, some of us believe our inner power is our secret weapon we use to free us from difficult situations. Regardless to our various interpretations of this power, for most of us it's real.
So if it's real, what is it really.
Some of us believe inner power is simply our unconditioned consciousness. The consciousness that remains free of the illusions distorting who we are without our beliefs.
It is the state of awareness where we are colorless, faceless, and formless. And it is from this awareness, we are able to truly liberate ourselves from the toxic beliefs responsible for our suffering.
For us to move beyond the intellectual gymnastics of comparing unconditioned consciousness with innate ideas, we must first feel we are something other than what we currently believe ourselves to be.
And to a larger degree, we must know that creativity or intuitiveness provides us with the introspection to know that it's possible to go beyond the limitations of our current beliefs.
Many people believe this inner power is our Creator existing within us. It really doesn't matter what we believe about this power, what really matters is how we use it to overcome our suffering. After all, whatever it is, we believe it's somewhere within our minds.
All of our actions come from what we think, which comes from our mind. Prayer and meditation are acts occurring in our minds. In other words, we are using our minds to connect our thoughts to power source we believe can assist us with our problems or challenges in life.
Meanwhile, some of us begin to equate prayer and meditation as solutions to our problems rather than tools we use to gain the clarity and courage we need to act.
All of our power comes from our mind or the consciousness that's aware of itself as a mind. So all of our work must focus on liberating the mind of the toxic beliefs causing us to believe we are powerless or victims of life itself.
When we do the work of liberating our minds of the toxic beliefs, we provide ourselves with the freedom to use our inner power or unconditioned consciousness to create a new person. This the essence of being reborn again.
