Enlightenment Objectives

This blog is devoted to discussing ideas that might make some of us feel uncomfortable. And when we feel this way, it's a great opportunity for us to explore new ways of expressing the enlightenment within our minds.

We frequently become obsessed with the means we use to achieve enlightenment. And it's this obsession that causes us to worship people, engage in rituals, and forget that they are only the means or tools we use to accomplish our ultimate objective of enlightenment.

Nevertheless, some of us find it difficult to trust our inner-mind power. We are constantly searching for enlightenment outside of our minds. Unfortunately, this is all part of the conditioning of our minds by society, our parents, and confirmed by our life experiences.

Meanwhile, there is some valuable information in Seeds from the Ashes that opens our minds to perceive  other ways of liberating our minds of toxic beliefs and values. The following quotes from the book are shared for your illumination:

"Whatever you think about your present living conditions, one thing is absolute: You are what you think of yourself. If you don't like your present lifestyle, you have the power to create many different ones.

"Today, you are strong enough so you don't have to accept mediocrity as your goal. All that is required of you is to know you have all the power you will need to change your life whenever you choose to do so.

"To develop your mind to express great power, you must first repair the estranged relationship between your illusions-ridden mind and your freethinking mind. Anyone who has become victimized by the illusions feels powerless to think of himself or herself as being greater than the illusions.

"The illusions of lack, limitation, and struggle are very powerful when they interfere with your actions to change the way you think and live.

"The moment you conquer the illusions in your life, you immediately change the way you act. These new actions reflect a new person. This type of behavior is is similar to what some people say is being 'born again.' And in a certain sense, at least consciously, you are birthing a new person into the world.

"The new person you are creating will no longer think of himself or herself as a victim of unforeseen circumstances. Once you free your mind of the illusions, you will be able to see clearly where you are going."

We must always remain mindful that books are only tools to stimulate our minds to go deeper into our intuitive-unconditioned minds. They are, however, valuable tools to assist us with understanding different viewpoints on beliefs and values and enlightenment.
