As we continue our discussion from my last blog, it is important to remember that many of us deeply and firmly believe what we have been taught by others. So it's not easy to let go of this information and search for solutions in our own minds.
The book, Seeds from the Ashes, challenges our minds to read ideas that make some of us feel uncomfortable. This feeling comes primarily from our being too accustomed to reading books that only confirm our own beliefs and values.
Similarly, some of us even place pre-conditions on the type of information we will expose ourselves to. In other words, we eschew ideas and points of view that we find objectionable. So we listen to viewpoints that we believe confirm our own.
Nevertheless, for us to go beyond where we are now, we must open our minds to discover the great powers we have to remain empowered, even when we listen to or read things that might cause us to examine our own beliefs and values.
The following information from the book, Seeds from the Ashes, will provide us with ideas that came from the mind of a writer who had been conditioned to think and live as a victimized person in this country. And it will illumine our minds to understand the powers of our minds, and how this power can liberate us from believing we are powerless.
"To search for a great power somewhere in the sky or from another individual is to deny that you have the power within your mind to solve your problems. The freedom to think beyond societal restrictions is not found in an abstract, unknown universe, but in your mind.
"One method to use to free your mind of restrictive thoughts is meditation, prayer, or visualization. While you are in a prayer-meditative-state of consciousness it is easy to envision yourself as a colorless, faceless, and formless being.
"When you remove the limitations of color and form from your life, you open your mind to go beyond the illusions creating all the pain and suffering in your life.
"Remember: when you pray, you are seeking a solution to your problem from a higher source, which must respond in such a way that your mind can receive and interpret the answer.
"If you write on paper the dialogue occurring in your prayers, it might assist you with understanding that everything you say and do is occurring in your mind."
The powers of mind information in Seeds from Ashes are mind stimulants to arouse the mind to become curious about life.
This stimulation assist us with committing ourselves to believing and knowing that we were created from a source of power that endowed us with everything we need to succeed in this world. And that our pain and suffering, even our failures, come from the beliefs and values we learned after we arrived in this world.
The freedom to know more is contained in our minds.
All power comes from our minds. Seeds from Ashes
