Powers of Mind Creates a Classless Society

"I acknowledge that I have the power to change my beliefs and values."

Many of us are victimized by our status in society. We believe we belong to a certain socio-economic class or race. We further believe that we must work harder to uplift ourselves into a higher class. In most instances, this means the middle- or upper middle-class.

While we strive to uplift ourselves to a higher class in society, we must remember that class distinctions are the source of our toxicity. They enslave us to illusory machinations that keep us dependent on others to revalue our lives.

The focus or purpose for our lives is much greater than the classes we seek to claim for ourselves. Unfortunately, our purpose in life is lost in the confusion of the class we identify ourselves with or seek to achieve.

Regardless of the class, we are tricked into believing we are somehow better off than we were before reaching this new class. And usually, because of the increase in capital and material possessions, we believe we are better than those we left behind in the lower class.

Similarly, the more money we get, the more we begin to like and accept the class system. We then believe  the solutions to our problems are found in the illusions empowering us with money and material possessions.

After awhile, we feel so good about the new class that we never want to lose it and descend to a lower one. We are willing to do anything to preserve our class status. After all, we believe we are so much better off than those in the lower classes.

When we accept toxic beliefs and values that define us one way or another, we distort who we really are, and inextricably tie ourselves to psychological and spiritual powerlessness. In other words, we become victimized by our own toxic beliefs and values.

 Nevertheless, this information doesn't stop many of us from believing we become better people by working hard to achieve a higher class status.  The higher the class, the better we feel about ourselves. Conversely, the lower the class, the worse we feel about ourselves.

When we discover how to successfully use Powers of Mind to overcome our confusion about class distinctions, we will have freed our minds of a major distortion. And with Powers of Mind as our guide, we have the clarity to understand how we developed our minds to believe in class distinctions. 

Powers of Mind enlighten our minds to perceive ourselves as colorless, formless, and faceless. In other words, we are able to perceive ourselves without societal definitions. This is all the power we need to change our beliefs and values on class.

Meanwhile, many of us continue to believe we must spend our lives trying to fit into something that causes us to feel inadequate or accept mediocrity. We believe this is the way things are, and we have to accept it until we are able to uplift ourselves to a higher class.

Nevertheless, when we trust our Powers of Mind for the clarity to understand how we created our toxic beliefs and values, we are able to discover the power we need to overcome our current conditions.

"I acknowledge that I have the power to change my beliefs and values."

How to use Powers of Mind to see the Illusions Clearly

"I acknowledge that my beliefs and values created the conditions in my life."

When we tire of blaming others for the conditions in our lives, then we are ready to accept responsibility for what's happening in our lives. For many of us, it's difficult to accept that we created the current nightmares in our lives.

Even though our nightmares are nothing more than illusions, we continue to empower them to make our decisions.  And the more power we give to the illusions, the greater our suffering and the more difficult it becomes for us to see what's really happening in our lives.

Some of us believe that familiarity with information means we know how to use it. When we hear someone remind us that we have the inner-power to solve our problems, we agree with the information but are unable to use this power.

Powers of Mind is simple, basic information. There's nothing secret or complex about it. It's so simple and basic that most of us believe we are already using it.  Our toxic beliefs and values teach us to devalue basic and simple information and pursue information that's considered more valuable and acceptable by society.

We have been taught by others to believe that our Powers of Mind is hidden somewhere in a university, a religious organization, or in a prophetic holy person. We cannot bring ourselves to accept that this great power has been in our minds all the time we have been searching for it somewhere else.

Moreover, we have been taught that the search for power and information begins with the premise that we must search outside of ourselves for it. That's why most of us develop our beliefs and values from the outside to the inside.

Similarly, after we fill our minds with toxic beliefs and values, we then believe whatever others teach us about enlightenment is true and divine. We have forgotten that this information comes from the illusions.

Nevertheless, we are born into a world of human illusions. These illusions seem real because we have accepted them as so. Unfortunately, what we have been taught about enlightenment are generational distortions preventing us from perceiving ourselves and others clearly. 

Meanwhile, when we are ready to  learn how to use Powers of Mind to clear our minds of toxic beliefs and values, we then place ourselves in the position to revalue our lives with enlightenment.

"I acknowledge that my beliefs and values created the conditions in my life."

Powers of Mind Produces Miracles

"I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current conditions in my life."

We are living in a period of time where it's difficult to understand that power comes from within our minds. Some of us continue to believe that power exists outside of us.

We have forgotten that our minds are responsible for interpreting what it hears and sees. It is also responsible for judging ourselves and others according to our beliefs and values.

Whenever we use toxic beliefs and values to make judgments about right and wrong, we are unaware that our minds have been compromised, highjacked, and robbed of its power. This means we have devalued our power and confidence in Powers of Mind.

Unfortunately, this lack of self-confidence is expressed in the current conditions in our lives. This is the state of mind that seeks solutions from others on how to change how we think and live.

Our awareness or state of mind creates and makes alive things according to our beliefs and values. This awareness causes many of us to believe we are mired in a deep financial morass. We believe it's hopeless to get from under the weight of our desires expressed in our debts and increasing reliance on money for our happiness.

When we embody toxic beliefs and values and believe they represent clarity, we seek to hide from ourselves by seeking answers from within our own illusions. And in many situations, we become observers of the social, economic, and political events.

We trick ourselves into believing we are only observers, but  not a part of what's happening in the world.   And as observers, we have the responsibility to hope and pray for a miracle to end the suffering.

Similarly, some of us are trying to escape from our observations by creating a dungeon in our minds. We have fortified our minds with sturdy toxic beliefs and values to shield ourselves from what's really happening in our lives.

It's from this dark, toxic dungeon that we perceive ourselves and the world. It's from this prison of powerlessness that we are praying for miracles to change ourselves and others. This is our niche, our observation pole that we are using to liberate our minds.


Nevertheless, many of us are working on finding ways to escape from our prison. We want our freedom from the intense darkness distorting our Powers of Mind or our ability to perceive the world as it is without our judgments. 

We believe that Powers of Mind is the solution to all of our problems. This is the power that produces miracles. It makes the unknown known and nothing becomes something.

Meanwhile, at certain points in our lives we look for miracles. We want something unknown to us to produce a magical solution to our problems. In other words, we want someone to help us straighten out the mess we have created in our lives.

When we use our Powers of Mind, we understand that miracles come from our unconditioned consciousness or the I AM in all of us. This power understands how to use the universe's laws of creation.

This law works effortlessly and doesn't favor one person over another. And it is available to all those who accept their Powers of Mind as the source of enlightenment.

"I acknowledge that I have the power to change my beliefs and values."

Powers of Mind is the Source of our Rebirth

Many of us believe we can be reborn again simply by saying it. We even believe rituals are the source of our rebirth.

It's important for us to remember that regardless of our beliefs on being reborn again, we cannot be reborn without losing our attachment to our toxic beliefs and values. This is the idea for being reborn in the first place. And for most us, this requires a lot of work.

Similarly, there are those of us who are spiritually lazy and complacent. We want to change by doing very little work on our minds. We are the ones who fervently espouse rhetoric about being born again to anyone willing to listen to us.

Some of us are so caught up in the "born again" rhetoric that we are unwilling to listen to alternative explanations on this subject. We become angry at the thought of others questioning our spiritual rebirth. Even though others clearly see the dysfunctional behavior in our lifestyle.

For many of us who seek to be spiritually reborn, we are unwilling to accept that we created the toxic behavior that we are seeking to escape. So it's important for us to remind ourselves of this principle:

"I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current conditions in my life."

When we can acknowledge our responsibility for becoming addicted to alcohol, drugs, unhealthy foods, anger, jealousy, pettiness, powerlessness, and believing others have the power to rebirth our minds, we are able to seek alternative awareness for enlightenment. This acknowledgment places the responsibility for rebirth rightfully in our hands.

"I acknowledge that for me to change my beliefs and values (life), I first must be willing to enter into self-discovery."

When we are willing to search for clarity in our minds, we discover Powers of Mind. This is the power we need to be reborn of the spirit or the unconditioned consciousness.

In this consciousness, we remain free of all of our creations or problems. We have the power of being without being anything.

Powers of Mind is not dependent on another person for its existence. It is within all of our minds, which means we choose the way we think and live.

Powers of Mind is a Revolution of the Mind

Most revolutions are about the overthrow of power or governments. Some of us are in a revolution of the mind to remove our toxic beliefs and values from power.  

We begin this revolution of the mind by arming ourselves with clarity and valor to locate and remove the toxic beliefs and values from our belief system. This means that before we join the revolution of mind, we must be very clear about our commitment to Powers of Mind.  

Similarly, we must willing to overcome our denial about the causes for our powerlessness. We also must be ready to let go of our self-identity that's responsible for devaluing our worthiness to have enlightened minds.

For most of us this is our starting point. This is where we must all begin to do the work necessary for our clarity and power. In other words, this is the starting point for Powers of Mind to guide us into the enlightenment we are born with. 

The revolution of the mind begins with these three principles:

"I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current conditions in my life."

" I acknowledge that my beliefs and values created the conditions in my life."

"I acknowledge that I have the power to change my beliefs and values."

When we can acknowledge and accept that we created the way we think and live, we are then able to change how we think and live. Powers of Mind is the source of all creation in our lives.

We perceive life and ourselves according to the level of our awareness of this great power in our minds. Unfortunately, many of us are so far removed from our Powers of Mind that we are driven by the obsession to saturate our minds with toxic beliefs and values.

Today, we can empower ourselves with the courage to challenge our toxic beliefs and values. We have the opportunity to revolutionize our minds by removing all the beliefs and values distorting our power.

There are too many of us victimized by historical second-hand information. We are too willing to accept, without question, everything told to us by others.

Nevertheless, we want to fit in with others and not make waves. We are constantly fearful that people will perceive us as being different or as threats to the toxic harmony governing all of our behavior.

Well, we must be clear from the outset that Powers of Mind is not about fitting in with the illusions. It is about removing the illusions from our minds and replacing them with enlightened beliefs and values. We don't want our beliefs and values to continue suffocating us.

Meanwhile, change must come from clarity. We cannot change our lives by using toxic beliefs and values. We must gain the clarity from our Powers of Mind to change every aspect of thoughts and actions. When we do this, we are no longer powerless eunuchs waiting on others to liberate our minds.

Change Your Thoughts -- Change Your Life

"I am that person that I believe I am."

No one can change another person. We can only sit on the sidelines and observe and judge others' behavior. Some of it seems deleterious, while at other times, it seems like the person is changing his or her life.

Most of us are trying to change other people while we are tied to the same toxic beliefs and values that we observe in them, but not in ourselves. We're unaware of this behavior in our lives because we are bogged down with powerlessness on the suffering road.


There are some things we can immediately do to get off the suffering road and begin to travel on the enlightenment road. It is on the enlightenment road that we are able to travel freely without our toxic beliefs and values.

For many of us, the enlightenment road is only a myth. We cannot remember ever seeing or being on it. And to make matters worse, we have never seen anyone on this road.

Nevertheless, we have the power to take us onto the enlightenment road. This process begins when we can say with feeling and commitment: "I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current conditions in my life."

This acknowledgement is the first step to get us moving into a different state of consciousness. And in this new state of consciousness we're able to see that the suffering road is filled with layers of our powerless consciousness.

Powerlessness is the source of our suffering. It is what prevents us from believing we have the power to change our lives without relying on others to tell us how to do it.

We have the power to change our own lives.  We are not only acknowledging that we are responsible for the conditions in our lives, but we are also confirming:  "I acknowledge that my beliefs and values created the conditions in my life."

Our beliefs and values are what we use to create an identity or to become aware that "I am that person that I believe I am."

All that we know comes from these beliefs and values. They are responsible for the current conditions we are struggling to overcome.

Meanwhile, the greatest power we have to change our lives is within our minds and it's Powers of Mind. This is our intuitive-unconditioned consciousness or the I AM in us.

So we have the choice of continuing on the suffering road or to change our thoughts and begin to travel on the enlightenment road. This choice is one that will determine whether we can see and hear or continue to be  blind and deaf.

"I am that person that I believe I am."

Powers of Mind Transformation

"I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current conditions in my life."

At some point in our lives we must acknowledge that we are responsible for the way we have lived. All of our decisions from childhood to the present were made by each of us. So this makes us responsible for how we feel about ourselves now, whether we like it or not.

When we accept responsibility for our actions, we enter into a mind-awakening transformation. This is the awareness of self-enlightenment existing in our minds.

When we become aware of this great power existing in our minds, we are able to face the seemingly impossible feelings of doubt, fear, worry, struggle, and so forth causing us to depend on others for our enlightenment. In this state of consciousness, we are no longer afraid to trust ourselves.

The moment when we begin to trust our Powers of Mind or our inner-mind power is the moment we become aware of the power we have to solve all of our problems. It is also the moment when we become aware that our toxic beliefs and values are responsible for the current conditions in our lives.

Nevertheless, even with this new awareness of power, many of us are unwilling to trust our Powers of Mind (intuitive consciousness). We turn from our inner power by clinging to the toxic beliefs and values responsible for the current conditions in our lives. We do so because no one ever taught us how to challenge, doubt, and overcome our existing beliefs and values.

While we cherish the things that make us feel acceptable to others, we do so by denigrating ourselves. Our desires for acceptability cause us to live outside of our Powers of Mind.  Unfortunately, in this outside world we can only know what others have taught us.

Some of us are working on transforming our minds from depending on toxic beliefs for understanding and trusting our Powers of Mind. We are willing to let go of our dependency on toxic beliefs and values.

"I am always that person my beliefs and values say that I am."

Similarly, we become different whenever we change our beliefs and values. This change doesn't represent enlightenment. but the awareness of its existence in our minds.

We exist in the world  according to our beliefs and values.  This means we perceive ourselves and others with distortions created by our trust in them. In other words, we give greater power to things outside of us than they possess.

Meanwhile, with Powers of Mind we have the sagacity to understand that what our toxic minds define as reality are really illusions created from our minds. This awareness empowers us with the clarity to overcome the illusions.

Powers of Mind is the clarity we need to awaken our minds to perceive illusions as illusions. It confirms that reality exists only in our minds.

"I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current conditions in my life."

Powers of Mind Actualizes our Potentiality

 I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current conditions in my life.


It's mind boggling for many of us to believe that we have not yet actualized our potentiality of clarity. Unfortunately, we are still fighting with ourselves for positions of relevancy in the world.

Many of us have chosen to depend on materialism and egoism to express our potentiality. We believe that the more money we have, or the greater our status, will make us more acceptable to others as being successful. 


This mind altering illusion on success and power cause us to close our minds to other perspectives on success and power. It is from this perch of darkness that we begin to believe we are the paradigms of success and power that others should follow.

Similarly, it is from our illusions that we rationalize we must willingly accept intense pain and suffering to achieve money and power. This delusional perspective on life keeps us tied to working to please others at our own expense.

Nevertheless, when we close our minds to all other perspectives on clarity, we live in the darkness of our toxic beliefs and values. It is from within this darkness that we perceive ourselves and others according to the way others have defined them to us.

Yet it is from this darkness that we must seek and use Powers of Mind to enlighten our minds.  Powers of Mind is greater than all the illusions. It is that which has not been taught to us.

This makes Powers of Mind  greater than all the colleges and universities in the world. It is the awareness of our limitless or unconditioned consciousness to express our divine potential.

Powers of Mind is self-enlightenment or autodidact awareness. We must teach ourselves how to  free our minds of the toxic beliefs and values we have used to confuse and distort the limitless powers in our minds.


I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current conditions in my life. 

Whenever we seek clarity from our Powers of Mind, we inevitably discover responsibility and the power to create different results in our lives. This means we are forever being and becoming something according to our beliefs and values.

Meanwhile, there is a price for enlightenment; it is trust in our Powers of Mind. No person can give or teach us how to achieve enlightenment. It is something we must do for ourselves. And contrary to popular beliefs, we cannot use toxic shortcuts to achieve our goal.

So join the Powers of Mind self-enlightenment revolution by believing you're greater and more powerful than what you have been taught by others.

I am whatever I believe I am.

Powers of Mind to go Beyond the Known

I am whatever I believe I am.

We develop our minds according to the way our Guides taught us. This means we are more like our Guides than unlike them. And even if we are unaware of this immutable truth, we continue to express I am according to our toxic beliefs and values.

It's important for our mindfulness to understand that we awaken in a world of confusion and suffering. One that is always in a constant flux of searching for things to ground itself; to make its inhabitants feel like this is the only place they have ever known. And it's this feeling-at-home illusion that's responsible for the way we try to mold ourselves into acceptability.

During our lifetimes we evolve into many images of ourselves. In some of them there are beliefs and values that trick us into believing we are not dependent on others for our clarity. Yet, as we go deeper introspectively, we discover that these images are merely confirming the importance we place on our toxic beliefs and values. 

The I am in us is dormant. It is there, hidden beneath the toxic beliefs and values, awaiting our command to welcome it into our lives. This is the consciousness that knows the truth about our purpose, but it is bound by divine creation to remain dormant until it is activated by our Powers of Mind.

Meanwhile, until we do the work to reunite our consciousness as one, we will continue to feel oppressed by our toxic beliefs and values. These same toxic beliefs and values will continue tricking us into believing we are victims or powerless. 

Powers of Mind is in us to activate the limitless unconditioned consciousness within our non-toxic minds. The road is lonely. The work is arduous. The rewards are unrecognizable by our current beliefs and values.

I am whatever I believe I am.

This irrefutable truth of I am cannot be ignored.  It is present in the murderer, the thief, the preacher, the banker, the teacher and countless others who self-imposed these limitations onto themselves. While in truth, the real I am is so much greater than these limitations.

Powers of Mind is in the world to wake up our minds to discover the real I am in us. This is not something we can teach to others.

One cannot enlighten another. Each of us must make our own decisions to wake up our minds. We are responsible for using or not using the Powers of Mind in us.

Similarly, wherever we are today in our personal lives, the I am in us is also present. We are always confirming our conditions by proclaiming the illusions in our lives are real. We claim debt, sickness, pseudo-spiritual awakenings, and other illusions as our own.

Now we can wake up the mind by using our Powers of Mind. There are no reasons to identify with the illusions when we know they only exist in our toxic beliefs and values.

We were not born with toxic beliefs and values, we were taught them by others.

Powers of Mind Self-Enlightenment Revolution

We were not born with toxic beliefs and values; we were taught them by others.

Today, we have an opportunity to recreate ourselves with power. This new power is created from within our minds where it currently exists as a colorless, faceless, and formless being. It has the power to become many things, but it is always greater than the things it becomes..

Many of us are unable to discover and use this power because we're unwilling to challenge and overcome our current beliefs and values.  Even though we desire change in our lives, we don't want it to be a complete one. We believe we need to keep the beliefs and values we like and rid ourselves of the ones we don't like.

Our fears of the unknown self, the one that's free of toxic beliefs and values, are what prevent many of us from letting go completely of our self-developed egos. We find it to be frightening and wasting our time searching for an invisible power in our minds.

Most of us have already decided that our education, jobs, and religious commitments are sufficient as they currently exist. This commitment to toxic beliefs and values is so powerful that we even ignore the enlightened ones of the past. And by ignoring them, we divulge fickleness in our own toxic beliefs and values.

We cherry pick among our beliefs and values. Even though, we strongly believe that the enlightened Sages of the past had overcome their toxic beliefs and values by seeking clarity within their minds, we continue to cling to them, because of our fears of the unknown consciousness in our minds.

Similarly, it's important for us to realize that stagnant minds add to our unwillingness to express fecund minds and release the credulous attachment to what we already believe about ourselves and others. This is the process of moving from myopic ignorance to expansive self-awareness. 

Meanwhile, for us to condition our minds to move beyond its fears is an autodidact process. However, it's not autodidact with toxic beliefs and values, but from our willingness to use Powers of Mind.

We were not born with toxic beliefs and values; we were taught them by others.

Powers of Mind is the light within our minds that guide us to our intuitive-unconditioned consciousness, which is enlightenment. This power is activated whenever we decide to challenge, doubt or question what others have taught us.

With Powers of Mind we are able to discern the limitations of human creations. This means we can clearly understand that what we have been taught by others was designed to make or mold us into individuals who are dependent on what we have been taught.

Powers of Mind Knows the Truth About Why we are Here

I am whatever I believe that I am.

The truth about who we are is known only by our unconditioned awareness. This great, limitless power in our minds has the power to become many things. Yet it is always greater than its creations.

Many of us search for our essence in the visions of others. We work diligently to find ourselves in the toxic beliefs and values governing this world. And unfortunately, the more we try to find ourselves in the toxic beliefs and values of others, the more confusion and suffering we create in our lives.

We were not born with toxic beliefs and values; we were taught them by others.

Most of us find it difficult to believe we have Powers in Mind. We rationalize it away by our victimization from the toxic beliefs and values.

Similarly, we continue to believe power cannot exist in the minds of people who have been conditioned to live powerless lifestyles without realizing they are doing so. Unfortunately, this type of belief only sustains powerlessness, and the ancillary fanciful beliefs that authentic power can only be achieved in death.


Whenever we stop and challenge our beliefs and values, we are immediately faced with relinquishing our attachment to the toxic beliefs and values responsible for the way we think and live. Even though our beliefs and values are illusory, we continue to empower them with unprecedented powers.

Nevertheless, we accept our illusions, which come from our toxic beliefs and values.  as part of our powerless birthright. It is from this position of powerless that many of us search for power in things -- people, places, and systems -- that we seek to possess.

We were not born with toxic beliefs and values; we were taught them by others.

Meanwhile, many of us will benefit from our search for power in people, places, and things, because we will discover that all roads to power lead back to our minds. And that what we seek cannot be found in another person, place, or thing. It can only be found in our Powers of Mind.

The Truth About Powers of Mind

I am that person I believe I am as long as I believe I am.

I am capable of being many things, however, I can exist without being any of them.

We worry about things outside of us, because we don't understand what's happening inside of our minds. Inside of our minds is the limitless power to imagine ourselves existing without worries. This inner awareness is Powers of Mind -- our unconditioned consciousness.

The unwillingness to believe that Powers of Mind exists in our minds inextricably tie us to powerlessness. And it is from this position of ignorance, or our unawareness of the power we already possess,  that we languish in darkness and ignorance about the truth in our minds.

To enhance our awareness to overcome the darkness in our minds, we must first imagine ourselves being another person. This new person must be empowered by us with the light to see through the darkness.

Similarly, this new person has all that we can imagine him or her to possess. Any limitations are created by the limits of our imagination. So it's important to spend the time imagining ourselves existing without our current beliefs and values.

The clarity we seek is defined in the questions and answers: Who are we aware of being? Who is this person? What are our attributes?

I am that person I believe I am as long as I believe I am.

I am capable of being many things, however, I can exist without being any of them.

The path to enlightenment begins with the awareness of Powers of Mind in our minds. This great power is in the minds of the poor, sick, drug and alcohol victims, social and political illusion chasers, religious zealots, and greedy capitalists.

Nevertheless, for them to discover this power, they must be willing to be reborn again with the clarity to change the images causing them to believe their current conditions are all they are capable of becoming. 

When we discover Powers of Mind, we know that our self-created illusions are caused by our toxic beliefs and values. And the illusions can only be overcome by the clarity from our Powers of Mind.

Being reborn with power is not a ritual, affirmation, or another illusion, but the power to know that we can experience enlightenment without the aid of another persons' beliefs and values. This type of awareness is a paradigm shift in the way we pursue power.

This new awareness of something greater than who we are currently accepting ourselves as being is Powers of Mind.  Powers of Mind is always free of others' beliefs and values.

I am that person I believe I am as long as I believe I am.

I am capable of being many things, however, I can exist without being any of them.

Powers of Mind is Light

I am that person I believe I am as long as I believe I am.

I am capable of being many things, however, I can exist without being any of them.

Today, many of us are searching for answers about who we are. We want to know, metaphorically speaking, if we're an apple or orange tree. And in most instances, we desire to be whatever tree that's  popular with the masses.

When we claim an identity for ourselves, we live with it. We then connect with others who have similar identities and join them to search for the missing power in our lives. Unfortunately, by joining with others who are also searching for power outside of their minds, we create more darkness in our own lives.

Nevertheless, the darkness in our lives prevents us from discovering the true nature of our existence. Our darkness imprisons us in a psychological cesspool of toxic beliefs and values. And it is within this toxicity that we struggle for power.

Many of us have become acclimated to living in darkness. We believe it's the way we should live. After all, we were taught from childhood to emulate others, and to accept struggle as part of the natural obstacles we have to live with.  

Powers of Mind illumines us with the clarity to see that our power exists in our minds. We already have it, which means we don't have to struggle for something we already possess.

The seeds of clarity (Powers of Mind) were planted in our minds from birth. Our problems began with our ignorance of the existence of this power and how to access and use it to overcome our toxic beliefs and values..

As we develop our minds to create images of ourselves according to societal beliefs and values, we move further away from who we are.  And it's only when we begin to question or doubt our current beliefs and values that we access the light to our Powers of Mind.

It's important for us to remain mindful that everything in the world is seen from the prism of our minds. And in our minds are the beliefs and values preventing the light from our Powers of Mind from shining brightly

I am capable of being many things, however, I can exist without being any of them.

Powers of Mind is Greater than Victimization

I am powerful as long as I believe I am. 

When I stop believing I am powerful, then I become whatever I am now believing myself to be.

We do all types of work on ourselves. We try to change our lives without having clear minds. We even believe others can teach us how to achieve authentic enlightenment.

Many of us have succumbed to toxic beliefs and values causing us to believe others can actually oppress us. We must remain mindful that only we can oppress ourselves according to our beliefs and values. And, unfortunately for most of us, we have embodied beliefs and values that give powers to others.

If we spend too much time empowering our toxic beliefs and values, we will inevitably begin to feel like victims or powerless. It's a natural consequent of our thinking that causes us to abdicate our powers to others.

I am powerful as long as I believe I am. 

Similarly, it's important to remember that if our goal is to conquer this world's  illusions, we must have the Powers of Mind to liberate our minds of the beliefs and values causing the illusions. In other words, we must stop believing others have powers greater than our own.

Many of us are unwilling to let go of what others have taught us. We are proud of the toxic educations, unfulfilled jobs, circular searches for happiness, and so forth, that shape us into the victimized persons we are seeking to change.

For us to go beyond the illusions, we must be willing to let go of what we currently know about ourselves. In other words, we must lose ourselves. And by losing ourselves, we reach the point where we are unrecognizable to ourselves and others. This is when our Powers of Mind begin to reveal itself to us more clearly. 

Powers of Mind exist in all of us. It is the part of our consciousness that remains unconditioned or protected from the illusions of the world.

Nevertheless, Powers of Mind remains with us as the source of our essence, which will always protect us from those outside of our minds. Unfortunately, many of us don't know how this power actually works in our lives.

Powers of Mind gives us everything that we're aware of being. It doesn't judge or discriminate against toxic or enlightened beliefs and values. It merely express who we are conscious of being at any given moment. However, it can exist by just being, without being something.


When I stop believing I am powerful, then I become whatever I am now believing myself to be.

Powers Over our Beliefs and Values

I am in this moment a product of my beliefs and values.

I am in all future moments a product of my beliefs and values.

We try to change our beliefs and values, but frequently we're unsuccessful. This is partly due to our lack of understanding about how to unlearn what we have been taught by others.

Our main problem with understanding how to liberate our minds of toxic beliefs and values is that we're constantly searching  outside of ourselves for the solutions. Unfortunately, it's our search outside for information that maintains our dependency on others for power and solutions.

Many of us rely on things outside of us because we believe they can bring us the clarity to know why we are in the world or our purpose. We have been taught that all the great information is found in the books and teachers of those who purport to know how to achieve happiness in our lives.

It's easy for us to forget that the search for authentic power is an inner one. It begins with doubt, or the willingness on our part to doubt our existing beliefs and values.

When we gain the courage to doubt what others have taught us, we are able to see that all power exists in our Powers of Mind. This discovery is the faith we need to guide us on our inner-mind journey.


For us to doubt, or at least question what we have been taught, is only the beginning of our work. We still must be willing to challenge all of our beliefs and values. And we must continue to  maintain our strong faith in our Powers of Mind to provide us with the clarity to perceive ourselves without toxic distortions.

Nevertheless, many of us are afraid to doubt what we have been taught because we feel we're inadequate to question the great minds of our society. We have self-devalued our existence to the point where we believe power can only exist in the things --people, institutions, language, and symbols --  established before we were born.

I am in this moment a product of my beliefs and values. 

This means I am limited by my awareness of what's happening in my life. We live and act according to the way our beliefs and values dictate that we do.

Whenever we embrace our Powers of Mind, we have the imagination and power to perceive ourselves existing without our toxic beliefs and values. This new awareness frees us from the teachings that created the suffering and self-imposed images of victimization or powerlessness in our lives.

I am in this moment aware that my Powers of Mind are greater than my beliefs and values.

Creating a Powers of Mind Vision

I am whatever my beliefs and values tell me that I am.

For us to change from one awareness to another we must first create the new awareness. This is the Powers of Mind process of imagining or visualizing ourselves with qualities we currently do not possess. In other words, this is the process of being reborn while still in our existing bodies.

To go from one awareness to another requires imagination. We must condition or free our minds of the toxic beliefs responsible for the awareness we are seeking to free ourselves from.

This process of imagining or visualizing is done in four basic steps:

1.  Create a clear vision or yourself existing without the powerlessness created by the toxic beliefs and values you were taught by society, parents, and confirmed by your life experiences. This new vision is created by imagining that you are now that person who has the power to do what you cannot currently do because of the self-imposed limitations on your power.

This process of visualizing or imagining takes time. It takes solitude time. It takes a commitment from you to working each day on understanding how you acquired the beliefs and values you currently possess.

You must be willing to doubt the beliefs and values you currently possess so that you can acquire the faith to trust your Powers of Mind. In other words by doubting your current beliefs and values, you gain a deeper faith in your undiscovered inner-mind power.

I am whatever my beliefs and values tell me that I am.

2.  Embody this new vision of yourself in the present moment. You must remain with the vision until you feel comfortable with it. In other words, it becomes believable to you, and there are no doubts about you being this new person.

3.  Acceptance of Powers of Mind as the source of your new vision. This is a requirement for change. It is necessary to sustain your commitment to the vision while you go about your daily work.

There is a necessary time interval between conception and expression. And in this time interval you come face-to-face with your toxic beliefs and values in the  images of parents, spouses, friends, children, and so forth.

4. You must commit to a daily action on your vision without becoming victimized by the toxic beliefs and values prompting you to stop and return to the illusory comforts of your former self. In other words, you must do the work without constantly checking for results.

We can use the four steps for a period of time and see for ourselves if they work. There's no price for admission; only our desires to go from one awareness of ourselves powerless, by what others have taught us, or to another one where we are free of these teachings.

You can read more about the four steps in the book, Seeds from the Ashes. This book challenges the mind to doubt our existing beliefs and values, which allows us to acquire a deeper, more genuine faith in the unknown or invisible Powers of Mind within us.

I am whatever my beliefs and values tell me that I am.

The Power to Live with Enlightened Minds

When the road is rough, dusty, and full of obstacles, we can use our Powers of Mind for safe passage.

Each day gives us the power to understand why we do the things we do. This awareness is not given  to only a few individuals, it's given to anyone who seeks it.

For us to achieve power over our actions, we must focus our attention on our own behavior. In other words, we have to move metaphorically and literally beyond reality television.

This means we must refrain from becoming caught-up in what others are telling us about what's happening in the outside world. The outside world, or others' behavior, tie us to our own toxic beliefs and values, which are responsible for our judgments of others and their actions.

Similarly, whenever we view the outside world from the prism of our toxic beliefs and values, we don't feel good about the illusions we see in the world. We become fearful for our own lives. This makes us feel like we need to do something about ridding the outside world of its illusions.

The more fearful we become the angrier we feel towards others who are reflected as our enemies in the illusions. Oh, we wish others could see how their actions are causing so many people to suffer.

When we reach this point in our lives, we have the opportunity to begin our inner search for Powers of Mind. This is the point where we all must begin our Powers of Mind journey. It's our moment of clarity to see the illusions as they are without the powers we give to them.

In many instances, many of us continue to give power to the illusions and, armed with our toxic beliefs and values, we create a vision from this darkness to make the world a better place to live. We believe we can overcome the illusions existing in others without first removing them from our own minds.

When we remove the illusions from our own minds, we know there's no need to believe we can remove them from others. We clearly know they must do the work for themselves. We can only expose them to Powers of Mind, and encourage them to seek it within their own minds.


Nevertheless, the journey to enlightenment is an inner-mind one. It is one that requires no assistance from others. It cannot be found in history, psychology, religion, economics, language and so forth. It is found beyond the limitations of human creations.


When the road is rough, dusty, and full of obstacles, we can use our Powers of Mind for safe passage.

Meanwhile, the world will always have its illusions of power and suffering. We must understand how to live in this world without having been born of it. This is a secret only our Powers of Mind can reveal to us

Powers of Mind is our Birthright

We are not born to be powerless. We choose to be powerless.

It's important for us to remember that we were not divinely created to suffer in this world. We suffer because of our lack of understanding about our Powers of Mind, and how this is our clarity to enlightened minds.

Many of us get too caught-up in the machinations of trying to decide right and wrong, good and bad by using beliefs and values we received from society, our parents, and confirmed by our experiences. We can never know what's right and wrong until we know and understand the beliefs and values we are using to make our decisions.

Whenever we have faith in what others teach us about enlightenment, we most surely will embody their suffering. The path to enlightenment is paved by our Powers of Mind. It's in our minds, not somewhere else.

Powers of Mind is the light within us that never stops shining. It's shining even when we cover it tightly with our toxic beliefs and values.  

Powers of Mind is greater than religion, and it's greater than our definition of spirituality.

We are not born to be powerless. We choose to be powerless.

Today, too many of us are perpetuating toxic beliefs and values. We want these beliefs and values to give us the peace and clarity they don't have to give. This world can give us only what it has to give. We must give ourselves the power that the world cannot give us.

Some of us understand the origins of our beliefs. We understand, at least intellectually, that they come from society, parents, and experience. However, it's difficult for us to accept the existence of something -- Powers of Mind -- that's greater than what we already believe about ourselves.,

We are not born to be powerless. We choose to be powerless.

Those who are willing to accept the origins of our beliefs, must also be willing to lose them and redefine ourselves with our Powers of Mind.

Powers of Mind is our birthright. It is the light we need to guide us to enlightenment.

Our Powers of Mind Can Overcome Tragedy

We are always greater than what our beliefs and values tell us.

Powers of Mind cannot be stopped by outside events. The power to overcome tragedy, anger, and powerlessness is always available to us, whether we recognize it or not.

The events that we label tragedies are reflections of our beliefs and values. And when we rely on these toxic beliefs and values, we inevitably become powerless.

Similarly, when we think of ourselves as powerless, we conversely think of others as powerful. In other words, we devalue our own power by giving it to others. This causes us to feel anger toward others, because we have played a mind-game of devaluing ourselves.

We are always greater than what our beliefs and values tell us.

 Nevertheless, when we recognize that  Powers of Mind is the only power to enlighten our minds, then we are able to free ourselves from the powerlessness created by the vicissitudes of societal emphasis on events and people. 

For many of us, suffering from the victimization of toxic beliefs and values, the greater the event, the greater our powerlessness. However, if we rely on our Powers of Mind, we can change this to: The greater the event, the greater our commitment to Powers of Mind.

Powers of Mind is our ability to perceive ourselves and others without our toxic beliefs and values, which are nothing more than illusions. We are created to live successful in this world, because we have within us Powers of Mind.

Whenever we feel powerless, we also feel anger, hopelessness, and inadequate to handle the problem created by our beliefs and values.This causes us to express great anger whenever we feel outside sources have violated them. Unfortunately, we have forgotten that our beliefs and values came from outside sources -- parents, society, and experience.

The path to enlightenment begins with Powers of Mind. With Powers of Mind we are free from the toxic beliefs and values causing us to perceive ourselves as powerlesss.

We are always greater than what our beliefs and values tell us.

Meanwhile, we must remain mindful of our Powers of Mind. This means we must perceive and express this power regardless of what our senses (beliefs and values) tell us about tragedies and events..

Enlightening our Minds to see the Unknown

I am always that person I confirm myself to be.

The known and unknown are states of awareness. It is our awareness, without distortions, that allow us to remove the barriers limiting our Powers of Mind. It is also our awareness causing us to limit our worthiness to use our Powers of Mind.


Our awareness or consciousness is always guiding our actions. This limitless power gives us everything we are aware of being. It makes no excuses for our self-limitations, nor for our unwillingness to seek Powers of Mind.  

We have the power to live as prisoners of our illusions. This choice is available to all of us. It is not a good or bad choice, but a just one. In other words, it is just because we are responsible for limiting our own Powers of Mind. 

Many of us are unwilling to explore new beliefs and values, because we're content with our current ones. Even though we spend much of our lives complaining about our suffering from them, we, nevertheless, believe they represent all that we can ever know.

Powers of Mind represent that which we are not currently aware of its existence. The laws we have established for ourselves in this world are responsible for our limitations. They represent the generational toxicity of limited awareness.

It's important to remember that when we cling to our beliefs and values, we limit our intuitive powers or unconditioned consciousness. This limits our Powers of Mind. And without the use of Powers of Mind we cannot free ourselves from the suffering and confusion in our lives. 

We are always greater than what has been created in this world. And when we empower ourselves to seek the unknown or the undiscovered, we become aware of our Powers of Mind.


I am aware of being that I am aware of being. 

The key to understand this statement is to know what we are aware of being. Who do we believe we are now?

Meanwhile, when we decide to use our Powers of Mind to unlock the enlightenment existing in us, we will know that the known and unknown are one, but we are greater than both of them.

Powers of Mind Liberation

I am free, because I conceive myself as free.

The freedom we seek in people, places, and things only add to the toxicity already existing in our minds. We must always be mindful that our powers are  greater than our self-created illusions.

Many of us continue to struggle everyday with doubts about who we are, and what are our purposes? These are questions for individuals who find themselves lost in the illusions. When we dwell in the powers of the illusions, we cannot envision the powers we have to live freely with clarity and purpose.

The search for enlightenment begins with our desires to free our minds of the illusions preventing us from seeing ourselves and others clearly. When we open our minds to receive clarity, we no longer have questions about who we are and our purposes. We have answers.

The truth about the illusions controlling our lives is one known by only those who have done the work to free their minds of them.  The world and all that is in it is governed by its own creations. 

In other words we are born into an already created world ruled by its illusions of power. And it is this world of illusions that we begin to live and question our identity or power.

Powers of Mind is not a slogan, but a way of life. It is the inherent power of being. We can exist without being something. Unfortunately, when we imagine ourselves being something, in this case humans, we forget that we created our own awareness.

For us to escape or liberate our minds from the illusions, we must be willing to imagine ourselves with the powers to do so. We cannot have any doubts about this power. We must have a strong, unwavering conviction to our Powers of Mind.

I am free, because I conceive myself as free.

My Powers of Mind is not bound by its creations or limited by its imagination. So today, I claim my liberation from my illusions.

Embracing our Moments of Clarity

 Some of us want to change, but we don't trust our own Powers of Mind.

The more we deny our Powers of Mind, the more we struggle with our authenticity. And when we deny who we are, we confirm our unwillingness to accept ourselves in the present moment.

In other words, we know that we can never exist without confirming our own existence. This means the self-images we have created of ourselves confirm what we think about ourselves and others. This is happening now, not in the past or future times.

Similarly, the enlightenment we believe that only exists in the future is waiting on our clarity to reveal itself to us. Unfortunately, we're currently unable to believe this power already exists in our minds. So we continue to search for its existence within the illusions causing us to doubt our true Powers of Mind.

For us to discover enlightenment, we must free ourselves of the toxic beliefs and values causing us to search outside of our minds for power. The search for power is found within our Powers of Mind. It cannot be found in another person or thing.

Nevertheless, even with our toxic beliefs and values, we are able to experience moments of clarity. Even though these moments are infrequent and of short duration, we do know that they exist in our minds. This is our confirmation that regardless of the circumstances in our lives, we have within us the Powers of Mind to overcome all problems.

During our moments of clarity we briefly forget that we are overwhelmed by problems. We feel there's a way out from our problems. And this way is provided by our own Powers of Mind.

Meanwhile, many of us ignore our moments of clarity because we eschew the consequences of being perceived different by others. We have become too accustomed to living in the darkness of our illusions to trust our Powers of Mind

Similarly, it's difficult for most of us to even admit we are living in darkness. We believe we can achieve enlightenment by relying on our toxic beliefs and values. After all, we believe all that we can ever know must come from others.

When we learn to trust our Powers of Mind, we will know that our toxic beliefs and values are responsible for the illusions currently expressing themselves as enlightenment. We will also realize that we have not been taught to trust ourselves independently of the beliefs and values used by others to govern our lives.

Powers of Mind exists in all of us. It is found in the clarity that empowers  us to know  toxic beliefs and values cannot produce enlightenment.

Creating Images of Enlightenment

What would we do if we could give ourselves a complete make-over?

Many of us have created images of ourselves that devalue our worthiness to express great power. And in this devalued state of mind, we constantly seek powers outside of our minds to change ourselves. In other words, we seek power in things we believe will transform us into the people we daydream of becoming.

The problem with seeking power from other people is that we are perceiving ourselves and others from a self-created victimized and toxic mind. It is from this toxic perspective, filled with limitless distortions,  that we make judgments about who we are, and how we compare to others.

It's important for us to know that when we seek to change ourselves by relying on toxic beliefs and values, our changes remain reflections of our distortions.  In other words, we are not really changing ourselves, but creating more layers of illusions separating us from our Powers of Mind.

Similarly, the changes we seek require us to work on our minds. This work requires our willingness to let go of the toxic beliefs and values responsible for the  distortions causing us to devalue ourselves. It's important for us to remember that this letting go process means letting go of everything.

When we become committed enough to our Powers of Mind, we're able to clearly understand how the letting-go process works. It doesn't mean letting go of people and things, but letting go of the beliefs and values we are using to define our relationships with them.

Nevertheless, when we discover the existence of Powers of Mind, we are already well into self-discovery. So many of the things preventing us from perceiving ourselves with esteem and power are revealed to us in their true reality. This awareness mitigates the power we give to others and things.

Powers of Mind is the gateway to enlightenment. It's the key that unlocks the door to our unconditioned consciousness. This is the power we use to remove the toxic beliefs and values and replace them with enlightened ones. And in doing so, we are actually creating a new person.


The process for creation is a simple one that begins and ends in our minds. We first imagine the unimaginable, and then we embody it by making it a part of our new beliefs and values. We then give form to the unimaginable and express it as our new image.

Now we must maintain our conviction in a form that only we can see.  We need this unshakable conviction to assist us with the work necessary for this image to make it through the time interval that's ruled by our lingering toxic beliefs and values.

 Our convictions to our images or creations are the source of all creation. Creation is the invisible expressing itself as the visible. The known of Powers of Mind becoming to the unknown, the known.

Meanwhile,  it's important for us to constantly remind ourselves that Powers of Mind exist in all of us. And with this power, we can create images of ourselves with power.

Going Beyond Self-imposed Limitations


It's difficult to believe we are greater than what we are now perceiving ourselves to be.  Many of our childhood dreams have vanished and become lost in the vivid childhood memories of oppression and abuse. And now, in our current state of awareness, it seems impossible to believe that we ever had dreams of greatness.


Many of us believe our current conditions are caused by unknown sources in the outside world. This makes it easier for us to blame others for our toxic beliefs and values. Unfortunately, this blame-game keeps us searching outside of ourselves for answers to the nightmarish conditions we have created in our lives.

Whenever we face the nightmarish conditions in our lives, we are then compelled to do something about them. This begins when we acknowledge that we are responsible for creating all of the conditions in our lives.

We create problems by our thoughts and actions, which are exact expressions of our beliefs and values. In other words, we think and act according to the beliefs and values we are using to think and act.

We have the powers to conjure up all sorts of images of ourselves and others. We can imagine and confirm that we are poor simply by embodying beliefs of poverty. Conversely, we can imagine and confirm that we are wealthy by embodying beliefs of wealth.

This state of imagining and expressing is how we create all the conditions in our lives and the power we give to them. Many of us don't possess what we want or deserve because we don't understand the beliefs and values we use to create things.

It is our lack of understanding of Powers of Mind that causes us to accept less, rather than using our minds to create abundance. This limited thinking inextricably ties us to unpleasant or undesirable conditions that cause us to give power to our beliefs and values.

Similarly, the confusion we have about our Powers of Mind keeps us locked into toxic beliefs and values distorting our true powers. And from this confusion, we create judgments about things -- money, religion, employment, food, alcohol, and drugs -- that we believe exist outside of our beliefs and values.

Meanwhile, what we think are problems are nothing more than reflections of our beliefs and values. When we limit our power or when we doubt the existence of Powers of Mind, we place more limitations on our abilities to overcome our problems.

Powers of Mind is the portal to our enlightenment. It exists in all of us. It is the awareness to know that there are no limits on our powers, except those we place on ourselves.

Nevertheless, before we can access our Powers of Mind, we must first understand the power we give to our beliefs and values. When we do this, we free our minds of self-imposed limitations.

Playing with our Desires

We seem to always desire something that we don't need.

The more things -- money, status, houses, jewelry and so on -- we see other people with, the more we want what they possess. So we are constantly imagining ourselves having all sorts of things. And frequently we set out to get them for ourselves.

Some of the things we desire are harmful to our minds. Unfortunately, if we have too much toxic junk (beliefs and values) in our minds, we're unable to differentiate between toxic and enlightenment. This causes us to believe our toxic desires are actually enlightened ones.

Nevertheless, we are ruled by our desires. They dictate what we feel and think about ourselves. And, in most instances, they seem to exist independently of us.

Whenever we recognize that our desires come from our beliefs and values, whether we're aware of this or not, we are in the position to empower our minds to not act on all of our desires. We can choose not to chase after our desires.

Similarly, we have the power of illumination in our Powers of Mind to know that we are the creators of our desires. They exist only in our minds. And if our minds are filled with toxic beliefs and values, then most of our desires come from this foundation.

Meanwhile, when we rely on our Powers of Mind, we begin to experience non-toxic beliefs and values. And as we grow in confidence with our Powers of Mind, we create desires with the clarity of enlightenment.

It's important for us to remember that Powers of Mind is our unconditioned consciousness or intuitive awareness. It's the awareness of something other than what we have limited ourselves to believe.

Images of Power and Clarity

I am, who I accept myself to be.

During our lifetimes, we create all sorts of images of ourselves. Among them are ones where we have very little power over our lives.

Whenever we embody our minds with images of powerlessness, it's difficult to pivot to images of ourselves with great power. And from a practical perspective, most of us will remain trapped in the miasma of self-deflated images of powerless until we recognize there are other ways to think about ourselves.

It seems the more we live with our self-created images, the more we become enamored with beliefs and values that portray us as powerless. And in most situations, we are not fully cognizant of our roles in creating the images we have about ourselves.

Most of us believe someone other than ourselves is responsible for the images we have of ourselves. This illusory interpretation of our inner-power makes it difficult for us to believe we are victims of our thoughts, beliefs and values.

Although most of us are victims of our beliefs and values, we struggle with accepting that we created our own victimization. In many instances, we blame society or others for our powerlessness. Unfortunately, we forget that we have the power to overcome what we have been taught by others.

Nevertheless, regardless of our current status in life, we have many opportunities to use our Powers of Mind  to change the way we think and live. Yet we continue to disown our  Powers of Mind and embrace societal definitions of our power. This makes us victims of others' beliefs and values.

Similarly, the power of clarity to recognize that we were born with Powers of Mind is the origin of change.  This awareness of power enlightens our minds to go beyond images of victim or powerless. It's the moment we know that we are greater than what we currently know about ourselves.

Meanwhile, the world changes when we change the perceptions of our own images of power. In other words, we need to spend our time working on changing ourselves before we try to change the world.

When we become clear about who we are, and our Powers of Mind, we remove the illusions creating images of ourselves as victims or powerless. At the deeper level of understanding, what we think about ourselves and others are nothing but expressions of our current beliefs and values. 

Now is the time to WAKE UP our minds and accept that we have the  Powers of Mind to create images of ourselves with great power.

The Consciousness of Enlightenment

We are the same as our awareness of being.

For many of us it's difficult to accept responsibility for our current conditions. We cannot seem to find the power to move beyond the unemployment, home foreclosures, out-of-control debts, unhappy relationships, psychological and emotional abuses, fears and doubts about who we are, and a lack of vision to overcome the thoughts and actions responsible for these problems.

Well, it's time for us to realize that we are the beginning and ending of everything in our lives. And without our minds there is no beginning or ending.

So our awareness of being something (black, white, oppressor, victim, poor, rich, obese, attractive, unattractive, an addict, abusive, violent, and so forth) is exactly the way we act all the time. Whatever we are conscious of being is exactly the way we act.

Some of us do a lot of play-acting. We create roles and images within our consciousness to conform to the illusions we are relying on to interpret our worthiness or unworthiness to have power over our lives.

After we spend most of our time relying on illusory interpretations of what is real or unreal, we become comfortable with accepting ourselves as victims of unforeseen circumstances. This causes us to rationalize our suffering as just being a part of living. In other words, we are powerless by happenstance.

It's important for us to remember that we are powerless because we choose to be. We make the choice to ignore our Powers of Mind and continue to rely on the beliefs and values from our parents, society, and experience. Unfortunately, this reliance on others is what distorts what we think about ourselves and others.

Similarly, many of us are always perceiving ourselves with different images. On some days, we are powerful, happy, and feeling untouchable by outside forces. While on other days, we cannot seem to overcome the simple things causing us to feel unhappy or dissatisfied with ourselves.

The vicissitudes of our interpretation about who we are come from our beliefs and values. And within every interpretation is the opportunity for us to use our Powers of Mind to express something new.

Removing our Illusions

Today, yesterday, and tomorrow are determined by what we think of ourselves and others. Time exists only in our beliefs and values. It's reality is confirmed by our minds.

The only existence we have comes from our minds. The past, present, and future time continuum was created by our minds to measure our existence. And it's this time continuum that's responsible for our regrets, happiness, and optimism.

While our minds travel in time all the time, we never go anywhere without our minds interpreting what we see and experience. And unfortunately our minds can only interpret things based on our beliefs and values. In other words, we see and experience the world based on what we have been taught by others.


Since many of us believe most, if not all,  of the information we have been taught by others, we remain in the darkness of their teachings. And this causes us to believe what we see and experience is actually reality. So it follows that enlightenment is an illusion.
 
Many illusions-advocates believe that everything outside of the illusions is make-believe. And since we have not used enlightenment to navigate the world, it is something magical, surreal or can never be achieved.


Fortunately, we can change what we have been taught by others. We have within us our Powers of Mind. This is the power to create things -- beliefs and values -- not yet seen by the world.

Similarly, our Powers of Mind empowers us to be reborn with enlightened beliefs and values. This rebirth process enlightens our minds to live in this world but not be born of its beliefs and values.In other words, we live in this world, but our minds are not created by it.

Some of us believe remaking ourselves is make-belief; something designed for only philosophical discourse. It's too complicated for us to truly understand, much less accomplish this seemingly impossible goal.

The work of changing our minds, by unlearning what others have taught us, is daunting and wrought with fears. Many of us desire to know more about existence, but we're afraid to challenge our beliefs and values.

Moreover, our fears of the unknown lead us to people who teach us shortcuts for discovering the enlightenment already in our minds. Many of us become committed to the shortcuts and forget that the shortcuts come from the illusions we are working to free ourselves.

Similarly, when we desire to extricate ourselves from the shortcuts, we seek approval from others before taking action. We want to know if it's okay to unlearn what we have been taught by others. In other words, we want the illusory supported institutions to approve our Powers of Mind.

Nevertheless, we must overcome our fears and accept our Powers of Mind as our guide to the enlightenment already existing in our minds. And this means we must stop believing the world can give us enlightenment.

Meanwhile, with our Powers of Mind we can envision or imagine ourselves as formless, faceless, and colorless. We are then able to accept this awareness as our true existence.

This who we are without the illusions or distortions we are using to define ourselves as powerless.  In other words, this is who we are in our enlightened state of consciousness.

Powers of Mind is enlightenment without illusions. This limitless power exists in all of our minds. And it's uncluttered form, it perceives life from a formless, faceless, and colorless perspective.

So let's commit ourselves to removing the illusions causing us to worship our form, face, and color. This commitment begins with self-awareness of the existence of Powers of Mind.

Remember:  We are greater than the illusions we are using to define ourselves.

Accepting Powers of Mind as our Guide

Regardless of how we feel today depends on our commitment to our beliefs and values. It's our beliefs and values that are responsible for how we feel about ourselves and  others. In other words, we feel a certain way based on the illusions in our minds.

Whenever we limit ourselves to believe that our illusions are real, we limit our power to perceive the world from the prism of clarity.  Unfortunately, most of us see the world from the prism of distortions. This is the prism responsible for the distrust we have of our own minds. 

During our search for enlightenment, many of us seek guidance in the words and deeds of others. The more we rely on others to guide us to the enlightenment in our minds, the less we trust our own  Powers of Mind. And by distrusting our Powers of Mind, we are constantly searching in darkness for the lost kingdom of enlightenment in our minds.

Most of us were taught to search for this great Powers of Mind in others. And after we embodied these beliefs and values, it followed that we would elevate others and devalue ourselves.

This reliance on others to define enlightenment and lead us to it is responsible for our toxic beliefs and values. Moreover, our commitment to this process of self-discovery moves us further from the enlightenment in our minds, and closer to the toxic beliefs and values we are trying to overcome.

The closer our relationship with our toxic beliefs and values, the greater our dependency on others. Unfortunately, this symbiotic relationship prevents us from thinking of life outside of the illusions.

Meanwhile, many of us believe we cannot discover enlightenment without Guides from our illusions. In other words, we believe someone has to lead us to the enlightenment that already exists in our minds.

Whenever we rely on others to lead us to enlightenment, we must believe they have already discovered it in their own minds. This would mean to many of us that they had cleared their minds of toxic beliefs and values, and were no longer plagued by questions and doubts about enlightenment.

Nevertheless, most of us have never met anyone with an enlightened mind. This means someone with a totally fulfilled, problem-free mind that's perceiving the world without distortions created from illusions. In other words, a person who has overcome the beliefs and values taught him or her by others.

Similarly, if we accept that we have never met someone with an enlightened mind, then it follows that there's no one able to guide us to the enlightenment in our own minds. So we have to do the work to become that enlightened mind.

We begin our work by trusting our Powers of Mind. By trusting Powers of Mind we're able to understand how we are who we are now. This frees us from the illusions, and allows us to perceive ourselves with power. This small amount of clarity is sufficient enough to guide us deeper into our minds, beyond our existing toxic beliefs and values.

Some of us have resigned ourselves to never acquiring our freedom from our illusions. We have tricked our minds to believe clarity exists outside of our minds. And it's this trickery that causes us to search outside of ourselves for Guides to lead us to the enlightenment in our own minds.

Powers of Mind exist only in our individual minds. We discover it by going beyond our existing beliefs and values. And the deeper we go, the greater our clarity to perceive ourselves with limitless power.

Playing Mind Games With Ourselves

 Today, it's difficult for many of us to separate reality from illusion. We have conditioned our minds to believe that our illusions are real, and we must accept this reality as our truth.

We spend most of our time trying to make sense of the changing illusions deceiving us about the power we have in our minds. This inner-mind struggle causes us to constantly seek ways to overcome the illusions expressing themselves as realities.

The fight for control of our minds begins with accepting responsibility for what's in our minds. This means having the awareness to understand that we cannot continue to blame outside forces -- people, places, and things -- for our problems.

Furthermore, when we stop blaming outside forces for our problems, we have the clarity to understand that we are responsible for our own beliefs and values. This awareness provides us with the power to differentiate between our illusions and what's actually happening in our lives.

Similarly, when our minds are overcome with toxic beliefs and values, we're unable to accept responsibility for our unemployment, home foreclosures, debts, and emotional and psychological frailties. At this point, our clarity is clouded by the powers of our illusions. So it's easy for us to believe that what's happening in our lives is caused by something or someone other than ourselves.


The truth about who we are is found in our Powers of Mind, not in our toxic beliefs and values. Unfortunately, our beliefs and values are responsible for our unwillingness to use our Powers of Mind. In other words, we are more comfortable struggling with our illusions than with liberating them from our minds.


Nevertheless, when we tire of being powerless and obtain the courage to face our illusions, we will discover their true creator. This epiphany will enlighten our minds to understand the responsibility we must bear for creating unemployment, home foreclosure and debt in our lives. 

Meanwhile, when we use our Powers of Mind to go deeper into our illusions, we achieve the clarity to understand that we are the creators of our own illusions.. And as their creator, we are responsible not only for their actions, but for removing them from our minds.

When we decide to stop playing the blame-game with our minds and use our Powers of Mind, we begin to place ourselves in situations that don't create suffering in our lives. We become mindful of the types of employment we seek, the relationships we develop, and the consequences of buying things we might not be able to pay for at some point in our lives.

Mindfulness is an essential part of Powers of Mind.  It illumines our minds to assist us with understanding our insatiable desires for things to make us happy.

Powers of Mind enlighten us to perceive ourselves with power rather than accepting ourselves as powerless.

Going Beyond the Darkest Hour

After many setbacks in our lives, we inevitably reach the point of our darkest hour. This is the moment that we feel powerless to move forward in our lives. In other words, in the book, Let There Be Life, it's

         "Because it'll mean that the pain has become so unbearable that I can't take any more. It's the darkest hour just before I see the dawn of light."

Many of  us believe  in this darkest hour folklore, because of our illusions. We associate darkness and light with suffering and enlightenment.

This association makes it easy for us to believe that whatever happens after we reach our darkest hour is the light or enlightenment. Unfortunately, both the darkest hour and the light are illusions created from our beliefs and values.

Our illusions exist to give us hope that something magical can happen to eradicate our pain.  Similarly, hope is responsible for our powerlessness. It confirms the existence of the darkest hour.

For many of us, when we feel defeated or powerless, we believe we need hope. So it's not uncommon for us to seek solace in hope or to daydream about a better situation. Unfortunately, our hopes are limited by the beliefs and values we have about ourselves and the outside world.

Meanwhile, some of us perceive the darkest hour from another perspective. In this perspective, the darkest hour represents the opportunity for us to begin our inner-mind work.

In other words, it's the point where we all must come voluntarily if we desire to overcome the illusions in our lives. This means that whatever decisions we make during this time, we must make them with enlightenment on our minds.

Too many of us turn to outside sources to help us with our darkest hour beliefs. This is precipitated by our conclusions that we must curse our own minds for having put us in this position in the first place. These illusory conclusions are responsible for our distrust in our minds. So we seek solutions from others.

Our illusions, the beliefs and values we have embodied, are responsible for the decisions we made to create the darkest hour. They also hold the key to our freedom from the pain of the darkest hour.

While this seems like a paradox, it is not. When we understand that we are the  creator of our illusions, we are able to go beyond our creations and enter into the enlightenment part of our minds.

The key to enlightenment is first discovered in our beliefs and values. This is the starting point for all humans who have achieved enlightened minds.

There are no shortcuts or magical formulas for understanding how we create pain in our lives. There's only awareness, responsibility, and the willingness to go beyond what we have been taught by others.

For us to go beyond what we have been taught by others require our awareness of the existence of something (enlightenment) in our minds that's greater than the illusions we have created in our lives. This awareness confirms that enlightenment is in our individual minds and not in the minds of others.

So we must awaken our minds to become aware of self-enlightenment. This awakening begins with our Powers of Mind.

Powers of Mind produces both clarity and confusion. So we must work to understand how to use our minds to create clarity rather than confusion.

Powers of Mind is a gift of enlightenment wrapped in our beliefs and values. To see our gift, we must remove the wrappings.

Releasing our Powers of Mind

Wherever we are today, it's all right for us to be here. We must continue to believe that the judgments we have about ourselves are just illusions from our beliefs and values.

On this journey, many of us have been handicapped by our beliefs and values. We were born into situations that taught us how to become like everyone else. In other words, we were taught to believe that being like others were our goals.

Regardless of  how much we denigrate ourselves by embodying toxic beliefs and values, we are still able to do something, right now, to enlighten our minds. This something -- the willingness to work on our minds -- is to understand that we have the Powers of Mind to clean our minds.

Powers of Mind is not magical. It requires us to work intensely on our minds. It requires us to trust ourselves. And if we desire to know who we really are, we must take the time to understand our beliefs and values.

There are some things that are debatable, but the development of our minds is not one of them.  And whether we accept it or not, we received our beliefs and values from three primary sources -- parents, society, and life experiences.

These three sources are responsible for everything we know about ourselves and the outside world. This includes both the spiritual and material worlds. And it's from this foundation that we conditioned our minds with our current beliefs and values.

Many of us would rather fight with our illusions  than do the work to understand how we created them in our lives. We believe our beliefs and values are too daunting to mess with. And in most cases, it's our unwillingness to unravel our lives and become different from others that stop us from working on our minds.

Whenever we become aware of our suffering, we immediately seek answers. Unfortunately, all the answers lead us back to our minds, which are responsible for how we feel. Yet if we desire to know more about ourselves, we must relinquish our fears preventing us from disentangling our minds from our toxic beliefs and values.

Similarly, it's the fear of disentangling our minds from our beliefs and values that causes us to believe we are nothing without them. It's our fear of nothingness, the unknown, and being alone that prevents us from traveling deeper into our minds. 

Nevertheless, we're never in the unknown with Powers of MindPowers of Mind is the enlightenment we have always known, but forgotten after we embodied others' beliefs and values.

When we clear our minds, we know that Powers of Mind  is not a myth, nor is part of the illusions we are currently fighting in our lives. This is the power of clarity to see ourselves and others without our current beliefs and values.

Powers of Mind provide us with the clarity to distinguish between inspiration and solution. In other words, we have sufficient clarity to know that books are inspirational, not substitutes for our not doing the requisite work to overcome our toxic beliefs and values.

Meanwhile, we must remain mindful that all paths or roads lead back to our minds. We are responsible for all of our decisions and the beliefs and values responsible for them.

So, let's release our dependency on others for our enlightenment, and use our Powers of Mind or intuitive-unconditioned consciousness to express our enlightenment.

Choosing How We Live

We are where we are in life because of our choices. Fortunately, each day brings us opportunities to make new choices about how we want to live. And without fail, each day we make these new choices.

Since most of us are not mindful of making our choices, we frequently believe we are not actually making them. So it's not a stretch in awareness for us to try and blame others for our choices.

Our minds are constantly acting as cesspools of suffering. This is the toxicity causing us to search outside of our minds for the reasons for our choices. And it is this outside-of-mind search that is preventing us from accepting personal responsibility for our choices.

Conversely, our outside-of-mind beliefs cause us to seek solutions from others to tell us what to do.We want others to explain to us why we are unemployed, in foreclosure, angry, in prison, or overweight, addicted to drugs and alcohol, and barely able to support ourselves.

Moreover, the more we seek answers to what's happening in our minds, the more we rely on the teachings of others. And it is this dependency that causes our minds to plunge deeper into the abyss of powerlessness.

Powerlessness is self-degradation. It is responsible for our psychological battles with others to achieve what we already have within our own minds. It is also responsible for our distortions about ourselves and others.

Similarly, we must remain mindful of our  choices placing us in woefully inadequate positions and situations. When we do, we realize our choices reflect, in every detail, our beliefs and values. They accurately express what we believe is the truth about us.

Regardless of how much energy we spend on chasing after others for our power, we inevitably realize that all roads or choices lead back to us. And without a doubt, the search for enlightenment is an inward one. It is one that requires the use of our Powers of Mind. 

It is only when we decide to look into our minds that we discover our minds were developed by our parents, society, and our experiences. And with this new awareness, we must choose whether to remain dependent on these beliefs and values or seek to remove them from our consciousness.

The freedom we seek is found only in our Powers of Mind. This means we must lose or relinquish our attachments to what others have taught us about this power. Unfortunately, this choice is one that most of us are unwilling to make.

Meanwhile, for us to effectively use our Powers of Mind, we must stop depending on others to guide us into our intuitive-unconditioned consciousness. This does not mean, we must stop listening to others. It means we must stop believing they can give us the enlightenment we seek.
 
Powers of Mind is personal. It exists in individuals as a power that remains eternally free of others' beliefs and values. This is the power given to us by our Creator. 


It's important to remember that if we believe we are less than others, then we are. And for us to change this perception of ourselves, we must make the choice to use our Powers of Mind.

Creating a New Person

Yes, it's true that we have the power to extricate ourselves from our beliefs and values. This great power is in our minds, not in the minds others. We call this power: Powers of Mind.

Many of us go from one thing to the next in search of something to make us feel complete. And with this heuristic philosophy, we continue searching outside of our minds for the answers.

It is only when we accept Powers of Mind that we become aware of our own limitless powers. This awareness is the clarity we need to know that all the great minds in the colleges and universities of world are powerless to provide us with answers about who we are without our beliefs and values.

Moreover, we know this because all of us are born into an already existing world of beliefs and values. And these are the beliefs and values we use to teach others about who they are and their relationships with others.

These are the beliefs and values responsible for the confusion in our minds about power. They distort our clarity and cause us to forget we are the power we seek it others.

This power remains free of the world's attempts to condition it into the world's own liking. And regardless of how many times we deny our power, it continues to exist in our minds.

Most of us have been taught to have faith in an invisible power existing outside of our minds. When we are taught that this power exists in our minds, we're unwilling to believe we are worthy of this type of power. However, if we desire to discover the Powers of Mind in us, we must overcome what we have been taught.

Here's an excerpt from the Powers of Mind enlightenment book, Seeds from the Ashes, to illumine our minds on this power:

     "The process to unleash this great power is one that requires you to look inward and discover the source for solving all your problems. For you to become a part of this empowerment (enlightenment) process, you must first learn to be comfortable with yourself and to overcome the belief that authentic power exists outside of your mind. You must condition your mind to know that all power comes from your mind."

Similarly, the invisible power that we believe exits outside of us came from this world, not from the invisible power. In other words, we learned from our Guides everything we know so far about our power and its source.

Nevertheless, we do not have to limit ourselves to the teachings of our Guides. We have the power to create a new person or as some say, "to be born again."

When we enlighten our minds, we do so by detaching ourselves from our existing beliefs and values. Now  we are able to perceive ourselves without the world's distortions.

This clarity or clean mind expresses itself in our lives to overcome our dependency on others for our enlightenment. This is not a ritualistic process, nor is it one created from our existing beliefs and values.

Our clean minds are the result of our willingness to lose ourselves (toxic beliefs and values) in order to find ourselves (enlightenment beliefs and values).

Meanwhile, look no further than our own minds. For it is in our minds that we discover the invisible power we have been taught to believe exists outside of us.

POWERS OF MIND WAKE-UP ALERT

WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!

It is important for us to wake up our minds and begin using our Powers of Mind. This work begins first with understanding and then follows with change.

With understanding comes the wisdom to understand we are always one with our beliefs and values. This means we are responsible for all our actions.

In many instances we are not even aware that we are actively participating in our decisions. Some illustrations are when we decide to marry or live with someone.

Some further examples are when we decide to accept a job, because we need some money. We seldom pay attention to the seriousness of our decisions to use drugs and alcohol.

Nor do we give much thought when we overindulge in food and become overweight. Our mindfulness is also lacking in our decisions to accept abusive behavior from others, regardless of the rationale we use.

Similarly, we don't give much thought to accepting our Guides' labels defining us according to race, skin color, class, and nation. We believe these labels are real and that we must accept them.

So without any fanfare, we embody them as our own. Now we must accept full responsibility for them, and not blame others.

When we're able to accept responsibility for our beliefs and values, then we're willing to begin our search for the Powers of Mind to express enlightenment. This is our moment of clarity. The moment we change the focus of our search for enlightenment. 

During our search for enlightenment, we must remain mindful that enlightenment is something that already exists in our minds, but that's not yet discovered. Our mindfulness requires us to enter into our search without attachment to our existing beliefs and values.

Some of the attachments we must leave behind are education, avarice,  poverty, victimization, and so forth. These are some of things that cloud our visions and prevent us from discovering the enlightenment in our unconditioned consciousness.

It's important to remember that this inner-mind journey is one that all must travel who searches for the enlightenment within their minds. It's also important for us to remember that we were born into a world filled with existing beliefs and values. And it's from these beliefs that we have created our minds.

On the enlightenment path, we encounter many beliefs that acting as stumbling blocks, but one of the greatest deterrents to enlightenment is hero worshipping. Hero worshipping is caused primarily by the strong propensity we have toward seeing power in others, while condemning ourselves for not having it.

During our brief moments of clarity, we clearly know that our Guides taught us to depend on them, and trust whatever they taught us. This information is responsible for many of us seeking enlightenment in others, while condemning ourselves for not having it.

In other words, they taught us to seek enlightenment within existing beliefs and values. And within these beliefs we are always inadequate.

Nevertheless, to free our minds from our Guides' teachings, we must recreate ourselves with new enlightened beliefs and values. Now we are able to release our minds from our attachment to our Guides -- parents, society, and experience -- and use our Powers of Mind to revalue us with enlightenment.

Meanwhile, it's important for us to remember that we were not sent into this world to live according to way others believe we should live. That's why we are all born with Powers of Mind. This means we have the power in our minds to free ourselves from what others have taught us.

Powers of Mind is the source of enlightenment. It's our unconditioned consciousness waiting to be conditioned with enlightened beliefs and values. These are the beliefs and values that remove the distortions from our minds.

Powers of Mind is the clarity that connects us to our Creator, and the rest of the universe. We also understand that Powers of Mind and enlightenment are choices available for us to make.
