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.
