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.
