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.
