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
