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.
