We were not born with toxic beliefs and values; we were taught them by others.
Today, we have an opportunity to recreate ourselves with power. This new power is created from within our minds where it currently exists as a colorless, faceless, and formless being. It has the power to become many things, but it is always greater than the things it becomes..
Many of us are unable to discover and use this power because we're unwilling to challenge and overcome our current beliefs and values. Even though we desire change in our lives, we don't want it to be a complete one. We believe we need to keep the beliefs and values we like and rid ourselves of the ones we don't like.
Our fears of the unknown self, the one that's free of toxic beliefs and values, are what prevent many of us from letting go completely of our self-developed egos. We find it to be frightening and wasting our time searching for an invisible power in our minds.
Most of us have already decided that our education, jobs, and religious commitments are sufficient as they currently exist. This commitment to toxic beliefs and values is so powerful that we even ignore the enlightened ones of the past. And by ignoring them, we divulge fickleness in our own toxic beliefs and values.
We cherry pick among our beliefs and values. Even though, we strongly believe that the enlightened Sages of the past had overcome their toxic beliefs and values by seeking clarity within their minds, we continue to cling to them, because of our fears of the unknown consciousness in our minds.
Similarly, it's important for us to realize that stagnant minds add to our unwillingness to express fecund minds and release the credulous attachment to what we already believe about ourselves and others. This is the process of moving from myopic ignorance to expansive self-awareness.
Meanwhile, for us to condition our minds to move beyond its fears is an autodidact process. However, it's not autodidact with toxic beliefs and values, but from our willingness to use Powers of Mind.
We were not born with toxic beliefs and values; we were taught them by others.
Powers of Mind is the light within our minds that guide us to our intuitive-unconditioned consciousness, which is enlightenment. This power is activated whenever we decide to challenge, doubt or question what others have taught us.
With Powers of Mind we are able to discern the limitations of human creations. This means we can clearly understand that what we have been taught by others was designed to make or mold us into individuals who are dependent on what we have been taught.
