Awakening With Powers of Mind

"I am that which I know that I am."

Let's face it, many of us are afraid to wake up. We don't want to see the world as it is without our toxic interpretations. So we choose to remain asleep rather than enlighten our minds and change the way we perceive ourselves and others.

Most of us are not fully asleep, we're half-asleep in the miasma of the illusions. And while we exist in this desultory stupor of victimization, we continue to dream and pray for greatness to come to us.

Our toxic dreams reflect in every detail the lethargic behavior associated with our powerlessness. In other words, our vacuous dreams only serve to further confirm our powerlessness.

Whenever we awaken from our dreams, we are still unable to follow through on our desires to attain power.
The world, as we know it, remains unknowable to us.

Unfortunately for many of us, our dreams are only reflections of the beliefs and values we embodied from others. This distorted perspective of our awareness of being keeps the toxic blinders over our eyes. We are then unable to see clearly in the darkness.


Many of us believe the darkness in our lives comes from the outside world. We have forgotten that it comes from our self-created illusions.

This is a bitter pill of mindfulness to accept that we are the creators of our own darkness and limitations. For us to accept personal responsibility for the conditions in our lives, we must be willing to let go of the toxic beliefs and values and seek Powers of Mind.

There are some toxic beliefs and values that most of us are unwilling to let go or change. These beliefs and values are the ones that provide us with hope that someday our problems will go away.

We want to believe in religion, moral principles, judicial and legislative redress of our problems, and the institutions of higher learning. Most of us accept these as being our source for enlightenment or for achieving success.

Nevertheless, whether we're aware of the power of our beliefs and values or not, they are responsible for the current conditions in our lives. Our beliefs and values are also responsible for the way we present ourselves to the world with or without power.

Our awareness of being is determined by how clearly we perceive ourselves and others. When we demean or devalue our power, we perceive ourselves and others from this prism. This awareness of being is not to be confused with Powers of Mind. 

Powers of Mind, our unconditioned consciousness, is greater than our toxic beliefs and values. It is our awareness of being colorless, faceless, and formless. This is the sagacity that's greater than our illusions. 

Similarly, when we accept our illusions as the way the world is, then we remain victims of our beliefs and values. This awareness of being encapsulate us in a toxic quagmire of suffering. Yet is from this awareness of being that we have our greatest opportunity to awaken to the Powers of Mind within.

Meanwhile, an awakened mind can never be powerless or victimized by toxic beliefs and values. When we discover Powers of Mind, we understand that things such as freedom, victimization, materialism, religion, and so forth are within our minds. It is not found it the illusions causing us to devalue ourselves.

"I am always one with my awareness of being."
