Powrs of Mind Conquers the Darkest Hour

"I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current conditions in my life."

When we reach the so-called darkest hour or the time of great struggle and turmoil in our lives,  many of us believe this is the point where it cannot get any worse. And some of us even take this further by believing "God will not place more on us than we can bear."

Unfortunately, many of us are not conditioned to accept personal responsibility for our problems. We have been taught to blame them on outside sources -- both known and unknown -- and absolve ourselves.

So we introduce God and other sources as being responsible for both creating our problems and solving them as well. We actually believe God had something to do with our decisions to live above our means or enter into toxic personal relationships..

Moreover, we rationalize our culpability by denying our willful actions in creating the debt, unemployment, home foreclosure, obesity, food, drug and alcohol addiction, toxic  personal relationships, unruly and disobedient children, and so on. We did it, but someone else manipulated us into doing it to teach us a lesson.

Similarly, whether we have the clarity of mind to recognize our responsibility in creating the current conditions in our lives or not, we did. And if we desire to overcome the current conditions in our lives, we have to stop blaming God and others for our reliance on toxic beliefs and values to make our decisions.

The darkest hour is just another illusion from our toxic beliefs and values. It exists because we empower it to exist. And conversely it ceases to exist when we enlighten our minds.

Many of us continue to create an endless supply of darkest hour moments in our lives. We go from one toxic job to another without realizing or declaring what we really want to see in our lives. In other words, we continue to accept mediocrity in our lives rather than greatness 

Nevertheless, when we stop for a moment and examine the beliefs and values we are using to make our decisions, we create the openness necessary for us to discover other perspectives available to us. This means we are not stuck in the same toxic decisions-making process.

Some of us have discovered Powers of Mind as the perspective or awareness we use to overcome the darkness in our lives. This is the awareness of being that sheds light on the illusions created from our toxic beliefs and values.

Meanwhile, when we discover that Powers of Mind is the actually I Am in us, we free ourselves from the toxic beliefs and values disguising themselves as problems.  We clearly know that all of our problems begin and end in our beliefs and values. 

Conversely, the power to go beyond the darkest hour begins and ends in our Powers of Mind.

"I acknowledge that I have the power to change my beliefs and values."
