Powers of Mind Gets us off the Powerless Path

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

Some of us like to talk about change, but not participate in it. We wail over and over again about our powerlessness.  We complain so much about our problems that we become powerless to solve them.

Nevertheless, if we truly desire to change our lives, then it begins with our understanding of this BYE Society principle: "I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current conditions in my life." And when we  understand and feel the power of this principle, we are able to change our lives.


When our minds are filled with confusion and doubts, we are unable to understand that the power to change comes from within our own minds. And if we desire to breakthrough the miasma of failure, then we must embrace inflexibility with our beliefs and values.

There is little value found in the darkness from the basement of our minds. We can only feed off of the self-pity and powerless from our toxic beliefs and values. This is the dwelling sanctuary of failure and powerlessness.
 
For us to go to the heights of our power, we must be willing to understand what we have within our minds, and be willing to swim out into the deep waters of the ocean. In other words, we have to stop wading on the banks of the ocean.

When we accept personal responsibility for creating the conditions in our lives, the light within us shines brightly on the power we have to create new beliefs and values. This light comes only from our Powers of Mind. It is the source of our enlightenment.

Meanwhile, the more we complain about the conditions in the world, the less time we spend on changing the conditions in our own lives. If we are unhappy with our current conditions, then it seems we would also be unhappy with the beliefs and values we used to create these conditions.

Regardless of the magnitude of our current conditions, we must have faith in our Powers of Mind. This faith comes from our awareness of being already endowed with enlightened minds.

When we have the sagacity to understand that we already have what we have been seeking in others, we will know that we are the cause and effect of the current conditions in our lives.

This awareness helps us with understanding how the universal laws of prayer, meditation, faith, and imagination work. We fully understand  the statement: "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye have received them, and ye shall have them."

We must remember that in prayer and meditation, we have Powers of Mind in us. This means we enter into prayer and meditation with great power, not as powerless victims of our own creations.

So it's important for us to always remain mindful that with Powers of Mind we have the power to get off the powerless mind path and enter onto the enlightenment path.
