Powers of Mind Enlightenment off the Crowded Road

The path to enlightenment begins with a single desire. And if we desire to know our purpose for being, then we must seek and discover the Powers of Mind or the I Am in us.

Some of us are smitten with the current results in our lives. We feel that we have arrived at a place of comfort and security. We measure our lives by our accomplishments and how they compare to others.

Most of our suffering comes from the toxic beliefs and values we are using to evaluate our lives. And unfortunately, in many cases, most of us feel inadequate because of these toxic evaluations. We use them to devalue ourselves, to make us feel inadequate, and to keep us off balance in our decision making process.

All of our problems with who we are come from the toxic belief and values we are using to travel on the crowded road. We believe this illusory journey will reward us with the security it has promised. Unfortunately, we cannot discover enlightenment, nor can we achieve security, on this metaphorical road.

We can, however, get off the crowded road and discover that Powers of Mind is the only security we can ever know. It is not only the essence of our awareness of being, but the completeness we are searching for from others.

Many of us find it difficult to get off the crowded road. We have been taught to believe that on this path, one paved with desires for wealth, status, fame, security, religious fulfillment, and so forth, we will discover our true purpose for being in this world.

Nevertheless, on the crowded road, we remain in a constant flux of insecurity. We can never get enough things to satisfy our insatiable desires for security or completeness.

So we must ask ourselves why we stay on this path? Why are we unwilling to let go of our toxic desires? For many of us, the answer is simple: We don't know or trust anything other than what we have been taught.

Whenever we desire to explore the unknown light shining brightly within our Powers of Mind, we become of afraid of it. We actually don't know how to trust our Powers of Mind.

Similarly, this level of understanding about our awareness of being is not found on the crowded road. It is on the narrow, very narrow, path in our minds beneath the toxic desires causing us to feel incomplete.

The path to Powers of Mind enlightenment requires a commitment from those who are willing to get off the crowded road. This lifetime commitment must be an unwavering one that's unaffected by the vicissitudes of security and insecurity.
