The power to desire is the foundation for creativity. We desire to overcome the current conditions in our lives. We desire to achieve success. We desire to have enlightened minds. And we continue to have desires ad infinitum.
"The desire to change is a powerful force that you must reckon with if you want to change the way you think, act, work, and live. The undercurrent of power producing your desires connects you with a much higher power.
"If you search for this power, it will not only transform your life, it will lead you to your unconditioned, uncluttered, intuitive consciousness: a place where all things are possible. Unfortunately, far too many people believe this consciousness exists outside of them." --Seeds from the Ashes
"I acknowledge that for me to change my beliefs and values, I must first be willing to enter into self-discovery." --- National BYE Society
The desire to change is the first step in the self-discovery process. Self-discovery means the desire to understand the development of our beliefs and values. In other words, the willingness on our part to examine our own lives without the aid of others.
It's important for us to know that our thoughts and desires can exist without language, education, religion, and so forth. We can desire things instinctively or at the animal level of awareness. Unfortunately, even at this basic level, our desires are toxic.
Similarly, the more toxic our minds become, the more our desires become complicated, confused, and pernicious. This is the toxicity that produced the current conditions in our lives.
Moreover, this is also the starting point for us to begin our work by acknowledging that we are responsible for the beliefs and values that created the conditions in our lives. Regardless of where we are in life, we are solely responsible for doing the work to enlighten our minds.
When we assume responsibility for the conditions in our lives, then we are prepared to begin the inward journey of self-discovery. This is a journey all enlightenment warriors must make. It is the narrow, less traveled road that's brightly illumined with clarity.
On the enlightenment road is Powers of Mind. When we decide to enter into self-discovery, we discover this great power within us. This is the power we need to assist us with understanding how to identify and overcome the toxic beliefs and values distorting our clarity to perceive the limitless power within us.
"The self-discovery process empowers (enlightens) you to go beyond the boundaries imposed on you by family, friends, and society. It leads you into another level (realm) of consciousness where you will face the challenges of establishing new, more complete relationships with other people." --Seeds from the Ashes
