The Price of Enlightenment is Free

Today many of us stand at the door of change. This change burning feverishly within us is the desire to  express our Powers of Mind.

For us to release this great power in us, we must be willing to close the door to powerless and open the one to enlightenment.  Far too many of us have restricted our consciousness to believe we are powerless to overcome our toxic beliefs and values without the aid of others. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Most of our struggles come from ignorance or the lack of awareness to understand all of our options. For many of us, mired deeply in confusion about our identities, we are unaware that ignorance is the whore of powerlessness,

Many of us choose to live in suffering because we are unaware of the existence of Powers of Mind. We have been taught by others to believe Heaven exists outside of us. We forget that earlier definitions of the word Heaven meant "expansion."

We have the power in us to expand beyond the toxic beliefs and values causing us to suffer. It's unfortunate, but in many situations, we have become accustomed to asking others for permission to expand our consciousness. We frequently pay others for this information.

It is important for all of us to remember that we are not powerless. We have the price for admission into enlightened consciousness. It is paid for with our Powers of Mind.

The cry made thousands of years ago, "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand," is as relevant today as it was then. We have the Powers of Mind to create an expansive consciousness with many mansions of limitless consciousness.

The path to enlightenment is free. There is no charge for being who we were created to be. Similarly, there's a significant price to pay to travel on the path to suffering. For this trip, we must abdicate our Powers of Mind and follow the teachings of others.
