The illusions we create to define ourselves come from a reality created by others. Our lives begin in the darkness of others' beliefs and values. And for most of us, they end in the same darkness.
Many of us accept whatever we have been taught about ourselves and others. We unknowingly allow others to encapsulate our minds with powerless beliefs and values. We even accept the societal labels of race, religion, gender, knowledge, status, and so forth to determine our worthiness and value as individuals.
Nevertheless, after we embody our labels, and accept them as our awareness of being, we begin to distrust our invisible unconditioned consciousness. We are unaware that this power is all we need to create a new awareness of being enlightened.
Our Guides, the others, and us, define this power according to different interpretations and modifications that have passed from one generation to the next. And unfortunately for them and us, none of us have ever seen the original, unmodified and uninterpreted original documents.
A good illustration of this is The Scriptures of the various religions. Most of us know they have all been modified and reinterpreted by others. Yet, even with this knowledge, we accept them as factual and divinely inspired.
This willingness to trust what others teach us is responsible for our powerlessness. We devalue our own power by disowning our Powers of Mind. And by doing this, we have chosen to live in the darkness created for us by others.
Many of us know, but don't actually believe, that Powers of Mind exists in us. We choose to rely on information that teach us that this power exists somewhere else. Unfortunately, we devalue our own transcendence by choosing to live within the illusions of race, poverty, hatred, religion, status, and so on.
We also know that our awareness of being is transcendent. This means our lives are not limited to poverty, a ghetto, abusive parents, status, or any other wretched conditions. We can choose at any time to transcend these conditions by embracing our Powers of Mind.
In other words, where we were born or whatever our societal label, we don't have to let this experience determine our transcendent choices. With Powers of Mind our awareness of being is transcendentally expressed in enlightenment.
When we transcend others' beliefs and values, we awaken in us the desire to be "born again" in the consciousness of Powers of Mind.
For us to become "born again" we must understand that this transcendence is not a ritualistic one. It is the transcendence of the beliefs and values we were taught by others.
The consciousness of transcendence means our awareness of being is determined by our Powers of Mind.
