It's never easy to admit that we choose the actions that create the current conditions in our lives.
Even though most of us are unaware of the effects produced from our
actions we, nevertheless, are responsible for them.
The current conditions in our lives begin with our awareness-of-being. We believe we are such-and-such a person with certain attributes that make us unique.
We believe it's our uniqueness that empowers us with special qualifications. And this makes us different: a person or individual endowed with special powers from God or a great power outside of this world.
When we recognize and understand that all of us possess Powers of Mind; the unique power of both Creator and Created, then we will respond differently to others.We will speak to their Powers of Mind rather than the visual effects distorting this power. .
This paradigm shift in consciousness revolutionizes our beliefs and values about how we respond to others' conditions. This new perspective enlightens us to discontinue creating programs making us responsible for changing others' conditions.
In other words, instead of creating dependency on others, we are creating awareness of self-responsibility for overcoming the current conditions in our own lives.
When we change our awareness-of-being, we understand that the alcoholic, drug addict, homeless, unemployed, illiterate,
murderer, minister, teacher, and so forth, all share equally in the use
of Powers of Mind. This power is not given to special people but to all
those who are willing to find it, and use it to overcome their current
beliefs and values.
Many of us remain powerless, victims of hopeless dreams, because we don't know how to create new, non-toxic beliefs and values. Our minds are embedded with toxic perceptions of ourselves that distort who we really are without our beliefs and values.
We have to decide that we want to discover another perspective without toxic beliefs and values. This means our willingness to transcend our self-created paradoxical relationship with whom we believe we are now, and what we desire to become later.
Similarly, we must be willing to acknowledge that the process for creating conditions in our lives is an innocuous one. It's our interpretation of the effects that makes it pernicious.
In other words, the process for creating unwanted conditions works the same as creating happy conditions. We are the creators in both situations. Although we are the creators, we believe we are nonparticipants in creating unwanted conditions.
Conversely, when we create happy conditions in our lives, we believe they come from God or a powerful outside force. We find it difficult in both cases to acknowledge that we are the sole creator of all the conditions in our lives.
Most of us will never totally change from our current awareness-of being unless we search within ourselves for another perspective. This new perspective is Powers of Mind: the one we use to create a new awareness-of-being.
Powers of Mind is our limitless unconditioned consciousness. This is the consciousness that precedes the existence of all our awareness-of-beings.
When we understand that our unconditioned consciousness is the I AM, then we understand the sagacious teachings of the Enlightened Ones. We will clearly know that all of us are equipped with both the powers of Creator and Created.
