Many of us believe we are born devoid of real power. We are born into a world fully invested in beliefs and values that teach us that limitless power belongs exclusively to a God or divine being.
Unfortunately for us, this divine being was created and taught to us by people without limitless power. In other words, the understanding about God's limitless power originated from those with an awareness-of-being powerless.
During different epochs, many people have claimed the rights to God's power. They claimed to be chosen by God to share with us beliefs and values that will save us from the destruction of the illusions.
Many of these individuals who claimed this power remained, like the rest of us, prisoners of the beliefs and values that existed in the world before we were born. Their enlightenment wasn't transferable to the rest of us. So we continued to struggle with the whole concept of power in the phenomenal world.
The phenomenon of power in things -- bombs, guns, medicine, religion and so forth -- prevents us from ever really understanding the nature and existence of power. In other words, we don't understand how power works because we have never experienced it ourselves.
Most of us have only experienced powerlessness or existence predicated on psychological and spiritual benevolence from those who control us. Our thoughts, beliefs, values, and even our self-awareness are provided for us by others.
Similarly, what we have been taught by others limit us to live our lives in the darkness of a psychological and spiritual world of illusions. And it's from the prism of these illusions that most of us seek power over our consciousness.
Nevertheless, power is consciousness or our awareness of being. We are always aware of ourselves as being a certain type of person existing in preconditioned world. And for many of us, this awareness of being is all the power available to us in this world.
Most of us don't possess power because we lack the self-confidence to create another awareness of being This means we are powerless because we choose to be.
If we believe consciousness is capable of expressing limitless power, and we possess consciousness, then it follows that we have limitless power. This means we have the power to create any awareness of being that we choose. Power in this case is consciousness, not things or people.
Whenever we depend on people and things, the illusions of power, to transform our awareness-of-being, we have less power over ourselves. This is the path of illusions. There's only darkness here, not the light of enlightenment. I
Meanwhile, when we recognize that we have the power to free ourselves from the illusions, our minds become a fecundity of sagacious awareness-of-being. For us to do this, we first must be willing to acknowledge that our beliefs and values are responsible for the illusions.
When we gain the psychological courage to acknowledge the existence of our beliefs and values as the illusions, we will inevitably discover our Powers of Mind or an awareness-of-being greater than the illusions. This new way of thinking about power frees the consciousness to exist outside the power of the illusions.
Some of us know that with Powers of Mind, we have an inexhaustible supply of awareness-of-being to enlighten us to perceive existence outside the scope of the illusions.
