The Power of Transcendence Within Us

 Regardless of how much we depend on others, we cannot absolve ourselves of our own beliefs and values. We are responsible for our own awareness-of-being. And for most of us, this means we are always aware of being powerless, and searching for the unknown, invisible power within us.

We acquired beliefs about this invisible power from the Theologians who have anointed themselves as deciphers of God's consciousness. They teach people of a "power that's greater than you" without having discovered this power themselves.

Similarly, most of us have been taught many Biblical, and other references to support the existence of this inner-power. Many of us believe it exists in our prayers, meditations, and within the churches, temples, synagogues, and other putatively spiritual places. Unfortunately, most of us are unable to find this power, much less use it to overcome our beliefs and values.

Meanwhile, whether we understand it or not, we continue to use beliefs and values that existed before our births into the world. Transcendence of toxic beliefs and values is a much greater awareness-of-being than say, overcoming addictions, anger, racism, religious dogma, and so on.

Many of us get caught-up in spiritual rhetoric. We want to believe that someone, a minister for example, has discovered this inner-power that continues to elude us.

So we trick ourselves into believing we are entering transcendence when someone tells us this great power to overcome sin or suffering is actually within us. When we hear this, we feel a power tingling over our bodies. We then believe this power is God or whomever we believe has greater power than us.


After we claim our transcendence from our sins and suffering, we continue to experience powerlessness in our lives. We continue to struggle. We continue to depend on others for employment, education, loans,  guidance, and so forth. .

Most of the people who make these claims of spiritual transformation continue to live powerless lives. On the one hand, they believe they have discovered God, while on the other hand, they fear those who control the society where we live.

For many of us, powerless is a way of life. It's not only an attitude we have about ourselves, but it's our awareness-of-being. Unfortunately we don't know yet, how to embody power because we've been powerless all of our lives.

Nevertheless, we can transform our spiritual atrophy. We first must commit ourselves to Powers of Mind. And from this sagacious perspective we're able to transcend our powerless beliefs and values.

This is the invisible inner-power that we must discover for ourselves. This power is not in our brains, but exits without our brains being aware of its existence. It is Powers of Mind or unconditioned consciousness.


Powers of Mind is our awareness-of-being, without being aware of being something. Powers of Mind is transcendence.
