The Consciousness Beyond Dependency on Others
All of us have been conditioned to accept our awareness-of-being according to how Society has defined us by color, race, religion, status, and so forth. This mind-conditioning process is responsible for how we perceive ourselves and others.
So when we immerse our Self into these societal labels, we're actually accepting our awareness-of-being according to the labels. This acceptance makes it difficult for us to discover another perspective of ourselves that's independent of what we currently think of ourselves.
Similarly, whether we're aware of it or not, our awareness-of-being is the consciousness of now. This means we are always aware of being someone that's defined by color, race, religion, status, gender, and so on.. And it's this awareness-of-being that we're using to make all of our decisions.
This means our current awareness-of-being is filled with desires to overcome lack, limitation, and struggle. This constant desire to become something other than our current awareness-of-being is what gives us the motivation to search for other perspectives.
The enlightenment principle: "I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current conditions in my life" is the cry of freedom. It is the recognition that we are the creators of our own awareness-of-being. This is the first step toward understanding how to use our Powers of Mind to create other awareness-of-being.
When we take this first step in Powers of Mind discovery, we enter onto the enlightenment path. This is the path where we're able to free our minds of the toxic beliefs and values and create a new awareness-of-being with the limitless power of clarity.
Those of us who have been willing to travel on the Powers of Mind enlightenment path are experiencing a clarity unknown to us on the crowded path. We are able to clearly see the beliefs and values responsible for the confusion in our lives.
We have discovered on the Powers of Mind path that consciousness is the source of our awareness-of- being. And that when we clean our consciousness of its dependency on toxic beliefs and values, we're able to perceive ourselves without the societal distortions.
We know that the enlightenment we seek is found within our own Powers of Mind consciousness. This is not the consciousness created by society, but the unconditioned consciousness within each of us that remains unchanged by our awareness-of-being.
When we remember the words of the enlightened one, The Christ, who said, "The Kingdom of God is within you...and there are many mansions in my father's house..." we are able to understand the spacious nature of consciousness.
The house (consciousness) he referred to is our unconditioned consciousness. This consciousness has limitless spacious (mansions) awareness of being.
For us to truly understand consciousness, we must be mindful of the fact that Eastern writers used words to express ideas different from Western interpretations. So in many instances, our ;literal interpretations of the Eastern Biblical symbolism vitiates the original clarity.
Nevertheless, nothing is hidden from our unconditioned consciousness. This transcendent force is dependent only on itself for clarity, regardless of what others teach us.
Powers of Mind is the power of transcendence. It's apotheosis presence in our awareness of being provides us with the spiritual substance of clarity.
Meanwhile, there are no excuses for our willingness to rely on others for our spiritual fulfillment We are responsible for our own awareness-of-being. We made the choices to accept the societal labels and embody them as our own awareness-of-being.
I am that person that I am aware of being.
