Today many of us are overwhelmed by the news that our society is not as peaceful as we desire it to be. Unfortunately, this current torrent of anger and emotional angst, resulting in back and forth accusations on racism and the merits of law and order, are not expressions of our spirituality.
Our current awareness-of-being is distorted by our perspectives on power. In other words, some of us believe power is expressed in weapons of destruction. While others believe it is expressed best in mass demonstrations reminiscent of a past time era. Unfortunately, these two perspectives are merely expressions of our toxic beliefs and values.
Most, if not all, of us haven't reached the point in our spiritual development to access our Powers of Mind. We are still in the dark ages of spiritual consciousness. This means we're unable to become enlightened in the face of attacks on the toxic beliefs and values that we acquired from our parents and society.
For those of us who desire enlightenment, we must first detach ourselves from the illusory beliefs that somehow our actions are spiritual. This requires us to create another awareness-of-being that perceive ourselves and others without our toxic distortions. This also means we must stop deceiving ourselves about who we are.
Similarly, whatever spiritual power we believe in, we must come to terms with how we relate to this power. And also, how we can access and use this power to transcend our current beliefs and values. These are the ones responsible for our anger, our violence, and our attempts to disconnect ourselves from racism and other deleterious emotions.
Some of us believe that Powers of Mind is the consciousness that's greater than our current beliefs and values. We have discovered this consciousness is the spiritual perspective that's missing from our current actions.
Meanwhile, all of the spiritual sages, Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Muhammad, and others realized that Powers of Mind is the born-again consciousness. They knew this consciousness as that which is greater than what others had taught them about their awareness-of-being.
Powers of Mind consciousness is the awareness-of-being that transcends hope and prayer. When we access Powers of Mind, we are no longer angry, powerless, or restricted by societal labels of race, gender, age, wealth, status, and so on.
Nevertheless, when we reach the clarity in our lives that we're able to acknowledge that Powers of Mind is not responsible for what we're doing to each other, then we're able to begin the self-discovery process of personal responsibility. This clearly means our beliefs and values are responsible for what's happening in our society.
Whenever we embrace personal responsibility for our beliefs and values, we are then able to begin the reconstruction of a new awareness-of-being. This is our confirmation that we have the power to transcend our current beliefs and values.
Our current awareness-of-being connect us to others in a perspective known only to each individual. And it's from this toxic perspective that we commit all types of deleterious actions against each other. Unfortunately, these actions only move us further from our Powers of Mind.
Meanwhile, if we are ever going to transcend our proclivities for anger and violence, we must first stop deluding ourselves that God sanctions our behavior. God didn't create our beliefs and society. They were created by people in this world; the material world, not the spiritual one.
