Opening the Doors of Consciousness

Our consciousness is the beginning and ending of all of our awareness-of-being. We exist because we're aware of our existence.

This means we are fully cognizant of who we are now. It also means we're capable of  knowing that we're  responsible for the current conditions in our lives.

Most of us have not reached the level of awareness where we're able to fully accept responsibility for what's happening in our lives. We continue to focus on our interactions with others and try to assign culpability to them. 

When we're enlightened enough to understand that our problems are caused by our beliefs and values, then we will know that we must work to change them. This requires a new perspective: a new awareness-of-being that is independent of what others have taught us.

Most of us are intrinsically dependent on the beliefs and values we acquired from our parents and society. We've conditioned our consciousness into accepting that we are of such and such race, color, gender, nationality, religion, status, and so on.

Unfortunately, these beliefs and values are responsible for our current awareness-of-being. In other words, we have accepted ourselves and others according to what others have taught us.

Nevertheless, we continue to reshape our consciousness to satisfy our insatiable thirst for happiness or worthiness.In many situations, we're willing to tell ourselves that the even the drudgery of monotonous work fulfills our need for happiness and worthiness.

This type of reasoning locks us into a toxic awareness-of-being. And it's from this prism of toxicity that we attempt to create an enlightened consciousness.

When we reach the point of recognizing that our unconditioned consciousness contains with it the limitless expressions of awareness-of-being, we will then understand that we were born with this power. We will also know that there are many doors within this consciousness.

This means that behind each door is enlightenment. And for us to unlock the doors, we need a Powers of Mind consciousness or a toxic free consciousness.

Meanwhile, when we understand that Powers of Mind consciousness is the toxic mind cleanser, we will have found the keys that open all the doors. And when we open the doors, we will understand that the Creator and Heaven exists in our unconditioned consciousness.

We will also understand that the Bible and many other spiritual books were written from an Eastern perspective, which means our Western perspective frequently lacks the clarity to fully understand its psychological symbolism.

In other words, we're using our Western perspective to explain the relationship between the Father (unconditioned consciousness) and the Son (conditioned consciousness). However, for us to fully understand its symbolism, we must be reborn in our Powers of Mind consciousness.

Similarly, this Powers of Mind consciousness will provide us with the clarity to understand the psychological expressions used by the writers of the Synoptic Scriptures. We will understand why they used symbolism to close the doors to all those who have not cleared their consciousness of toxic beliefs and values.

It's important for us to remember that our unconditioned consciousness exists in absolute time, and is not limited to the spatiotemporal awareness we use to evaluate our lives. This means we can achieve spiritual transcendence in our own lives.

We must continue to reinforce within ourselves that we have the Powers of Mind consciousness to go beyond everything we have been taught by others. And to never doubt that this theosophic awareness-of-being is found only in our own unconditioned consciousness.
