Sometimes our consciousness becomes complacent. These are the times when we begin to relax in suffering, and refuse to go deeper into our consciousness for the power of transformation.
During our moments of complacency it's important for us to remember that because we're unaware of something doesn't mean it's unavailable to us. It means we're unwilling to search within our consciousness for the unknown and make it the known.
Most of us learn to live in our consciousness of complacency. We fight gallantly to keep our toxic beliefs and values. And in many cases, we even believe the toxicity is the solution or clarity we need to change the conditions in our lives.
In other words, we are closed to new ideas. We're too heavily invested in our toxic beliefs and values to search for another perspective.
Some of us even go so far as to deny all ideas outside the scope of our beliefs and values. We believe that what we have been taught by our parents, society, and experience represent all the power we can have achieve. In other words, this society contains within it the sum of all possible awareness-of-being for us to embrace.
Similarly, many of us have encapsulated our minds in beliefs and values that are illusions about who we are. Unfortunately, the realness of the illusions prevent us from even trying to discover another perspective. And it's our doubts about ourselves that make us powerless or victims of others' beliefs and values.
Nevertheless, when we get off the crowded road of toxic beliefs and values, we begin to understand that the only authentic power in this world is consciousness. It is our individual consciousness that determines how we perceive ourselves and others.
Meanwhile, while we succumb to our illusions about our awareness-of-being we fall prey to two of the most powerful illusions of race and religion. Our use of race and religion to guide us to enlightenment is a powerful illusion.
This awareness-of-being of such and such religion and racial group prevents us from perceiving ourselves and others without toxic distortions. Unfortunately it doesn't matter which race or religion we embrace, it still becomes our stumbling block to enlightenment.
Similarly, when we realize our consciousness is the Creator in us, we're able to understand that no other person can give us our consciousness or power for that matter. And it's when we become one with the Creator (our unconditioned consciousness) in us that we're able to free ourselves from the toxic prison we have created for ourselves in this society.
Meanwhile, we can do something about this toxicity. Some of us have discovered that Enlightenism is the Powers of Mind consciousness that frees us from our powerlessness and beliefs that society have taught us about ourselves and others.
For some of us on the enlightenment road, we understand that Enlightenism is the not-yet-discovered consciousness that precedes and is greater than our current awareness-of-being
