Power of self

When our thinking is based on our objects in our experience, “we are constantly seeking the approval of others. Our thinking and behavior are always in anticipation of a response. It is therefore fear-based.” There is also a “need control things. The need for approval, the need to control things, and the need for external power are needs that are based on fear. This kind of power is not the power of pure potentiality or power of the self, or real power.” …”Power based on object referral …lasts only as long as the object of reference is there. If you have a certain (job) title or if you have a lot of money the power you enjoy goes with “ the title or money. “Ego based power will last only last as long as those things last. As soon as the title, the job, the money go away, so does the power”.

 

The true self, “which is your spirit, your soul, is completely free from those things. It is immune to criticism, it is unfearful of any challenge, and it feels beneath no one. And yet, it is also humble and feels superior to no one, because it recognizes that everyone else is the same self, the same spirit in different disguise.” .. “It draws people to you and it also draws things that you want to you.”…”It is the support of divinity; it is the support that comes from being in the state of grace. Your power is such that you enjoy a bond with people and people enjoy a bond with you”..”A bonding that comes from true love”.
