POWER AND STRENGTH

Power and Strength need definition. Power is the force that is used over others. Power comes in the form of higher and lower. It is demonstrated in coercion, influence over others, and any type energy to get people to do what they do not, wholeheartedly, want to do. It is any influence that is not love.

Strength comes from your being. It is the ability to sustain; to stand up to the forces of power. It is the ability to be who you are, regardless of influence.
 
Our egos are constantly trying to trick us into thinking we need to be powerful to protect ourselves. The truth is power is empty; it comes without peace. The more you have, the more you need to protect it. It comes with the fear you might lose. Like all the egos' tricks, it is empty and adds nothing to your being.

Strength is the willingness to be vulnerable. To be out there, for all to see. To be unafraid of criticism and judgement from others. Strength comes from relinquishing the ego. The more you can let the ego slide the stronger you become. Strength comes from knowing love is the only force there is. Strength comes from a quiet state. A state of peace.

In the Old World, power was the dominate force in all relationships, whether they be husband/wife, teacher/student, nation/nation- all of human interaction. Of course there were exceptions, all through history there were people who rose above the dominate paradigm.

In the New World power is eschewed. It will no longer be permissible to exert power over others. If you are in a relationship where you feel power being used to shape your behavior; aren't you feeling uncomfortable about it? If you are the person who uses power, are you willing to give it up?

Having power never brings peace. Controlling someone else, only brings anxiety. What if you lose? If your controlling someone else, the potential is always to lose. You will never feel  peace in the relationship.

Internationally, power leads to war. Personally, it leads to divorce, resignation, pain, loneliness and conflict at all levels.

Humanity is ready to give up power as a viable way to behave. Don't look for evidence of it globally. Although I know it is true because of the increase in unconditional love bathing our planet, it won't be obvious for awhile. If you look you will find it in your personal life. Relationships based on power are beginning to chafe to the degree they are becoming intolerable. On the other hand, the more you are willing to give up power the more peaceful you will become. You will find life richer and more rewarding in every way. The less you exude the need for power, the freer people are around you. You will feel greater intimacy and spontaneity.

The principle is that we are all equal and love is the only energy there is. Power is inequality. It is higher and lower. It does not fit in the New World. If you are to enter paradise, you must give up the idea of power.

There is great peace in being and letting others be. As we give up the dictates of our egos, we will feel the love flowing around us and between us. There will be no temptation to return to the old ways.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
