Power
Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers.
Socrates (469 BC - 399 BC)
It is by being wounded that power grows, and in the end can become tremendous
Nietzsche
Now we get to it. I''ve written of emotion and images, culture and plasmind, freedom and suffering. But Power. One sip of this wine sends simple heads reeling.
What is power? Electricity comes immediately to my mind. Its power is obvious. Less obvious is the potential energy of any object or person. Power is the ability to affect change. Energy is change. To affect change one first senses, then feels, then acts; as one movement. Everyone has the ability to affect change. Everyone is energy, has energy, and can direct flows of energy. Some see the power of images, some direct emotion to make manifest these images. Some see the power of images and are imprisoned.
Synthesensactia achieved as one movement is diverse, subtle, yet strong. See your now images , feel your feelings now, your path to role is naturally ordered. It is important to understand a simple fact. Any movement away from what IS is a dissipation of energy. The universe energy flowing to and through you. Electric, magnetic, gravitational, bio-neural-electromagnetic, and all we don't know of streams and fields intermixing through one central foci--you.
This is the power to learn to surf, to travel, to create with. Habitual focus on illusion is movement from what is. Attend to sense and feeling NOW. Images, thoughts, memories will flow with the universal energy spontaneously. No need to collect and carry the heavy burden of past memory. The new idea is a spherical wave and will die with the next. Release your memory, do not fear the unknown consciousness of "I don't know", stillness, emptiness. Its simply the downside of the wave, clearness; soon the upside comes and fills vision with new images.
Immediately the universal power is apparent to be used Tao-like. Never resisting, but always using what streams of energy are at hand. Arise Tao-Ninjas!
Always many streams back to Power!
I would wager that most of our political leaders understand very little of Power. Everyday they prove it. They still rule because the people give up their power totally and understand nothing but the bent knee. This is a successful survival strategy but the lack of balls is sickening. The alternative of non-violent or passive resistance is the way. It takes more balls to be non-violent in the face of violence than it does to lash back. Compassion breaks the cycle of violence. Compassion is therefore Power.
You see if Power is the ability to affect change what change have our leaders worldwide affected? Its basically the same corrupt small-minded thugs creating nothing and destroying everything. Sure some good people get in and create good works but these type are always middle management. Occasionally a philosopher king rule justly and his people prosper. Persons utilizing the entire power of the universe through his/her Nexus will create health, beauty, love, inspire men and women to great achievements. Kennedy inspired a nation to go to the moon. And somebody killed this man.
Each and every human on this planet must strive to the greatest extent. We must sense, feel, act and use all the powers of the universe to non-violently affect a great change into saneness and love. We must learn to consciously use images as tools instead of being victims of our own beliefs and thoughts and the purposeful propaganda of others.
Everyday we make choices about what to do, what to pay attention to, and what to think. Your very being is your power. You can do anything at any moment. So we don't have to even resist non-violently. We simply have to not follow the would be rulers. Do something else, anything else, or nothing. Just don't obey. Make up your own mind. Trust in your own feelings. Following your own thoughts and feelings will lead you to your own power and deny it to any other power seeking individuals or groups.
May we be successful before we destroy ourselves with our own stupidity. Perhaps by wounding ourselves enough we will gain wisdom, which is true power.
