Spirituality for Living

Spirit is power. There is an integrity to power, and it does arise when we’re in touch with our spirit. The powerful we speak of even negatively have their power not from an innate link to the power of the world, but because of how people allow their power to be diverted. Because they accept the primacy of a set of thoughts that they call “the real world”. We are taught to ignore our instincts, and that disempowers us. Disconnects us from the world and from each other. Spirit = truth = power, or as I have said before; Truth is spirit, and spirit is truth. So be spirited.

“You can have power over people as long as you don’t take everything away from them. But when you’ve robbed a man of everything, he’s no longer in your power.” Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” Carl Sagan

Power Is Not Force

Power. It’s a very complicated topic in a way, and yet not as complicated as people make it. Perhaps first an important distinction: Power is not force, and most people who are attempting to show power are actually showing force. Force is not powerful. It’s just forceful, and rigid. What is power actually? Control? Hmm, a storm controls nothing. Is it not powerful? Control is force as most people establish control, and how long does their control usually last? Even when you think you have control by force, it’s often a delusion. So, what is power? Well, the original definition… Seek More

Logistics of Spirit

Power is the logistics of spirit. Where does it come from and reside? The cycles, the memory, the creative potential energy. It could be seen as the ground of all other energies.  The grand unified field of physics. Power is lost when we break it into pieces as our minds so love to do? Basically, yes.  For functional purposes it is lost to us. Virtue in alchemy is the property a material has to interact with other materials. The most popular and active materials being considered catalysts, and the whole dynamic described as transmutation. In Taoism, virtue is the inherent behaviour… Seek More

Life Driven Power

Sometimes the power of science can cut through myth? Sometimes the power of science creates its own myths. Scientific egotism really needs a reality check. A big piece of our medical knowledge is actually recycled shamanism, but not the profit motive. But the point is, any observation regardless of ascription, looks at the universe and our deceptions (especially of the ‘self’ kind) and will always have to compare to observations? Indeed, I agree, and our ancestors gave us very simple methods for observation that are dismissed by the world at large as meaningless mysticism. Though less so today, even meditation.… Seek More

Power In Life

The subject is power, and I’m not talking about the egotists ambition. I’m talking about the force that moves the world. There is power, and we think we have it, and yet deeper in our hearts we really fear we don’t. And for most of us on any level, we aren’t really sure what it is. If power is getting things your own way, then I offer this. There is an old Arab curse; May your every wish be immediately fulfilled. If this was the way of the world, and the real way of power, how would the world be?… Seek More

You Are Power

In Hawaiian culture, they acknowledge all forms of life as family, and they aren’t being abstract about it. So my power is the power of the piece of pizza I ate this morning, should I declare myself to be pizza? Sometimes when you’re hungry you feel your strength coming back by every bite. Indeed, and in my experience when you let yourself appreciate that, you are gaining power. You actually gain more from what you eat, and it is wasted when you are “busy eating”. People get busy, but power is not busyness. Power comes well before that, and will endure after.… Seek More

Dynamic Peace

I will be honest. I both don’t like people at all, and like them very much. I find them endlessly amazing. I did an interview not too long ago and was asked what I intended to do. What my goal was. For myself nothing, because there is nothing really for me to get.  But I do have a vision. I see things, so I’m just sharing that and hoping it helps. Thank you for sharing that. It helps me. Then I will add, you don’t know how grateful I am to hear that, or now you do. It motivates me… Seek More
