The source power/love/God is in all
things and all people, not just humans, Christians,
Muslims or Pantheists. A person can sense it in all
things and they can sense it in you. I have had a family
of rabbits play at my feet, been wrapped in feelings of
love and scent from trees and had various children and
adults react strongly to the presence of that force. A
truly magical experience in each case. I
could sense the God in them, and they could sense it in
me, an incredible experience.
Higher levels of communion are open
to all people, not just Christians, Muslims, etc. I
follow no particular religion and a high level of
communion with that power has been open to me. The
Christian saints are right when they say there can be no
mistaking it.
True power is a consequence, not an
objective. Power, an ability to influence others, comes
as a result of ones actions, behaviors and beliefs. It
is based on love and is inclusive, empathic and
compassionate. It is also timeless, as in the power of
Christ. False power, like being president, CEO or having
large quantities of money, is illusory, time limited and
based on fear. This type of power is frequently seen as
an objective in this culture. Examples of this type of
false power are numerous.
True authority is a sacred gift based
on ones actions, behaviors and beliefs. Again, it is
based on love and is inclusive, empathic and
compassionate. It is not based on exclusiveness and
fear. The objective is to be of service to others in
helping them grow and develop rather than having power
over them.
The human concept of perfection is
based on things like fear and guilt. It is flawed and
harmful much of the time. In fact, I know of no
situation where it is helpful, though it sometimes
drives people through fear. The concept causes people to
drive themselves toward a goal that was generally set
for them by someone else. The result is anxiety and
negative feelings toward oneself. This concept does not
help the individual, but it certainly adds to fear. |
