What Is Power and Does Anyone Have It?

This is a philosophical question that may not be as straight forward as the reader might think. First of all, what is power? Are we talking about the ability of one to influence another? Or is it about the electric light we turn on in the dark? Maybe its about the ability to reproduce. Then again we could be talking about the power of the Spirit of the Universe and all of creation.

For me the latter is the only source of real power. It alone directs what happens in the entire universe. That means it fills all of space, governs the order of the planets, supervises what occurs on earth, and is in our minds and hearts to enforce its will over us and all that we do.

That won't fit too well with those who believe they control their lives and what they do during it. If that is correct then to what extent can they predict how and when they will die and even the nature of their family. If we were in control of everything would anyone die or, for that matter be born?

The ultimate power lies with the greatest intelligence. To deny that is to go along with a religious view of a man-god who speaks to us through the pope or some other representative. Anyone capable of higher thinking knows that such a scenario cannot be correct. The population of the world, however, is primarily made up of sheep.

That is they are incapable of working things out and they require an organised story that fits with their limited intellect. The idea of a man-god is something they can relate. That is why they support fictional characters like Jesus Christ, Micky Mouse, and now Harry Potter.

These are idols and icons worshipped because they excite and are part of a well recognised tale of existence. They are backed by buildings, statues, images, and ultimately cartoons. To go against the trend is to deny them for the sake of something that can't be seen or touched, such as a spiritual connection.

Those who have intelligence enough to come away from these worldly things and focus on the little voice within that leads and guides them are the ones with power. They are called the children of Israel and 'I-s-ra-el' translates as 'eye of light-power with God'. The eye of light is the ability to see. They are not trapped in the dark as those who go after the false gods.

So power for me is what is within and that is the Spirit of the Universe. My link to it is strong because of my memory of reincarnation and the other language that came with me. It kept the memories strong and has given me insight into what is wrong with the world and how the Spirit is dealing with it.

Yes! Millions have it because they are all part of the Spirit's family. They are receiving power through miracles of healing, peace, and communication with God. They need no interceptor or man to tell them what God is thinking or how to act. They are nurtured and ready for the harvest as the rest are removed from the earth in the devastation that is upon now. The ignorant and weak who follow the fictional beings have no place in God's future plan.
