The word ‘Power’ is misunderstood in our current culture. Of all of our sources of energy, it is the one that has been jaded, misconstrued and misused. We are taught to abandon our power in a false effort to maintain peace. Power is not a negative, it is not greed. The true intent of Power does not mean to ‘power’ over someone or something, or give it away.
Everyone has Power- It is your Divine, inherent right. It is your Divine sense of being, purpose and Light. We source our power from our own inner temple. Each temple is infinitely unique in the expanse of our Oneness in the Cosmic Light. Power generates from the heart source energy to manifest and transmute in the ever cycling process of creation.
However, in our Earth Challenge, Power is a challenge we engage to learn how to use our energy. There are karmic rules in this ‘Power Play’ game.
Rule 1. If you give your power away, it is not given away equally, it is received exponentially.
For example: When Germany gave Adolf Hitler more an more legislative power in the 1930’s and 40’s- the giving away of power by the people to one person was received by Hitler in waves of Exponential Power. A vacuum of energy was created and as history can attest it is one of the most incredible examples of distorted exponential power energy exchange.
Rule 2: Claiming your power, balancing your power is constant work. Once you understand how to balance your power, the work becomes second nature like driving a car or walking down the street.
However, claiming your power, especially after you have giving it away is hard work.
We create our own monsters:
One of the most common examples of power plays is women giving away their power in a relationship.
It starts innocently enough. You are invited on a date and asked, “Where would you like to have dinner?” And the woman shyly says…” Oh, anywhere is fine with me.” Really… maybe you don’t like Sushi and that is where your date takes you. You hide your distaste and compromise your desires for the sake of being liked by this date. This is how abusive relationships begin… little by little you dissolve yourself to form into what you think your boyfriend/spouse wants you to be. Each time you discount your yourself-give your power over to someone else, that power is given exponentially. So much so, the boyfriend/spouse stops asking what you would like and starts taking command of everything. He didn’t ask for the distorted power- you gave it away. It becomes intoxicating and addicting for the person receiving all the distorted power and it can evolve into a negative, spiraling karmic twist that will balance somehow…often in ways we would not have wanted for ourselves. Distortions of power is where we correlate the negative aspect of the energy. Loosing control of your power began with you and it can end with you. Relationships based on honoring each other is the fulcrum in the balance of Power.
There are a myriad of ways we can give away our power- in our work, with our boss, with our friends, with our family, society, etc.; and there are countless creative ways to balance it back!
Understanding and accepting that we create our own realities is the first step to claiming your Power. The second step is to observe ourselves and take responsibility in our role of the power differential.
The third step is making those small steps to re-balancing. Learning to say No, speaking your mind (with honor and love), holding to your values, etc. are examples of small steps. Distortions are unsustainable, and our free will is always available- you job is to claim your Power.
