TRUE POWER

Those with true power have no power. Yes it sounds like a complete contradiction, but let me explain.

How can we walk this world with true power, not the sorry excuse for power that we are sold by governments and the media?

Power is found when you connect with your own true nature: living with truth and passion right by your side. Living with the possibility of failure and disappointment right by your side.

True power is when you have nothing to hide, when nothing is your enemy because you see clearly that everything that appears in this world is in fact inviting you to recognise your greatest truth. This doesn’t mean that you are undefended; instead it means that you are in fact invincible. Living your truth in each moment with an open heart – the willingness to venture into the shadows with an open heart – is the true meaning of power.

But here’s the thing… to walk this world with true power means that you know - not intellectually - but you know, from the deepest part of your being, that you possess no power of your own. You have surrendered all your perceived power to the Great Mystery of life – to Nature. You know that your nature and everything that appears in your experience is granted life through ‘Grace’.

When you have no power – when you have surrendered your power over to the good of all – you step into the wonderful paradox: you become powerful. You see that there is never anything to lose or gain in this manifest world. You fall in love with this world with all its sadness and pain. You fall in love with those who appear to want to destroy you. And you fall in love with your own death. You die to the old separate self and live immersed in the miraculous connection of all.

To live this way is a deep meditation. I’m not for one second saying it’s easy. It is life lived as a meditation. There will be good days and bad days. You have to want to be free of all that isn’t true. This is the first step: to desire to be free of what is not true for you. Next comes the desire for all humans to be free of what isn’t true.

And yet, once you have tasted the delicious possibility of freedom, there is no longer any choice. Surrender into the flow of the unknown, the unknowable is the only thing you can do.

Step by step we move on. There is no rush: we have the rest of eternity :)
