Power, Truth, Respect

Most people equate power to the ability to dominate and control others. This is what you see reflected in the so-called leaders of today’s world. However, this must be recognized as the use of force, not genuine power. Real power can only come from acting in truth, whereas force relies on lies and deception. Truth must accept that each and every living being has an equal right to live and exist on this planet. One who knows the truth will see the spiritual connection that you have with all other living beings. When you see the sameness and equality of all souls, then you can respect and honor the differences that exist in terms of physical and mental makeup. The differences are wonderful when respect and acceptance is there instead of fear and hate. True respect for others means to honor their divinity within that makes you eternally connected to them even if their physical characteristics are not attractive to you. When you live in this truth then you will actually have the power to influence others in a positive manner and without need to resort to force. The power to uplift and inspire others is the greatest use of power there is. Never be afraid to use your personal power to enhance the lives of others. Never be afraid of the genuine power you have. The world needs powerful people to balance out the stranglehold on people’s minds that is currently held by those who love power but only know how to wield force. You have the power to counteract them and completely change the direction of the world, but only if you use the power of truth to create the personal power that is meant to be used for the benefit of every living being.
