Power, Service, Attainment, Spirit

You must decide whether or not to use your power. As long as you can continue to see yourself as somehow separated from the source, then your power will continue to remain dormant. When you recognize that you are a co-creator with spirit and that you have to potential to utilize the entire creative power of God then you will realize and accept how powerful you truly are. The important thing is to make sure that your desire for power is in order to serve the spiritual needs of other living beings and not just your own senses. If you judge success to be your own attainment of wealth and material power then true spiritual power will be withheld from you in order to protect you. Therefore, the next step in utilizing your power (after first accepting your eternal connection with spirit) is to dedicate your life to the service of the divine plan. When you make this shift in consciousness then you will be provided with all power necessary to attain the highest level of joy. This level of love and bliss can never be obtained by focusing on the desires of your own ego, no matter how successful you may be in attaining them. Rather true joy is only possible when one is totally immersed in his or her natural position as servant to the universal plan for the enlightenment of the world.
