What Does Power Mean to You?

http://www.abundance-and-happiness.com

Everyone has their own definition of what Power means to them. I’ve always questioned it, and sort of knew inside what it meant to me. But when I read this part of the book, talking about the True, Ultimate Power of Human Beings, I felt the emotions overflow within me. I couldn’t agree more with each and every word described here… For some people, power is money, success & material gains, but it is a superficial power, which is far from the truth of what True Power really is…

Read it over a few times if you have to, this realization is extremely empowering and awakening your soul to it’s true purpose on this planet…

This conversation takes place between Dylan & Nikki, while they’re on their way to visit Springdale side of Zion – a beautiful place, where Narrows end and uninterrupted panoramic views are all around you – Page 269

{ “God’s glory is everywhere when you open your eyes, isn’t it?” she stated while inhaling deeply, breathing the majesty of the scenery into her soul. “These walls are a living trinity of Power, Wisdom, and Love made manifest in the material world to me. I like to come here to remind myself that even though I may seem small individually, I am part of something infinitely larger and infinitely more splendid. It’s like I can feel myself filling up with the nobility of the place. Can you feel it too?” she asked, turning her head to face him.

Nikki seemed such a mixture of uninhibited, childlike joy and ageless wisdom that he found himself in awe of her. She was old and young at the same time; she danced with the sun and blessed the moon; she sang to nature and loved all creatures, great and small. She played in the earth’s waters and sang to the flowers, enveloping everything that came within her presence in a welcome embrace of love and nurturing. Nikki didn’t seem to study or analyze God; she merely seemed dazzled by God – awestruck by the union of atoms that give structure to nature. She spoke of the ability to expose forces by recognizing them, of individuality within unity, of the innumerable within the finite. Nikki was this same Power, this Intelligence, this Wisdom, this Love that she reflected upon in her surroundings. Every act, every word, every deed that came from her mirrored their perfect union. No somberness or any sense of preaching accompanied her expression of her beliefs: rather, one felt only a sense of her willingness to share her soul. She seemed to have an overflowing well of love that had to, by its very existence, find objects and people upon which to lavish itself.

“You used the word ‘Power,’” said Dylan, reaching for her hand. “What does ‘Power’ mean to you?”
Nikki paused, searching his eyes to determine the sincerity of his question. 
“To me, Power is the very breath of God’s Intelligence that animates all things, an energy, a pulsing, vibrating light that can be shaped into anything upon which the attention is held. It can be utilized to create beauty and perfection, but it can also be abused. I think it takes the other two parts of the formula – Wisdom and Love – to create the right balance in the use of that limitless energy.”

“I believe we go through this school of life until we learn to manage that Power constructively, until through our co-creative powers, we learn how to create with Wisdom and Love in such a way that with every thought, feeling, word, and action, we bless the whole. I think it’s been the selfish concept of exclusivity that’s held us from all we truly are and can be.
“When you chose the Power of Unity over the power of exclusivity and destruction in the ending of Little Crow {the movie that Dylan just finished shooting}, you set forth a vibration that will affect every single person who hears and sees the act of the principle. There is never a word, whether spoken, written, or sung, that does not go forth and affect and alter the course of people’s lives that receive it. Words with intent have Power! You use this Power among the masses through your work and have a responsibility with that Power to bless, heal, illuminate, and enlighten the millions of souls who watch or hear your creative act. If you abuse this Power by presenting material that does not lift the consciousness of man, you’re also responsible for its consequences. The part you chose to play in this lifetime will force you to choose between your Real, Higher Self and your Ego.” }

It’s it just beautiful? To know that our ultimate power lies in the simplest of things. To learn how to manage and take responsibility for our thoughts, words and actions. To spread love, wisdom and intelligence to all that we come into contact with. That is what Power Means to Me. =)

How about you?
