You may be wondering why the concept of power is so important to your own personal spiritual path. Power, you see, is what your conscious mind, as well as all others, is always seeking. Each of our conscious minds performs a basic function of decision-making. As stated above, each of our minds constantly seeks power. What we deem as power comes from our own personal rules of life. Even though they are our own rules, in all likelihood, they have probably been influenced and colored by our past and our cultural/parental up bringing.

The one constant decision that our mind makes is where to focus our attention. And where we focus our attention is based on our concept of power. If a person’s rule of life deems that power is eternal in the accumulation of material items, including money, then they will focus the majority of their life on achieving this power.

Along with this teaching, be aware that the mind is viewed symbolically as the moon while the heart is the sun. The moon with no intrinsic light of it’s own can only mirror the light of our own personal sun or our heart. One step further, our body is metaphorically our earth.

Armed with this spiritual knowledge, what does this reveal about your own self and others?

At the present time in our patriarchal ruled society, power is perceived as external, materialistic and youthful—all a marketers dream come true. Humankind, or in the vernacular of our patriarchal culture, secular as well as religious, mankind, has rightful stewardship or power over nature. No wonder that the earth is being raped. Isn’t the earth viewed as female? See my drift.

Where do you see your power? Where are you focusing your attention? Are you happy with your two answers? If not, do not distress, you have the POWER to change and to transform your life. The choice is yours.
