Consider Power.
As you consider, examine your emotions.
Power can be strong, yet there is fear.
Power requires emotion to motivate.
Power reaches, yet there are limits to that reach.
What puts limits on power’s reach?
Power is not a thing to be amassed.
It is not an office to be pursued.
Power is not money.
Power is not armaments.
Power is not position.
Power lies not in the one that would use power.
You cannot bribe one who cares not for money.
You cannot threaten one who is not afraid to die.
You cannot hold office forever, if the people remember they put you there.
All of the power that anyone would ever use to control, influence, or seduce you, lies in your experience of your own needs.
The source of all power is some form of need.
The depth of the power is the depth of the need.
Power targets choice.
Choice resides in your mind.
Choice never goes away, though the power attempts to take it from you.
Although the mechanisms of power may appear outside you, that power only exists in your mind.
Power, exerted over others, is experienced within their mind as control, influence or seduction.
Power attempts to control, influence, or seduce your choice by creating an emotional response within your mind.
If you can see past that emotion, you are free from the power and choice remains.
There is always Choice.
