Power.

Friends this time we will talk some more about power and
how to achieve it. Yes it is power we talk of but perhaps not the
power you think it is. There are many types of power, the power
of speech, the power of the ruler, the power of electricity; yes
many types of power, the power of evil, the power of God, many
types of power. The power we talk of is the power that is for
humankind, the power to get back to God and all that
encompasses.

There are many aspects to this power and perhaps if you

should he confuse this with any other power? This is a particularly
important question for the answer is simply that he shouldn't. The
power that the human must concentrate on is that which is for
him to use. This is a very uninteresting power in that it is only to
be used on oneself and only over ones self. It cannot be used to the
good over others, as that would be inflicting your will on them. It
cannot be used for the good over others for they have their own
power that is particular to themselves and for you to use your
power over them is also judging them not to have any ability of
their own, nor the ability to use it in their own way. You will see in
this latter statement that the ability to use the power you have is
strictly confined to your self unless it is your wish to go outside
