birth being surrendered into the temporary care of the parents
               and  hopefully  returned  at  the  initiation  at  approx  fourteen
               years old, and here again at twenty one we see the newfound
               power being relinquished into the use of the service providers
               in return for the loan of their financial reserves. This power is
               seldom returned as the giver often doesn’t realise the power
               they have to give away. Because of the educational system, or
               as we prefer to see it as the conditioning of the system, few
               people  in  the  population  of  the  Western  world  realise  what
               this power really is and how much it means to them. This is
               essentially the reserves they carry which enable them to fully
               achieve the goals they went to that world to experience. This
               power is the power, that when it is passed to others, leaves the
               giver powerless. “The only power another has over you is the
               power  that  you  have  given  to  them”.  Please  remember  this
               and  when  you  encounter  a  situation  where  this  applies  take
               back your power. Another telling you that you “HAVE TO” is
               indicative  of  them  feeling  they  have  the  power  to  tell  you
               what  you  must  or  must  not  do,  and  that  is  your  power  that
               they feel they have. Should you choose not to oblige them, or
               at  least  recognise  you  have  the  choice  whether  to  or  not  is
               significant of you reclaiming or exercising your own power.
               There  are  many  occasions  where  the  social  ‘norm’  is  the
               expectation that you will always conform to societies wishes.
               This  is  because  of  the  psychological  manipulation  of  the
               social and religious systems in place in your society and that
               requires  you to be of service to the institutions that  seek  to
               control your life and indeed your destiny, all to their benefit.
               Society is ego based and controls you through your ego. You
               feel fear through your ego and society offers you protection
               from that fear. That fear is generated by society and is often
