The greatest power is allowing your own power to empower others.
This return to Chicago is a tremendous lesson about my own power and my life path. jedi guerilla healing agent of bliss! check yes in the career box.
krishnamurti says, "Only the mind which has no walls, no foothold, no barrier, no resting place, which is moving completely with life, timelessly pushing on, exploring, exploding- only such a mind can be happy, eternally new, because it is creative in itself."
If we are always present with this mind, a mind not monadic but naturally open to confrontation, risk, and collective consciousness, rather than being inscribed in our patterns/pre-conceptions/memories, we will re-generate in symbiosis with the unceasing-every-moment regeneration of the universe.
Power is believing in every word you say, acting genuinely in every social interaction.
It's also about vulnerability, accepting criticism without fighting back. It's a tremendous power to be able to cry in front of strangers, even more to cry in front of friends.
It is really easy for me to be powerful right now. I am fire and light. I am a little fearful that when I return to the west coast amidst so many experienced gypsy light travelers, I will again feel anxious and uncertain of my self. I'm grateful to this time in Chicago for teaching me that such a fear is unnecessary and will be overcome.
Power is knowing that the universe will always take care of you, and so you don't always need to know the answers or feel that womb of security. The power of Christ is his surrender. Power is faith and trust. Knowing that you are an awesome cook but allowing somebody else to spice the curry their own way.
Power conjoins the ordinariness of daily life with the sublime.
I invite power into our lives!
