The power of weakness may sound like a contradictory statement but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t accurate because it points at a fundamental aspect of incarnating into this realm where we insert our Souls as credits to wear the flesh that allow one to interact with the peaks and valleys of this dimension. Imagine, for a moment, that you were playing Hide and Seek with your greatest strengths. Where do you think they’d pick to remain tucked outside of your vision as you set off in a quest to find them? Thats right, behind your fears. That is why I said I what I said in the opening statement so why not take a moment, maybe grad a pad and pen, and jot down a few that float into your awareness so we can reference them as we progress.
Take a look at what you’ve written and pick one. From this start free associating any links you can imagine to events, your various coping mechanisms, how life would feel without this obstacle and, most importantly, what you sense is missing due to its presence.
I want you to start looking at this aspect not as a foe, enemy or blockage. Instead consider it via the framework of Hide and Seek I previously mentioned and realize it is your friend. The best way to imagine this is to pretend you were born a multimillionaire so your resources are endless. Somehow, along the way, you lost the debit card for this main account and ended up with a meager sustenance instead. The aim of the Path of Power is to get back into that state of coherence that exists between power and weakness and thus is totally balanced. I call this place being Centered in Self and once one gets here then miracles can happen. Truly, from my lens, only when this clicks can life truly unfold as intended because otherwise we aren’t playing with a full deck and this builds an immense dependence on external things which can only further strengthen yourself to solidify their position.
To find enlightenment one must be willing to wander into the darkness and this brings a set of sensations that one can either interpret as fear and run into the distance or recode the signal as exhilaration instead because its dropping hints that you’re chipping away at your inherited ignorance the resistance this brings. Know that the body and mind in many people are so totally alienated and disconnected that they may as well be speaking two totally different languages hence its important for one who begins this foray into previously uncharted realms to remain as Centered in Self as possible. Sitting up, erect, with your spine vertical and taking in deep breaths with an extended exhale via your lips is of huge benefit as the exchange of oxygen is not only our primary relationship that links outside and within. It is also the bridge we build that links our awareness to the present moment so it helps to make this a living practice that you unfold, everywhen. The results of this shift alone can be quite magical.
Taking the earlier bank account reference and flipping its image I’d like you to pretend that the abundance I mentioned is akin to a hosepipe that flows, freely, with an endless supply of luminance and radiance. You knew this state well, back when, which is why I call it Inner Sense. Somehow, through lifes trials and tribulations, you gained some kinks in this creation that lead to resistance. The astute Warrior in training would’ve clicked where I’m going with this as we must seek what is hidden behind the blockage by first being willing to face them. Listen, for over 81% of the planet the very concept of this would fill them with angst and dread as they think they are incapable of accepting this challenge and thus are defeated before they begin. This statement alone proves what I mean about living in a state of Adulteration as the baby who learned to crawl, walk then run did not acquiesce to these illusory threats as they had that golden glow flowing, as intended, to assist in their actualization of Self. In many ways people are prisoners of their own ignorance and are more than discontent to eke out a low level existence as they fret about the checks and balances that are represented via their flexible friend which is totally cut off from their true source of riches and its natural abundance.
In order to escape this realization the race will do all kinds of foolish things. Why? Because that is what they were instructed by those around them and various limbs of the System which seem to function as an immense illusion that profits handsomely from your suffering as it pulls a false world down over your lids. Another way to comprehend the scale of what is happening is to think that all the people who stepped into the Game with limitless riches and chose to live and die without claiming them left their inheritance to the state which is more than content to cash in and gratuitously accepts your donation whilst, at the same time, offering you myths, symbols and images instead that can only ever scratch the surface because your greatest strengths are within but hidden underneath layers upon layers of conditioning. This is why there are loads of people who dream of making it rich, having clout and folks following them and yet, in my experience, very, very few of them are actually anywhere near content and many of them truly don’t feel very different to when they were first struggling. On the flip I can attest that those who take some time out to do the Knowledge develop a type of radiance that not only they themselves but people all around them find very, very attractive as there are dim embers within that start flickering in the presence of embodied Inner Sense. Getting back to the list:
Taking your pad and pen and one of those aspects split it into two. The harmful aspect and the immediate benefit. The former is usually long term and often hidden with a layer of cognitive dissonance which says “I know its not good but I do like it so I’m willing to take the risk in order to gain a little slice of happiness”. Do you see why so many folks are so hopelessly enmired in this way of Thunking that to suggest anything different has them running for the hills, screaming, “Nope! Not for me. I’m perfectly content as I am, thanks!”. Except they’re not. I’ve spoken to countless people like this that simply could not see the schism in their thoughts and actions because they were often at cross purposes to their intent. There were loads more who thought someone else would swoop in and save them or fix everything and that never, ever happens. On the flip there were a handful that got what I meant when I said the Game plays out inside their consciousness and they only ever interact with figments of their imagination that can teach them more about Self. After all, how else would you explain that ten people can meet one man and draw radically different impressions based on his presence?
Push the pen, ask the child within and various other fragments, what it enjoys and gains from its coping mechanisms. Then flip the script and think “How would my life be without this blockage? What would I do different if I didn’t have to do this? What new vistas would spring instead of me constantly stepping around a well worn groove in my awareness that only ever loops back upon itself and never seems to take me elsewhen to the place I truly wish to visit?”. Congratulations, you have just taken an immense step on the Path toward becoming authentic. If you read back these notes you may notice there are differing sensations in your flesh and present moment incarnation that manifest as shifts in tone, drives and whims as the one which rushes towards the habit often has a counterswing that is actually screaming for your attention to look back at a past event that left the child within whimpering. Dreams play an important role in this as well as happenstance and “coincidence” as many Warriors in training have commented about the strangest events, chance meetings and flashes of inspiration that kicked after they rose from bed and had seen some things that set off chain reactions in their head due to what their chest was finally sharing. Keep a note of these as well. Some of the links and statements only become Self evident when seen from a higher vantage that comes with your involution as the circle that was previously vicious is liberated into a spiral instead and you ascend to your natural phase of resonance from which you dipped, way back when.
One quick note, this requires a pad an pen as we are activating long dormant parts of your nervous system and the colored inks play their role as well.
Another way you can do this is by making smarter decisions instead of falling back into old habits. If you get up, every day, and start doomscrolling before you’ve done anything productive and then, at the end of the night, kick yourself for another twenty four you’ve wasted then turn off your phone before bed and place it on the other side of your home instead. Now you have created a space and nature abhors a vacuum so step into this realm of potential with the intent of Self actualization and get on the grind instead. You can apply this framework to anything you wish as its built upon interrupting a Pattern that leads most meat puppets to living Click-Whirr existences that are fully on autopilot and controlled via their (false) self. In effect you are wrestling back the control of your life from an imposter and once this clicks (and you’ve overcome the resistance) its actually very, very entertaining as you sense the “Aha!” moment in full effect and this can only increase your liberation as you start to face the resistance which, due to its very nature, needs a heady mix of constant reinforcement along with willful ignorance to keep you locked into the life cycle of limited spending when your true state is abundance.
Basically, in a nutshell, if you change what controls you the flip also happens and if you leave that gap on autopilot your Adulteration will take control back again and dissuade any steps along the Path of Power because, for it, your claiming of your inheritance signals the end for it. Not only this but the System and its various agents do not like its denizens to attempt to seek liberation from its grips because there are vested interests that know fine well what I’ve said is entirely accurate and they want to lay claim to what you ignore in order to increase their own strength. Seeing it as a Game, which it is, greatly defuses the fearful elements as you click there are first sensations within (that I call innerG) to which you then ascribe labels, associations and a narrative which is fueled by the voice in your head and its constant suggestions. Newsflash:
You aren’t it. How can you be when you are obviously that which is listening? Check out the concept of the Rolodex for more details about what I mentioned and remain non reactive, Centered in Self (breathing helps), then thank its for its suggestions as you reply “I know where that road ends and think I’ll try something different“. You’ll be surprised what can happen as people have reported long standing conflicts with others just rapidly ended and came to a resolution as well as countless opportunities materializing in front of them as well as huge shifts in their health. Actually, one of the most powerful ways of exerting your freedom in that respect is changing what you eat because the link between “Food” and “Mood” is quite big and one of our most basic habits but that would need a whole nother thread as this is but a basic introduction to one of the elementary concepts about the Path you create by walking.
Till we meet again
