Day 46 The STRUGGLE: Power over Others, or Power over Myself?

There is a struggle within oneself. The struggle is for power. But we incorrectly place  power over others as more important then power over ourselves. What is power over self?

Power ove Self is being able to stop what you are feeling, what you are thinking, and reacting within yourself. It is the domain of your body. That is what you have power over.

How we are currently existing as Humanity, as all people is that we don't have power over ourselves and so we seek power over others. Why? We are seeking power over others because we are not giving ourselves the power over ourselves, which is our birthright.

To exist, you have the right to have power over your self, your thoughts, what you feel, your backchat, your reactions. And if we don't stand within our birthright, we are standing outside of what is right for ourselves, so we feel wrong and inadequate and weak and we are seeking for someone else that we may either control with power or that can control us with power.

When we seek power over others, there are two ways. The obvious way is by attacking others, fighting them, resisting them, getting them to feel things, manipulating them, gossiping behind their backs, insulting them, make snide remarks, making them cry, bullying them, hurting them, and even killing them. This is how war starts. All because we didn't stand within our OWN power, the power over Self, which is individual, and doesn't belong to anyone else.

The other, less obvious, way that we seek power over others, is actually to not have any power, but to be directed by others, to be the victim, to let someone else tell you who you are, how to be, which includes insulting you, gossiping about you, lying to you, bullying you and hurting you. You BELIEVE what they say. That is actually a way you seek to have power over others. It's odd, yes. But its true, only because we are doing it and those are our two choices. Sometimes people do this and be the victim because they REFUSE to be the bully or aggressor and they don't KNOW how to stand within their power yet. This is partially because no one is there to show them the way. I will do my best to show the way today.

So those are the possibilities. How do you live power over yourself? What does that entail? What does that require of you?
It requires that when you have a thought that you stop it. This thought being something that is like an outside voice. It will also include all the gossiping, insulting, and demeaning thoughts within you. Basically, every single time you have ever allowed yourself to react and feel something to what someone said to you, like an insult or them being a bully, or gossiper, that is something you still carry within you and they will form your thoughts. Your mind will repeat them to you, UNTIL you finally stop it and so stand within your OWN power. This power, again, is not about others or changing them. It's not about standing UP to others. It's about standing UP within your own power and stopping all that is harmful, fearful, aggressive, destructive within you, within the space that is you that you are existing here within your body.

Now, standing within your own power will require you to be able to stop the same thoughts, the same emotions, the same energies that you feel, like fear, in the very moments you face the people you have reacted to, which can include when people are reacting with FURY and being Furious and directing it at you, and when people are Annoying, or gossiping or anything else where you are FEELING something about it. What I am saying here is that stopping your thoughts alone is not enough, you actually need to be able to stand within your power in every situation, including actually facing the situations that you initially reacted to, where you will be able to face a screaming and angry person and not a single inch or iota of you will move WITHIN YOU, and IF it does move, then you IMMEDIATELY stop it from moving. So you are constantly stopping any movement, which can include fear for example. This is what it means to have power over you. And it has nothing to do with the other person, because you CAN and DO have power over you to stop what you are feeling in the moment. Even in the face of yelling, bullying, threats, gossip etc...

Standing within our own power, EACH of us, THAT is our birthright, that is who we are supposed to be, and we can ALL be that. Standing in that shoes and in ourselves like that, means we put an end to all war, all victimization, all attacks, all gossip and all bullying. That is what it means to stand within our own power, the power of and over self. Because the secret is that we all feel powerless. We all lack power. We feel it. And so this is the solution, this is how you LIVE power.

If you don't apply this, if you don't live power, what will happen is this cycle which we have been living for eons. You will be a victim, someone will say or do something, then you will use that as a justification to do the same unto them or someone else that is like them. This other person will feel the same way as you did, a victim, and they will do the same as you and the first person did, to take vengeance, and harm another, with Justice!

So if you want real justice, take a look in the mirror, and take responsibility for yourself. You can end the cycle of war and abuse. Once and for all.

Plus, at the end of this, you will have REAL power, you will actually have Power over and of yourself. You will be able to create yourself and create Life. Don't you want that?
