Feeling Powerlessness

Power often stands as a mystery - a misunderstood phenomenon. We often think power means 'power over' - which really amounts to manipulation or intimidation or coercion or outright brute force.

True power has nothing to do with anything outside yourself. It comes from within. How it's expressed, well, that's a completely different issue.

If you want to become more powerful, it's a fairly simple and straightforward process. It involves doing something in the privacy of your own home. With your eyes closed.

Before I tell you the easiest and quickest way to become more powerful, I must warn you. No, not that you'll become TOO powerful! That's not possible.

No, the danger is you'll dismiss what I'm saying without giving it an honest try. Because it runs contrary to everything you've ever been taught and conditioned to believe. That's the danger: that you won't give it an honest try.

There's various ways you can become powerful. Power comes from thinking and feeling. The better you think; the better you feel; the more powerful you become. Absolutely. 100% of the time. Because of the raw, virgin energy that's constantly and continuously flowing into you every moment of every second of every minute of every day.

This raw energy becomes the thoughts you think and the feelings you feel. When everything works as it's designed - when everything's in sync - you live your power.

When you really understand that... you can have all the power you want. But those are just empty words right now. So let me tell you the secret to becoming more powerful - quickly and easily.

Promise not to laugh? Okay, here it is:

You must feel your own feelings of powerlessness. Feel them as cleanly, as strongly, as focused as you can. That's it.

You promised not to laugh, remember?

If you feel your powerlessness, something magical happens. The powerlessness goes away! See, it's not a matter of doing something to become more powerful. You have an endless stream of energy flowing into you all the time. You have access to ALL the power you could possibly ever stand. And then some.

So it's not a matter of BECOMING powerful. Rather, it's a matter of STOPPING becoming less powerful. Let go of the powerlessness and you will automatically become more powerful. You will.

The problem is, it can be difficult - seemingly impossible - to cleanly and honestly feel your own feelings of powerlessness. Try it. You'll see. It takes practice and effort and careful focus. Hey, if it were easy, we'd all be powerful already!

It takes spiritual muscle to feel your own powerlessness.

I don't know any other way to say it. Most people wouldn't do it to save their lives. So they'll die powerless.

If you don't feel your own powerlessness, you'll never let it go. Just like every other feeling in the world. You must bring the feelings closer. Stop dancing around them. Stop interpreting them. Feel them cleanly. In your body.

The reason it's so difficult to feel our own powerlessness lies with our resistance to just 'letting go'. We have a natural tendency to fight back, rather than cleanly feel our powerlessness. We 'tense up'. Maybe not physically (although it could be that way too) but certainly mentally and even emotionally.

The urge to fight back, to defend ourselves, often overrides the efforts to let go into the feelings of powerlessness. Blame often stands in the way of feeling powerlessness. As well as righteousness. And of course pity and martyr and victimhood also distract us.

But if you cleanly feel your powerlessness one time - just one good time - then you'll start seeking it out from then on. Because you can INSTANTLY feel more powerful. Every time you do it.

Powerlessness may be the most difficult feeling of all to just experience. To let it absorb cleanly into the body. To stop denying it and embrace it instead. It seems we have more resistance to feeling it than any other feeling.

But while feeling ANY feeling cleanly - bringing it into your body instead of spinning it around in your head - will make you at least a little more powerful, when you truly let your powerlessness into your gut, the results seem to be in a class of their own.

You'll never know if you don't try.
