Q’uote of the Day
November 21st, 2009
Well todays quote pretty much answers that question above…
"When one is attempting to live the Law of One…one is attempting to live a fully human, fully balanced life, one that values both wisdom and love, not valuing one over the other but looking always for that point of balance whereby the decisions that are made in ethical choice points are those decisions that enlarge and enhance unconditional love. "
Oh is there a call for more, I hear? Am I imagining it or not… well lets continue regardless 
"To enter into the question of the right use of power it might be helpful to consider the concept of power itself. Within your physical lives there is the simple concept of physical power: strength in the arm, the ability to manipulate tools and to saw boards or hammer nails or lift heavy objects, simple muscular power.
In the metaphysical world, these connotations remain when speaking of power. However, the hammer is the hammer of focus. The sword is the sword of intention. The weight is the weight of desire, so that metaphysical power is that ability of the focused and disciplined personality to set and keep an intention and to do work in consciousness."
Its not a straightforward metaphor but one that warrants some meditation… either way the key parts, focus, intention and desire, those words only are what matters…
An of course… this is more mixed power to refine that comes the following:
“Between these two definitions or types of power, there is a kind of power that is emotional and that has to do with one’s intention to be of service, either to the self or to others. This is not a pure or a clarified kind of power but is rather a reflection of the values which a particular society or culture finds persuasive.”
So metaphysical power… physical, worldly power, many types of power, its a neutral term. On both aspects there is further discussion on female and male energies and power in that sense too… so read more if you please. This addresses the remaining part of the starting question…
