I saw an article in http://www.hebrew-mystics.com
tell me if you know anything about it..
Well, beckyfo, since you are "commanding" not asking for information about the article, I am, personally a little reluctant to give any response, but following Josh's lead [Josh being generally more socially considerate than I might be under the circumstance and because I greatly respect Josh, well, for what it's worth, I WILL tell you what I think of the article] ~ aside from knowing little to nothing about Hebrew mystics, so called, or about the doctrine of Kabballah; "Real power is a man ability to control the forces around him" ~ this statement apparently refers to a man, a singular man, so what man?
Nonetheless, I believe that is a false statement, holds NO truth whatsoever and MOST CERTAINLY NO POWER. Here is why:
In the consensus reality, there are those who live to control [control being the operative word here]. They have no idea (and don't care to know) of its devastation. They don't care to know the damage that it can do, the successes it can sabotage, the hopes it can dash, the dreams it can destroy. They don't want to have anything to do with looking at how it fuels and fosters so much of the denial and the resistance they have. They don't want to know how much it is a consistent answer and response to fear and crisis in a world where you're not supposed to have those kinds of fears. I, personally, would HAVE to consider this article to be hogwash not worth the paper wasted to print it upon.
Not last and not least, control kills love. It absolutely does. Control is fear about love, essentially. "This is where I never could get love, or where I could lose love, or where I cannot respond to love." THEN there is control ~ there is fear around love.
An appropriate response to THAT may be: "I can understand that you are afraid of having, losing, or responding to love, but the way you're handling that doesn't work for me. So, either you change, or I'm out of here. I understand that when you try to CONTROL ME, you're just trying to be safe. But your safety is lethal. I won't play. I cannot, out of any respect for myself, play in this arena with you."
And THAT, I would consider real power; being in charge of YOUR reality according to YOUR design, not that of any other. So, do you back away from control or plunge headlong into love? I would say "the secret" ~ apparently gotta' have that secret, uggg, is be the Spiritual Fool. Plunge headlong into love.
