On "Power"...Giving it...Getting it....

Somebody said something to me recently about "Giving away your power..".... And it somehow stayed with me somehow.... So here's the thing about power from my point of view... Power is a state of consciousness....An "Essence" really.. Hence, One simply CANNOT GIVE it away.......... Having said that, it would seem that we can easily SHIRK our power, giving off the ILLUSION of handing it over to someone else... For Power, in and of itself, is either THERE, (in our DNA), or it's NOT.. POWER is a TRAGICALLY misunderstood and MIS-HANDLED entity... If we choose to simply not APPEAR to "OWN" our power for a period of time, that is NOT to say that we've GIVEN it to someone else.. Au Contraire really... PERHAPS REAL, ORGANIC POWER is found in those PRECISE moments,, when others "THINK" that they've out-foxed us...duped us somehow... The POWER then is in ALLOWING them to "THINK" whatever they choose..
