How do you define power?

Posted on Oct 25th, 2009 by RLtruthseeker-artist : Integral Mysticism RLtruthseeker-artist
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 24, 2009:

Ghandi
               True power is meaning. True power is different and distinguishable from force. The hammer of force is nothing without the meaning that gives rise to those actions. True power is instead like a standing gravitational field that silently encompasses all within its domain. And there are those with a stronger meaning that have stood up against those who would use force and people for their own ends. Force uses glamour, and the rhetoric of hate to spread its message, while true power remains immune, and survives through its acquisition. True power, then, is based on truth.

         “When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fail. Think of this always. – Mahatmas Ghandi
