The Power to Change

What would you do if you have superpowers?  It's a fantasy that most of us have indulged at one time or another.  However, the reality is that none of us will ever need to follow through those fantasies.  And the consequences of those superpowers will never leave the confine of our imagination.

A more relevant question would be:  How would your power defines you?  All of us makes decisions, and those decisions have consequences.  Whatever type of power a person has, it amplifies those consequences and it exposes the person holding the power.  A person with superpower is a person living under a magnifying glass.

The movie Chronicle examines this question.  And it does a nice job of showing how power reflects the person that wields it.

Fortunately having superpower is not a prerequisite to know a person.  Each and everyone of us has certain amount power within the confine of our own world.  Some are power over others and some are over ourselves.  These powers maybe not superpowers, but they are enough to be revealing to others.

The power to choose is the power to either (1) reinforces our true nature or (2) denies our true nature.   The choices we make are from only one of two places:  they are either love-based or fear-based decisions.  Because the true nature of human beings is Love, only choices that reinforces our true nature are acceptable to our souls.

Ultimately all choices made in denial of our true nature will be recognized as such by us.  These choices will be offered to us over and over again until the time when we choose to make them in accordance to our true nature. No choice is ever "right" or "wrong", of course.  But the choices that denies our true nature would never sit well with us for long.  Human beings will find a way to correct all fear-based decisions and transform them to love-based ones. This process may take a whole lifetime or it may take 100 lifetimes.  There is no time limit.  

How I arrived at the above conclusion is not only from abstraction.  I have many personal fear-based experiences...some of which have been corrected to love-based ones and some are still in the process of being transformed.  And of course, I am still making fear-based decisions on a daily basis.  The big difference, however, is that now I KNOW they will all be corrected eventually.
