We are all powerful beings, intrinsically capable of great creativity in the world. Spiritual power is not something that we can earn, or discover out there in the world. It not about money and fear and control, nor is it about techniques or secret knowledge. True power grows out of owning who we are as spiritual beings, out of manifesting and expressing our spiritual essence. The process of becoming powerful is an outgrowth of remembering who we are and then acting and creating from that essence.
As energetic beings we are like radio antennae that can both broadcast and receive. Like antennae we are tuned. An antenna is tuned by its physical dimensions and the properties of the materials that it is made of. Its tuning means that it has natural resonance frequencies, and it is most efficient when working at those frequencies. Similarly in our being we are tuned to certain frequencies, frequencies that arise out of who we are as spiritual beings. This is where our power lies.
Think of a bell. When it is struck it vibrates and emits a range of sounds. The strongest and clearest, those with the most power, are those that are natural resonances of the bell. The shape and size of the bell, and the material it is made of all affect its resonant sounds. Think of yourself as an physical and energetic entity, which has resonances, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
In broadcasting it is possible to use frequencies that are at the edges of the natural resonances of an antenna, but there will be less power there, because the antenna is less efficient. These are “off-band” vibrations, the farther from the resonance the weaker and less powerful they are. If you dampen the main frequencies, and allow only the off-band ones to radiate, they will have much less power than those at the resonance. Working off-band like this is the way we tend to live our lives.
Trying to create a life that is based on other people’s ideas or values, or from places of fear, anger, or greed, takes us out of who we are spiritually and thus away from our own power. It is a double whammy, in which we are trying to create something that won’t really resonate with us when its done, and we are doing so from a place of weakness. This results in a great deal of effort.
When we can rediscover who we are and work from there, we are able to create much more efficiently because we are broadcasting at full strength. There is no effort, we can just be who we are and let that radiate out. Here we gain also two fold. We are in our power, a place that we can enjoy and flourish in. It is nurturing to us, our natural home, and we are also able to create with ease.
Energetic beings, like antennae receive as well as broadcast. We receive most easily what we are tuned to. So if we are tuned to fear, that is what we receive, if we are tuned to joy, likewise. Being tuned far from our power, we become sensitive to energies that are not nurturing to us, that will often take us further away. This is another aspect to returning to who we are, we become more aware of the people and energies that truly nurture us, we are supported and aided by aspects of the universe that vibrate at similar frequencies. It becomes easier to find and communicate with those that match our visions of who we are and how we wish to live.
So what is your frequency, what song list do you play and listen to? Make sure that it is your song list and not someone else’s, not society’s, your partner’s, or your boss’s. Allow yourself to come back to your own center of power, which is defined inside, by who you are. Begin to work more with your feeling and intuition, which are more sensative to resonance. Thought is a powerful tool, but it tends to become complex and, by itself, is not as reliable a compass. What nurtures you?, not the outer personality that is constructed to deal with society, but the inner you that is of spirit. What is coherent with your dreams?, as opposed to what is not. This knowledge comes from feeling and being, allowing your body and soul to check the relative tuning. Is it a resonance, or does it clash?
Find your internal compass back to yourself and your power. Learn how to tune your worldly self, your bell, your antenna, to your spiritual frequency. Begin to send and receive from a place of resonance, of power. The power of being, rather than that of reaction and control.
Welcome home.
