You Have Two Power Sources

Updated: Jan 28

We go into a major state of anxiety and panic when our smartphone is low on power and our phone charger won't work. The same is true for our life. But what if you could find that you have two power sources available to you, and that they might be the answer to all of your problems?


The first major stage of the spiritual path, which is the path to Real Personal Power (if you are still stuck in your petrified 'victim-claiming' ego mode then you are not yet ready for this), is to accept your powerlessness on your own and to nurture connection, and the second stage is to plug into the light.


For this you need two things: The power of connection; and the power of the spiritual experience...


100% power


The power of connection

Your best thinking got you here. Albert Einstein, the greatest scientist of all time, who was also a spiritual Master (which was the source of his true inspiration and genius) wrote "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them".


To connect with others we have to stop judging ourselves, which allows and creates enough space inside us (through daily ego deflation) to connect with others and with our true Selves (our Higher Power), God, or love (whatever name you want to ascribe to the all-powerful awe-inspiring Universe.


This authentic, vulnerable, open, honest, and willing connection with others, from a place of unconditional love, is half the power that you will need to gain Real Personal Power. But what about the other half?


The power of the spiritual experience

This is where we plug into the light. A lamp must be plugged into a power source and switched on for it to shine. Just being a lamp isn't enough. You need to plug into the National Grid: This is the 'spiritual experience'.


A spiritual experience is a sudden change in your character. This is a personality change that is sufficient to bring about recovery from the human condition of spiritual and mental dis-ease: This manifests in different forms. Whereas a spiritual experience must be in the nature of a sudden and spectacular upheaval in your personality change, a spiritual awakening is a slower, stepwise, more progressive change in character, and is sometimes called the "educational variety", because it develops more slowly over time. This slower rate of progress may be due to our tendency to over-intellectualise, rather than submitting to our heart as our source of Truth with a capital 'T'.


A spiritual experience is an immediate, overwhelming, and spectacular "God-consciousness" followed at once by a vast change in feeling and outlook. Such transformations, though frequent, are by no means the rule. Most of our experiences are what the brilliant American psychologist William James called the "educational variety". Quite often friends of the person undergoing transformation are aware of the difference long before he is himself. He finally realises that he has undergone a profound alteration in his reaction to life; that such a change could hardly have been brought about by himself alone. What often takes place in a few months could seldom have been accomplished by years of self-discipline. For this you will need a guide, an Enlightened Witness, a Transformative Life Coach, or a sponsor, which are all essentially the same thing: Someone who has walked your path, who is ready to guide you.


With few exceptions, spiritual seekers find that they have tapped an unsuspected inner resource which they presently identify with their own conception of a power greater than themselves. Most of us think this awareness of a power greater than ourselves is the essence of the spiritual experience. Some call it “God-consciousness.” I call it 'invoking your God-mode'.


Most emphatically, anyone capable of honestly facing his problems in the light of experience can recover, provided he does not close his mind to all spiritual concepts. He can only be defeated by an atheistic, primitive attitude of intolerance or belligerent denial.


Willingness, vulnerability, honesty and open-mindedness are the essentials of recovery: These are indispensable.


Herbert Spencer, in Appendix II of the 12 step 'Big Book' wrote “There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation.”


Are you ready to plug into the light? Then it's time to drop your ego, stop judging yourself and others, accept your powerlessness, connect authentically, surrender, and open to the above spiritual experiences. This approach, advocated by the greatest psychologist of all time and spiritual Master, Carl Jung, borrows from spirituality, positive psychology, medicine, psychiatry, philosophy, and timeless Truths: This is the basis of Transformative Life Coaching (TLC). Do you need some TLC? Your anxiety, fear, and despair will slip away, as will your compulsive, obsessive negative thinking. Trust me, I have walked this path. It is no less than a 'Hero's Journey.'


Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you: Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you.


George Bernard Shaw wrote that “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” Are you ready to change your mind?


Namaste.


Sending you love, light, and blessings brothers.
