             RI-918i  'Spiritual Power defined correctly'


from Ambassador for Mankind


Message # RI-918i for Internet



Personal spiritual Power is mainly based on this:


        If you want to be sane and
        if you want to become spiritually able,
         then you will have to duplicate willingly and knowingly
           any communication that comes your way -
             without losing your own viewpoint and
             while duplicating the viewpoints of others.


(Taken from RI-917i, of 3 Aug 1997)




The correct definition of Power in a group:


        'Being in, or creating, a position of Power
          is
           finding out or knowing or being informed
            what people's different goals
             and various desired activities are,
           and
           helping them and organizing them
            so that they all can pursue
             their various goals and
             their different activities.'


        The more you are able to do this,
         the more you are in Power.

        The more you violate this principle,
         the faster you will lose your Power, or
          never achieve it in the first place.


        All the other definitions of "Power"
         are
         shortcuts
          which all involve and all are based on
           betraying - in one way or the other -
            the desire of people to contribute,
          and are all intelligent and camouflaged betrayals
            of the agreements made with people's desires
             to contribute and get contribution in return.

Spiritual Power is further based on sanity:


        Sanity
         is a state of constantly
          evaluating
                your own behavior,
                 and
                your own intentions,
             and
                the behavior of others,
                 and
                the intentions of others,
           towards survival for all.
