The only way to become authentically powerful is to create authentic power. You cannot wish, want, or command authentic power into your life, although you can try.

What is behind your eyes holds more power than what is in front of them.

When you have an emotional reaction to what you see, you are judging. That is your signal that you have an issue inside of yourself - with yourself - not with the other person. If you react to evil, look inside yourself for the very thing that so agitates you, and you will find it. If it were not there, you will simply discern, act appropriately, and move on.

Change in yourself what you want to change in the world.

What is in one is in the whole, and therefore, ultimately, Each soul is responsible for the whole world.

Spiritual growth requires the development of inner knowing and inner authority. It requires the heart, not the intellect.

When someone new comes into your life and suddenly you feel more alive, more beautiful, more sexual, more creative, more desirable and more engaged; you feel that this new person is the key to those feelings. But actually, you have these qualities too. What you don't see and don't acknowledge in yourself, you project onto someone else. Carl Jung explored this very well. He called it projection.
