It’s a moment of reflection, or it’s yet one more excuse for inaction and passivity. “What can we do about it all?” is a misdirected question. The actual target of that question is you. You’re asking yourself. And with your power, you can find an answer.”

To that I would add that even “What can YOU do about it all” is usually misdirected. It reflects a desire for a simple cause-and-effect, tried-and-true method to fight “them.” Better to ask, “How can I stop letting them limit my power in everyday encounters and decisions?” When you can answer that, then you get free from the analysis trap and are ready for spontaneous action, thought, and speech. You cannot predict what will happen next, but that’s what makes it exciting.

“You exercise your creative power to fulfill what you deeply desire; and that process will, in fact, spill over and affect others in a positive way. It will lift them up. It will remind them that they, too, have power.” Jon

This is exactly what Donald trump is doing. An individual who beleives in himself, who believes in his power to create a better country. And he inspires people.

The other day, someone asked him a question. The person started by saying: : I’m an avarage person… and Trump stopped him right away. He said: Start over, because you are not an avarage person, you have all the power you want to have as an individual. WOW! Trump is teaching people what you you are teaching on this site. Jon.

But people here don’t seem to want to believe that a man like Trump has power as an individual. They seem to say: Who does he think he is? Isn’t that amazing to hear this on this site?!

“In case there is any misunderstanding, the ability to help others and defend them from oppression is part and parcel of your own power. How could you help them without your power? How could you accomplish anything at all in that direction? How would denying your own power possibly result in a good outcome? And most importantly, it is through imagination that you can devise new ways to expose and reduce oppression, ways that haven’t been thought of before.” Jon

Exactly! Trump has no doubt that the American people are incredibly talented, creative and powerful individuals. He keeps saying it. He energizes his crowd and they want to get involved, and they do get involve.. Isn’t that great?

This speaks directly to self-empowerment which can only manifest at the individual level.

Quote: “Your deepest power is alive. It’s personal. It’s stunningly energetic and dynamic. It connects with your deepest understanding of what is true and good and right. But it never sacrifices itself on the altar of what others insist is good and true and right. It never deserts you for an abstract ideology someone else has devised. That ideology was formulated, in fact, to separate you from your power.”

I know this to be true from personal experience.
