On Power and Illusion - Where is Life? 

ART by Marlen Vargas Del Razo

When a person looks at others and the world in terms of 'power', any perceived 'power' will be seen as a 'threat' - this is only showing that a person is obsessed by ideas of 'power' and has trapped itself within the polarity construct of 'superiority'-'inferiority'.

This can also been seen as the polarity construct of 'fear' & the 'desire for power'.

Clearly, this is not the 'realm' within and as which life is here. 

Life is life - life is equal. life not about 'power'. 

So the question for self to ask self is:

what am I fearing?

what do I fear losing?

what do I perceive as power?

what am I fighting for?

what would mean to 'win'?

what would mean to 'lose'?

Already through posing these questions, a person that has worked with the tools of self-honesty is able to see: none of that is real.

So the next question would be:

Why am I preoccupying myself fighting against invisible enemies like Don Quixote - instead of grounding myself here with what is real; instead of working on discovering what it is that actually matters, here, in/as this one reality we all share.

Many 'expressions' in/of this world are unacceptable: rape, mutilation, animals skinned alive, and the list is long. Much of the abuse going on in this world is accepted and allowed or even 'justified' on the grounds of 'free expression' or 'tradition' or 'honor' or 'religion', when in fact it is only about exerting power onto others to feel 'better', 'stronger', 'more', 'righteous'.

Clearly, real freedom as life cannot be the freedom to harm, cannot be the freedom to abuse.

Thus, people! Careful when one is (mis)using the mind to justify the 'right' to abuse and the 'right' to be 'free' of the 'group' that is life:

One is excluding oneself from life, excluding oneself from oneself as life; and if one does not snap-out of such a state of 'mind-possession' and self-realize what one is actually busy doing or demanding, self-realize what one has become and in humility self-forgive and direct oneself to change: one is in fact abdicating oneself, one is abdicating life.

At Desteni, 'self' is seen within a context. The context is life, as who we all really are.

When this 'context' is disregarded, the abuse and atrocity that results is unimaginable, as is evident in this world by far.

Within the context of life, life is the 'most', the 'highest' one can be.

To attempt to be 'more than' life only comes from ego and self-interest and is in essence self-delusion, self-abuse.

That is why we stand for individuality as self-willed equals. 

Equality is the key to life, it is the key to actual power.
