God's Failsafe Mechanism

A very wise man once said that if an ordinary person had access to all of his/her true power as a spiritual being, that person would most likely destroy the world.

Anyone who has heard about the Law of Attraction eventually realizes that it does not matter whether it is used for 'good' or for 'evil'. It is a Law, like gravity, which acts equally no matter what kind of a person you are. So whether you use your power to attract peace, like Gandhi, or to create war, like Hitler, the Law works the same way in all cases. You attract/create for yourself a reality that matches your vibrational frequency. In other words, we become what we think and believe.

So what about fun?

Isn't it more fun to "crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the women" as they claim in Conan The Barbarian, than to make peace?

For many, the answer would be "yes". Hence the allure of the "dark side" and its seemingly total freedom from all restrictions or contra-indications. In the Star Wars movies, the Sith are always tempting confused Jedi with promises of hidden knowledge and forbidden secrets. The Emperor is forever telling Luke Skywalker that he must harness his anger and only then will he know the true power of the dark side.

But is that in any way true? In the movies, Master Yoda answered that the dark side was not stronger. What about in the 'real' world?

Well, to come back to the reference about the very wise man, we are all very, very, very, very, very, very... (ad infinitum) much more powerful than any of us has ever been able to fully comprehend, much less express.

As so many have taught before, we are basically UNLIMITED in potential power.

Notice that I wrote "potential" power. This is important. In theory (metaphysical/spiritual, and more and more Quantum scientific theory), we can all be, do, and have absolutely anything we can imagine. Do you want to fly like a bird or like Superman? You can. Do you want a trillion dollars? Go ahead. Do you want a nice, cold, beer? Get up off your a** and get one!

The point is that in theory, we are gods. In practice... well, why aren't we gods?

Think about this for a second. If that high-strung co-worker of yours could harness the power to fart lighting bolts at precise targets, what do you think they would do with it when they are having a "bad day"? Nothing? No, those lighting bolts would be hitting targets right, left and center. And what if we could all manifest such powers? The world would be one giant battle-ground and the battle would last all of half-a-second before the entire planet would be destroyed.

You probably also heard about Indian Yogis or Saints or the like, demonstrating special powers (siddhis) or miracles. And then saying that these things (like levitation, healing and 'psychic' abilities) are totally natural and available to all of us. Upon closer examination, do you know what else these 'Masters' all have in common? They are calm, content, and deeply loving of all life... otherwise known as "enlightened".

It seems to me like this is more than a coincidence.

The people with the most extraordinary personal power in the world, also being the least likely to use it to destroy? My, my, my. Could it be? Could there be a failsafe mechanism to this infinite universe so that only true unconditional love unlocks the door to the unlimited power that is our birthright?

In the works of Dr. David Hawkins, consciousness is calibrated on a power scale from 1 to 1000. Anything that is life-negating scores very low on the scale, and the more something or someone is life-affirming, the higher the power available. In other words, learn to love like Jesus loved, and you shall have the same power that he did. The only catch here is that if you try to love like Jesus just to get the same powers, it will never work. To pretend to love to get power would mean you could still use that power to destroy. Your entire being must resonate truthfully with the infinite power of love.

Then, you too can be a god.

And that is why the 'dark side' can never be stronger. Only Unconditional Love can unlock our true infinite power.
