Power pursues the paths of maximal effective communication. Suppressing communication increases control but often undermines power, as evidenced in the economic history of the Soviet Union from 1955 to 1988. Freeing communication to the maximum can bring about some astonishing changes. Advertising, marketing, sales, production, management, marriage, family strength, and community life all stem from the power of communication. Third best recognized is the power of affinity, love, the will to experience other as one with self.
Love power is something mystical and magical to many.
Those who have the actual high power of love tend also to be the best at communication, simply because the barriers to communication dissipate in the presence of high, strong, outgoing affinity. The use of high affinity tends toward the creation of positive new directions of reality and communication. Different sages in time have elevated each of these powers to primacy. The simple truth is they are all faces of the Source power, the unadulterated power of consciousness. But knowing them each as the wholly important thing it is can make understanding come about in many places.
