Some people say that a veil is being lifted at this stage. That is a true statement, too. There are lots of analogies and metaphors used to describe this exciting process. The act, ability, and presumed authority to wield or exert force and strength. In our discussion of power, we realize that by the time you reach the great Cherry Topping Truth, you know what power truly is.
Power is love.
When we realize what it takes to wield such power we then come to ego. For without ego we cannot understand the 'cause and effect' of a thing. But with ego, we can use wise discernment. So, you learn how everything in life is equally important, none more than the other, but at least now you know what to do when your ego starts to cry and whine for a bottle. Ahem, so back to our discussion.
