Quote:It's a good message for a western origin person coming from a christian environment. That is because they tend to always look outside of themselves to different higher powers for help. We tend to think that we need a rescuer for our society, a saviour from our sins. We beg and plead w our respective higher powers for most everything.
Yet, in spiritual practice, most everything seems to come from within. We are the lever, we are the fulcrum, we have the force. It's a 180 degree turn for most of us to look inside.

I took another reading of this and did a double take. theres a lot of wisdom here. you seem to be in disguise. I see people in disguise sometimes. I resonate with Bob Dylan lyrics; check this out: (our teachers are everywhere, whatever strikes your fancy is where u might find your lovingness) the bridge: "I & I, in creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives, I & I, one said to the other, no man sees my face and lives." (the dark cannot sustain itself in the light, but darkness is needed, or in other words,no rain=no flowers)
I think what MS is saying something about the nature of duality here, that it is belonging as it is. nobody responded because of MS disguise, or they didn't see behind the words. you can also pick up this same message from the tag "mr.Satan." very clever disguise.
but doing a take from Freebird's message from what MS said, I agree the least likely place a dyed in the wool Christian or non-Christian for that matter would look is in their own backyard, or within, I mean consistently; perhaps every moment. so Freebird was told to harness his power because he does not see himself harnessing it, and who does? perfect world to harness things, one must always have an objective here, right? but the world is a constant objective/subjective environment and that's like saying whatever goes up, must surely come down. sorta like falling from grace and munching on the old apple of duality. yummy.
Freebird is right, there is no power but God, or the blinding light. on the other hand MS is right, God is not "out there." God is within.we have never left our home but we are dreaming we have. we have just acquired an ego for experience on this crazy, anything goes planet. we need no longer beg, plead and grovel to be delivered of error, terror or obliteration from the forces of light/God, we just crash, dive, bomb out of restrictive belief systems one at a time. we may be dumb, we may be ignorant, but we are not forsaken by the light. the message harness your power means to me, stop being afraid, as fear creates paralysis. one must always be moving in consciousness here by harnessing the ability to rise above fear, and also to learn to fall, knowing thats a part of your experience also and that the embrace of Light will catch you as you fall.
