Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 > So, have you found the belief that is behind the feeling of *power*? Yes. To me, it is: I don't care what you [others] think, say, want, like, dislike, approve, disapprove... My focus is only on what I want! This is what I want, whether you like it or not... is NOT my problem! IOW... This is who I am, this is what I am thinking, this is what I am saying... and, I am not bothered with whether you might like it or not - that is NOT my problem! And, I don't feel any need to " change " , " manipulate " , " polish " or " coat " myself, my words, my thoughts in any way whatsoever! I am NOT here to please you, to help you, to appease you or to hurt, damage or criticize you... Best I will do is - tell you exactly what I want! Worst I will do is - tell you exactly what I want! Whether that hurts you or helps you is not my problem! I will simply let out what flows through me and I will do it without needing to " change " , " polish " or " manipulate " it in any way! Yet, IOW... Liking or not liking me, my thoughts, my words, my action are " your " problems NOT mine! If you wish, you deal with it! I don't care one way or the other! In short... It is total freedom to be Fully Myself without any apologies, without any excuse , without any explanation, without any manipulation and without any agenda! It is the state of being totally myself and not needing anything from anybody - including not needing to " keep a job " , " keep a family " , " maintain peace " , " maintain good image " or... to " remain alive " ! Thoughts, words, actions simply flow... and, I am not concerned about " why " it flows and not concerned about what it might do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
