Power accomplishes what it does without intending to, by virtue of
being what it is. Gravity has no intention to lift a nail from the floor.
I mean, magnetism has no intention of doing that. Gravity has no
intention of pulling an apple out of the tree. Gravity, magnetism,
the electrostatic field, the infinite universe, are immensely powerful
by virtue of that which they are. All they have to do is “be there.”
Mahatma Gandhi stood there, all 90 pounds of him, and defeated
the British Empire. He calibrated 700 at the time, and the British
Empire calibrated at 178 or 185 or something. All Mahatma Gandhi
had to do was just sit there and not eat, and the British Empire was
defeated. He didn’t have to do anything. Gandhi did not fire a shot.
So, power accomplishes effortlessly by virtue of that which it
is. You don’t have to feed it energy; it radiates energy. It accomplishes by virtue of the quality of that which it is. It doesn’t do
anything. It doesn’t have any intention. Those are all coming out
of presumption of the human ego and projected, which we see
happening with God. We see that happening to the image of God
throughout time. All kinds of foibles and fallacies of the human
ego are projected onto God, such as “why” questions. Gravity is
what it is, and it’s immensely powerful. It does it for millions and
billions of eons without wearing itself out. Eon after eon, the universe, in its immense power determines—it doesn’t determine by
intention—but is that which is the “why” of it all. The “why” of it
all is the “is” of it all. So, power, then, does what it does by virtue
of its quality.
Force is something else. Force goes from here to there. Force wears itself out. Force, as we know from physics creates counterforce.
