This idea on p. 108 has transformed the way I see motivation and how to inspire my children.

Power Vs. Force by
p.108
“On examination we will see that power arises from meaning. It has to do with motive and it has to do with principle. Power is always associated with that which supports the significance of life itself and dignifies- ennobles. Force must always be justified, whereas power requires no justification. Force is associated with the partial, power with the whole.
“If we analyze the nature of force it becomes readily apparent why it must always succumb to power; thus is in accordance with one basic lay of physics. Because force automatically creates counter-force, its effect is limited by definition we could say that force is a movement. It goes from here to there, or tries to go from here to there against opposition. Power, on the other hand, is still. It is like a standing field that does not move. Gravity itself, for instance, does not move against anything. Its power moves all objects with its field, but the gravity itself does not move.
“Force always moves against something, whereas power does not move against anything. Force is incomplete and therefore has to constantly be fed energy. Power is total and complete in itself and requires nothing from outside itself. It makes no demands; it has no needs. Because force has an insatiable appetite, it constantly consumes. Power, in contrast, energizes, gives forth, supplies and supports. Power gives life and energy. Force takes these away. We notice that power is associated with compassion and makes us fell positively about ourselves. Force is associated with judgment and makes us feel badly about ourselves.
“Force always creates counter-force; its effect is to polarize rather than unify. Polarization always implies conflict; its cost, therefore, is always high. Because force incites polarization, it’s inevitably produces a win / lose dichotomy, and because somebody always loses, enemies are always created. Constantly faced with enemies, force requires constant defense. Defensiveness is costly…�

Power just is! When we connect with that power, we stand as if in sunshine. When we use force, we step outside that light. The result in the end is something completely different than what we thought the force would do. Force incites the powers of darkness and the results are within that sphere.

This principle is transforming the way that I think and act. Thank you Dr Hawkins!
