The Inner Power

In the book I ventured many answers to this question and some of them were repeated in your posts, but finally the key word was revealed -- DECISION. But this still was not the end of the quest, instead it was merely a major hint.

We decide because of what we are and we BECOME because of what we are. And what is that? Diane mentioned the quote from the book and Dave seemed to grasp the essence.

There is a power within you that makes the actual decisions. The Decision itself is not you but is an effect proceeding from you. What is the real you is the essence within you, the operating self existent power that makes decisions. This power of decision and decision are two different things. The real you is this power which is the same power which has belonged to the One God from the eternities. Through this essence all lives are one and that oneness becomes realized when we obtain full use of this power through the assumption of our real opportunity to make decisions.

Manifesting the fullness of this power also enhances soul contact.

One of the main disagreements between the Brotherhood of Light and the Dark Ones is concerning this power within us. The Dark Brothers believe that this power only belongs to the strong and the aggressive at the expense of the weak; whereas the good guys have sure knowledge that all lives are to have all opportunity possible to expand this power. Enhancing this power in others eventually enhances it within ourselves. In the end the battle is selfishness against unselfishness.

Selfishness seems to work in the short run so it is a great temptation to many, but in the long run unselfishness is far and away the greater benefactor to all.

Even though the full power of decision is available to us, if we had the consciousness to use it, we are swindled out of this power through ignorance or deception. All us, of to some degree, are deceived into thinking that we cannot use it in certain areas.

So, the question of the day is this:

Name some areas where we should be using the power of decision, but most of us do not.

Example:   "My boss will not give me a raise so I guess there's no way I can get that new car..."

How could the guy get a new car with or without his boss's help by using decision?

Now think of some other examples.
