Inner Dialogue and Self Power
Being synchronized with the intelligence field creates balance physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It gives you strength and flexibility that allow you to meet any challenge effortlessly. You become capable of transforming the challenge in such a way that it nourishes you, and you draw greater strength from meeting the challenge.
Our inner dialogue gives us that kind of bright power because it is, in fact, the inner dialogue of the conscious intelligence field. When we are in tune with the universal consciousness, when we are synchronized in the non-local intelligence field, we take on the power that emanates from that boundless force. This power comes from within, and when you have it, nothing is beyond your reach.
There are two kinds of power that emanate from the self. The first is the power of agency–the power that comes from having a famous name, lots of money, or an impressive title. The power of agency can be formidable, but it eventually comes to an end. True power comes from within, and it has a spiritual rather than a material foundation. It is permanent and does not die with your body.
With agency, identity and power come from some external reference–an object, a situation, a status symbol, a relationship, money. With self-power, identity comes from listening to the true self, and power comes from the internal reference of spirit.
When you work from this internal reference, your sense of self is clear and is not affected by external factors. This is the source of personal power.

WHAT IS THE "INTELLIGENCE FIELD" if not invisible diabolic powers? Why would we ever want to tamper with those forces? Instead of being in sync with them as Deepak Chopra is suggesting, the best we can do is the opposite - staying as far away from them as we possibly can. Don´t ever think you could control those dark forces. Instead, they will take control of you and eventually destroy you.
You think that sounds nice? Then just follow the suggestions of this sly deceiver and you will get what you're asking for.
Beware of Deepak Chopra and his crafty advice. Consider the fact that Satan always mixes lies with truths to confuse and deceive us.
God's word says:"We are all an unclean thing, and all our righteousness is like a filthy rag" (Isaiah 64:6) and: "the heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?" (Jeremiah 17:9)
All that´s good in us comes from God and God only. Faith in Jesus made manifest by heartfelt prayer in His mighty name is what connects us with the Power of God. There is no other way.

Fame, fortune, and power are vehicles that can't take us to where we need to go, but our conscience can. So we should cultivate virtue to tune in better to ourselves.

"When we are in tune with the universal consciousness...we take on the power that emanates from that boundless source...", that wondrous Spirit. And in the end, only Love prevails.
May it be so in this newly-re-birthed America and in all places of our beautiful Planet, our Mother. The tapestry continues to be woven among peoples, among nations, by those who transmute the power of agency to the power of Love. May it be so. Amen. Aum.
Wise Soul, thank you, thank you. I love your posts here. A beautiful way to begin a meditation....
