Power Of Love, Or Love Of Power?

You may be familiar with the myth about the city of Atlantis and the civilization that is believed to have once existed there. The inhabitants of Atlantis are also believed to have been very advanced spiritually, much more than we are today. They were a psychic people and possibly communicated telepathically. They were able to build amazing structures and move impossibly large objects, and also do other amazing things that would be unheard of at that time.

The Atlanteans also used crystals, like some of us do today, and they had a higher spiritual or cosmic consciousness. It certainly must have been a very saintly realm. But, as the story goes, there came the influence of a dark, negative energy that made material things look more and more attractive to this advanced people. They turned to material desires and increasingly sought material gain and self-indulgence.

Sometimes it seems we are also going the same way. These days people are more interested in personal gain, getting rich, and owning more. Personally, I find it very sad and disturbing. I believe the first downfall for Atlantis was when they started applying their spiritually advanced abilities for the purpose of self-indulgence and material prosperity.

I don’t want this to happen to life as we know it for us. I am very fortunate to work with some of the best psychics on the internet at Psychic Access. We all have a true gift and we use it to help and guide others, and serve our fellow man. But there are also those in our field who also have the gift, but they use it for self-gain and profit, certainly not to help others. They live selfishly and for self enrichment.

We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power.  Then will our world know the blessings of peace – William Ewart Gladstone

In the past, I sometimes worked at a psychic fair doing free readings. I didn’t charge. I volunteered my time and did it just for the fun and for the joy it would bring to others. Of course, I also handed out my business cards, in hopes they would later find me on Psychic Access, or meet up with me when I do my free readings at the local library.

While I was there and witnessed the effect my contribution had on people, I wondered why more of us did not do this more often? If I could have just one wish it would be that we treated everyone like a brother or sister, and view everyone as we view ourselves.

The disconnect from the divine spark within us all happens when the love of money, power, and self-gain becomes more important than treating our fellow man with dignity, respect and charity. When greedy and selfishness take over we lose touch with what and who we are meant to be. We are all meant be Lightworkers, helping each other to see and be the Light. It is in all of us.

And are money and greed and personal power not what drive our economy and our politics? I don’t want us to end up like the ending of the Dr. Seuss’ anti-war story called The Butter Battle Book. I don’t want to see which side is going to drop the first bomb. In the words of the Dalai Lama, “Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.”

For generations the Atlanteans lived simple, virtuous lives. But slowly they began to change. Greed and power began to corrupt them. When Zeus saw the immorality of the Atlanteans he gathered the other gods to determine a suitable punishment – Bradley Keyes

It is my prayer for humanity that we all fall in love with the power of love, and drop kick the ‘love of power’ to the curb. As spiritually awakened beings and co-creators of our future reality, it must be our mutual goal to build a more freedom loving and peaceful world. Spiritually we have a duty to each other. But for that we need to look at our own intentions and conduct first.

I have much hope. For I have faith in the innate goodness of mankind.
