Fear of Power

Do not be ashamed of your fear. Our fears are part of our human condition. It is also a prompt to grow beyond the human repetitive conflict cycle that it draws us into.

The fear of power is both an attraction and a repulsion; it is an awareness of darkness in us and others. We are attuned to danger and know its energy. We know the power that dankness holds; therefore, power is both feared and desired. We may even be attracted to danger and ‘dangerous’ subjects; everything that happens in the dark or the socially ‘forbidden’. This inner fear can also be expressed as contempt for vulnerability in self and others, because strength and power are seen as a vital component to maintain safety in life. We may become secretive and hold our emotions close to our chest, not wanting to reveal any vulnerably in ourselves. We may even exploit other’s vulnerabilities when we are in power positions or become aware of them. We are attuned to vulnerabilities and strengths.

Our fear of power can be expressed as a need for power or an avoidance of power. Sometimes we may be controlled by others to stir our own need to become powerful. The polarity between vulnerability and power is what is at play here. Our humanness can only balance this opposition through a spiritual integration. Opening the pandora’s box of the possibilities of darkness in our human nature and our acceptance of these, requires Divine Love and Wisdom of the dark sides in ourselves.

The sacrum is our inner Divine portal. Grounding in Earth and humbly resigning to acknowledgement of our physical nature as a vessel of Divine power. Grounding into Divine, renew us so we emerge as courageous transformers. We now feel safe, calm and can protect and care for ourselves, others and the earth. We are a bridge between the Divine Universe and Nature.

The real power lies in us holding the two parts of ourselves (animal and divine nature) in awareness to hold stability.

We may not only have one fear, or we may experience different fears at different times throughout our lifetime as we develop maturity and wisdom. To become aware of unconscious or conscious fears is like finding lost parts of our humanness and discover the essence of their divine prompts, so we can grow. When we ask our fear questions about our true nature, we come to understand their existence and purpose. Fears create defence mechanisms that help us cope with our humanness, but we can get stuck in cycles of coping behaviour that robs us of insight and growth. Awareness is an internal choice to grow beyond our unconscious repetitive patterns. Living alongside our fears with divine guidance helps advancement in higher consciousness.
