There are all kinds of analogies of machines to humans when it comes to discussion of energy and power.  On the surface it seems kind of silly. We are not machines.  We have a particular life force.  We do not need to be hooked up to some kind of grid to get power.  We do not need to have interconnecting lines and wires to make sure our messages travel from one place to another.  We do not need to be turned off nor are we ever really turned off to reserve our use.  Or do we?  We are not the self-sustaining apparatuses we claim to be.  Just because we are not connected via wiring doesn’t mean we do not run information from one place to another.  We call them words and ideas and use our voices.  All of which requires various types of waves to travel from one space to another.  If we believe we do not need to be turned off, what would we call sleeping?  If we are ever unsure of what happens if we do not power down, just ask any parent of a newborn or a college student who pulled an all-niter.  What about being connected to some sort of grid or force from which the power originates?  That is one we need to determine for ourselves.  When I am operating independently of any greater power source, I find my energy runs dry.  When I am in touch with something greater than me, I find I am able to handle things and generate energy when and where I was certain none existed.  God or whatever you might call it is the source of our creation.  We would not be here without it and when we attempt to operate without it we eventually find ourselves less powerful in our lives.  The great joke of the ages is that being connected to a power greater than ourselves gives us access to an unlimited life force does not make us less than, it makes us whole.  We were not created to be without God.  We were meant to be in relationship with God.  God did not design us like toys forgotten after Christmas.  God created us out of love.  Love is the most powerful force in the universe. If I have the choice to stay connected to the most powerful force in the universe thus having greater power in my life why would I abandon that to be independent?  It is a moment to moment decision. We are not hopeless or hapless victims of life.  We are creations of life meant to expand the experience of love for ourselves and the world.  If I am not the genesis of love, what makes me think I can be without its true source of power?  Why is it that I try it in certain areas of my life and not others?
