This document discusses empowering our inherent nature. It suggests that we may see ourselves as victims of abusive relationships, unstable environments, or unsatisfying jobs. However, we have the power to rely on our own inner intelligence and stability. When we connect with our open and empowered nature, we walk in the room with mental and emotional clarity that profoundly impacts others. The stable qualities that arise from within have earth-shattering power to change people's thinking and living conditions on a large scale. To recognize this power, we must let go of any ideas of victimhood.

OUR OWN EMPOWERED NATURE!
!
!
We could be in an abusive relationship that was emotionally or physically violent; we could be
living in a world that is war torn and fraught with terrorism; we could be in a workplace that is
unsatisfying and in which we never feel any fulfillment, a job where we feel trapped where we
feel we have to be there in order to make money, and all of these could be ways of seeing
ourselves as incapable, disempowered victims who were incapable of anything better—or not. !

When we rely on our own empowered nature, it becomes obvious in us and in all our actions.
When a person is empowered and enlivened by being in touch with their own open intelligence,
they do not have to say a word—one could just look and see the clarity present in them. They
walk in the room and it is like, whoosh, what happened! And what do we see? We see what is
most fundamental in ourselves when we see someone like that. !

The qualities and activities of life that flow from mental and emotional stability are exceptionally
powerful. They are powerful beyond the greatest powers that we see presently demonstrated in
politics, business, technology or other areas of human endeavor. These are the kind of powers
that are earth-shattering, that really change the way people think and live for the better on a
very large scale. If we want to recognize those powers within ourselves, we cannot be a victim
any longer. All of our ideas of being a victim of ourselves or of other people, places and things
just have to go out the window. !
