The Fourth Insight... The Struggle For Power

I know you are probably reading the title and are thinking, "Yo, Middle Finger, WTF are you talking about?" Well, I'mma break it down for you. This blog is based on a book called the Celestine Prophecy, of which a movie was made with the same name based on the book. The book is a best seller throughout the world and has been copied into numerous languages in many foreign countries.

The book is about a man who one day gets a call from an old fling about a manuscript written many of thousands of years ago in South America... It's an incredible book and although I haven't seen the movie, I'm going to check it out. There are 9 insights and they are linked to the link below... Check it out for an overview of the book as well as the insights.

Here is the fourth insight and the one I wanna focus on :

"To gain energy, we tend to manipulate or force others to give us attention and thus energy. When we successfully dominate others in this way, we feel more powerful, but they are left weakened and often fight back. Competition for scarce human energy is the cause of all conflict between people."

Read it again...and a third time if you need to. Now think of your life. Do you know people who are like this with you? Constantly trying to keep your attention focused on them, whether it's positive or negative? And by focusing your attention on them, you understand that you focus your life energy towards them and at the same time enpower them while in turn weaken yourself?

Ever wonder why you can get in an argument with someone, regardless of what it's over and aftewards you just feel drained and empty... That is because you have lost your energy...Where you focus your mental energy, is where it will go.

Einstein said that Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but simply transferred from one object to the next.

Ever have a Supervisor at work or a co-worker who is just negative all the time? And when they leave from being around you just feel different? That person is constantly needing to be fed the energy of others...the only way they know how to get it is to be negative. The link also tells about the type of people and categories that people fall in to manipulate energy.

The fourth insight is something I've shared with many people. It's probably the most important of the nine. When you understand the insights and apply them, you keep yourself protected from those who wish to steal your energy... An old Ex, a friend who is jealous, or just regular run of the mill haters.

Check out the link... Read the insights... Get the book, read and learn.
