Why this Title?

Many often find purpose and meaning in positions and status. They find their being in what they do, how they look or what they possess. These things give them a sense of control and power. Not necessarily so. Real power comes from knowing who you are in relation to the world we live in. Real power is attained when we realize that we are really no bigger than the sum of all that there is. Yet, when we discover that each individual is loved and cared for, and that there is real meaning for our existence, we find that sense of purpose and meaning. We therefore discover gestalt; that we are greater than the sum of all the parts only when we are willing to give up the parts for the whole.
Real power then is not the power to control. Real power is when you do not need power (or the traditional understanding of power) to have power.
Happy discovery.
