Part 6 - Desire to Possess Power (Fame)


You love being in the bright lights.  Being in front of the crowd, on stage front and center, ready to perform.  The people come to see you, doing what you do.  They are ready to be entertained , to learn, to be encompassed in your world, in your mind, in the reality that you have created.  

At this moment, you are their focus, a demigod in their eyes, half-man, half-amazing.  When you are about to go out on the “stage”, you love the nervous feeling as adrenaline and endorphins are released into  your  bloodstream.  You take a deep breath, make a short prayer and begin your performance.

Fame and power are the result of work completed and received by others on a large level.  It is an externalization of your will power.  People admire this because it is a part of them that is weak, lacking or unable to be grown because of their inability to act.  

They see you as something that they would like to be.  People also respect authority and someone that commands respect.  

True power cannot be taken away because it comes from within.  Fame can wane and can also be fleeting.  Because true power comes from within, it can be reproduced.  It becomes a natural process like birds flying and fish swimming.  

Fame is a way of knowing you have life after death, while you are still alive.  Fame and power in your sphere of influence inspires others to become experts, to excel and to perform at a higher level in their respective fields.  

As it is said, “Game recognizes game.”  Fame and power is not always liked but the ability to have fame and power is nearly always respected.
