The Source Of True Power

But there is a. You can, there is a source of power in you that transcends the person. And it's not egoic power over somebody. And it's one with a power that is the power of life in the universe where all life arises. And people sometimes have a problem with self confidence or valuing yourself. And sometimes you try to convince yourself by changing your thinking that you are actually good enough and you should be self confident. But there is a better way to find the source of self confidence on the egoic level. Self confidence is there because you see, you can tell yourself I'm actually more intelligent than most of these people or I'm better looking than most. I have to remind myself that I'm better looking than most. And then okay, yeah, I feel bit more confident now. Or you say I actually have more money than these people so I should have more self confidence. Whatever it is some way of convincing yourself. And then you compare yourself with others and then you focus on those areas where you feel superior to others and try not to think about other areas where inevitably you are inferior to others because you cannot be superior in all areas. It's a complicated game when you start, start comparing yourself to other people. And if you want to bolster your self confidence and you only have to focus on where you feel I'm actually better than most, but that doesn't really work that well. So there is a better way of self confidence that has nothing to do with comparing yourself with others or with feeling you are better than or not as good as. And that is direct access to inner power. You don't need any comparison. You can have it right now, at this very moment, if you are not stuck in your thinking mind, but take your attention a little bit beyond the thinking mind and then realize that you are the presence behind the thinking mind without which there could be no thinking. You are the aware presence behind it all that is deeper. You've gone deeper than the thinking mind. And that aware presence is where power resides and it's not yours because it connects you with universal power. Therefore, you don't need to compare yourself to anybody anymore or feel as the ego always does, that you are either superior or inferior to somebody else. That's not a comfortable way to live where you have to classify yourself when you meet people. And so the fear is always I might be inferior, or behind that fear is a desire to be superior.
