I have just become aware that I may have triggered one of my Warrior kindred spirits with the use of the word “empower”. This Warrior is very near and dear to my heart, and I’m certainly not in the habit of purposefully triggering ones such as these. For this message, I’ll just refer to this one as Warrior B.
I’m not really interested in what Webster has to say about the word “empowerment”. I’m not even interested in what Dictionary.com has to say about it. In this new environment, I would like to offer my own definition.
Empowerment is a piece of a Work In Progress – it’s the act of strengthening others so that they can “be all they can be” as the ARMY recruiter would say. Empowerment isn’t a bestowal from failed power structures above – it’s more akin to fertilizer for grass roots. If you take the stance of strengthening others, there’s a certain cross-over point where their strength becomes your strength too. Strength to Strength. It can become something of a Utopian Contagion, a chain reaction to one of my own trigger words: dearth.
Breaking Cycles
For your edification, here's a random sampling of my kin who empower: Kin 57 Red Overtone Earth empowers in order to evolve Kin 18 White Overtone Mirror empowers in order to reflect Kin 226 White Overtone World-Bridger empowers in order to equalize Kin 252 Yellow Overtone Human empowers in order to influence Kin 122 White Overtone Wind empowers in order to communicate Kin 83 Blue Overtone Night empowers in order to dream Kin 161 Red Overtone Dragon empowers in order to nurture Overtone kin are on my right elbow, and yours and yours and yours.
I’m kin 29. I activate in order to purify. (does anything say “trigger-fish” like that?) L.O.T. forgot to mention that I also empower in order to delegate. Maybe he will include that in an updated version, we shall see.
Don’t pull your hair-trigger. Take time to sip, savor and truly process words – yours and those of others. This is the voice of experience talking, I’ve had to learn this the hard way. More than once. Did I mention I’ve had to learn this the hard way? Yes. I hope you don’t.
So now I would like to continue my egress. So I’m empowering Warrior B. in order to delegate a job that is more fitting for that one than for me…
Warrior B. You also said a trigger word for me: rosEMary.
You mentioned that you would rather make rosary beads than use them. Well, I’d rather you didn’t do either please. Do you think those who are being addressed in those prayers by rote on the orders of some guy (or woman) in robes is looking favorably on those who offer them? THEY ARE NOT! No, They yawn and just see them as robotoids following programming.
So here’s the empowerment part. I’m empowering you AND ALL your “locations” to be a collection point for surrendered Rosary beads. Then you’ll know what to do with them after that. I just know it.
This is how we turn dearth into d’Earth (that’s French for “of the Earth”).
Thank you for listening.
