What Mateo was saying about power, and fear=contraction/love=expansion made me think of Jonathan Horwitz's words (see http://www.shamanism.dk/Article–We-are-all-conne... which I really love:

The concept of power is very central to shamanism. I spend a lot of time thinking about this one word ”power”. A lot of people are afraid of this word because their power has been taken away from them, and they experience themselves as powerless. When they think of power, people tend to think of armies, of strong men who beat up women and children who are physically weaker; they think of the power of money which they may not have. On the other hand there are other kinds of power: in Danish and German there are two words for power. One is Macht which closely translates to ”might”, and the other is Kraft which translates more as ”energy”.
I think this distinction is very important. ”Might” is used to control, whereas energy is used to lift up or to illuminate. Only this morning I realized that the spiritual root of ”might” is fear. When people are afraid, they need to control; the best way to control is to take away other people’s power, and the power that they often take away is people’s energy, be it their physical or their spiritual energy. The spiritual root of ”energy” however is probably love. When you look at the entire universe it is filled with power, but for me this power, way out to the very edges of the universe, if there are any edges, is energy.

Devine spark of creativity is a show of love
it cannot be held, only experienced, shared and reflected upon.
Music is the heaven which awakens the heart
the heart follows and leaves the ego behind.

Find the song "Hummingbird" by Theo Massop.
a gift when you do.

Thank you for sharing this conversation and expression of thoughts and ideas.
