To Get More Power
From the Tamborine Talk June 1990.
Masters sometimes go silent. Why? To get more power, to be more conscious, to discover more of the wonder and truth of being.
Talking when you don’t have to is a waste of power - a leaking you can reduce enormously by saying only what is necessary in the moment. Don’t make the phone-call if it’s just for a chat. If it’s not necessary, you’re indulging yourself, leaking, wasting away your power.
And don’t decide to do what I’m saying. Decisions are also a waste of energy. Instead, see the truth of what I’m saying, now, in your own experience. Then in the moment when you see yourself leaking energy, you’ll know what you are doing and you’ll stop without any effort. For effort is another waste of power. To know what you’re doing is the end of decision-making. When you no longer feel obliged to make decisions, you’re choiceless, conscious - and that’s power.
