Indeed. Wasn't it him that said something like; "Power attracts the corruptible. Absolute power attracts the absolute corruptible."

heh

If you like that one, try this one:

I wonder if the ill definitions of 'power' could be one of the reasons why we forget that we are meant to be all powerful beings? The only way power can be perceived as 'bad' is when it is used for the purpose of harming or controlling others ...and YET... you cannot create in the experience of another without the conscious permission (or on a soul level permission) of another. Perhaps what we are to learn from what we perceive as the abuse of power is how we feel when we ourselves believe we are lacking it.
Peace,

PS: I agree with Aprogas... Resistance and hatred only FEEDS and expands what we do not want in our own reality... We need to learn to detach more and observe rather than get sucked in and become part of what we dislike.

I've posted this elsewhere, but one more time is okay...

Power only corrupts the weak minded and only when they succumb to the wrong thoughtforms that are seeking entry in their mindspace. Some can handle power and do it with grace and benevolence.
Its just rare in these times.

I symply ignore what i don ´t have proof of existence; if i had, the best way to win is the same: ignoring them , executing all my capacity of election, because election, is the only one incorruptible hability i known in myself, to choose, to choose.

And u all , talking about the, won ´t make them go away.

Hating them won't make them go away, it will do quite the opposite.

The rules of physical reality - cause, effect, action, reaction, force, compliance - combined with the weakness of non-psychopathic humans - ignorance, naivete, distraction, triviality, conformity - makes this world a playground for psychopaths by default.

But then again, who is it that subtly coordinates these psychopaths into maintaining this spiritual prison no matter where their position in the social hierarchy? Who is it that genetically programmed, even stunted, mankind into being as blind and base as it has become? I'm guessing certain alien factions of a hyperdimensional nature. There is no top to the STS hierarchy - why should the chain of control end with human psychopaths?

i think it has to do with alot of prematurely "inserted" situations

Maybe the chain goes up hierarchical, but at all, is related with psychopatic behavior, being of alien origin, or not.

I guess we could say they're delusional, because their control is illusion. They're manipulated and don't know it.
