Earthly [[power]] is more or less [[delusional]] power. It is temporary and it is very unstable. But, spiritual power is [[different]]. Spiritual power is gained as earthly power is [[renounced]]. Spiritual power is almost a self-negating or [[self-forgetting]] state which is the only way a human being can [[touch]] real [[love]] and real power of love. You cannot hold it, or [[possess]] it, but you can draw near to it as you [[surrender]] your earthly power to him who has all power. Human beings [[panic]] without their [[illusions]] of power, without the illusion of [[control]]. The thought of being a small grain of sand tossed by the sea is too [[frightening]] for most human beings and so humans go about pretending that their [[money]] or their control or their earthly [[influence]] will somehow protect them from the on rushing [[tide]]. But, in the end, those illusions are shattered and each one departs this [[life]] with nothing.

The most mighty [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharoah pharaoh] of ancient times departs this earth equally [[endowed]] as his most [[humble]] [[slave]]. The man with [[illusions]] of [[control]] loses his illusions. The one without illusions of control loses nothing. Who is richer? Spiritual power is [[invisible]]. Spiritual power is all powerful.

It is child like, however, to [[expect]] [[the Father]]'s powerful love to break the rules of [[cause and effect]] that he has created for the [[good]] of all. The Father sees the end from the beginning. He knows the best type of environment in which to raise his [[ambitious]] youngsters.
