“Power.”

B.

All this power has to be subject to higher principles. What good does it do anyone if we can do only what we want? What good does it do our own souls if we are left to only our own ideas and devices? We are not at all ready for all that. We can barely wield it responsibly over ourselves.

 

We are in the right school for it though. We can see the lines around the galaxies. We know there is something behind every veil and a person behind every curtain. There is much to consider about the state of the world but much more to consider about the state of every human soul. All the hard power exercised in the world today, moved by sprites and demons or not, is wrought through human hands. The human experience shows us what power without light does. The divine experience calls us to remember to put power in its place: the opportunity to live in the light and not to dwell in the dark of our own solitary desires.
