There are many of sayings that people agree with that are completely untrue. I had this conversation with many elders from more than a few Tribes in this world. I think when three Old Wise Men who have invested their whole lives in the pursuit of the spiritual truth through differing forms, having never met each other, say the same exact thing verbatim, I tend to pay close attention. An example of this is, Many Years ago, I was drove Uber for few short months years ago, I picked up this Tibetan Monk at the airport. He was my only airport pick up ever as an Uber driver. I took him to the Buddhist temple and hung out with him for a while that night. He was very humble and pleasant to be around. We shared a meal and a conversation. He said to me at dinner, Andy there are many stories’ people believe that untrue. and there are many stories’ people don’t believe that are true. He said a lot of people in this world are confused. They believe one thing that is entirely untrue and they don’t believe another that is entirely True. The biggest misconception is about power. I will never forget that that conversation with a Tibetan Monk who’s only luggage was a small simple tan tote bag. 15 yeas later I am hanging out with a former PGA superstar in Palm Desert California. Who also is a Preacher for the Salt of the Earth Ministries. One day he says the same exact thing verbatim as the Tibetan Monk I met driving an uber. I never even said anything to him, I just smiled. 2 years later I was speaking with a Hopi Elder, and he said the same exact thing verbatim as the other two men. To my knowledge none of these men had ever met each other. And yet they all said the same exact thing verbatim, “Andy there are many stories’ people believe that untrue. and there are many stories’ that are True that people don’t believe. He said a lot of people in this world are confused. They believe one thing that is entirely untrue, and they don’t believe another that is entirely True. The biggest misconception is about power.”

Here is an example of that is widely accepted as true but is entirely untrue about power. “Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely.” Christ had the Absolute power to perform the Miraculous (bending the laws of reality) in an uninterrupted series. The Constitution of the entire Gospel is the uninterrupted series of Miracles performed. The finally is His victory even over His own death. There is absolutely nothing corrupt about Christ. What is corruptible is corruptible with or without power. The idea that Power corrupts is completely untrue. The opposite is actually True. It is the lack of Power that corrupts.

Another false statement that many accept to be true is “Knowledge is Power.” Knowledge is not power. Power is Power.

If you go over and unplug the refrigerator from its power source. At first, everything will look the same inside and out. A week later the outside still looks the same but if you look inside, you will see the lettuce start to wilt and the milk start to curdle because it is not connected to The Power Source. A month later and everything in the refrigerator will look the same on the outside but everything in the inside will be rotten.

Let us address the second statement first and the first statement second. The untrue statement commonly accepted as the truth : “Knowledge is power.” Now, you can hire a Mathematician, A Quantum Physicist, A Psychiatrist, A Rocket Scientist, A journey man Line man, a magician and a snap on tool truck owner to all come out and have them shout at the top of their lungs the sum total of all their combined knowledge. You can have them do elaborate math equations, shout quantum laws and theory, quote high voltage power info, Rocket theory and  mass m, moving at velocity v and subject to external forces F, and reason with the refrigerator and talk about the inner child work, shadow work, and daddy and mommy issues, pull rabbits out of their hat and provide lists of tools a mile long until they are blue in the face. You can rearrange the alpha beta magnets on the outside of the refrigerator into to elaborate quotes from Shakespeare, Aristol, and Ghandi. The sum total of all that knowledge will not power the refrigerator. Because Knowledge is not power. Power is Power. Now a 3-year-old little girl in a princess dress wearing purple crocks, who wants to grow up to be a kitty! can walk right over plug in the refrigerator to its power source and it will work again as it is meant to.

Let’s look at the other false statement: “Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely”. In the refrigerator analogy, you can clearly see when you separate the refrigerator from the power everything on the inside start to become corrupt and rot. It is not the power that corrupts it is the lack of power that corrupts. It is the same with human beings.

Here in the United States, we have a constitution and a bill of rights. That is the power cord that connects people to their Power and rights as citizens of This Country. In the Bible the uninterrupted series of Miracles is the Constitution of The Gospels for The Sons and Daughters of God. When people are separated from their PowerSource they become corrupt inside. They begin to rot. Even if everything looks fine on the outside. It is not rocket science that will restore people to their power, it isn’t the great intelligence of AI that will restore people to their power. It is the Constitution of the Gospel that restores followers to their true power source. It is the Constitution of United States that restores Power to the People of the United States. Not their government or social media likes and hearts. Not more selfie filters or anything else.

Both of The Uninterrupted Series of Miracles of the Gospel and The United States Constitution are Absolute Power and entirely innocent of corruption.
