Power

by Frederick Lenz, Rama

Hello power lovers. I am here today on top of the Continental Divide, 11,500 feet up above the earth. I’m parked by the side of the road. It’s around 7:45 in the evening on August 7th. Occasionally a car or truck will roar by. I’m facing some distant power mountains — a suitable place to discuss with you the end of the world.

The world has an ending and a beginning. It begins with you and it ends with you. The end of this world occurs when you make a major transition in attention — when you move from one world into another, from one reality into another. Everything is dependent upon energy. Energy is attention. Attention is awareness.
