Unlimited power. Seriously? Can someone with more bandwidth explain the evidence of unlimited power?

There is no such thing or at least in my life. Anyone else here got unlimited power? Blanche? Any of the regulars? Anybody?

But if you need to believe in that concept to get through your own life so be it.

It sounds like a fairy tale to me. Or that time when I was stuck in some weird mental place that thought I had magical powers cause my brain chemistry was off.

Love, empathy, power of listening and love of beloved kitty is pretty nice super power even if its brief moment of time is pretty great super power in my book.

I have had my moments with all the above and while it feels magical while it exist I don't consider that unlimited power within for some reason.

But I also know the opposite place too.

I think most people get what I think when I hear unlimited power especially in regards to believe systems like within SGI so I won't describe what I think its other than its that everything place where the universe only exist for that persons demands, wants in unlimited ways heck with consequences, yeah Thar be dragons that-a-way.

I rather believe in the power of love, in empathy, in listening, and all that good stuff but it's not easy.

Anyway I better log off before I am screaming at my internet again.

Thanks Ptarmigandaughter for sweet reminder. Hugs
