Power is the rate at which energy is manifest i.e. the rate the universal potential is manifest at.<br \/>\nIn other words, power is the measure and energy is the measured. Power is the rate of action (work, play, dance or however you symbolize existence). It can be symbolized thus:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><strong>Power = Action\/Time\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Comment<\/strong>. In as much as energy is manifest in every aspect of existence, then every aspect of existence has power i.e. has a measurable manifestation.\u00a0<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>True hope occurs when we\u00a0 comprehend that no form or aspect of existence can be called <strong><em>power<\/em><\/strong>, for <strong><em>power<\/em><\/strong> is a measure of the rate of change in all things.<br \/>\nTrue hope occurs when we understand that there are as many measures as there are forms or aspects of existence.\u00a0 Then we give each measure its own truthful symbol reflecting the unique properties of each form.
