> There are always two worlds. The world as it operates is largely about power; the world as it should be, or “the Reign of God,” is always about love. How can you live in both worlds at the same time? As you allow yourself to loosen your grip on the first, you will gradually see the inadequacy and weakness of power as domination or control. You will then tighten your grip around the second, which is the ever purer motivation of love for others instead of yourself.

I must admit, it is rare to find people who hold both together in perfect balance—who have found their inner divine power and use it for others.
