A contrast is made between living a life based on what might be called polarized ‘power to’, the dualistic ‘power over’ or ‘power under’, and a life based on ‘power with’, power that is shared, in and through compassion. ‘Power over’ and ‘power under’ are ‘relationships to’ which keep us attached and tethered to our ego, to the past and/or the future. ‘Power with’, being grounded in and through compassion, is characterized as that transcending power connecting each of us with the imbalance and chaos of growth and healing, as One.
