Physical Power is not the Most Powerful Form of Power

(The limiting decision* Lita is clearing is “Men have all of the power.” The first event in which she made this decision was in a past lifetime, in which men having all of the power was assumed by everyone in that culture at that time. Lita was saying that at that time when she made the limiting decision*, that’s just how it was.)
Transcript Excerpt of Jane’s Teachings “When the general experience in a particular social environment holds in place the same dysfunctional idea, that means that virtually every person at that time had that as a limiting decision*. The men and the women had the limiting decision* that men have all of the power. So everyone was holding that paradigm in place. That gave you the impression that that’s how it is. But that doesn’t make it true. It just means, in that limited human perspective, that’s what was being held in place.
So the first stage is everyone accepts it. They don’t consider there is any problem. That’s just the way it is. The next stage is someone like you who is more advanced, is saying, ‘Hey, I don’t like this.’ And you start getting an inkling that there is something wrong with things being that way. That is the first step toward shifting it. Even getting a sense that there is another possibility is a miracle, because it’s an evolutionary leap. And then the next stage is to actually clear the limiting decision*, which requires you to really get that the physical form of power, that men’s power superiority was based on, is not the only form of power there is. It’s the most primitive. It’s not true that those with the most physical power are the most powerful, because if it were true, the big woolly mammoth would be in control. Therefore it becomes obvious that intelligence is far more powerful than brute physical strength. There is emotional strength, intellectual strength and spiritual strength, which also relates to the power to heal, which is extraordinarily powerful. So spiritual power is the most powerful of all, which is the reason why the whole idea of witch burning came up. That’s the fear of emotional-spiritual power. If it wasn’t so powerful, they wouldn’t be burning women for having it. So clearly there are much more powerful forms of power than brute physical force. And the only reason people don’t realize it is because of the limiting decision. And now at this time in history, both men and women are beginning to recognize that holding in place the old paradigm is not beneficial to either women or men. It’s extremely hard on men.”
(Lita was saying if she were a man she’d feel so ashamed of what men have created through the ages.)
“Men having controlled a large aspect of life in the past is fully as much women’s responsibility as men’s, because men and women have both held in place that paradigm. In that past life time, you were holding in place that men have all of the power, which means that you were just as responsible for them having all of the power, and therefore for things being out of balance.”
