Power doesn’t grow out of the barrel of a gun, it emanates from the body.
The power to grow food, to give birth, and to heal is still power.
To discipline this power is to direct it.
To learn a skill or craft is to learn a discipline.
To be disciplined yourself is to be subsumed to the power of another. To be made lesser-part and not equal partner
When we eat we take in the energy that will emanate from us as power later. This is why we should thank those animals and plants that we eat: they provide the power it takes to beat our hearts and to live another day.
One day we will die and also be eaten by that which wishes to live and our self will cease– it’s constituent parts flowing into new forms of life.
