Always bring spiritual awareness into your thinking. When you embrace spiritual principles, you elevate your thoughts and actions towards the highest possible level of accomplishment.

According to this teaching, power can be understood through four levels:

1. Physical power
2. Mental power
3. Spiritual power
4. Divine power

Each level prepares us for the next. Discipline is required to develop and balance them all.

1. Physical Power

Physical power is the energy expressed through the body, muscles, movement and physical effort. It allows us to lift, build, cultivate, protect and transform material things.

At the most basic level, animals, beasts and human beings rely upon physical power to survive and respond to their environment. Yet physical strength alone cannot resolve every challenge encountered in the jungle of life.

The body must be trained through movement and appropriate exercise. Inertia can contribute to physical weakness and may also affect our mood and mental well-being. Move your body, develop strength and use physical energy constructively.

2. Mental Power

The second level is mental energy, expressed through thought patterns, concentration and control of the mind.

Mental power operates upon the physical because the mind directs the body. Before a person builds, travels, creates or transforms something physically, the intention usually begins within the mind.

At this level, we develop:

• Concentration and mental discipline
• Positive and constructive thought
• Emotional balance
• Confidence and determination
• Imagination and clear vision
• The ability to make wise decisions

Within this spiritual teaching, healing, abundance, miracles and wonders first take shape as possibilities within the mind. Thought then inspires the actions, habits and decisions through which transformation may unfold.

3. Spiritual Power

Spiritual power stands above physical and mental power because it can influence and direct them both.

When spiritual awareness enters our thinking, our work rises to a higher level of meaning and accomplishment. The mind becomes active, focused and aligned with the wisdom of Olodumare.

At the spiritual level, prayer, good character, sacrifice, patience, discipline and divine wisdom strengthen the individual. The person begins to understand that life includes both visible and invisible dimensions.

Spirit moves beyond ordinary physical limitations. Its influence reaches across the seen and unseen worlds. Within this understanding, sincere prayer and spiritually charged words may travel from one part of creation to another in an immeasurably subtle way.

Spiritual power should guide the mind towards wisdom, responsibility, compassion and purposeful action.

4. Divine Power

The divine level is the purest expression of power. At this level, everything centres upon pure love, divine understanding and wisdom.

It is a state in which anger, resentment, unnecessary conflict, excessive worry, anxiety, gossip, criticism and constant complaint no longer control the soul.

To approach this level, a person must pass through and discipline the preliminary stages of power: the physical, mental and spiritual.

In this teaching, the divine level is where the human soul becomes deified or divinized and expresses the qualities associated with an Orisa or Irunmole. Such a person becomes a source of wisdom, light, love and support for others.

This level is not reached through words alone. It requires disciplined conduct, good character, patience, service and alignment with divine wisdom.

Discipline Unites the Four Levels

Physical movement strengthens the body. Mental discipline strengthens thought. Spiritual practice aligns the mind and soul with higher wisdom. Divine love brings these levels into harmony.

Without sound mental power and spiritual wisdom, it is difficult to express the fullness of divine life. Each level must therefore be developed with patience and discipline.

Spiritual practice can support hope, resilience and well-being while accompanying appropriate medical care and practical assistance whenever these are needed.

Begin your journey now:

Move your body. Train your mind. Develop your spirit. Express divine love and wisdom.

May Olodumare guide your steps and bless your journey through every level of power.

Ase.
