I kicked this off, and didn't engage with many of the very worthwhile responses, because this is the initial section of a chapter of my new book, and I needed to pursue the thread I was following in regard to the question of evolution of the personal sphere, for both the default person and the adept.

I'm basically finished this chapter now, but I'll keep it for the book. Thanks for all the thoughtful responses.

OK, that’s very romantic, and plenty to work on, but there’s something missing. It’s all very well to speculate that a goal is valuable, and worth living for, fighting for, but without one critical factor, it remains a romantic fantasy. Again, let us assume these aspirations are worthy, even theoretically possible. But there is one element without which, all this remains a pipe dream. We can have before us an aspiration, a goal, a purpose to make life meaningful instead of living as a leaf in the wind, but unless we can match that quest with the power to engage, we are pissing in the wind. Here lies the whole crumbled pack of cards that most of humanity face – nothing we value has any worth unless we have the power to grasp it. The whole charade of evolution becomes meaningless unless any being has acquired the power to launch themselves into the command of that potential.

We can speak of love and kindness, competition and victory, aspiration and realisation, but without the personal power to match that ideation, we are pathetic fools predestined to be sucked down the drain of God’s abattoir, without a flicker of elan. All hope rests on courage and will.

The real question beneath all this fancy deliberation, is do we have the courage and will to bring our visions into manifestation? The only honest answer for anyone with the presentiments of these qualities, is ‘No!’ Only from that ruthless point of truth realisation, can we begin to change our barren fate.

So, how do we gain the power of agency in life, once we acknowledge we are impotent?

I was looking at this again. This is an interesting thread.

Yes right. Personal power. Even with strong intent we have to have this. So we have to know how to acquire personal power and utilize it.

And will of course. Then implement it. The funny thing is those who say squire power tho, often get drunk on it and ruin themselves or worse, even others. I notice you mentioned those who are worthy. Perhaps being worthy and strong enough to work with attaining power and not abuse it. This is why perhaps, as we are at the crossroads in evolution, not all of humanity is going to move in the direction it should.

Also a big thing is the collective energy is duping many to believe they do not have power, that power is outside of them, and they have to yield to "powerful figures" or put others in power to do it for them. So, many either hand it over or don't acknowledge within them, personal power exists.
