My sense is that the type of power referred to regarding Mr. Hawkins is control.

My personal perspective is that power over anything (control/dominion) is of no interest.
If the choice is between controlling others in an effort to create a "better" world, and allowing "the most egotistical and un-loving" to take control and create a world of their liking, the "egotistical and un-loving" are free to do as they like in my book.

But why must it be us vs. them?
Must it be us vs. them?
Is there an "us" and a "them"?
Thanks for this.
Think you would find Hawkins book "Power versus Force" interesting.
Power dosent need to do anything it just is.
Force needs energy and eventually exhausts itself.
(as defined by Hawkins)
