Power can be perceived in many ways and changes form depending on one’s level of advancement.

Classic forms of power that everyone recognizes are riches, beauty, political or social influence, mental or intellectual prowess, and spiritual strength.

External and internal power can be different in essence, but not always correlated. One can excel in one but lack in another, or not wield another.

No matter the power one wields, the highest task for any Temple member is to use the powers at their disposal with the utmost wisdom.

Power and the ability of active doing or influencing is one thing.

Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of the how, why, or if is another.

Great power resides in those who apply the virtues and have the strength to do so; power will dwell in them.
