Fourth Insight The Struggle for Power "The Celestine Prophecy"

Read my three previous posts before going through this post to follow the proper sequence.

The fourth insight deals with our struggle for power in this world. We can clearly see that humans are trying hard to dominate each other. We want to reach at higher designations. We want to earn lots of money so that we can hire people to work for us. We want to control others in different ways. It is the desire which operates at the sub-conscious level. The fourth insight is the identification of this greed for power and energy. This insight is directly attached with ego fights. As, soon as we stop fighting for this power with humans, people are going to be free from their egos which is the root cause of all pains and sufferings. But, the question arises that what this power and energy are in a fundamental way.

In the third insight, we talked about the existence of invisible energy which can nourish us. All the universe is made up of this invisible energy. We basically fight for this energy which can make us to feel better. Energy transfers from the person being dominated to the person who is dominating. A person who is dominating gets filled with energy and hence feels better.

When humans are going to realize about this fourth insight, they will realize about their individuality. They are going to realize that no other individual can be like them. They are utterly unique in this vast existence. At this point, there will be no point of struggle for power. Humans will be contented within themselves without any conflict. Humans will cease to fight for energy with other humans but eventually they will shift their focus towards some another source. It was not mentioned in the book about the source of this energy till the description of the fourth insight. I will explain this source of energy as soon as book starts talking about it in the next chapters.
