A line manager in the work place once said to me, “I could make your life Hell if I wanted to.” He finished by saying, “That is power!” My reply was, “Only if I let you.” I explained that power was not controlling others, but the ability to control ourselves.
‘BERLIN — Europe's economic powerhouse, Germany, announced plans Monday to abandon nuclear energy over the next 11 years, outlining an ambitious strategy in the wake of Japan's Fukushima disaster to replace atomic power with renewable energy sources.
‘BERLIN — Europe's economic powerhouse, Germany, announced plans Monday to abandon nuclear energy over the next 11 years, outlining an ambitious strategy in the wake of Japan's Fukushima disaster to replace atomic power with renewable energy sources.
Chancellor Angela Merkel said she hopes the transformation to more solar, wind and hydroelectric power serves as a roadmap for other countries.
"We believe that we can show those countries who decide to abandon nuclear power – or not to start using it – how it is possible to achieve growth, creating jobs and economic prosperity while shifting the energy supply toward renewable energies,"’1
On hearing this news my heart wanted to sing. I saw evidence that the vibration of the planet was finally lifting and I sent my love and gratitude to the German people for forcing this change upon its government.
‘The decision represents a remarkable about-face for Merkel's center-right government, which only late last year pushed through a plan to extend the life span of the country's reactors, with the last scheduled to go offline around 2036. But Merkel, who holds a Ph.D. in physics, said industrialized, technologically advanced Japan's "helplessness" in the face of the Fukushima disaster made her rethink the technology's risks.’2
I believe however, there was something more powerful to change government opinion and remove this dangerous technology. Credit to the German government for changing their decision is due, but the bulk of the credit should go to the German people who demonstrated.
‘Many Germans have vehemently opposed nuclear power since Chernobyl sent radioactivity over the country. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets after Fukushima to urge the government to shut all reactors quickly’.3
Governments are made up of people. People are always reluctant to change unless they have to. When we change the world changes – this is power.
In contrast, ‘French Prime Minister Francois Fillon, whose country relies on nuclear power to produce 80 percent of its electricity supply, insisted "there's no way" for the European Union to meet its emission-cutting targets without at least some nuclear power.’4

What Mr. Fillon says is of course not true, but in order to achieve ‘emission-cutting targets’, change needs to take place and the power base needs to shift away from the huge energy companies and rest with smaller communities providing for their own energy needs. Empowering individuals to provide their own solar or wind power is something at present, industry and government will resist at all costs – but this will happen. When this happens is entirely up to you.
I understand that even with government grants, the technology is still prohibitively high for most people. Be patient, the situation will change and the opportunity will present itself sooner than you think.
Following this positive news, the Guardian then reported, ‘Global warming: Bleaker and Bleaker. New figures show we are still hurtling towards dangerous climate change – at a time when policymakers are running out of ideas.
Sometimes a quotation really says it all. As chief economist of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol is not given to overstatement – so his comment in our paper today that the latest figures on greenhouse gas emissions are “the worst news” should be taken seriously. It is not just that the statistics showing another record leap in carbon output – 30.6 gigatonnes of CO2 over 2010 – to make the highest annual total in history are grim. They also come at a point when the old centrist certainties about how to tackle climate change are palpably out of date, and yet no new ideas have come along as replacement.’5
So what is the answer?
I have mentioned in several of my blogs, that a shift in vibration to our planet to a higher level in 2012, will bring great changes. These are already happening as we will see people taking charge of their lives and relying less on others. Current governments cannot solve this problem of climate change, as they do not act purely for the higher good – but we as responsible individuals can. Many feel despondent that we have failed, as the many natural disasters and statistics on climate change reveal the consequences of previous actions. However this is necessary. If you can imagine the planet with a huge boil which from infection becomes sore. Eventually the boil will burst. How violently it bursts depends on whether we treat the planet sensitively or subject it to further irritation.

So who can help us?
It is right that governments are helpless and have lost control of climate change. It is safe to say they never had control to begin with, for if they did, the current problem would not exist. The power is now with each and every one of us to bring about change and what has been forecast once again on our planet – to see Heaven on Earth.
How do we do this?
• Remember who you are. You are a divine being of God. This will bring you the self worth that you deserve.
• Congratulate yourself on what you have achieved. Only the strongest souls can cope with the challenges Earth presents. You have seen great change and everyone has played their part. This will bring you hope.
• Trust that you have enormous help from the Universe. Great angels, spirit guides, and other divine beings are assisting us all to achieve this. Ask for their help. This will bring you strength.
• Keep love in your heart. This will bring you peace and the will to act always for the greater good.
I was telling a friend about the subject of this week’s blog and he said excitedly, “Of course power is information.” I was reluctant to agree with him as many believe this, but for the wrong reason.
If we hold on to something we know in the hope it will secure wealth or the need to control, then no one will benefit. Give freely and freedom will stretch before you. Hold on to what you think is valuable and it will turn to dust, diminishing in the depths of a memory.
My friend in some respects was right. Information is power – but to give and not to keep. You could of course use your power now and pass on what I have freely given to you.
My picture above illustrates a poem I wrote called ‘Power’ and is taken from my book ‘The Sparky book of Hours.’ The picture showing the ant standing upon a walnut shows the scale of his authority. This reminds us that we in relation to our Earth and the Universe are even smaller still and to keep our feet firmly on the ground. If you would like to purchase 'The Sparky Book of Hours' you can do as both an eBook and as a hardback book via our website at:
