More importantly, knowledge is empowerment.

The best thing you can do to change your life and change the world is to learn things.

More than knowledge being power, it is the key to empowerment. The more you know, the more capable you become to gain control over multiple aspects of your life.

This is why so many of our “leaders” do whatever they can to disempower as many people as possible. Empowered people need less guidance and direction from outside influences like them. When you are empowered, you are taking control of your own destiny, so to speak.

Disinformation, telling lies, and passing horrid, inhuman laws are actions to cause conflict. Conflict further disempowers, because the collective consciousness tends to turn without for answers, rather than within. When we seek outside of ourselves for answers and allow others to tell us what to do, we disempower ourselves.

This is not the same as studying and learning things along the way. Reading books and blogs, studying science and humanities, provides perspective and insight. The takeaway is not giving away your power, in fact, it draws more into you.

This is not about looking to someone else to provide you with direction, it is about finding your own direction.
