This source critiques the modern obsession with empowerment, characterizing it as an egoic compensation that humans use to mask feelings of helplessness and structural limitations. By contrasting the contemporary drive to command and control with ancient spiritual questions of participation and alignment, the text suggests that we often confuse psychological inflation with actual agency. The author argues for a return to proportion, a state of accuracy where individuals distinguish between what they can influence and what they must simply receive as reality. Ultimately, the text proposes that true clarity and sanity come from decentralizing the self and accepting our appropriate size within a larger, uncontrollable world.
