Influence is energy in flow.
Influential energy in flow is called thought, thinking, belief, opinion or conviction, when it is given as advice that constitutes a choice of authority. Authority is influence in flow. When I flow with a thought, I give that thought the authority of my choice.
Flow has polarity, which can be a forward, positive, expansive direction or a backward, negative, contractive direction. Influence is therefore, beneficial or detrimental relative to individual perspective. Influence is just thought energy in flow until a personal perspective gives it polarity as a direction. An individual perspective and an Individual’s perspective can both be either a positive or a negative influence.
It is perspective that determines belief, opinion, conviction and the polarity of influence. As well as flowing backwards & forwards between Individuals, influence also flows in & out of each of us individually.
The flow of authority is always a choice. I can choose the influence of an authority that flows into me from the outside world or I can choose the influence of the authority that flows from within me and through me out into my external world.
I can choose the influence of my own belief system, choose the influence of another’s belief system, or I can choose the influence of my intuitively faithful inner guidance system.
Influence is the energy on which I base my choices. The influence of other people advises me to make their choices, my choices. The influence of my own sub-conscious programming motivates me to meet whatever I need emotionally. The influence of my conscience advises me to do what I believe is good & right. The influence of my super-conscious Soul is my Inner Guidance System.
I can consciously express my egotistical influence with pride & arrogance or I can be a confidently guided influence with the balance & harmony of my own integrity. Being Influential is being in alignment with my highest choice of wisdom for my Self.
Being intuitively connected with the Inner Guided Influence of my Soul, I am never under the influence of anything in the external world, ever.
