Knowledge is Not Power

It’s merely a component of power.

Knowledge is no more power than flour is a cake.

Flour, with other specific ingredients, combined in a specific order and manner and prepared in a particular way, results in a cake.

So it is with knowledge.

When you combine knowledge with other key ingredients, such as awareness, intention and action, you get power.

Power is the ability to make things happen, to move things, to overcome resistance.

Knowledge is critical to be sure, but by itself, it’s not power; it’s really just flour.
