I should point out that I made my initial post when I was feeling pretty bummed. Now that I'm less bummed (nothing regarding you, you've been a very pleasant distraction xD), I very much appreciate what you said about being able to be in power while desiring happiness. There's certainly a human component to power. By the way, I know what you mention about shifting too far. You wind up very detached from the tonal which makes life more a struggle. It's fascinating to read you've been there too.

Jokes are what I use too, in order to re-ground myself. That's interesting we both appreciate that. I suppose if we've been seen the other side then we understand most everything which occurs here in the tonal is humorous--I mean, it's so petty on the tonal side of life. The nagual would find that very humorous I'm glad you went the funny route. I've admired that trait in JJ too. Being able to laugh is one of my greatest joys--a reminder that life doesn't have to be so heavy.

I wanted to answer your initial inquiry you asked me previously. The way to attract those who are loyal to you are to serve them. If you offer people tonal gifts to be your friend (physical gifts or energetic gifts such as attention) then that's one sort of engagement. Now, if you give spiritual gifts that's where the better forms of loyalty reside. To be served, one must serve. To serve others, even for the most powerful, indicates a humbleness and respect for another. The spirit knows who is serving us and responds in kind. Not everyone will be capable of returning to us what we provide to them. We shouldn't expect to receive. We give where we can and do what we can afford--we respect ourselves so that we can serve everyone. That's when gifts settle deeper. You gain loyalty with powerful allies by being one for others. Many serve the self and while that offers one form of power--others sense this spiritual intent either consciously or subconsciously.
