What is the intent of telling a tale of power? I ask as someone not familiar with Carlo's books. I only learned about them less than a year ago. I
picked up a couple and have been trying to read them but not gotten very far I am afraid. I picked them up to be able to better understand the abstract and
language used in different forums that I discovered well just short of a year ago now and before learning of Carlo's books. I have really much more
enjoyed learning from the forums though, something much more satisfying interacting with others rather than reading old words. Maybe that just a laziness on
my part I know. I wanted to say all that first because I know that question could sound very loaded, challenging not what I wanted to convey. Question is
just to get a better understanding of the concept.
So why do we share tales of power? Is there something to be gained? I would think so because any relating requires at least a little energy.
Really pretty much anything anyone posts can be perceived as boasting. Any experience shared can have that quality of "look at me, look at what happened
to me." Depends on the person received as to what they perceive. What causes that perception to see boasting in another? (Okay I know now that question
is a loaded one LOL)
