the bottom line of life is, we can live in one of five dimensions: either as a receiver, this is like a child who sees the adult world as in charge, many adults still do for example studies show blacks want the government to provide for them… this of-course comes from a feeling of powerlessness; on the flipside we can see ourselves as powerful – "We create our own destiny…" this on one hand is healthy, you can also God-forbid be depressed, which is both powerlessness and hopeless; we can be spiritual, which means being in a relationship with God, and knowing we must work with, through Him! And finally we can be part of an ideology be it a religion, cult etc.
