You already have all the power and competence you'll ever desire ,,, it's fundamental to understand that we're all powerful creators, that it's the non physical world that creates the physical world, all power and competence comes from within.

To give you a taste of what this means in your reality, just say to yourself regularly for the next few days "i'm a powerful creator" and note the outcome of what you feel. You'll gradually come to understand and realize the connection to unlimited power and energy,

To begin manifesting a more enlightened reality, center your energy on positive feelings and images of what an enlightened life is like for you, Describe fully in writing the lifestyle of your dreams that you wish to co-create, Read and practice it daily;

"You were born with wings, You are not meant for crawling, so don't, You have wings, Learn to use them and fly" - Rumi

Transform that beautiful caterpillar

into a beautiful being capable of flying

There are many detailed methods to fully accomplish enlightenment ,,, when you're really ready to get down to the nitty-gritty, try the Master Key System by Charles f. Haanel, it's long and grueling but well worth the effort :)

How do I successfully attract POWER AND COMPETENCE towards myself and embed these within so that I can achieve my earnest goals to help myself and take the world with me to the highest being?

Depends on how you define "power"; power has 2 meanings I would say... 1 is.. "I'm going to rule them with a iron fist!" Do you see that meaning in power?

But power meaning #2.. power for the lights.. empowered!

Are there ways of empowering oneself and attaining peace of heart, mind and soul?

Well, first off who said "empowering" yourself wasn't full of peace of heart, mind and soul? It's kind of a silly question :}

Here I'll tell you one thing when you die or you go back to the soul/creator.. many of us who die.. have some regret about our lives (not that we did it wrong! Can't do it wrong PERIOD) but sometimes we didn't listen to our heart, we didn't live for ourselves! We didn't empower ourselves we basically let everyone else tell us how to live our life and sometimes on our death we regret that.. is all :P

know the truth and the truth will set you free. as for the world each one as free will and are responsible of it. you can achieve as they can achieve if they make the choice and you make the choice. Do not be surprise at my saying no one can enter the kingdom of God with out being born of water and the spirit. stop focusing out side and start focusing inside. you are not from the world as I am not from the world. the kingdom of the peacemaker and the pure of heart is not from this world since every one that is in this world is in duality and division and do not remember where they come from and where they are going. they do not remember who send them to the world before coming in to being in this world. If they would they would not be in darkness and cast stone at each other and look for saw dust in their neighbor eyes they would first remove the log from their own eyes.

if you are truly willing and lead by the spirit it takes over 40 days to achieve.

The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.

But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

make thine eyes single, fix a spot in front of you that is not there.

clean the inside of the cup. remove that darkness from ignorance, division and evil that cause sufferance. know thyself and you will know other. lift up that stone and properly split that piece of wood and you will find me there.

drink the water,on the surface of the water you will see your self the light that you are,you where one and you become two what will you do? know your self until the water and the light become one again out of the duality and division.

when you overcome with out fear you can cross the last narrow door and go back above to the kingdom. With a pure heart you will see the holy father he will show you that you where in being before coming in to being, the one that send you to the world by your own choice will give you the choice again to stay above or to come back to the world. you have freewill since you are made in is image. you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

Be merciful with your neighbor since they do not know where they come from and where they are going, they cannot accept the truth, and no one is prophet in is country.

some will even say to you that you blaspheme by calling your self God son, and will want to stone you and kill you, they do not realize that they are making that division and stopping them self and all their brother and sister from entering.

You shut the kingdom of heaven against men" Scripture: Matthew 23:13-22

I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"

ye judge after the flesh I judge no man but if I judge my judgment is true. I am not the one that will judge you the word that I have spoken is what will judge you on the last day.

judge not and you will not be judge.

Let there be light, be the light that you can be, experience and enjoy.

You can do so with The Holy Spirit. That is the greatest empowerment you'll receive
