Magnum Force

Many of us aspire to be somewhere sometime and in pretty much all of our visions we want to be special: a movie star, a diva, an all-star, a CEO, a professor at a prestigious university, a famous spiritual author, enlightenment or whatever else it is that you consider special. The psychologists would say that this dream of yours may be as much as a compensation for the lack of inner security you have, as it is a desired expression of your creativity and vision. If you are truly creative, you will find an artistic outlet here and now in whatever job you have and you do not need to hide behind your fame or a title.

I took the title of this post from Client Eastwood's Dirty Harry movie - the ultimate male fantasy to dominate. Do you remember the size of his gun, the .44 Smith & Wesson Magnum? Fact of the matter is that you need  magnum force when you feel small inside, otherwise, why to carry this heavy weight around all the time. Take the other male fantasy, James Bond. Do you remember his pet weapon, his Walther PPK? How small and yet, how efficient and deadly it was in Bond's hands. James Bond is portrayed as the highly intelligent  and flexible force that always finds a way to cope with any situation. James Bond is the magnum force, he doesn't need to carry one. True, his  character is an infantile fantasy as well, but his story could also be a  reminder that if you truly face your environment and challenges here and now, this  magnum force will be with you. Let go of your fantasies and let go of all your idols and life will come your way and welcome you home as the force you were born to be - a spiritual giant.
