Strength Essence

The Strength aspect of Essence typically emerges initially connected with issues other than separation. The issue of weakness often precipitates it; the absence of Strength is felt as an emptiness or deficiency with the aspect of weakness. The weakness is felt on all levels: the physical, energetic and ego levels. (The Pearl Beyond Price, pg 208)

Strength Essence and Personal Essence

First, this essential aspect must be realized in a permanent way if the Personal Essence itself is going to be realized and developed. It is the motivating force and fuel for the process of individuation, and hence is indispensable for it. (The Pearl Beyond Price, pg 215)

Strength Essence and separation

The issues and the conflicts around the Strength aspect include all the usual issues and conflicts related to the ego process of separation. However, there is a level of issues and questions not encountered when dealing only with the emotional ego level. For instance, the separation is not really between self and mother representations; that would merely be the separation of one image from another, and this is not enough for essential development. Ultimately, separation is from ego, from representations of past object relations, from identifications. This separation is what we have called before disidentification, a condition needed to look at identifications systems in an objective manner necessary for the process of psychic metabolism. This condition is connected with the understanding of this aspect in its relation to the Diamond Guidance. (The Pearl Beyond Price, pg 215)

Strength of Being

When present it infuses the organism with an innate strength that affects all levels of functioning. It gives the organism the sense of capacity, of the ability to exercise any of its functions. Its effect is to expand the capacity of the organism so that all its functions, at all levels, the physical, emotional and Being - are strengthened. Thus it aids the processes of separation and of essential development. It is the fire for it, the fuel that keeps it going. (The Pearl Beyond Price, pg 212)
