Power comes with being with interactive existence with being alive. However, a review of a number of definitions and of several forms of power will provide an intuitive understanding of its essential meaning, which is all that is necessary to our mission. It is not our purpose here to untangle the web of power definitions. Power is a chameleon: it takes on the texture of its environment. Our confusion as to its exact definition more likely flows from the fact that power, depending on context and circumstance, assumes ubiquitous shapes and forms, varying degrees of transparency and visibility. Few, if any of us, doubt the reality of power and the tangible effects its application engenders. This is due mainly to the multifarious nature of power itself, rather than due to its unreality or ephemeral spirit. THE DEFINITIONS OF POWER are various and conflicting. From the book, Blueprint For Black Power.
