Hmmm. I would respond to you that framing this in terms of power might be hitting beside the mark. Of course, what you type is true in one sense, but the weight of that perspective is on a reference back to the illusion. My guess is that Q'uo's bias is more in favour of 3D entities moving into a place of neutral centeredness rather than a place of deliberate power in the sense of defensiveness.
Maybe that's too fine a point, but it seems an important one to me: when finding one's footing in eternity, what role does power have to play? In that context, how does the use of personal/impersonal power relate to the Law of One?
PS: Changing "cannot" to "shall not" strikes me as putting more emphasis on personal challenge and power than does the original word choice.
