Knowing Yourself.....in earnest

[Diana]

Integrity does not equate with egotism in my view...

The sort of power that controls, if that is what you mean, as there is the idea of empowerment which is different, derives I think from the perceived lack of control, hence the desire TO control. Integrity derives from self-knowledge, and desires no control at all, and just is, and drives action that flows from the authentic self.
