We're never quite so powerful as we feel, in this free state," she whispered in the rushing wind. "Because our usual bodies are left behind, and our moving mind complexes can draw only upon the chance energies that they happen to grasp from the atoms of the air or other substances we possess, by the linkage of probability. All our power lies in that control of probability, and we must strike where it will serve.
The quote reflects on the nature of power and the limitations of our perceived strength, especially in a state of freedom. The speaker suggests that while we may feel free and powerful, we are still bound by the constraints of our physical bodies, which we leave behind. Our ability to influence and utilize energy is not entirely ours; instead, it depends on external factors and the randomness of the world around us. This emphasizes the idea that true power comes from understanding and controlling the probabilities that govern our experiences.
