K=P, or P=K?

If knowledge equals power, the following question arises: in what field you desire power? Then you 'know' what you should know. What is that power representing to you? Is it based on ego or on supporting others? What if you stand in 'your power' knowing yourself and your purpose in life? Then the formula changes into P=K. Know yourself to understand others.

Both power and knowledge can expand. It needs us to do so. We can help others to do the same. But first we need to set the example. How can we show others that we practice what we preach? On the other hand - and teachers know this - the teacher is many times also the student. Knowledge expands in both directions. Good karma blesses both student as teacher. 

T=S=T, there we have it. Would that also be valid for K and P? K=P=K? I think so. Knowledge opens the door to personal power and that improves the gateways to collecting more knowledge. The P could also be replaced by Practice. By doing we learn. By learning we are invited to do more. Fact is humans are made to be the best version of themselves. Progress is a wonderful thing.
