Hi Nani!
I'll try to give you my take on this difficult to understand concept.
First, in our ego world, especially in the Western communities, we place great value in doing. When we think of power, we usually think of what we might do with it. I think what is described as subjective reality is the state called "non doing" which is taught in many spiritual diciplines. In Tolle's book, "The Power of Now", he is teaching that there is a greater power than any the ego can imagine- the power of just "being", which blows away the illusions of our daily lives. Can one use this power to do what one wants in this world? I do not know, from my experience. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that prayer works, that people can be healed psychically, that strong intentions can bring many desired consequences. For me, the jury is still out, but I like to think that we can will without ego filtering, and make the world a better place.
Namaste...sam
