The Nature of Power as a Psychic Trap (Part IV)
This is the trap: even when we resist power, we often do so using the same patterns, assumptions, and structures that power imposes on us. We think we’re breaking free, but in reality, we’re still operating within the logic that power has ingrained in us—fighting on its terms, using its language, and reinforcing its grip on our thinking and behavior.
