Competence is a measure of high personal emotional power. The higher my personal emotional power, the better I feel and the more competent I am.
Incompetence is the affect of low emotional power.
We each individually have sovereign authority to discern our own choices. When I defer my sovereign authority, I give away my emotional power and my competence is compromised.
When the sovereignty of the people is compromised within a society, everyone’s competence is depleted, irrespective of their level of mental capacity or physical capability. In such an emotionally incompetent society, people compete for emotional energy and compete for competence.
Once I realise that competence is complicit with the capacity of sovereign choice, there is no necessity to compete for emotional competence with other people. I am only ever in competition with myself to be competent. When I express any level of incompetence, I lose the competition because I have lost my competence.
Choosing the discernment of one’s own sovereign authority is both mentally inspired and emotionally empowered.
A society which teaches mental capacity, without emotional competence, promotes competition for emotional power. In the absence of competent emotional power, money and status become a poor substitute.
People rise, or are elected, to positions of authority, without either the mental capacity or the emotional competence to make wise choices for other people. Indeed, making choices for other people is never wise. Those who are invested with the authority to make choices for other people, already know this.
Solomon, as a King, had Sovereign Authority over his Subjects; yet although he appeared to be wise, he was equally fallible. The wisdom of King Solomon is an oxymoron without the personal competence to intuitively choose it.
There are four levels of competence:
The first level is unconscious incompetence, which is the default level in our current society. As unconscious incompetence is by definition unconscious, most people are unaware of being at this level of incompetence. Without the awareness of emotional intelligence, their emotional competence is confused with their mental capacity. The more intellectually capable we are, the more intuitively incompetent we become. It requires a level of rational intellect, as well as the emotional intelligence of intuitive awareness, to consciously identify our own level of incompetence; even when we are intuitively aware of other people’s incompetence.
Level two competence is attained when one becomes aware of our own incompetence. It is only when I become conscious of my own incompetence that I am able to move to the third level of conscious competence. This is the ability to develop the personal emotional power to consciously make my own wise sovereign choices.
Only once I have attained level three conscious competence, do I become aware of the highest level of competence, which is the unconscious competence of being able to make wise choices without even thinking about it. When my competence flows unconsciously, I have attained the highest capability of my mental capacity to intuitively make wise sovereign choices for my Self, with certainty.
