How do you define power?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 24, 2009:
Two definitions:
For human society power is how much space one can push one's ideas, opinions, and judgments into. One has others looking at one's creation in a given area. This effect can be anything from Microsoft to war, to baking brownies for the county fair. The goal is to be seen, for one's creations to be seen. In the case of war one enforces being seen. Where enforcement enters in power gets a bad name. But the idea is, if others look at us they are creating and perputuating us.
For spirit power is how far one can see. We create by looking so our power exists in conscious creation. The more one knows one is creating, the greater the area one sees and understands. This is a looking out process instead of a being looked at process.
Neither is "wrong", my opinion. But where one exists as a body there are a lot of seeming threats. A little perspective, as in creating more consciously, might not be a bad idea.
