Could it be possible that "Power" is not everything its cracked up to
be? Perhaps voltage alone might be enough to serve some useful purpose.
Remember that voltage means electric field which means structure or
form. Consider this; where did the "power" come from to create the
universe? For power to work it has to 'flow' from one place to another.
Until the universe self-generated out of a singularity, there was no
separation of 'place' for this to happen.

By the way, this mention of universe beginning or 'first cause' is not
just incidental. Its not some long ago event isloated from the situation
at hand. It is FUNDAMENTAL AND STILL OCCURRING IN EVERY ACTION.
