Exclusive excerpt from Isaiah McGee’s new book, Sourcing Power…

Chapter 5: Unrestricted Capacity of Power

The Illusion of Difficulty: How Perception Dictates Possibility

As discussed in Chapter 2, the propaganda of the senses conditions us to perceive possibilities through the lens of degrees of difficulty, filtering everything through societal standards and ingrained assumptions.

Sense perception dictates what is considered easy or difficult to fulfill, accomplish, or manifest—based on external, subjective parameters.

This erroneous feedback loop (Review Chapter 3, “Reversing the Communication Loop”) unnecessarily governs progress, as conditions and circumstances tend to synchronize with one’s perception of difficulty.

Let’s be clear—consciously, everyone desires ease in achieving their goals. However, the subconscious mind—the true engine of unfoldment—has been programmed by standardized restrictive assumptions that dictate perceived limitations.

These assumptions are self-fulfilling because they reinforce their own influence, shaping external conditions to match the false premise of difficulty.

The True, Unconditioned Nature of Power

Why is an ant able to lift 100 times its body weight?

Imagine if an ant were conditioned by generational beliefs—if ant parents warned it about what is possible or not, or if ant society imposed limitations through inherited assumptions about strength. The ant, too, would experience self-imposed restrictions and artificial limits on its capacity.

This example, though tongue-in-cheek, underscores a critical reality: perceived limitations are not inherent, they are imposed. 

The parameters of possibility are not dictated by truth, but by mentally influenced conditioning and baseless societal assumptions.

The ant lifts 100 times its weight not because it possesses a unique gift, but because it has not absorbed restrictive programming. It simply aligns with nature’s unconditioned capacity.

Releasing Mental Restrictions on Possibility

Everything that triggers doubt about your ability to fulfill a goal, satisfy a need, or manifest an outcome is not due to any true limitation of the desire itself—it is solely the byproduct of mental programming imposing false constraints.

The good news? You can shift this just as easily as deciding what socks to wear today. The moment you consciously choose to release restrictive mental programming, conditions will respond accordingly.

Mind is the sole determinant of reality—when recognized as an independent volition, independent from any historical, chronic, or present circumstances.

Humans did not create power—power created humans. When sourced from this awareness, power has no inherent subjective limitations—only those imposed by conditioned perception.

Stepping Beyond the Illusion of Limitation

The only thing standing between you and the full expression of your power is mentally influenced conditioning—a set of assumptions that were never true to begin with. Power has never been about effort, struggle, or permission; it has always been about availability.

When you recognize that possibility is not determined by external conditions but by your own perception, you reclaim your ability to move beyond inherited limitations. Just as the ant lifts beyond what logic would dictate, you too are built to function beyond assumed constraints.

The moment you stop measuring possibility through the lens of difficulty and instead align with the unconditioned capacity of Life itself, you cease seeking power and start expressing it. The power to create, transform, and fulfill has never been outside of you—it is you.
