anybody else thinks sometimes the energy of his soul is to powerful for his body? especially directing at angels here. whenever my wings or heads or astral limbs were very clear and good to feel, i got nosebleeds. out of nowhere. so strong that i actually had to get…

That’s not quite how it works in the christian paradigm.  The christian paradigm works off of authority.  Sure, somewhere there is some “power” backing the authority, but a body does not need to contain the full charge to wield the authority.  Christ, as many of us believe it, was God manifesting as a human.  Christ was not bursting at the seems with godly power, but he DID have full authority to command things. 

And yet, Mark 5:25-34 seems to indicate that Christ was so bursting at the seams with godly power that merely touching his clothes was sufficient to heal a woman.  Mark 5:30 states “And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?”  In the original greek, the word translated as “virtue” was δύναμιν - literally, power.
