Embodied in the image of the ideal is the dynamism between empowerment and conformity. In the sphere of conformism the masses become a "collective coercion of bodies". Thus the State possessed the mind in order to possess the body. Human beings, therefore, are consenting agents, since the body has been shaped or as the French philosopher Michel Foucault would explain “in the form of habits and behaviors… the body [is] subjected to training.” This training often occurs without conscious knowledge, or even if one has knowledge, the practice remains because of its beneficial ordering qualities to the larger society as a whole. Furthermore, the more the individual involuntarily conforms to the will of the State, the more docile he becomes due to the "formation of a relationship which in the mechanism itself makes him more obedient as he becomes more useful, and vice versa". it becomes difficult because we tend to create a duality again in which power becomes the negative force in a dualism of good versus evil. The point is not that power is moral, but rather that it is prevalent, so much so that there is no way to escape it. This exposition, therefore, is a mere statement of where the power lies (which is often in the hands of the State), but the power will continue to exist, whether or not it remains with the State, the power could be compared to the law of conservation. of energy because power, like energy, is never destroyed but rather continually transferred in an infinite cycle in which a “binary… of the powerless and the powerful… struggles to gain more power as delineated by the movement from first to second, resulting a simple reversal of the previous formation”.
