The Spider and the Green Butterfly
Whether they consciously accept it or not, every
living thing is affected by the aura of others. If you stand
near someone who is suffering with severe depression,
within minutes you will begin to feel the same. If you
spent time with a person who has high enthusiasm and
charisma, you will find yourself being swept away in their
personality and ideas. In fact, energetic manipulation is
just charisma that has been narrowly focused and expressed
as subtly as possible. With such restraint of expression
coupled with the radiance of such charisma, every minute
gesture, smile, or gaze brings the observer's full attention
to the intended object of the manipulator. One word
whispered can cause a man to lay down his life. A few
words, shouted at the right time in the right manner,
preceded and succeeded with silence can incite a holocaust.
Franz also spoke of autosuggestion, a technique that
has been prevalent in curing mainly illnesses of the
personality, morals, and the social standing of the "patient."
Autosuggestion, as it has come to be understood presently,
is the ability of either another person or of oneself to place
in the subconscious mind a specific goal, whether its
eventual affect is internal or external, through conscious
affirmations and suggestions. Libraries of books that have
been written about the secrets of the power of God have
been revealed, and so it is supposed that all you should
need to do is to really believe that your circumstances will
change, and since God wants nothing but the best for you,
he will answer to your faithful plea. This is honestly a very
sad thing to witness, because it is rarely a philosophy that is
practiced or even acknowledged by those who are in power,
in success, in positions of wealth, fortune, and influence. It
is instead the new spiritual hope for those who do not have
money, who lack love in so many forms, who are driven
into hysteria by their lack of control over their own affairs.
Yet, they force a smile and they "Truly Believe," or
"Assuredly Know," that things are going to change for
them.
The mighty do not wait on God, nor do they have
any care for "God's Time," "God's Plan," or "God's Will."
Instead, they take action and bring about their own
kingdom on earth, and if they can solidify it enough in their
own spiritual will, they will thrust that kingdom into
Heaven as well!
Again, this is not the autosuggestion to which Franz
Mesmer was referring.
Autosuggestion. Auto Suggestion. Automatic
Suggestion. Suggestion not requiring any external means
of delivery. Suggestion which is capable of delivering itself
- automatically.
Having developed a larger spiritual envelope around
yourself, both through the practical application of the
Works given in this text, as well as through constant
communion and attunement with the Loa, and specifically
with your own Met Tet, it is then your task to learn to
narrow this envelope, to direct it as you will, rather than
being subject to its will. If you need to gain a more
concrete connection with your psychic self and with this
envelope of which I speak, open the Veve that was used for
the consecration of the chicken bones, given below,
between a black and a red candle, every Saturday at ten o-
clock at night, for the entire tenth hour, your power
multiplying with each repetition.
