The power of the will #674701

In this book we will deal with a method of will development; first of all self-control, then the practice of mental influence at a distance on one or more persons, and finally the application of the methods of voluntary conditioning of destiny. The first effects result first in an impetus to mental initiative, then in a feeling of security, of 'power': one has the consciousness of being capable of willpower efforts. Gradually the mastery of self increases and soon the senses, the sensitivity, the intellect are oriented with the greatest satisfaction. Even independently of the direct telepsychic influence on others, it is evident that one has succeeded in learning to master oneself, to reason about one's impressions. A look that expresses determination, a precise speech conducted with judgement, a calm and energetic attitude, impresses greatly. The man will perform what he has planned in a manifestly active manner, with full attention to what he is doing, moving on to the next occupation at the appointed time, maintaining the same directive expressing the same will in all phases of his work.
