Why should I teach you to manipulate
other peoples' minds when it is so blatantly
immoral, and dangerous? The reason is that if I can expose the process, you will be in a
position to disarm the next person who tries it out on you. The privileged information you are about to learn has been known and
used by dictators, tyrants, bullies, and sociopaths for thousands
of years. But ordinary citizens have been kept in the dark.
Interested? You bet you are! Want to
know the secret of bending people to your will?
Who doesn't! But, be warned concerning the dangers of this supreme folly before
you enter the game of power.
Principle number one: Before you can
dominate others you must become a
victim yourself. Most likely you already
fulfill that requirement. Try to understand, it would be
impossible for anyone worthy of the name of
"human" to call up within himself the ruthless wickedness he would need in order to
destroy another person for the fun, power, and glory of it.
The necessary
ruthlessness would have to have been implanted in him
from some outside source by the person who destroyed his
original innocence. Only the extremely ambitious ones among us, those
sociopaths willing to trade their souls for power, possess that necessary
ruthlessness. And once they set out to gain more and
more power, they will feel called upon to become more and more ruthless, because power, to the unprincipled, is addicting.
