THE GETTING
OF WISDOM

E very so often you meet a person whos very different. You cant put your finger on what it is that attracts you to this individual, but he or she exudes a mystery and strength, radiating a silent power thats strange and beguiling.

What is this unseen force? Why do some have it and most do not? Here within these pages, Ill tell you about the power, its mystery, and how to get it. Theres a simple trick you have to learn. Once you have that, silent power becomes your unspoken credential. Its a charisma that gradually grows and develops around you. Through it you can express a special goodness that helps peopleand this planetto change for the better.

From your silent power comes flow; from that flow comes simplicity of heart; from simplicity of heart comes contentment.

Some people, such as martial arts masters, gain silent power over the years anyway. They do it via emotional control and physical discipline, which quiets their energy naturally. They exude an effortless strength. Physical exercise and discipline are valuable in developing silent power because they help you control the destructive side of the ego. But you need more than just a good physique and fitnessyou need awareness as well.

Now, a little hocus-pocus. It doesnt matter if you dont believe in hocus-pocus; the basis of this concept is real enough. You dont have to worry too much about technical details. Put the intellect aside, and cut to a technology that works. Thats my way.

Around you is an electromagnetic body of energy that is sometimes called the subtle body and is normally unseen by the naked eye. The ancient Greeks called it the etheric body. This is where the real you resides. Its also where your real feelings reside.

Imagine it to be a faint energy field, like a colorless mist. But, unlike a slow, wafting mist, the etheric is moving very, very quickly. Flashing through it are mini-lightning bolts of energy, and fingers of flamelike etheric sunbursts that shoot out from you in all directions. Underlying the flashes are great waves of rolling energy that move up and down and sometimes outward, tumbling and turning in response to emotion. You walk inside an amazing, glowing bubble of light that sometimes projects three to four feet away from you in every direction.

The etheric is fascinating and beautiful to watch. I find it very humblingthe secret human is all there to see, spiritually naked in his or her identity. In that vulnerability dwells the very essence of our human experiencepainted in the electromagnetic flashes, wisps, and lightning bolts that are projected from you.

In the etheric, you see how the human condition is complicated by the ego/personality, but you can have a deep compassion for it. For a human is not just a mind, a body, or an emotionit is light. The brilliance of that human light overshadows the personality traits and weaknesses that come from human frailty.

In the vitality of the light is the sacrosanct identity of the eternal spiritual being. The presence of this wonderful gift of the etheric body grants you a silent power as ancient as time. It is the spiritual heritage that flows from your connection to the God-Force.
