We are all constantly experiencing the psychic influence of others as well as influencing others with our own psychic vibrations. Psychic influence happens all the time whether consciously or unconsciously. When we gain awareness of the workings of psychic influence, we will be able to engage it consciously instead of being unconsciously affected by it. Psychic influence has both offensive and defensive skills that we can use in this mental world we live in.
The mind is like a battery. It has a negative and positive polarity. The negative polarity is receptive to the flow of energy while the positive polarity is projective of energy. In the realm of psychic influence, when someone is receptive to the flow of energy, that person is negative. When someone is projective of energy, that person is positive. The positive is always stronger than the negative because the positive influences the negative.
People who are projective of energy have different levels of positivity. The one who is more positive is stronger in his influence over the one who is less positive. When two people of strong psychic influence meet, it is always the one who is more positive that wins. All psychic warfare is fight of will. The one who is able to exert his will more strongly will cause the will of the other to bend to his influence. It is not mere words but the force of will behind them that has power.
What is it that makes us accept and adopt the advice of one person while rejecting precisely the same advice from another person? It is force of will behind the advice. The power to command others lies in the force of will. The struggle of will is the struggle of psychic power. The person who forces his advice upon us has no more power to enforce it than others, but we do as requested because it is the nature of consciousness to submit to a stronger one.
Whenever two persons meet in business, or in any other relation in life, up to love-making, there is this subtle will-fight going on without consciousness of the struggle. It goes on between buyer and seller, doctor and patient, teacher and student. It is not tact which enables persons behind the counter to induce customers to buy what they did not intend to buy, and which bought brings no satisfaction, though it is linked for the effort to be successful.
It often takes years of the intimacy of married life to discover with whom of the pair the mastery of will really lies. Often the far stronger character, to all appearances, has to yield. The one with stronger character may not be deficient in will power, but he yields because he is able to go with the flow of non resistance, to overcome the hard with the soft. His intention is strong but he doesn’t always force things. Sometimes he chooses to let go and trust in a higher power to take over.
It depends on the character or will power of the person whether we accept or reject the advise given to us. The character depends little on the intellect and even moral qualities of the person, but on the strength of will. It requires strength of decision to overcome opposing influence when put to the test. There may be men who are more able and cleverer but it is the one possessed of will who rises to the surface at times of conflict. He has the power to make other men obey him.
In offensive psychic skill, there is an assertion of positive statement of your power and its effect. Assert that you are more positive than the other. Assert that your will is stronger than the other. Assert that the person is surrendering to you and becoming compliant to your wishes and directions. Assert that he or she is feeling your power and yielding to it. Do all the asserting within your own mind and thoughts.
In defensive psychic skill, there is an assertion of positive denial of the other person’s power and its effect. Deny the force of his psychic powers and imagine them to be nothingness. The purpose of denial is to neutralize the effect of his psychic forces over you. He may still have power over others but you render his forces powerless to affect you. Use positive denial when encountering someone who is apparently more positive than you to neutralize his effect. “I deny!” is the psychic shield of defense.
When combining offensive and defensive skills of psychic influence together, you assert your own power while denying the other person’s power. Assert than you are positive to the person and he is negative to you. He is unable to influence you the slightest while you can influence him easily. Then launch whatever mental commands you want him to obey. As in all battles, victory often goes to him who strikes the first hard blow.
Hold in your mind the thought that you are positive to others and they are negative to you. Positive as in directive, negative as in receptive. You are directive towards them and they are receptive towards you. You are able to affect and influence them according to your wishes but they are unable to affect or influence you at all. As you walk in the midst of others, hold in your mind the thought that your mental atmosphere is strong and positive.
When giving a mental command, make sure that the command is a real command, not just an appeal or a mere request. Assume the mental attitude of a master of men, a commander and ruler of other men. Assert mentally to the person commands such as “Here! Look at me!”, “Give me your undivided attention!”, “Come this way!”, “Come to me at once!”, “You like me, you like me very much!”, “You are afraid of me!”, “You wish to please me!”, “You will do as I tell you!”
Fear is an emotion that make someone very receptive to the psychic influence of another. Fearing someone’s power gives him power over us. The greater the belief and fear in someone’s power, the greater the susceptibility to his influence. Black magicians use fear as a means to gain power over others with their spells and hexes. When you disbelieve in their power and do not fear it, they have no power over you and their actions will be of no effect against you.
Awe is also an emotion that makes you very receptive to the psychic influence of another. Unlike fear, awe is a pleasant and desirable feeling. When you are in awe, you are taking in and appreciating the energy of the thing you are in awe with. That is why it is good to be in awe of God so as to be receptive to his divine influence. The awe of God is the beginning of wisdom. You also experience awe with another when you are in love. That is why being in love feels like losing control of yourself to another.
The best way to do psychic warfare is when the other person is unaware of it. Do not reveal what you are doing mentally or you will weaken your power to influence. The best attacks always come from the shadows. They are usually aware of some conflict going on but does not know the laws and principles of psychic force. That is when you are able to use them without facing as much resistance as one who knows. Only tell them your power if you can get them to believe and fear or be in awe of it.
Be aware of your own impulses at all times. When you feel like you are being conditioned to think and act in ways that are not beneficial or congruent with your intentions, reassert your own power in the situation. Deny the power of other forces to influence you and stay in control of your own mental and physical composure and mannerisms. A person with strong character holds all his psychic forces together and is able to act deliberately and consciously as he wills.
Psychic power like all other forms of power is neither good nor evil. All power is neutral and depends on the intent of the user that makes it good or evil. Like physical actions, all psychic actions will produce a corresponding effect whether it is harmful or empowering. It is important to use power in a responsible manner. When you know the strength of your desire and the purity of your intent, you can go ahead and use the will to influence.
