Chapter 1 Developing Charisma-Mental Energy
This is a type of mental energy and the astral body it creates forms our "ego". In normal awareness and in our dreams this energy creates the "I" that we think we really are.
It is also associated with logic and reasoning ability in a creative manner. Developing this energy gives us the ability to focus and direct our thought processes in the direction we want them to go. We develop mental discipline when we acquire this energy. Normally our thoughts are random or follow a "flow of consciousness" pattern where one thought is connected through association to another thought which is in turn connected to another thought ...ect. This is a foundation of the "free association" school of psychology.
We mentally return to the goal that we are striving for whenever we get distracted. We focus on a particular subject. The way we develop this is participation in philosophical debates with other people. In these debates we are constantly trying to make a specific point and need to keep coming back to the subject at hand until our point has been made and clearly understood. At the same time the other person is trying to direct the debate in a way that will allow his point to be clearly understood. The mental agility and stamina needed in debates is very great.
The development of this energy helps us to become strong minded or strong willed and not easily swayed by another's opinion or distracted from our goal. We use this energy to think for ourselves.
The magnetic charm and appeal of this energy is to become highly opinionated and strong willed. This type of person has a very strong ego and insists upon learning and doing things his own way. Through force of will this type of person can change the outcome of "bad" dreams into "good" dreams. This person can also stick with a project and see it through to conclusion. This ability is vital in getting the things we want in life. People see this type of person as being confident and sure of themselves.
