the ability to fool the minds of others—to dominate them on the massive scale that you speak of is not achieved best through raw power. manipulation is done through propelling events, or selected ones, into motion. it is done through teaching, through example, and through conviction. and the greatest of victories are not manipulations at all, but simply awakening others to the truth of what you believe—of hearing it echoed around you in life. but let us be silent… words and thoughts are distractions. feel this moment for as long as it will last. feel life as it is. with the crude matter stripped away.
