Snatching Other Peoples Magnetic Streams
by

Translated by Bjarne S. Pedersen
You now know that what primarily counts in creating the personal magnetism is storing the spiritual streams which daily move within us and make us give into fleshly as well as mental desires, in form of temptations and wishes of different kinds. - These so-called wishing streams should be oppressed by keeping them back and stay unsatisfied, and by doing so - and only by doing so - we come to a point where we may charge our magnetic battery with so much condensed spiritual force, that it will be a fountain of energy and vitality we can use in the moments where we really need it. -
You will have noticed that I often use expressions such as: “spiritual steams” - “power streams” - “radiation” etc. etc. and you will probably assume that these expressions cover what we normally call energy. And you are partly right. It is the universal energy - the powercenter of nature with its radiating, driving and moving energy - I am talking about much more than the various ways in which it manifests. - It is often said about a man with industrious assiduity that he is energetic, but what we here call energy is more of a physical kind in the spiritual streams that drive him forward. - Energy is something which is - it is the very core from where every kind of force springs. - It is something we all contain to a greater or lesser extend. - It can be condensed to a concentrated power, whose physical manifestation will cause a great deal of work to be done - give initiative and action. But it can also be divided and spread, and we are then talking about being very little energetic, with a weak will and very little accomplished work. - The different physical ways in which the strength of the energy manifests, may appropriately be compared to the needle of the vacuum-meter on a steam-kettle, which shows the pressure inside of it. -
Energy is the source of movement - it is the spring for all movement. By not satisfying a wish we actually resist a movement, and consciously keep the stream back and contains it as saved energy: respectively: concentration - stored wishing force. - But if we yield to the wish we spread the energy instead of storing it in a concentrated form. But as I said before, energy is something which is, that is to say, it will not stop existing just because it is spread out. - It will simply be attracted to a stronger energy. - And it is of this we shall speak in a more popular form. ---
You have probably met people with this perculiar attractive and magnetic power over others, but not thought any deeper about it. But when you think about it, you will probably remember that you have known such a man (or woman), whose personal influence left such a strong impression on you, that he was the focus of your thoughts for a long period afterwards. - There was something with this person which you were not able to explain in words. - Actually he did not do anything special to awake interest about his person. On the contrary, his behavior was quite faultless, not boasting at all. He did not butt in or acted challenging, but was very polite and modest. His attractive being affected everybody with whom he got in touch - and you also, so you had a hard time detaching yourself from him. - And how was it? Wasn´t it as if he could read your thoughts and express them even before you had spoken them? - And how he made you talk about everything which were on your heart. It was as if he influenced you with a magical power and made you open your mind and tell him things with out any restriction, and that despite that it was things which you really did not want to talk about.
- Afterwards, when you were alone, you would feel a little upset about your own behavior, since you felt that what you had told him, must have sounded strange to him, yes - even nonsense. And what did he tell you? - Actually nothing of perculiar importance, did he? - He just let you talk while he was reserved and expecting. -
If you felt worried or depressed you would soon see things more lightly when being in the presence of this man. Sorrows and regrets were taken from you as by magic, and you soon felt cheerful and happy. You would only be too glad if he demanded something of you, in which you might serve him. - As a matter of fact he could get you to do whatever he wanted - as long as it does not conflict with your moral principles or surpasses your abilities. - You were ready - yes, almost eager - to fulfill each of his wishes; he only needed to speak them. -
You happily approved of his suggestions and ideas and eagerly participated in forming his oppinions. You felt honored by the open heartedness he showed you by letting you know of his interests, and you would rejoice with him when something succeded for him, but also worry on his behalf when something did not work out. Shortly: His powers were great, and you felt it. - His personal influence were far superior to yours and that is why his magnetic streams influenced you. You may frankly say that he stole your magnetic streams. His magnetic streams attracted and absorbed these streams into his battery, with the result that his personal magnetism was strengthened even more. -
The positive force met its counterpart here and it was you - according to the laws of cause and effect - as the weaker part, were attracted and controlled by the stronger. - I can not tell you why it is so, but I must admit that it is a strange natural law that he who has less shall give the little he has, to him who has more. It had been more fair if it was the other way around. But this law also, seen in greater perspective, must have a deeper significance also. -
It is possible to snatch - and absorb in our magnetic battery - the magnetic streams of other people. - It sounds fantastic, but each day we give and recieve these spiritual streams without having the slightest idea that it is so, and no less, no control over it. - Whether we are the giving or recieving part is determined by the strength of our personal magnetism. -
You know for yourself, don´t you, that feeling of spiritual poverty that appears when you confront a person whose will-power and personal influence is stronger than yours. - You may strive to show determination and self-security in your behavior, but you can not avoid feeling the certain defeat drawing closer. You become the smaller, while he, as the strong will, takes command and controls you. - It feels like small invisible electrical sparks flow from him to you and back again, bringing something back to him which you had - something which felt like a conscious personal strenght, but which now, by leaving you, leaves you with a feeling of spiritual nakedness. -
Now we turn the picture and imagines that you are the person with the strong will. You confront another person, looks at him as I have instructed you, and whether you think about influencing him or not, he is caught by you power of attraction; for the mere presence of your person - and without you having to say a single word - is sufficient to draw him into the sphere of your personal influence. -
We know from electro-magnetism that a strong magnetic field always must and will influence a weaker magnetic field. It is approximately the same which happens here. Your will is stronger than his, and therefore he is attracted to you and his magnetic streams are moving over to you. -
The strong become stronger and the weak weaker. -
If you have a specific pretext for addressing a person, then speak friendly and understanding to him - preferably about unimportant things - and then try to be really nice towards him. You will see that not many minutes elapse before he starts opening his heart to you - and may even trust you with his most intimate secrets - and by this the road is prepared for your influence. - If you have progressed so far that he is weakening his personal magnetism through his speech, while you isolate your knowledge through an appropriate silence, it should be rather easy for you to influence him in the wished direction. - While firmly focussing your eyes on the root of his nose, you must clearly form the thoughts about what you want him to do for you, and then will and wish strongly that he will do what you are thinking. -
You must of course expect success and not allow doubt to sneak in and destroy it all. To doubt a thing is the same as chasing away any possibility of a good result. Try to train yourself to thinking that nothing is impossible for you and you will see that everything will form itself in a happy direction. -
Now you must not expect to be able to influence everybody - when and where ever you want - to do what you wish. Like everything else this has a limit. But with certain moral and physiological considerations taken into account, you will none the less be surprissed to see how many people you may actually control and make obey you. - People will do many things for you without knowing that you, by this invisible way, have asked them to do so. -
What I have been talking about in this chapter is actually pure intuition. This ability, as you develop your personal magnetism, will be very marked in you. - Instinctively you will sense the thoughts, moods and emotions filling the person you are addressing. - It is as if they are transfered to you - as if his magnetic streams, which you absorb in yourself, contains something of that which he is thinking. --- Founded on the impressions you recive by this sense, it would be comparatively easy for you to make the right decisions and dispositions. -
But how then if the person you confront is of greater education, experience, will-power, selfcontrol - in short: whose personal magnetism you feel is superior to yours in spiritual strength? Are there not a danger that he will be controlling you - be influenced by him in some direction - or that your magnetic battery will be discharged? - No, for the conscious applied personal magnetism is a greater power than the magnetism which is unconsciously used by its owner. To be aware of ones own psychic strength is an unconditioned power at all times and isolates us from all foreign interference. - But if there is a possibility that you are suffering defeat, you only need to say the following self-suggestions: “I will not be controlled by this person.” - “Nobody can influence me against my will.” - “I am the victorious - my influence is stronger than his.” etc. etc. and you will not be influenced by his personal magnetism, while you, on the other hand, has all the possibilities of influencing him. ---
