Storing The Wishing Power
by
Charles Evert
Translated by Bjarne S. Pedersen

Here I will instruct you in a few practical things which I know that you can do and which is not without reach from what anybody may do. I will cut through the secrecy which veils the personal magnetism and tell you straight forward what you should do to store so large quantities of the personal magnetism that any one who come into contact with you, will be attracted and controlled by you to a greater or lesser extend. -

I presume that you have understood from the previous chapters that to be magnetic does not imply that electrical sparks will pop from our eyes and fingertips, but is related to a pure spiritual nature. -

The wish is the father of thoughts, i.e. the wish is the source of the thought. Doesn’t all thoughts spring from a wish in you? - Thought are born in our brain and the wish is their father. -

From the wishing force inspiration appear, which is the mark of the works of poets, artists and inventors. People say about them, that they are blessed by the gods. - Yes, I suppose that the power must have a source. Is it given to us by nature or does it come from the influence of a stronger power? -

The inner nature of the wishing power we know nothing about. We only know that it is abundantly present in all of us and that it works through us allof our lives as a desire demanding satisfaction. -

The wish may be of a conscious nature, so we feel inclined to satisfy it; but it can also be of a subconscious nature without the control of our will. Then it may happen that it - like a strong desire - explode so violently that it make us do things which our good conscience not always agree with - yes it may even be to our harm or produce bad moods. Then we say that we acted unconsciously - from a sudden impulse.-

No matter what the wish is, it is a spiritual stream with a mighty force, and it is exactly that force which the magnetic person use to influence others. -

In the wishing force there is the good and the bad, i.e. the creative and the destructive forces, and there is a constant unconscious struggle between these two counterparts. We shall only treat the good and positive side here. You will learn to attract and store the streams contained in the wish in your spiritual battery, so that you at any time will be ready and armed to fight and conquer the destructive force when they attack you. -

When we consider the spiritual streams which daily affects us in the form of different mental conditions, as for instance envy - hatred - lies - treason - anger - jealousy - injustice - egotism - slander - unmerciful conduct - wonder - lust for power - vanity - curiosity - and many many others, you will understand that the force from which the wish springs, is present in all of us. It is all these human misfits which you shall seek to combat, by avoiding to satisfy your wish by destructive tendencies. - It is a matter of keeping the wish-power back and storing it in your battery. -

The wish is a real force whose right application - or wrong application - is a determining factor for our physical and moral welfare. -

If you have understood how, by each unsatisfied wish, a force is attracted which creates the personal magnetism, you will soon discover how your own spirit contains a well from which you may daily pour. For the wish is always present in us, isn’t it? - Besides being, as previously stated, in the form of different mental states, it may also appear in more active forms, as for instance when we gratify it by doing - or avoid doing - certain things. But under all circumstances it is a matter of not giving in to the wish and satisfy the desire contrary to the control of the will, for thereby the force vanish from us and our magnetic abilities are weakened - that force which we should economize and store for later use - for greater and more useful purposes. -

We can talk about negative and positive results of the wishing force. The negative are when we yield to a wish by satisfying it. In this process we let go of spiritual powerstreams which means that our ability of attracting is lessened. -

The positive results are known thereby that the will is asked prior and the wish consciously kept back and remains ungratified. By doing so we attract the forces and loads our battery with spiritual powerstreams. And the more we store of this energy, the stronger our personal influence and ability to attract will become. -

You must therefore learn to be the master of these spiritual streams which inhabits the wish - learn to conquer and use them for your own benefit, and not give into them by inconsideration and be their slave. -

The wishing power can be compared to a wild untamed horse, which, without bit, bridle or spurs run about on its own and creates disaster. But the moment you are in the saddle and has a firm grip of the bridle and the spurs in its side, you are in command of the horse and has the ability to direct it where ever you want. -

The wishing force is like a two-edged sword - creative and full of life - and destructive and physically and morally devastating. - The last is confirmed in a scary way by the mean habits and sick inclinations people are tormented by. Thousands look with fear towards the day when they must yield to the destructive power of the habit or the compulsive thought. They feel that a force is inside them which is stronger than themselves - stronger than their conscious Self - drives them to satisfy the desire and do exactly what they do not want to do. - If they knew that the spiritual streams which drove them to yield to their habits is the self-same streams, which as a force may be used to kill the bad tendency, the certain cure would be well on the way for them. -

And what then is this bad habit else than a misconception of something which in fact is not there. You can call it a kind of compulsory thought, a spiritual obstruction to our normal way of life. It is not our body which hungers for the attention, but a stream of wishing power inside us which hungers for the bodily recognition that it is stronger than our conscious will. - We should remember that each time we yield to a habit it gains strength, the very same law as in the case of the creative side. -

Let me give an example to show what I mean. Let us take the mastubator: He feels that his nerves and muscles are affected by the wishes irresistible influence and the acts to satisfy the desires follows immediately after. - He imagines himself into a world of shadows where self-created hallucinations bring about images of the other sex. By repetition the force of this wish gains more and more strength and in time will rule him to an extend where he finds this act so desirable that the natural sex-life will seem unnatural and humiliating to him. -

This was an example of a weak will. The setting aside of the will set the wishing force free and made it victories. - The force which would have been gained by not fulfilling the desire, would no doubt have strengthened his will. The sting of the wish would have been taken away from it and the desire would have been defeated. And by each repeated act of rejecting the wishing force, the will grows stronger while the desire gets weaker. - This is true for habits of all kinds. -

Habits must be fought by their own weapon. It is exactly the same force as lies in the negative wish and drives us to satisfy it, which we should use to combat our spiritual fragility. -

We must therefore not let the power-streams which is in the wish, be lost by satisfying the wish, but contain it within ourselves by letting the desire stay unsatisfied. - Any wish which is not carried out and stays unsatisfied by a conscious act, means a saving - a storing of spiritual power-streams in our magnetic battery, with the result of strengthening our will-power. We increase our magnetic sense thereby and gain greater personal influence and power. -

It has often be said that no one can do more to put an end to a bad habit than the person himself. This of course is true; but the method of doing it is unfortunately unknown to most people. It is a fault to believe that all there is needed is to say: “I will not do this”, for how many have not tried this by will, but only found that the habit grew stronger. - In this way the will is easily coming into conflict with the desire and is going to be the loosing part. -

Many will say: “It is easy enough to say that we should put aside a habit, but damn hard to do it.” - But I can assure you that if only once you have rejected satisfying the desire with luck, the rest will be quite easy. This is an increase of power and in this way you strengthen the will and is far better equipped next time you have to fight against the habit, showing to claim its satisfaction. - You will be able to feel bodily that you attract and store this force within you, thereby that a pleasant feeling of self-security and trust will govern you. “And what then is the meaning of this instruction of saving the wishing power”, you will ask. “May I not at all have any wishes and secret thoughts, which I can strive to satisfy?” - Yes you may. You should exactly have a lot of great and bright wishes, but they shall all of them be under the control of your conscious will (Intellectual will. Reason.), and not just uncontrollable negative wishing streams. - You have to wish - and wish strongly, what you will, whether it is a thing you want to own or a goal you want to accomplish. - And the strange thing - I am tempted to say: the magical thing - with this teaching is that your positively willed wishes sooner or later is accomplished, and that without you having to do anything extraordinary to that end. - The many unsatisfied wishes which you will have stored after a while, will act as a condensed magnetic force and attract such things - goals - etc. which you desire in your conscious willed wish. But we shall talk about this later. For now we shall own concern ourselves with the wish as the power-source from which you may daily pour. -

Since this chapter about storing the wishing power is incredibly important to you, it is necessary to approach the subject slowly and outline the parts of the wishing force which may pull your leg.

The wish in its negative form may often be difficult to recognize, since it is moving in the strangest disguises and appears so spontaneously that we unconsciously is led to satisfy it without knowing so. - Let us for instance take such a result of the wishing force as:

Vanity

“Well, hell - it is hardly harmful to look good” you will say. No, of course not. But vanity is something more as you shall see. It is the human weakness which in the long run is decreasing personality the most. -

The wish of constantly drawing attention to ones person is the special mark of vanity. I am sure you know the type of man (or woman) who always prefer to talk about himself - how he would do it - how he has succeeded etc. All of his bragging conduct clearly suggests to us that this man is one to be noticed and admired for his “great unselfish deeds”. It is a kind of self-worship. These people talk so much about themselves that their self-admiration is ringing in our ears. We are to believe that he is a hell of a man.

But empty barrels makes greater noise, some say, and in fact they are individuals with a weak will, who would presumably be less proud is they knew what we really think of them. At the highest we have an overbearing smile and a shrug of the shoulders for them, haven’t we. -

It is certain that the magnetic sense is weakened by talking about oneself or of the knowledge we possess, while it is strengthened and contained by an appropriate silence. - Not said thereby that you should walk about mute and looking serious, which others would find to signal that you are angry and in a bad mood. It would only be an advantage to you if you were a good speaker, since it is an evidence of energy and self-security in you. But speech is silver and silence gold, we say, and we can not disregard that silence in many cases can be very useful to us. - As in the case of passing on some news by telling it to a person you know, and which you yourself have heard from a third party. The news we get, be it ever so important - or less important - breeds a wish in us to tell it to somebody else. Let us not make ourselves better than we are. - But you must not give in to this wish. Keep that which you are told in the future to yourself. - You should not hunt down news, but just keep that which you are told to yourself. - By this you accomplish to load your battery with the spiritual force contained in not satisfying the wish to bring the news on. And the more of such minor secrets you can keep, the more your magnetism will grow. - Instead of passing on what you have heard and thereby unload your spiritual force, your silence will isolate the wish, which exactly is what you should strive for to become magnetic. ---

What I really want to say is that the entire secret of personal magnetism is the continuous storing of - great as small - unsatisfied wishes. - Mark this well. -

It has always been regarded as a virtue being able to keep a secret and it is a misconception believing that silence is a mark of spiritual indolence, which leads to shyness and isolation. On the contrary. - The silence of which I speak is an evidence of self-control, a reserved attitude and a condensed personal force. -

When the negative forces which inhabits the wish is of such strength that they can make us act in a way which is against our promises to ourselves, then these forces must also be worth purchasing for more useful purposes. You must therefore fight the temptations - repress and conquer them - by bringing them under the control of your will, and that in spite of that they only appear as small trivial things such as passing on news or a secret to a third party. - For you must admit that the wish to pass on news is great with you. It will not let you rest, but needs to be satisfied stronger and stronger. - You clearly feel that the wish, as a force, is very strong, yes - you know it for yourself, don’t you. -

Don’t give in to this manifestation of vanity, but keep what you know to yourself and store the energy in your electrical battery. It will strengthen your personality, so you at any time may accomplish your plans without hesitation and with success. That even if you have decided to travel to central China for catching a special butterfly which you happen to need for your collection. And this may be said to require some will-power. -

Strive to become mysterious in other peoples perception of you. This is accomplished by keeping the secrets to yourself and not casually talking about all you know of. - Just let other people talk while you are cultivating the art of self-control and showing reservation; by this your personal presence will be perceived as a power others will respect and show special consideration. - Here also the indispensable law of nature about cause and effect is working and says: “He who can keep a secret, the world will favor with power to rule others.” --- Be assured that the moment you raise your voice you will attract any listeners attention and keep it during the whole conversation. -

It is not my intention to make a wizard out of you by this course, but show to you how, by the force contained in the wish, you may gain mastery over yourself, but also have the power to make others obey you. - I will teach you to develop and use the force you have inside yourself - something we all have - but you have to help yourself by following the advice and instructions I pass to you. As the storing of the wishing force progress with you, you will not be able to avoid noticing the effect of your personal magnetism. People will be influenced by your charm and will feel attracted to you, and you will win their friendship, trust, respect and admiration. It is as if a sphere surrounds you which makes the impossible possible to you. - What is here accomplished alone by keeping the wishing force back is only natural possibilities of the human spirit, and you do not have to bring about effects of a magical character or spend your time on conjurations or vile magical arts. -

No matter what is occupying your thoughts or deeds, never inform others what you are doing unless it be absolutely required. Do not make others familiar with the considerations you do or what you think of others. Keep it all to yourself. -

Of course you should not show that you are seeking to hear some news and afterwards isolate it, in spite that others may have an interest in knowing it. It would easily be regarded as rudeness - or you may risk being stamped “thick skinned” by others. I will therefore advice you to shows precautions in the beginning and not be too eager to transform into an entirely different being. Do remember that your magnetic sense requires ease and time to develop along a steady increasing curve to reach the perfection, which in the eyes of the observer, makes the personal magnetism a natural component of yourself. -

Curiosity

The wish to obtain information about something is a seemingly innocent human weakness, which only few can say that they are not giving into, but this weakness also is waste of spiritual force. -

You should never ask no matter how interesting or exiting it may be to know something, but just keep silent and show controlled calmness and seem uninterested. But in your thoughts you should will and wish strongly that others will come to you and tell you what you wish to know. -

Mark well that I say: You should wish strongly, but mark also that this wish does not require satisfaction from you, but from someone else. All the saved spiritual force of non-satisfied wishes will be transformed in your battery to Will-Power.. - Will-power is actually the same as stored wishing force. The greater quantity of wishing force you can save for yourself, the greater a will-power you will possess. -

Now you will start understanding the purpose of holding the wish back, won`t you. Your will-power will become stronger than others and you will be able to rule other peoples wills. - The strong will always conquers the weak will. It has been this way since the dawn of time. -

You should not satisfy your curiosity by asking, but just will and wish strongly what you want to accomplish with the other person. Your will affects him and the strange thing happens, that sooner or later he will come to you by himself to satisfy your wish. -

By avoiding to ask you will increase your amount of unsatisfied wishing force and are thereby strengthening your will-power even more. -

Let us brifly investigate what thoughts the other person has and which make him seek you without being asked to do so. - Well, you have created an image for him of yourself as being mysterious, a person not to be placed in any cathegory - not free from mystery. - There is something which attracts him to you - he don`t know what - you are not as everybody else, but entirely unique. - He find you charming and pleasant and see it as an honor being well liked by you. He want to do your favors or just awake your interest about his person. - And that is why you have to hear the news - or the little secret - and best if it is under four eyes. He has no ease before he has told it to you. He is thrilled by the thought of being the first one to tell you “this very interesting news” and of course expects you to be as surprissed and interested as he was, when somebody else told it to him. - I beg your pardon? And here is a very important point which you should well remember. - Let what ever he tells you, be it good news or bad news - something which affects you personally or not - something you have heard before or not - in any case you must not let yourself react to it. Not in the least way must you loose control by loud or mimical expressions of suprise, happiness, thrill or worry, or any other emotional condition this news may cause. Whatever the news are, you must remain absolutely calm and show control over yourself. - Of course you will listen to him in a friendly manner, but keep silent about anything which may reveal your inner emotions. - This spiritual equilibrium will have an enourmous impact on him. He will be very surpised that the news, which made such an impression on him, not in the least way affects you. He will know that it takes a lot more before you in any way is affected. -

Now one should suppose that this would only lead to that he would no longer seek you out. But no - the opposite happens. Your self-control has bread an even deeper respect and admiration in him and the result is, that he will come to you again and again when he has something “new” to tell. - He is irresistibly drawn towards you - show you trust and understanding - and seek in a discrete way to let you know, that he would like a lasting relationship between you and him to result from this. --- And in that way you have won a new friend - a friend who will serve and obey you in all manners, yes - even satisfy your willed and unspoken wishes. -

The wishing force is spiritual streams - or should we call them: Waves - not at all unlike electrical waves, and it is a fact that each day these waves are transmitted between people, from one to another. - This is not something which you should believe, but something you should know. -

Neither should you satisfy other peoples curiosity, for if you do this, you will unload positive force by telling what you know to someone who wish to know of this. The result will be that two negative streams meet and your attractive impact on the other person is suspended. -

To know something is in itself a power, and by telling of your knowledge to others, you diminish this power. -

It is not harmful to pretend in a discrete way to others, that you know more than you would like to talk about. Just let others think that you could tell them a lot of things which they do not know of - that is, if you wanted to. -

Appropriate silence is the mean whereby you may fight the need to give into the wish of “learning about some news” - or give into other peoples curiosity by exposing your knowledge to them. ---

Flatter

Flatter should be banned to you. You must never yield to the destructive and weakening influence of flatter. - But it would be an asset to you if you know how to flatter others.

It require much knowledge of the human nature to be able to place flatter on the right spot without seeming clumsy or vulgar. To flatter people time and again sounds disgusting and foolish and may easily result in, that you, instead of making friends, have them turn their back to you with a feeling of disgust and contempt, and that was not the purpose. But try to place your flatter at the right psychological moment, for instance as an acknowledgement - a well deserved compliment - for a well done deed, and you will find that the effect does not fail you. You will win his friendship and trust. -

Of course you may flatter an ugly woman by telling her that she is a beauty - or a coward of a man by telling him that he is a hero, and make both of them believe you, when only you are capable of placing the flatter at the right moment and with a portion of suggestive power. -

But you must never allow yourself to be flattered. You must never talk about yourself and your deeds. Even had you done a great and noble deed which would be worth a word of recognition, even then consider it as something obvious - as a duty you have performed - and never speak of it to others. - The result will be that others talk so much more about you and will acknowledge your deeds even more. -

The admiration which others feel for you is also a spiritual stream which your magnetic battery will draw in and help strengthen your personal magnetism.

I will tell you something: The human beings who do most to get acknowledgement and in all their deeds strive to appear the best to other people are those who in fact reaches the least in this world. - Mark this well. - By inconsideration and ignorance they waste a spiritual force of great value, which could have been to their personal benefit if only they knew how to keep it back and store it. - They are the negative natures who will never come close to having so much personal magnetism, that they could hope to achieve a better job, wealth, power and influence. - They are led and controlled by wills stronger than their own and are condemned to continue on the same path without any possibility of progressing. -

To talk about yourself is to break down your personality. But why do we talk about ourselves? To be flattered, isn`t it? But to allow yourself to be flattered also means breaking down the personality. - You must therefore reject flatter and act with a certain modesty and reservation and you will see, that others will talk so much more about you. - All will notice you and they will look up to you with greater affection, honor and respect. -

Lies

The lie also is a product of the wishing force`s power over the mind.

Of course you can not say that it is a criminal offence to lie, though many examples are known where the lie has bordered to the criminal. - Especially when we talk about weak natures, the lie may develop into breaking down human reservation and result in criminal acts where the individual no longer knows the difference between right and wrong. -

Like truth is the path to beauty, happiness and upraising, the lie is the preliminary to all evil in the world, disgust and humiliation. -

Do not think that I am trying to preach morality to you, dear reader. To me, you are a stranger and I can therefore not make any consideration over your thoughts, your being and your character. What I want to do is make you familiar with the things which are of vital importance to you, if you want to achive a really strong personal magnetism. -

The lie is a temptation which all of us, to a greater or lesser extend, gives into and keeps giving into. And why should you be an exception, dear reader? No doubt that you too are being influenced by this negative wishing power - yes, pardon me for saying so, but I am sure that you can ou never tell a lie. -

A lie may be stated in a moment of folly or distraction without giving any thought to the consequences it may cause. But it can also be well considered and thought through, and it is that cathegory of lies, from a moral viewpoint, which are the most fiendish, and in addition, the most destructive on the character and will of the individual. It must sooner or later result in a muddled and narrow-minded soul-life. -

You now know how to react to any negative wish that may appear to you, no matter in what disguise. Each rejected satisfaction of a wish you will now consider a victory to you - like a splendid victory over the powers of evil. - Prior you may have been a slave to the temptation of lying and may have given in to it. But not now, because you know that by keeping back and storing the wishing force in any form, is a spiritual increase of force. -

There are three cathegories of lies:-

1: The need to cause attention to ones person.

2: To save yourself from a difficult or embarrashing situation.

3: Emergency lies, the so-called “white lies”.

The first example we may skip over easily. It is lies developed from a lively fantasy and which is a specific product of vanity. And the subject: Vanity, has been treated carefully enough. -

The second example is more complicated. By telling things different from what they are, we are setting ourselves ourside the rhythm of nature. We wish and will that another person should believe in us, have trust in us and thereby create a row of thoughts in him, which his spirit percieves as real facts. He is thereby set far above us in personal influence, thereby that our personal magnetism disminish through telling the lie. - And that is not what we want. It was your magnetism which was supposed to be stronger than his - you who should influence him - and not the other way around. But you will only accomplish this by stating the truth. -

By taking refuge in lies you will only be lead to suffer defeat - never to victory and prosperity. -

Always speak truth, that is a good advice to follow. It will not only strengthen and preserve your nerves, but in addition supply you with a comforting feeling of spiritual well-being, security and conciously acknowledges personal strength. - The glimpse in your eyes and the tone of your voice will communicate to your surroundings that lies is banished by you. -

The only cathegory of lies which moral may not attact, is the so-called “emergency lies”, but only if their use is beneficial to you. A good physician, for instance, never tells his patient that he is suffering from a lethal illness, but will tell him that his case is a milder example and there are no need to worry etc. - Also inside the art of raising children, the emergency lies may have their justification.

Always take any situation with a calm mind and have the back-bone to take the consequences which may result from speaking the truth. -

To yield to the wish to lie is a weakening of your magnetic forces. If you resist that temptation you will strengthen your will. -

Anger

It is a bad man who can not become angry, some say. But it is a fact that the man who understand the art of controlling his temper, is far superior in spiritual strength to him who has an uncontrolled bad temper. -

To yield to anger is an umistakeable token of a weak will. Big mouth mentality is neither a token of a strong will. Nervous people with a cronical vicious and bad temper, who stubbornly cling to their oppinion, also shows a weak will. Sudden and short anger, followed by an equally sudden calmness is also a certain token of a weak will. -

He who can not control himself will never be able to control others. -

Many people have a sudden and uncontrolled temper - they easi let the bad temper control them - and often says things or acts in a way which they bitterly regret afterwards. And even if the person in question is capable of giving an excuse afterwards for his uncontrolled behavior, such “begging for forgiveness” may easily be misunderstood as a humiliation - a lack of self-respect - yes even a weakness in us. And this must better be avoided. - You should control your temper and never let anger get to you, and absorb the spiritual force contained in the stream of emotions which, like a strong wish demaning satisfaction in an outburst of anger, appear in you. ---

Just let the other shout - let him insult you or even by violent means attack you - you must show firmness and keep in absolute self-control. - Then be assured that he will be the party who has most to regret. While you strengthened your spirit through self-control, he diminished his through anger and made himself considerably weaker compared to you. -

The brutal, physical force will always sufeer defeat to the spiritually superior (personal magnetism).

Of course you should now accept every insult and stand dumb and perplexed while recieving it. The other would then think of you as an “under-dog” - a childish nature - who dares not defend himself. It is possible to show a determined and mature behaviour by stating your oppinion with force, without yielding to the emotion of anger. Your words will then be percieved as a bidding - a command - behind which a considerable spiritual strength abide. -

Self-control at any time and what ever the cause may be, will always increase your stored wishing force. Each time you control yourself by controlling your temper, you will increase your will-power.
