[6] At the very beginning of relationships, the<br \/>\ninterplay of <a href=\"https:\/\/mediaeclatdotcom.blogspot.com\/2019\/11\/good-morning-h-31.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">influence<\/a> is hardly noticed.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">The parties are acquainted with one<br \/>\nanother, the possibilities of a deeper relationship<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">are present, but whether the<br \/>\nrelationship will develop or not remains to be seen &#8212; it may, or<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">it may not. But as long as<br \/>\neverything is in an incipient stage, no judgment can be made<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">upon it. At this point, neither<br \/>\nparty is harmed or helped, whether the relationship goes forward<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">or does not.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">2. [6] At a later stage of an<br \/>\nacquaintance, there is the bare beginning of a flow of influence,<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">but it is not subject to the man&#8217;s control.<br \/>\nWhether the relationship proceeds or not requires<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">the actions of others, and this is<br \/>\nnot a good way to begin. If this is allowed to proceed, the<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">man will be subject to the whim of<br \/>\nothers, and the outcome will not go well. It is better for<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">the man to wait until circumstances<br \/>\nplace him in a position where his actions will initiate<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">and control the relationship. Then<br \/>\nhe will be in a position to properly exert his influence<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">himself, and his ability to control<br \/>\nthe way it proceeds will mean that it will go well for him.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">3. [9] The formation of a<br \/>\nrelationship has an emotional component, and this easily becomes<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">the directing force. But if this is<br \/>\nallowed to happen &#8212; if whim or infatuation is allowed to<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">lead the man into an involvement<br \/>\nwith another &#8212; it will result in humiliation. Just because a<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">possibility of a relationship of<br \/>\nmutual influence exists doesn&#8217;t mean that it is advisable; the<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">man must restrain himself and act<br \/>\nin accordance with his own reason. Just because another<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">person with whom the man has a<br \/>\nrelationship wishes the man to do something is not sufficient<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">reason alone; the man must exercise<br \/>\nwise choices and not grant every request automatically.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">Just because the man is involved in<br \/>\na relationship with another does not mean<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">that he should ignore his own<br \/>\nintuition when it is contrary to the influence of that other; his<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">independent judgment is the<br \/>\nfoundation of his individual freedom.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">4. [9] When a man speaks from his<br \/>\nheart, he has great influence on his followers, for they<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">recognize the genuineness of his<br \/>\nexpression, it has a deep impression upon them, and it<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">reaches into their deepest<br \/>\nsensibilities. It is incumbent upon the man, therefore, that he keep<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">his heart pure, and if he does so,<br \/>\nhe will have no regrets. His influence will be great, and the<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">beneficial effects upon his<br \/>\nfollowers will be extensive. When the man acts from the depths<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">of his own being, when his motives<br \/>\nare for the benefit of others and not self-centered, when<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">he is conscious of those others and<br \/>\ndoes not attempt to use them for his own ends, he will<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">make no mistakes, and his followers<br \/>\nwill know intuitively that he can be trusted. When<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">people are involved with one<br \/>\nanother on such a deep level, the emotional strain is intense<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">and physically wrenching. But for<br \/>\nintense emotional experiences of this caliber, it is only<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">the man&#8217;s followers &#8212; those to<br \/>\nwhom he speaks directly &#8212; who are influenced by him.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">Highly emotional involvements are<br \/>\nlimited to those directly affected.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">5. [9] When a man&#8217;s influence is<br \/>\nunder strict intellectual control, there is no confusion or<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">misunderstanding. As a result, no<br \/>\none will be led into some unfortunate path, and there<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">will be no cause for regret. If a<br \/>\nman attempts to influence the unconscious mind of his followers,<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">the results cannot always be<br \/>\ncontrolled, and it is not always certain where such influence<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">might lead. A man who avoids those<br \/>\nemotional depths and maintains rigid intellectual<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">control over himself and over the<br \/>\nemotional level of his involvement with his followers,<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">also avoids all those<br \/>\nuncertainties. Nevertheless, those who are not subject to such<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">unconscious influences themselves<br \/>\ncannot exercise that kind of influence on others, and the<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">degree of the man&#8217;s influence will<br \/>\nbe limited.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">Top. [6] The least significant<br \/>\ninfluence of all is mere talk and admonition. Talk is cheap, and<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">anyone can tell someone else what<br \/>\nto do and how to do it. But if such talk is not an expression<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">of a deeper conviction, if the<br \/>\nspeaker does not put his whole heart into what he says<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">and put his finger on things that<br \/>\nmatter to his listeners, his message can have little effect.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">This kind of &#8220;do as I say, not<br \/>\nas I do&#8221; admonition is worthless and is generally ignored by<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">the man&#8217;s audience. If the man<br \/>\ncannot speak from his heart, he might as well not speak at<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">all.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%;\">Please Comment, Like and Share<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit | FREE WILL MAGIK The Lines Bottom.
