You possess a power that almost no one else possesses. You might be one of only a few people on earth who possess this special power: an invisible force that enables you to control everything.
Experience has revealed that you cannot tell anyone about this special power. When you try telling people about this power they distort their face and get angry. Ordinary people claim this power is impossible and dismiss your assertion. Hence you have learned to remain quiet about this special power.
Yet this power is uncanny, almost preternatural. Sometimes you can hardly believe it yourself even though it is real. You use this power hourly and daily to get what you want from anyone, anytime, anyplace.
You want to tell people about this special power so they can experience its unique capacity to control everything. However you cannot do this because explanations engender hostility in people. Even though you cannot tell other people about this special power, you can convey your intended message without uttering a word about this power as explained later.
Many years ago you were an ordinary person living an ordinary life when something strange happened to you. It was like you were singled out by fate. You had fallen through the cracks of society and entered a whole new world. Some people might call it an underworld; other people might call it paradise. But until a person enters that world of scintillating power he or she cannot understand it. That world must be experienced to understand its sublime benefits.
You clearly remember what happened. You were struggling in life like many people. You were striving to earn more money and have a better life. For a while you were doing okay but then everything came crashing down. Your world collapsed even though the rest of the world did not notice.
You found yourself underwater figuratively speaking. You felt like you were going to drown and nobody could hear you calling for help. Just when you thought it was over for you the bottom fell out. You descended down a long passageway, spinning round and round at high velocity. Snapshots of your life flashed before your eyes as you helplessly descended into the unknown. When you finally landed you realized you were in a strange place. Everything was foreign to you.
You decided to get up and find your way back to familiar surroundings. But to your surprise you saw the passageway was blocked. You could not go back. You were unable to go through the passageway that leads back to familiarity.
You were in almost total darkness except for a faint beam of light. You decided to follow that beam of light to discover its source. The closer you got to the source of that light, the brighter and warmer it became. Soon you were enveloped by an intense light unlike anything you have ever experienced.
The light warmed and bathed you. It cleansed you of your ignorance and vices. As you continued toward the source of that light, the walls began closing in on you.
You felt the space get smaller and hotter. The further you went, the more the walls closed in on you. Soon you were compressed by the walls and baked by the light. You could not move; you could hardly breathe. The temperature was so high that you began to sweat.
You lost track of time; you could not tell the difference between a minute and an hour. The walls were crushing you and the light was baking you. You were unable to move or speak. The pressure and heat were so intense that you thought you would go mad. You could not escape.
Then you heard a sound that grew louder and louder. You wanted to cover your ears but you could not move. The pressure, heat and noise caused you to faint. You were unconscious for an unknown period of time.
When you finally awoke you found yourself back in familiar surroundings. But while the world was the same, you had changed.
At first you were afraid of this change. Would you be able to survive? Would you still know how to act? How would other people react to your changes? You did not know the answers to these questions.
So you began testing your new self to see what would happen. Being unsure of yourself, you decided to try making money. To your surprise you made money two hundred weeks in a row no matter what happened in the world. You made money right through a major stock-market crash, a prolonged recession and an ongoing war. You even made money regardless of what you personally did. You made money while you worked, played and slept.
Figuring this was a fluke, you decided to test your new self regarding love. To your surprise you attracted not one love partner but one hundred love partners. Some of those love partners were delicious models and gorgeous celebrities. You attracted love partners from the farthest reaches of the world spanning diverse cultures.
You also realized that your body had been transformed into the body of an Olympic athlete. Soon you were running the equivalent of a marathon every few days. Your body had become an extremely proficient machine of beauty and poise, relaxed yet ready for action.
And your mind had been transformed into a supremely powerful thinking mechanism. You took a standardized test and your results overwhelmed the testing officer. She told you the president of her company wanted to meet with you first thing in the morning. The next morning the president offered you $100,000 a year to work for him. You received another offer from a different CEO to earn $1,000,000 a year. You even received a business proposal that would enable you to amass a $100,000,000 personal fortune.
You were convinced that you had changed for the better. You were feeling good about your new self so you decided to go to a party. There were strangers at the party but you knew some people.
You went downstairs to the arcade and saw some recreational games. You saw a dart board and a foosball table. You also saw people playing a video game and you saw some people playing billiards. You walked over to the pool table and noticed one person dominating the game. You looked around the arcade for a few minutes and went back upstairs.
You sat down at a table and started playing cards. Another person joined the card game and the dealer dealt everyone a new hand. The card game was new to you, so you bet for fun rather than for profit.
People at the party were talking and laughing and enjoying themselves. While sitting at the table you wondered if you should exercise your special power. You were not sure if it was the right time, so you continued playing cards normally.
You won a couple hands and scooped in your winnings. However, the dealer that taught the players how to play ended up winning the card game. She defeated everyone at the table.
Then the doorbell rang. The pizza delivery man delivered a large pizza and people started eating. You had a slice of pizza while sitting at the table. Afterward you went downstairs to the arcade. You played a few video games, talked with some people and listened to music. Then you walked over to the pool table.
You saw the same person dominating the pool table. No one could beat him. He openly admitted he was the best pool player. His blunt admission surprised you but you remained quiet.
He looked at you and asked if you wanted to play pool. You agreed but told him you had not played pool in years. You said you needed to play a few games to warm up.
Someone nearby warned you that your opponent is really good. Your opponent confirmed this by the way he looked at you. Then he told you to rack up the balls so he could break. You agreed.
He broke and sank a ball. Then he sank his next shot. You watched as he sank shot after shot. When he found himself in a bad situation, he executed a bank shot. He even jumped the cue ball over obstacles to sink his ball. When he finally missed a shot, you stepped up to the table. You were so cold and rusty at pool that you missed your first shot. He sank his remaining balls and won the game. He told you to rack up the balls for another game. You agreed.
Your opponent stepped up to the pool table and broke. He sank a solid and a stripe on the break. It was an open table for him. You listened to music as you watched him sink his shots. During this game you realized why he boasted about his pool-playing skills.
When it was your turn you sank one shot and missed the next one. He approached the table with only the eight ball and sank it with ease. He beat you two games in a row without breaking a sweat. You looked at him and he told you to rack up the balls again. He walked away with confidence.
You and your opponent played one more game of pool and he beat you soundly, although this time you made some shots. You placed the pool stick against the wall and let someone else play. You went back upstairs.
You talked with some people and drank a glass of water. Then you looked in a mirror. You did not see what other people saw. They saw an ordinary person living in an ordinary world. You, however, saw something different. You saw an all-powerful being confronting the mirror. You had flashbacks of your descent into the underworld, the crushing pressure you experienced there and your rise back to the ordinary world.
While confronting the mirror you asked yourself if you should practice using your special power. Should you control reality at the party or should you leave? What should you do? While looking into your soul you found the answer. You walked away from the mirror and wove through the crowd of people.
You went back to the arcade and witnessed the dominant pool player defeat another person. He boasted that he is unbeatable. You knew he had defeated everyone, so you understood his assertion.
You moved closer to the pool table while listening to music. You asked the dominant player if you could play another game of pool. He nodded with confidence and pointed to the rack. You racked up the balls.
He broke and sank a ball. Then he sank a couple more shots. When it was your turn you realized he had sympathy for you. He tried coaching you. Apparently he wanted to help you, perhaps because he was bored defeating opponents so easily. Whatever the reason, you did not want anyone coaching you. You stared at him while he told you what to do. Then you missed the shot he helped you with. He stepped up to the table and won the game.
An onlooker approached the table and said your opponent had been playing pool all evening so he was warmed up. This irked your opponent. He said he was this good from day one, from the moment he started playing pool. He turned to you and said with authority that he was always this good. You looked at him in silence.
You racked up the balls again and he broke. This time no ball went into any pocket. It was your turn with an open table. Rather than approaching the pool table, you walked to a shelf and grabbed a piece of chalk. You chalked your stick and circled the pool table slowly. You thought to yourself, “Now is the time.”
Using your special power, you identified key facts and united them rapidly. You united your opponent’s method of play and the layout of the table so you could formulate a strategy. You approached the table like you were going to shoot, but you had no intention of shooting. Instead, you analyzed the particular geometries on the table. Onlookers thought you were going to shoot, but you remained motionless while you ran mental algorithms based on what you saw.
You walked to the other side of the table, passing over an easy shot. Onlookers were baffled that you skipped an easy shot for a more difficult one. They thought you might not have seen the easy shot. Your opponent turned away to talk with someone. You leaned over the table and took your shot. Your ball rolled slowly away from the cue ball and fell into the pocket.
While no one knew it, you had altered your consciousness from a passive observer to an active controller of reality. Your concentration had changed, your aim had changed, your shooting had changed, your ball-control had changed. Everything was different.
You took another shot and your ball rolled into the designated pocket. Still, onlookers did not notice any changes in you. From their perspective you simply made a couple shots, perhaps by luck. Only you knew what was happening and what was going to happen. You knew the future because you were controlling it, albeit invisibly.
You took another shot and sank it. Your aim was precise and so was your ball control. Onlookers saw you sink your shots and saw easy shots materialize for you. While they might have attributed this to luck, you had eliminated luck from the equation. You were exercising your special power invisibly.
Adhering to your strategy, you passed over an easy shot. This caused you to miss a more difficult shot. Your opponent approached the pool table, made several shots and then missed. Rather than approaching the cue ball, you chalked your stick while getting a bird’s eye view of the table. While onlookers thought you were merely chalking your stick, you were mapping out the rest of the game.
You stepped up to the cue ball and sank your shot. You felt it; all internal systems were functioning in a state of supra-consciousness. Your intellectual, psychological and physical systems were aligned, enabling you to control everything. You sank your shots and won the game.
Onlookers thought you were shooting good pool but they thought this was a fluke because no one beats the dominant player. You asked the dominant player if he wanted to play another game. He agreed and racked up the balls.
You walked to the front of the table to break for the first time. The arcade was filling up with people and you had to clear the area so you could break without hitting anyone. You broke and the balls scattered in all directions. One of each kind fell into the pockets. The table was open.
Rather than hurrying to take your next shot, you analyzed the geometries on the table. You examined the pool table like an architect examines a blueprint. You saw angles, numbers, symmetries and calculations. Your mind ran various algorithms rapidly until you found the right one.
With this mental task completed, you approached the table casually and took your shot. The ball fell into the pocket. You took another shot and sank that one. Your next shot fell into the pocket. Meanwhile more people were coming into the arcade. While your opponent turned to talk with friends, you took control of the game.
Strangers were swirling around you but you did not notice them. Instead you were sinking your shots with mathematical precision while directing the cue ball where you wanted it. Shot after shot fell while your opponent was talking with other people. You sank all your balls on the table, leaving only the eight ball.
You told the dominant player it was his turn and he approached the pool table. He looked at the table and asked if he was solids. You told him that he was stripes and his eyelids popped open with alarm. Seeing all the solids were gone and all the stripes were on the table, he blurted out “You’re kicking my ass!” You remained silent.
Under new pressure, he took his shot and missed. You realized this was the end of the unbeatable player. You approached your shot, called the pocket and hit the cue ball, sending the eight ball into a slow roll across the table. Everyone watched as the eight ball crawled toward the pocket like it was guided by a string made out of nothing. Kerplunk! The eight ball fell into the pocket. End of game and end of story. The unbeatable player walked over to you and put out his hand. You shook his hand and leaned your pool stick against the wall.
While everyone saw what happened, they were baffled that anyone could so easily defeat the unbeatable player. No one knew that you were using your special power to control reality. Even though you never said one word about this power, you left everyone in a state of shock and awe.
That was their first encounter with this special power. Over time, they and everyone else will learn and master this special power. When they do, they will control reality for cascading benefits. They will enjoy unending physical health, psychological well-being, financial prosperity, material riches, romantic fulfillment and profound happiness.
