    SECRETS TO STEALTH POWER

    VOLUME 1

    COURSE 1

    GAINING INDIVIDUAL EMPOWERMENT

    Nothing is illegal if 100 business men decided to do it, and that's true anywhere in the world.(Andrew Young)

    FOREWORD

    The more things change, the more they stay the same is certainly an oldadage but it certainly applies in regards to the circumstances of today's HumanSocietal Power.

    Superficial circumstances and formats may change but the inner workingsremain the same.

    To set the stage for learning how to gain empowerment we must first understandthe inner workings that exist today showing the distinctions between the

    powerful elite and the powerless.

    An interesting note: There is a general lack of interest in what causes us to bepowerless as opposed to an enormous fascination with the powerful and thepossibility of becoming powerful.

    Herein lies the first problem to becoming powerful that no one to dateaddresses. We must come to understand how and why we are powerless firstbefore we can truly become self empowered.

    Brain researchers say we only use 10%-15% of our brains and possessedknowledge. This possible correlates to only having 10%-15% knowledge ofpower and only utilize 10%-15% of our innate powers.

    Societal Power is considered a very precious commodity, so much so that thereis intense competition in gaining this power and is secretly guarded to limit thecompetition.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    3/21

    The only way to guard access to this power is to conceal, prohibit, and secretize

    all real knowledge about it. It may seem hard to believe that the real knowledgeabout the inner workings of power is unavailable to us. But various long-termways and methods have been engineered to keep the masses in the dark aboutthe true nature of power.

    One basic fact one must first face in gaining empowerment is that societalpower is more powerful than the individual and even more powerful than groupsof individuals. So to achieve empowerment one must first understand thesocietal factors and forces designed to prevent individual empowerment.

    As a final note: We as individuals have too long suffered being depowered andpowerless; especially when you realize that we have many incredible powersand levels of intelligence and possess untapped superlative sensing systems.

    Lesson 1

    THE COMPLEX MAZE OF POWERDOM

    The first thing learned about the inner workings of power is the vastnessand complexity comparable to an intricate maze.

    Simplifying and Examining Elements To This Complexity

    As complex and as extensive this power is, the overall parts of this powercan be subdivided. Even though there are numerous and increasingly complexcategories, we will however break them down into three general categories:

    1. Power at the Societal Levels2. Power at the Individual Level3. Power that transcends the societal and individual levels and deal with

    untapped energies.

    The first two are easily visible while the third will take more effort to identify.

    Due to the complexity and amount of detail required to adequately cover thesecategories, it will become necessary to break them up into separate volumesand courses. This volume consists of five courses and will cover in detail theelements of societal power as this is a required foundation to developingindividual empowerment and sensing powers.

    Overriding Importance Of Societal Powers

    I realize that you are probably more interested in learning to become self-empowered, but to my knowledge, no book on self-empowerment comesanywhere close to identifying and addressing the overwhelming societalelements towards power. Which is why they all fail in helping one become self-empowered. One reason is because these societal elements are craftilydesigned to suppress, thwart, or prevent individual self-empowerment.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    5/21

    Therefore a relatively powerless individual might wish for self-empowerment, butthese desires can be thwarted if you are uninformed about the mechanisms

    designed that make individual empowerment overly complicated and fruitless.

    No doubt that self-empowerment needs to take place in the confines of societalelements. Those societal elements have a long and quite hidden history. Manyof the methods have become institutionalized and secret.

    The Hidden and Secret Aspects of Power

    Deliberate hidden aspects of power equates to secrecy. At one time or

    another, the secrets of power have remain hidden by the powerful elite in allcultures. This indicates that both the secrets of power and their deployment isgeneric to all humans.

    It is therefore more important to reveal the general hidden aspects of power.This way those who seek empowerment can identify each aspect or theorytowards gaining power.

    SECRET #1

    As we start delving into how the powerful elite have dupped and lulled usinto a sense of powerlessness, you'll discover how a simple use of language hasbeen formulated to almost secretly strip away our sense of power.

    TWO NECESSARY TERMS

    For example: Most linguistics or semanticists have pointed out that topics (like

    power) can only be discussed by utilizing the words that a language contains.

    Language can be used to manipulate our thought processes just by altering themeaning of a word (as we will soon see) or even by omission.

    Most languages contain a number of words that can be used when discussingpower. But in the case of the English language, two important terms appear tobe missing, and are important to describing the context of power.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    6/21

    DEPOWERMENT

    One such omission that won't be found in any dictionary is the worddepowerment. Depower is easy to understand as the exact opposite ofempower, found in dictionaries, which means to enable or to increase inpower.

    So we can say depower means to disable or to reduce in power, to depriveit of strength or capacity, to make incapable or ineffective, or to cut it back ordown to negligible importance.

    Why would the powers that be prevent a word like depowerment from beingincluded in dictionaries? Because depowerment and empowerment are termsindicating an active change-of-state process. Which implies that if you aredepowered you can change your state to empowered. By excluding the termdepowered from our normal language, it becomes difficult for the mind tomentally process becoming empowered since there is no thought process thatindicates a change-of-state is possible. Empowerment and depowermentshouldn't be confused with the terms powerful and powerlessness as these referto static conditions and not something that changes.

    TELEPUTE

    The second missing term doesn't actually exist but it will be necessary tofurther our understanding in discussing power. Telepute or Teleputing: a termthat we will coin that means the following. The overall grasping, or synthesizingthe larger overall meaning, nature, or essence of something by using a mixtureof empathy, intuition, and/or telepathy.

    This doesn't necessarily mean or imply using some kind of extrasensoryperception, but more like using certain mental abilities associated with a moreholistic or speedy functions of the right brain.

    Teleputing is somewhat different from understanding, which refers to the left sideof the brain and is slower and a more laborious process. Teleputing takes thesum of all parts or data as a whole without needing to process the individualparts themselves.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    7/21

    While the process of teleputing and understanding do have differences, they arenot so different that they can't be used together. In other words, it can be shownthat one can learn to understand information by processing the data individually

    in sequence but fail to telepute the sum of the parts into a whole sequentially.

    For example, one can prepare food by following how-to recipes with all the stepslaid out sequentially and successfully create a meal. This is a function of thelinear left-brain process where understanding comes to play. Without thisprocess or in this case recipe, creating a meal would become a mystery.

    On the other-hand, those like a chef, can telepute a meal without the need tofollow a sequential recipe and still create a delectable delight.

    Exercise 1

    Observe or contemplate how society causes depowerment (watch commercials

    as an example)

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    8/21

    Figure1. Societal power which encompasses a large mass of individuals is maintained andheld in place by a few elite who not only control wealth and resources, but also the control ofinformation and knowledge which would allow empowerment among the masses ofindividuals. This web of secrets cloaks all power and empowerment knowledge through theprocess of social conditioning, ignorance, and stupidity among the masses.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    9/21

    Lesson 2

    Major Concepts Of Power

    The complexity of power can be visualized in many ways. As a tangled,haphazard network, a huge puzzle with missing or hard to find pieces, or as acomplex maze with fake doors, dead ends and clever booby-traps.

    This complexity makes it difficult on where to start on what we'll call theAnatomy of Power. This Anatomy of Power has been mapped by a few intrepidinvestigators and has been found to reveal some kind of hierarchical naturewhose structures contain orders or ranks, each answering to the one above.

    Thus it appears that power is arranged by control, authority and influence andranging from the few powerful down to the powerless masses. Of course if thiswas all that there was to power, it would appear you would only need to learnhow to negotiate your way through this structure.

    Behind The Conventional Power Structure

    Moreover, a more deeper and extensive examination reveals that theanatomy of power can be compared to the axiom it's only the tip of the icebergexpression where only 1/5th of it is visible while the other 4/5th of it is hidden.

    Most people can recognize that the workings of power are not only composed ofvisible factors, but that there are factors hidden behind the scenes even thoughthey are difficult to identify.

    One factor is quite certain, that is the commonly accepted ideas of powerexposes a great deal about its ever-changing variations. But those concepts areinadequate in many ways.

    The main reason is because the commonly accepted ideas are not solely based

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    10/21

    on the total concept of human powers themselves.

    Instead, the commonly accepted ideas are based upon the made-up societaland sociological designs whose conditions are set up to establish who is andwho isn't in power.

    In other words, societal designs are set up between the powerful and thepowerless, with the powerful maintaining those designs while sometimes doingso with strength and enthusiasm bordering on the ruthless.

    The Visible Anatomy Of PowerSocietal Ingenious Device

    It can be seen that every societal design is nothing more than some kind

    of sociological artifice. In other words, an artful strategy, or an ingenious devicethat is advantageous rather than right or just and is designed to mergeindividuals into their designed sociological power structures.

    And well indeed, the accepted definition of power as control, authority, andinfluence over others can be closely linked to the definition of artifice whereincontrol is almost always gained by artful strategies, or by ingenious devices orresources.

    Only the very nave will believe that societal power does not utilize ingeniousdevices or unjust advantages. Most of us recognize these designs but not theextent to which these ingenious devices trickle down to the lowest echelons ofthe powerless.

    Societal Power Devicesvs

    The Entire Human Power Structure

    Structured power devices do not reflect the entire human power structure,but just the particular formats of how control, authority, and influence over othersis set up and then maintained for as long as possible.

    This structure sets up the distinction and differences between societal powersystems and the relatively powerless individuals integrated within them, whosometimes feel that their own powers are constricted and cut off by the devicesand programs of the power systems.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    11/21

    Attempts to see and understand these differences from within the ranks of thepowerless usually don't get very far since it becomes very difficult to understandwhy societal power systems would WANT to restrict and curtail powers at the

    individual level.

    As viewed from the top of the power systems, it can logically be concludedthat:

    1. Control, authority, and influence over others exactly means not onlycontrol, authority, and influence over the physicality of the basicallycompliant population; but,

    2. Also over their minds, beliefs, emotions, education, intelligences, and any

    potential powers that might, by chance, emerge from within the powerlessmasses.

    There is an exact reason for one and two above, which will be discussed in thenext lesson. It is first necessary to examine the background of the TWO majortheories of power, because they are in direct conflict with each other.

    The Essential and The Authoritarian

    Definitions of Power

    The main difficulty in regards to expanding one's understanding of powersrelates to the commonly accepted idea that the definition of power is control,authority, and influence over others.

    However, that definition is more appropriately suited to the meaning ofauthoritarianism which is defined as relating to or favoring a concentration ofpower in a leader or in an elite; also, relating to or favoring submission toauthority.

    It must be pointed out that this link between societal power and authoritarianismtakes priority. After all, the term authority IS found in the accepted definitions ofsocietal power. And those several authors, who have researched the anatomy ofpower, unquestionably write about those who are completely compliant toauthority.

    Admittedly, there are various degrees and arrangements of authoritarianism, just

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    12/21

    as there are various degrees and arrangements of power elites. But if power isdefined and accepted as control and influence over others, then the others arecompletely compliant at the very least.

    The fact is that the commonly accepted idea of power as control and influence

    over others is only a societal strategy set up and managed so as to include thecompletely compliant others.

    Now opposed to the authoritarian definition of power are the definitions of powerthat can be called essential or constructive.

    In most dictionaries, power is given as ability to act; to cause or produce aneffect; mental efficacy; a source or means of producing motive andtransformational energy.

    For clarity and ease of use, these essential definitions can be thought of asconstructive ones as opposed to the authoritarian ones which, by definition,are controlling ones.

    If the distinctions between controlling and constructive powers are meditatedupon as calmly as possible, it can almost immediately be seen that theconstructive and the controlling definitions of power are in conflict. The simplereason is because controlling powers want or find it necessary to controlconstructive powers at the individual level.

    As we will discuss in depth in this course, the essential or constructivedefinitions of power as discussed above is the exact opposite of theauthoritarian definition of power.

    The more exact reason is that authoritarian control can act to suppress anddefeat the marvel that is associated with the development of our essentialactivation of power at the individual level.

    Dictionary Definitions of Power

    Most modern dictionaries primarily give the first definition to theauthoritarian definition of power, and the second definition to the constructivemeanings.

    However, the Oxford dictionary of the English language reveals that theessential definition of to cause to act was first utilized about the year 1305.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    13/21

    The essential or constructive definition as a particularly strong faculty of body ormind, of vigor, vitality, and energy appeared about 1440.

    The two authoritarian ideas of power as personal or social ascendancy andcontrolling political or economic ascendancy or influence did not appear until1535.

    In any event, in today's dialect there are two highly contradictory definitions ofpower. Both are mentioned, but the authoritarian one is given first, and theconstructive ones second.

    This first and second place arrangement undoubtedly serves to impress thatcontrolling powers are more important than the constructive ones. This leads

    one to believe (as will be discussed in later lessons) that there MUST be somedeep concern from those who wish to maintain control and influence overothers.

    The Power of Societal Devicesvs

    Constructive Powers of the Individual

    So far, now, the complex subject of power divides neatly into two parts the power of societal devices, and the power of the individual. As noted, thesetwo kinds of power are not exactly the same.

    A number of books on the subject of self-empowerment have appeared overtime, and some contain very helpful information, but most of them fail miserablywith regard to one very important subject: They give almost no hint of what theindividual is ultimately up against.

    Briefly it can be said that one is born into a physical and mental life, and that

    one is born equipped with a vast wealth of innate powers. But one is also borninto an environment of an existing power structure holding control, authority, andinfluence over the individual.

    So therefore one is born into those existing power environments as a loneindividual having little right to freely and fully develop their innate powers.Indeed, such existing power structures or societal devices exercise enormouscontrol and influence with regards to trying to develop one's self-empowerment.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    14/21

    The Basic Problem of Self-Empowerment

    Concerning self-empowerment, one will not be attempting to become self-empowered per se, but will be attempting to become self-empowered WITHIN asocietal structure which has been designed with ingenious devices and certainadvantages to cut off too much self-empowerment.

    If one is not at least aware of those societal devices and advantages, one's self-empowerment efforts may end up becoming like a dismal, failure-prone warfought in unmapped territory where the societal devices have all theadvantages.

    If the above seems harsh, then just take a look at the endless number ofpowerless individuals throughout the world. Yet we have existed here longbefore these societal power structures came into existence that are controlledby the powerful few.

    Also, if we didn't posses the potential to become powerful individuals, therewould be little need to erect power structures designed to control power in thefirst place.

    In any event, it is now necessary to move into the next phase and examine theenormous differences between the powerful and the powerless and to pointout one main reason for this difference.

    Exercise 2

    Observe differences between individual and societal powers.

    List names of the powerful elite and their methods of control.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    15/21

    Lesson 3

    THE HIDDEN STATUS QUO RELATIONSHIPBETWEEN THE POWERLESS AND THE POWERFUL

    Most books that map the commonly accepted anatomy of power directplenty of attention to the powerful, but hardly any attention at all to thepowerless except to point to them as the controlled, the influenced, and theextremely compliant.

    Because of this, it is possible to find out a great deal about power through thepower structures of the powerful.

    But beyond that, it is really quite difficult to find anything out about thepowerless, except that they are integrated into the lower class of powerstructures where they are graded as having very little or no power status at all.

    Generally speaking, we can say that the powerless exist because they AREpowerless, beside which no further comment is necessary.

    The above observations describe a rather fixed idea that seems to be taken asnatural by the powerful as well as by the powerless. The arrangement betweenthem is simply thought of as the way things have always been, are, and alwayswill be.

    The complete picture of this can be drawn as a traditional power structurepyramid. The traditional power pyramid is usually shown as an equilateral

    triangle (all sides are equal) which gives the impression not only of balancethroughout, but also that the powerless are, more or less, an acceptingbenefiting part of this power pyramid.

    A more honest assessment of the total populations involved most likely will notresult in a balanced equilateral format.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    16/21

    Therefore, upon examining empowerment potentials, it appears necessary toset up the approximately correct proportions of differences between the powerfuland the powerless, and then point out a component that is clearly not found ormentioned in any other book about power.

    The Relatively Large DifferencesBetween the Powerless and the Powerful

    Generally speaking, the basically powerful make up about 10%or less ofthe total population, while the typically powerless make up the remaining 90% ormore.

    This obviously cannot be accurately configured as an equilateral triangle. Maybethe smaller percentage of the powerful part of the population could be shown as

    an equilateral triangle.

    But the greater percentage of the unbalanced powerless population would needto be shown as a vastly bigger and extended design.

    The Needed Status Quo RelationshipBetween the Powerful and the Compliant Powerless

    A major question never posed is: If the powerless never existed, then whowould the powerful have power over?

    As a result, there is a real and overly large unbalanced relationship between thepowerless and powerful.

    There are many historical events which indicate that the powerful are aware ofthis required relationship and that visible and hidden methods were developedto continue this status quo relationship at all societal levels.

    In past centuries, this relationship was vigorously and effectively managed byestablishing class systems. There was the minority powerful and the majoritypowerless, with no means for moving up the social ladder. This wasaccomplished by denying the ability to read or write to the lower classes.

    Simply put, the class you were born into is the class you remained in withoutany means for change.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    17/21

    Historians have explained this as a required method to ensure continuance ofproperty and wealth.

    But what has been neglected to be made clear and is equally obvious is the factthat this method prevents access to societal power and to perpetuate the

    powerless classes so the powerful could have power over them.

    On an overall scale, it is this needed relationship which make examinations ofpower so complicated or converts such an examination into a puzzle who piecesare very hard to find.

    Moreover, this continuation of this needed relationship between the very fewpowerful and the very many powerless is extremely complicated, mainlybecause it must be managed on a very large and on a microscopic scale bywhich they prevent the collective powerless from becoming aware of their

    methods.

    It should be noted, this required existence of a direct relationship between thesocietal powerful and the unaware powerless most likely qualifies as the FirstSecret!

    Though it might not really be considered a secret as it is usually understood bythe compliant masses embodied into a given societal power device.

    Power Is Just Not Power

    Power is not just power, based on our previous discourse, but that powerover others can come into play only with contact to the powerless.

    You may find it amusing how the official definitions of societal authoritarianpower which we have previously established as control, authority, and influenceover others, never identifies the nature of the others.

    If the nature of the others was openly and clearly identified, it would surelydefine power as control and influence over and among the powerless.

    Obviously this definition would reveal the required relationship between the fewpowerful and the powerless masses.

    18/21

    The Powerless Do Not GenerallyThink of Themselves as Powerless

    It could be contemplated that the topic of power is full of unsuspected

    flaws, and based on the above title, one such flaw is encountered right away.

    Basically, the powerless rarely delight in the idea of thinking of themselves aspowerless largely due to the idea that being powerless is demoralizing anddemeaning.

    It is easy to avoid this unspoken issue because power and powerlessness areintimately related.

    Just about everyone has some kind of power, if only withing their own local

    environment or their own belief sets.

    But avoiding the unspoken issues causes other problems to bare when onewishes to become more powerful.

    In this day and age, if someone complains or gripes about not having enoughpower, they will most likely be told that this is a result of their own psychologicalframe of mind, for example, no self-confidence, not enough drive, relationshipproblems, etc., and that these need to be fixed on an individual level first.

    These issues may have a contributing factor to the condition, but there is alarger reason why the powerless don't have much power. This reason hassomething to do with the symbiotic relationship between the powerful and thepowerless.

    For example, if the powerful need a large stock of powerless individuals in orderto have power over them, then it would be required to condition powerlessnessinto the masses through social and educational devices. So, therefore, the faultof powerlessness might not be considered as one's own, but due to the

    programming from external sources.

    Many legitimate books explaining the generally accepted anatomy of power doemphasize the importance of social conditioning thereby ensuring at leastcompliance, if not complete powerlessness.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    19/21

    The Three Hidden Parts ofPower Over Others

    Considering the above, the topic of and circumstance of power easily

    breaks down into three basic parts with the following priorities:

    1. The required existence of the powerless;

    2. The necessary unbalanced relationship between the powerless and thepowerful; and

    3. The powerful who arise from among the powerless and who then mustmaintain the required unbalanced relationship.

    These three power parts suggest that the powerless must exist before thepowerful can arise amongst them, in other words, to exert control over themasses.

    If this were the case, then very few of the powerful would attempt to empowerthe masses because this would void part #2.

    What this says is that the power contained within ourselves that could bedeveloped are artificially contained by hidden societal mechanisms.

    Exercise 3

    Contemplate or examine any guilt we might feel about becoming powerful andwhere those feelings originate from.

    Lesson 4

    Humanities Power

    At first look, any effort to set up a working link between power andhumanity might seem unappealing and far from the subject of power itself.

    Of course, if one is only thinking about the concept of power it might not benecessary to make that link. But if you are thinking about the concept ofempowerment, then it becomes clear that empowerment revolves around achange of state from a type of powerlessness into a state defined by amanifestation of more power.

    The Differences Between Sources andManifestations of Power

    One of the main issues in regards to empowerment has to do with wherepower comes from in the first place.

    In consideration towards that issue, it is important to show that there areimportant differences between (1) where power comes from, and (2) what poweris. It also should distinguish between (1) sources of power, and (2) themanifestation of power.

    If you were to spend a lot of time examining literature about power, you wouldclearly find that most assume that the manifestation of power are the same asthe source of power.

    But the word MANIFEST indicates whatever is readily perceived by the senses,especially by the sight; or to whatever is easily understood or recognized bythe mind.

    MANIFESTATION includes something made evident, obvious, or certain byappearing, showing, or displaying.

  • 8/4/2019 Stealth Power

    21/21

    SOURCE, however, means the point of origin; a generative force; a cause; torise up or spring forth.

    So therefore if there is no point of origin for power (source), then there cannotbe any appearances or manifestation of power.

    As will be made clear, our previous discussion pertaining to sources andmanifestations of power is definitely super-filled with assumptions having to dowith teleputing not only the reality of empowerment, but the reality ofdepowerment as well.
