Influence is power without force

Influence is power without force

Influence – from the Etymological dictionary.

late 14c., an astrological term, “streaming ethereal power from the stars when in certain positions, acting upon character or destiny of men,” from Old French influence “emanation from the stars that acts upon one’s character and destiny” (13c.), also “a flow of water, a flowing in,” from Medieval Latin influentia “a flowing in”

Influence is flow versus force.

Yet influence has a range of flows, from deceptive to intregrous.

The dark magician exerts influence through manipulation, gaslighting, fabrications, falsifications and blackmail.

To become a person who influences is a responsibility. Some people recognise their responsibility and use their influence to support justice for all.

When we know we have the power to influence others, and we all have this power, whether as parents or friends, wisdom asks us to use our influence for good, to never allow our influence to covertly or overtly subjugate the will of those we influence.

This is a threshold. Which path do we choose? The moment we take the path of the dark magician, its power infects and becomes its own generator. We might become intoxicated by its power.

On one side of the world, I applaud Australian Cartoonist, Cathy Wilcox. (https://www.cathywilcox.com.au/) Her cartoon from yesterday has captured the ire of the Israeli Zionist lobby. She has been savaged for it. We have terrible racism in Australia. But to focus on one type of racism as exceptional...

Beauty of Beginnings - January 7th - Modern spell casting

January 7th 2026 Modern spell casting Modern spell casting Interpellation – programming ideas into people’s minds by addressing them as if they were already true. For example, if a law enforcement officer calls out urgently – hey, you – there is often an immediate sense of guilt, even when innocent. The myth is written into existence. This is one of the many tools of propaganda. In Australia, as in the USA and UK, the Murdoch press writes ideas into existence every day. We begin to question...

Beauty of Beginnings - January 6th - Promises made, promises broken

January 6th 2026 Promises made, promises broken Promises made, promises broken For one brief moment, after the horrors of two World Wars, there was a sense of unification through the creation of the United Nations, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, and various other global initiatives. None of them was perfect. But they acknowledged that with the nuclear bomb, we had shifted from the age of nation-states to the age of one Spacehip Earth. What happens over...
