Dossiers A Better Life The Psionic Predator, by Charles Cosimano | Page 2

I
Hang onto your hair! I'm going to start this with a quote from one of the most evil
people in history, someone that I normally would not even mention in a book.
"The state does not dictate to us! We dictate to
the state!" Adolf Hitler.
Now, you may very well ask why the hell I would include a quote from Hitler in one of
my books. After all, he lost, didn't he? Well, I have always believed that, with the
exception of the Pope (any Pope) and Bill Moyers (who with luck will be long forgotten
by the next generations of my readers) everyone who makes public statements says at
least one intelligent thing. This line was Hitler's one intelligent thing and it reflects what
the proper attitude of psionic operator is to the environment that he lives in. We are not
controlled by our social and political environment. We control the social and political
environment that we find ourselves in. That is what psionics is all about, control.
If you are going to succeed in psionics you need to be something of a control freak.
Not obsessively so, but you must have within you the desire to be in command. And
you have to be rational about it. As I said during the Iran-Iraq war years ago, "The
important thing is not who is killing Iranians, the important thing is that Iranians are
being killed." When you work with psionics you work through other people and through
nature itself. You are not the one who gets either the credit or, more importantly, the
blame. But you will be the puppeteer pulling the strings, the piper who plays the tune
that others will dance to and they will have no way of knowing that you are the one who
is determining what decisions that they will make. You will have power without
authority and that is a good thing because when authority conflicts with power, power
always wins. One of my favorite movie scenes is near the end of Dogs of War, when
the mercenary played by Christopher Walken is standing next to the man he is placing
in control of the country that he has just taken over and the man who arranged the coup
and has other ideas shouts something to the effect of, "We are in charge here!" and
Walken simply says, "You aren't in charge of shit," and shoots him.
Authority is public and noisy. Power is private and quiet.
When truth (whatever in hell that may be) speaks to power, power can ignore it. When
power, real power, speaks to truth, truth dies.
Never forget that.
