Dress for Power
by Dr. Frederick Lenz, RamaInsight
“It is necessary for you to focus your attention upon your physical being- your body and its strength, upon your mind and its clarity, upon the place you live, the manner in which you live, the way you dress, the way you walk, the way you speak, the way you laugh, the way you think, the concerns that you have, the depth and level of your emotions, your attachments, your career, your interactions with those around you, how and where you spend your time-all of the subjects of your daily life. When every aspect of your life is impeccable, then you will find that there’s no limit to your journeys into the infinite…”
Considerations
“The rule of thumb for the warrior is to be conservative in outer appearance, to find a very clean image and to use that image as a gateway into another world. My recommendation for most people would be to throw out almost everything they have and start over with a new wardrobe, and in the act of shopping for those clothes, to be very, very picky.”
