Mystery lies at charisma's heart, but it is a particular kind of mystery - a mystery expressed by contradiction. Since most people are predictable, the effect of these contradictions is devastatingly charismatic.

Most of us compromise constantly to survive; saints do not. They must live out their ideals without caring about the consequences. The saintly effect bestows charisma.

A Charismatic relies on the power of words. The reason is simple: words are the quickest way to create emotional disturbances. They can uplift, elevate, stir anger, without referring to anything real.

A Charismatic is larger than life, has extra presence. It is essential to be self-aware, to have the ability to see yourself as others see you.

Most people are repressed, and have little access to their unconscious- a problem that creates opportunities for the Charismatic, who can become a kind of screen on which others project their secret fantasies & longings.

You need to believe in something, and to believe in it strongly enough for it to animate all your gestures and make your eyes light up. This cannot be faked.

Charismatics display a need for love & affection. They are open to their audience, and in fact feed off its energy; the audience in turn is electrified by the Charismatic, the current increasing as it passes back & forth.

Charismatics are unconventional. They have an air of adventure & risk that attracts the bored. Be brazen & courageous in your actions - be seen taking risks for the good of others.

If any physical attributes is crucial in seduction, it is the eyes. They reveal excitement, tension, detachment, without a word being spoken. Indirect communication is critical in seduction, and also charisma. The demeanor of the Charismatic may be poised & calm, but their eyes are magnetic; they have a piercing gaze that disturbs their targets' emotions, exerting force without words or action.
