Course XLI - Teaching 11: Achieving the Power

One can properly say about a man with shining chest, who developed the solar plexus, related to the Sun Wheel, that he possesses strength and power.
This terrible center gives a disciple who could develop it, courage to preserve or destroy what he has. Christ said, “I can destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days”.
An extraordinary force emanates from this active plexus and gives irresistible strength, immense attraction, and very radiance and magnetism, revealed in all his deeds.
But when this fiery center is improperly focused, then it devastates everything around, destroys and creates destruction, death and ruin.
In both cases, the individual being works as a powerful magnet, which attracts things and beings, and they remain subject to his will.
The magnetic power and healing virtues of certain beings come from this center. When Christ made his wonders and marvelous healing, he would use the Sun Wheel. Mesmer discovered the healing power of the magnet, but did not realize that the true magnet, which gave health to the sick, was in his own solar plexus.
States of hypnosis and suggestion as a whole can be achieved with our own eyes that constitute the outer part of this force. So, wicked men who harm their neighbors with his psychic powers act in a similar way; this negative operation of the Sun Wheel is called in the antiquity: “evil eye”, “harm” [“spell”, “curse”], “black magic”, and so on.
Prophets attract disciples and leaders of peoples win over multitudes by means of this center. It is like a blaze coming from a man and burning everything around.
This power creates and destroys.
This power sustains well-meaning beings to achieve their good purposes and triumphs, but also wicked persons are given certain instruments of revenge, curse, and eventually self-destruction in a fit of rage. This rage is the lowest part of this center.
Several exercises are required to develop the solar plexus; some of them should be made in the sun and bareheaded.
Sun is also benefic or harmful.
It is beneficial if one’s superior mind is awake and alert; and it is harmful if the individual being gets drowsy and lets the little brain, or solar plexus, to come into action by itself.
