A Charismatic Mountain

Guest post by: Nikki Owen

Article Overview: Last week I climbed Mount Snowdon. I was in awe of the energy and powerful presence that radiated from the spectacular panoramic views at the top. The climb was tough and by the time I got to the peak my legs were aching and I could feel blisters rubbing on my heel. Yet reaching the top gave me a perspective of total clarity that I was at one with the universe and the awesome power of this mountainous terrain. This mountain exuded energy and charisma.

A Charismatic Mountain

Scientists at the frontiers of research involving Quantum Physics and Epigentics demonstrate that each one of us is a packet of pulsating energy that constantly interacts with the universe. In Eastern philosophies the Yin/Yang symbol provides a graphic representation of male and female energies inherent within us. Yin or female energy is the intuitive, receptive, nurturing part of us. Yang or male energy is the strong, action-orientated, forceful side of ourselves that gets things accomplished. When both these energies are balanced we ignite an internal emotional intensity that other people experience as magnetism or charisma.According to Sociologist Edward Shils, a man who devoted a significant amount of time to the role of intellectuals and their relationship to power and public policy “The charismatic leader seems to be connected to the transcendental powers of the universe and is able to re-establish a sense of order in his followers.” Freud supports this view with an interesting twist. He believed that in the initial stages of a child’s development, the infant is not able to experience any difference between himself and his external reality. To put it another way, until taught differently, the child believes that they are the entire universe. With time, the child starts to understand that their mother, who they perceive as a powerful influence, is a separate entity. The child maintains a sense of their own power when his mother responds to his demands. Gradually, as the child experiences occasions when their demands are not immediately satisfied by the ‘universe’, the child discovers the cruel truth that they are not omnipotent at all. Yet because of earlier infant perceptions, the desire to return to this feeling of power and connectedness remains and burns strongly within the child and consequently within the adult for most of their life. According to this explanation, the human being has a basic need to search for a symbolic order of the universe – a sense of coherence, continuity and natural order. When we feel our power, when we feel connected to nature we automatically activate the flow of our charismatic potential.
At the top of Mount Snowdon I felt powerful and connected – tempted to deliver my charismatic leadership programmes from the summit!!! As I reflected on these internal ramblings on the journey down, it dawned on me that delivering charisma seminars at the top of The Globe Theatre was a metaphor for being on top of the world.
I have a little piece of Mount Snowdon on my desk – acting as a reminder that we have all the resources we need inside of us to achieve the summit of any mountain we may chose to climb.

Hi! New to Forum - Hello everyone. I am Trevor Lawrence. I am just now working on my project. I worked on it yesterday, and I got a lot done. But I have a lot still to do. I live in SE Tennesee, USA. It is beautiful country here amid the Appalachian Mountain chain. We are close to the Great Smokey Mountains, with Gatlinburg as its resort village. I have so many hobbies that time doesn't allow me to fully pursue them all. Every day I work on the computer. I love the PSP program, and I am taking several lessons to learn more about the complex tools that it has. I am also learning Oracle 9i. I have made three presentations so far. I love music and easy listening. I write prose, poetry, and didactic writings. I am sure there's a lot of interesting topics and discussions happening on this forum and wanted to check it out. This is about it. Trevor Lawrence
Re: Business 2012 in London - [quote="bjsteele":wu04qnmy]I don't know Richard Branson. Could you introduce him simply? What is he speaking about?[/quote:wu04qnmy] You were asking who Richard Branson is, well after a few false starts his first successful business venture was producing a magazine called ‘student’ which he launched in 1968. He then started selling records by mail order in 1970 before opening his own record shop in Oxford Street in 1971. He then opened the Virgin recording studio in 1972 followed by his own Virgin Records label in 1973 and the rest is history. He is the founder and inspiration for all things Virgin now such as Virgin Telecoms, Virgin Atlantic Airline, Virgin Records, Virgin Racing, Virgin Bank and Building Society amongst many others here and abroad and I would like to get to London to meet him and listen to what he has to say. Sir Richard Branson as he is now has been drafted in as one of several ambassadors to bolster Britain's image abroad. The initiative will be launched across 17 key cities, including LA, Tokyo, Beijing and Sydney, with events including a show in Rio during which images of Britain will be beamed onto Sugarloaf Mountain. regards, Mal.
