The Unseen Power Of A Condemned Man (II)

Resize your own limits, for your progress not to acquire valences too high.

Hannibal Lecter is doomed to explore the world alone, confront it and control it, by wanting to condemn it to be under the power of his oversized ego. The complex implications of the role that it has to fulfill cannot bring to light its defining traits. For this all-embracing man knows enough chemistry to predict the outcome of reactions that will occur over time between different contrast elements in the context of events. He also knows to reschedule himself, creating new optimization and security algorithms. Everything turns into a hidden mechanic of roles in a long process of resizing personal limits.

Like the powerful Vautrin in Balzac’s work, the genius from the shadow who controlled events from behind closed doors with intuition and psychological sense, Hannibal Lecter also seems to know and decide everything, but does not always want to speak. Everything is done and undone behind bars because of his mind and ingenuity.

And when this relentless man dips in the faith-filled words: "If I don’t go to the mountain, the mountain comes to me", everything acquires magical valences, amplifying its evolution. Even isolated, Hannibal appears to have total control over events, managing to slow or boost them. FBI calls on him to solve tricky cases. Even a pact is made between these two distinct parts. But, obscure, this mind full of sharp judgment and reasoning is also full of contrasts. Pay great care, great attention !

The experience of being a strong man is akin to enjoying a cup of tea: only when you feel something hot does the blood in you turn on.

You would think that this old and exhausted condemned man will long wait passively, outside the scope of events, in the shadow of disgrace, in a dark cell. A permanent nullity of the being at the end of his rope. However, a latent force gives him the power to be more than he is, regenerating his existential stage, giving him substrate for a sustainable revitalization. His neurons renew, his muscles tighten, his blood pressure rises, his breathing intensifies and all senses become sharper. And so Hannibal can better focus on his main objective: supersizing his existence.

It is possible for Hannibal, due to its overall effort to seize and govern all forces, laws and constants of psychology, to live the idea of its totality together with the sense of grace, characteristic to this experience. His unitary character is the sum of his components, his leadership capabilities, unseen and indecipherable by anyone. Of the whole set of possibilities, variations and combinations designed to keep alive his own identity.

Do you have the ability to dedicate yourself to your totality so that what you control with the help of the Ego becomes defining for obtaining an effect: “I deserve everything I can get”?

He who has the merit to have sailed on the great mysteries of life, thus dominated by a permanent dialogue between himself and, say, his "madness", can never be self-satisfied. He wants more, wants to find a place where he can perceive the world differently and even lead it. And only by canceling all appearances he can intensify those inner powers able to overcome the limits of his own knowledge and power of initiative.

This super-individualism, translated into a care-free attitude above all circumstances, rather than develop, it fades for the unfulfilled people on a personal level, who want to hold maximum power. And only by realistically reconfiguring aspects related to projecting their real needs, a filling of the functional gaps can be done specifically or exclusively, enabling their defining traits to evolve.

Leadership does not evade personal rigors. It can propagate into the vacuum, in the area of functionality that allows "inner forces users" to access in real time their search results and turn them through a process of tacit collaboration. And that, as they build new thinking structures.

But what constantly seeks the man who does not remain tied in the time straitjacket? More than likely, he wants to gain authority, to possess that freedom of vision, of will. And, above all, the freedom to independently judge his missions.

And this "I deserve everything I can get" becomes the essence of his life, convincingly illustrated in the case of Hannibal Lecter. One such individual commits submissively to his totality, living this idea with the fullness of his perfection, like a falling star, but rising brighter in another hemisphere – a la dolce vita, in the sense of solidarity with his own being, his extremes and his own beliefs.

Can you be identical with someone who, no matter how hard they try to prove the opposite of their own nature, is nevertheless prone to transpose into a majority force, unconditioned by any high purpose?

What is Hannibal Lecter looking? To never be identical with someone else, to have nothing that can jeopardize his position of the privileged territory of intuitive and well mastered leadership. Between thought and decision, in order to achieve the ultimate goal – psychological victory – no force must interfere. Bold, such a man tightens everything in the ribbons of his ideas and unleashes horsepower: aspirations and development efforts, which however do not fit into the normal pattern.

Why is the tiger a more complex and tenacious hunter than lions or hyenas that hunt only in groups? Because isolation creates conditions for the development of abilities far superior than those created by integrity.

The extensive use of personal progress is currently profiled exclusively on integration, on production of development resources shared in common, having both an intuitive and a practical dimension. Brainstorming plus action.

But there will always be isolated cases of individuals, with capacities above average, which will act freely, through intensity, talent awareness, promoting individual skills and experiences. And they will dictate the course of the world, for better or for worse.

As in the past, so in the future. A minority thoughtful force, misunderstood and obscure, will be more important than a united majority force, but which is inconsistent and unconditional to a higher purpose. And a man who wants to prove to you the opposite of his own nature is a man who realizes the “negativity” of his personality, but is nevertheless advanced to prove his superiority at any cost, even at the risk of the world’s opposition.

Leadership is the quality of relating to the effort to be strong, intelligent, knowledgeable, giving great importance to lives through the superiority extracted from the conviction of others that you are full of affection, not just a better professional than them.

The unseen power of a condemned man designates those internal forces that can develop when supported by strong incentives, to create a genuine uniqueness directed toward good or evil.
