Whatever One may achieve in a Makiavelian way, is of course bringing the revenge-energy uppon you, which “The Prince” was in fact written with.
Notice it, a poison of words, written for the powerhungry men, who used and left the writer behind, as the scapegoat, to pay in their place. He was tortured in their place, as the only one left/available to blame. So he wrote for them and their breed, for all such power hungry creatures to come, so they suffer with and from their own doing forevermore, generation after generation.
As well his words, to help to get them the power they want, at the same time also, brings more out into the light, makes it more obvious, brings it more to surface, who is of this type of breed. ….for the rest to notice and identify them easier.
For the writer himself, while he was alive, disposed onto them, all his fears. He even said that himself. ….it was the clue to what the truth of his book for power really is made of.
He knew that only the dumb would seek the places generating fear, while the ones of love, would go the places that generate wisdom.
There has been too much fear, for too long, ~ the psyche of humanity, is tired of fear. Fear is not sustainable, rather, it drains and depletes. In this way, humanity remains unpredictable. And as the earth lays ill at their victorious feet, she generates an energy of fever and shivers, while the entirety of hearts, inrhythmed with her core, stand as the connected and accepted, needless of power, for they live for her needs, and nourish her, and all poison drew back, into the veins which they came from.
