According to Becoming a Man of Power, a man can be whatever being he allows himself to dream of. Guest states, “You are a shadow of your potential magnificence.” The outside physical world and all its people can yank the paradigm of what a man thinks of himself in a bazillion different directions if permitted. That does not have to happen. Being sensitive to oneself is the key. In order to become powerful, a man must have a stable, loving vision of the Source within.

This requires effort. It requires down time where a man sits alone and ponders what lies inside his deepest being. Eventually rock-like faith in his light body and feelings will lead to a new energized man who is firm, stable, self reliant, creative, able to face reality without becoming affected negatively by it.

Guest explains that the light body and physical body are one. It is the light body that gives man wings to carry him wherever he wants to go. The only limit to this freedom is self imposed, and with time and practice, a man’s distorted beliefs and those of others can be left behind.

Much of what holds a man back from reaching his goal is fear. When confronted by someone with a different opinion or belief system, quite often a man reacts with bravado, arguing his viewpoint, afraid to be put down. He’ll lose esteem (manliness) in the eyes of his challenger, those witnessing the scenario, and his own self image.

Some men might choose to remain silent, afraid to incur disfavor, especially if that person is a boss or authority figure with greater influence. This is often true of romantic relationships. Fear of disapproval in the eyes of a loved one for fear of breaking off an affair, often leads a man to inner anger and frustration with himself because he remains silent.

A man who has reached a genuine sense of power might handle things differently. As if wearing a suit of armor, he would listen intently, but would have enough faith in his own light body armor to respond or not respond as he sees fit. Sometimes silence is golden. He has no fear of being hurt or getting back at someone because he no longer holds onto or craves anything. He can remain silent without hurt.
