DISARMAMENT AND ENRAGE WITH MIRROR EFFECT

OBSERVANCES OF THE LAW
Observance of the law I
In February 1815, Emperor Napoleon Bonaporte escaped from Elba Island, returned to Paris to re-establish himself in power, but faced with the harsh situation in France, he had to find great allies to support him in his journey.
During his previous reign, Napoleon had always trusted Fouché, without knowing his true thoughts, nor with the network of spies to control his ministers could get something out of Fouche to anticipate his steps.
Therefore, he needs support; not your best option than to designate Fouché as Minister of Police.
After a while Napoleon was warned that Fouché conspired with Metternich, of Austria, thanks to his spies Napoleon had to discover the truth, but he could not do it so directly because of his little information, so he needed proof.
Those tests could be collected when they captured a gentleman who had traveled to inform Fouché, when he was taken with Napoleon, the gentleman confessed that it was a letter from Metternich, written in invisible ink, to hold a furtive meeting of special agents of Basel.
So Napoleon infiltrated an agent at that meeting, but he himself said that he had not seen anything out of the ordinary, in fact it seemed that the other agents were suspecting that Fouche was working on behalf of Napoleon.
To the disbelief of Napoleon, Fouché decides to visit him and in an ingenious way mocks the most forceful proof that Napoleon had on that letter that was sent by Austria, he appeals that he should do it for the benefit of the same as an espionage to inform him of his enemies, when hearing that Napoleón exploded saying to him that he is a traitor, but Fouché was only surprised, but inside it could not less than to smile.

INTERPRETATION
Fouché knew about his manipulation of Bonaparte by spying on all his ministers, he had managed to survive that game, and to play find his "master" by controlling both him and his ministers, he was one step ahead of him, through the neutralizing mirror effect, reflecting those around him and never committing completely with them never, such as a chameleon, and playing the same cards of them to protect themselves in their position of power.
This is the great power of reflecting those around you, because first you give people the feeling that they share their ideas and goals, then when others suspect that you might have motives for conspiracies, the mirror separates them from them , preventing them from detecting their true plan.

Observancia de la ley II
Alcibiades of Athens (450-404a.C) developed a powerful weapon that became the source of his power. In every encounter with someone, he was eager to perceive the mood, tastes and mood of that person and, right afterwards his own words and actions so that they reflected the most intimate desires, in themselves seducing them with what they wanted to hear.
His charms fell at the hands of Socrates, Alcibiades represented the opposite of the simple ideal of simplicity and honesty: he lived ostentatiously and without principles, so Alcibiades with his mirror effect of pleasing Socrates through the reflection that he gave of sobriety would contribute to make him more vulnerable to a logic that flattered him, so Alcibiades won all the love of Socrates to the point of saving his life.
Alcibiades was again considered to win the sympathies of the masses through his rhetoric since he was very adept at capturing aspirations of his audience and reflecting the desires of the people. Then Alcibiades' plan worked and it was approved to command the expedition to Silicia, to be sure after the invasion would give great riches to Athens.
When being in danger for desecrating sacred statues, Alcibiades decides to flee and passes to the side of the enemies of Athens, Sparta, the Spartans not knowing him, decides to adapt to the worship of the warrior people thus winning the sympathy of all since they considered that he had turned into a spartan and that was worthy of honor.
But he seldom knew how to curb his charm, so he seduced the wife of the king of Sparta, who became pregnant, so he became public and was forced to flee for his life, which settled in Persia again adapting, or would say Reflecting the Persian lifestyle I adopted, Alcibiades preferred that culture before his birth, so the Persians were seduced by such a mirror, and they did not realize that Alcibiades carried out a double game: secretly helping the Athenians in his war against Sparta, thanks to that culminated such a war and he was able to return to his long-awaited territory.

INTERPRETATION
Alcibiades at his young age discovered something that modified his next strategies to obtain power, that defending his own ideas with such passion could achieve the adhesion of many people, with his own "facet" one could say, but at the same time he put many against.
Therefore he realized that not everything was to impose his ideas but to absorb those of those around him and modify their colors like a chameleon.
However, this can be counterproductive when used with a lot of abuse because you will believe distrust and resentment in other people when you reflect loyalty to all people, and they know it.

Observancia de la ley III
In 1652, Baroness Mancini, moved her entire family from Rome to Paris, said woman had 5 daughters who 4 shone for their beauty and vivacity in court, which soon became the main focus for invitations to important functions of the court.
The missing of the daughters of the Baroness, Maria Mancini was not happy with the same fortune of his sisters, so when seeing the contempt of his own family, he dedicated himself to intensify other parts in which she was good as in the study of languages ​​and music.
Maria decided to challenge her family, get young Louis XIV to fall in love with her.
Maria previously studied the future king, noted that the frivolity of his sisters did not like him and detested the intrigues and petty politicking that was developing around him. To which he saw that had one inclined towards the romantic and idealistic.
Which court or other people did not satisfy such fantasies.
Maria had the key to conquer the heart of the future king reflecting her greatest desires and fantasies, first step she became erudite in the topics that Louis XIV liked, until the opportunity was given to speak to her, to which Mary nourished the thirst of Luis's glory creating an image of an august and superior king in which he could aspire to become.
The future king of the Sun after his last and interesting conversation, Maria was the indisputable companion of Luis XIV, to which it was denoted that he was in love to the point of becoming Queen of France but his family upon hearing that opposed and put pressure on the young man King to marry the princess of Spain or Austria, at the end of his life Luis XIV recognized that he had never known and loved more than Maria Mancini.

INTERPRETATION
María Mancini's tactic of seduction was based on taking a step backwards first, in order to be able to study with greater clarity her desires, fears which other people aggressively pursued their ideals.
When studying such details from afar, he realized that there were many things that differentiated him from the others, so by the mirror effect of seduction he fulfilled many important roles for the complete sympathy of Louis XIV: by satisfying the ego, and thus become something very important since those of his court did not usually do that, which caused that Maria lived to do that through his devout attention.
Also being a means of representation of all the ideals that King Louis XIV could aspire to.
So Maria was recognized, loved because thanks to her Luis XIV could manage to build his image as a sovereign.
Then the seductive mirror effect is fixed in: reproducing the tastes and ideals of the object, showing empathy with the other person, more seductive than a pretty face.
In short look for what the other person characterizes or wants, and feed those fantasies, reflecting their ideals and sooner or later will fall at your feet, well not so much but get the whole sympathy of you.

It has been interesting to talk about this, well, it was for me, I hope you liked it, in the next part I will write about other examples about of this law. So see you later
