Power of Mana
Manuland: An introduction.
For millennia humans have exchanged Mana instinctively. Power of Mana will transform you into a conscious Mana Exchange expert.
Power of Mana is the first manual ever published that teaches practical lessons in Mana mindfulness.
The dictionary defines Mana as a “power” or “psychic force.” Power of Mana gives you the tools to mobilise your colleagues, family, and allies into selflessly gifting you the Mana you need to succeed.
I grasped the power of active Mana Management after my friend Harry died prematurely. I wondered about how others’ influence compounds permanently through your life’s course, even after they die.
During his funeral ceremony, I audited the positive impact Harry’s Mana had on my greatest successes.
Because of Harry, I got into Cambridge to study Roman law. Through Harry I scored my first diplomatic post. Harry introduced me to my best friends. Harry’s generous investment of his Mana in me led to my master’s degree in business administration at Oxford.
I was a diplomat then in Ukraine, engaging my deep learning across Eurasian culture in the battle against Russian propaganda.
Once I’d tuned into Mana’s frequency, wherever I turned, Mana manifested in the means I deployed to neutralise Russian diplomatic trolls.
Ancient societies saw Mana as your Subtle Energy that remains in others and things (such as gifts) after you leave their presence.
In old Roman law theft was criminal because a crime was pilfering others’ Mana inside a stolen object. As a commercial property lawyer in London, I had often wondered about why a peppercorn must be paid by a lessee when a property is being let for free.
Now I understand this is an artefact, unmoored from its origins in Roman law, of a time when two contracting parties had to exchange, reciprocally, physical objects (like money) in which their respective Mana resided, in order for there to be a nexus or contract between them.
Today, in Common law jurisdictions for there to be an enforceable contract between two parties ‘consideration’ (usually money) must have been passed between them.
Early German, Amerindian, Celtic, Roman and Māori communities exchanged Mana at communal events. Such ceremonial tournaments pepper legends of Mana feasts by mythological monarchs.
The function of Manannán (Ireland), Manawydan (Wales), Mannus (Germany), Mánu (India), Angra and Spəṇta Mainyu (Iran), Ahryaman (for whom Iran is named), Minos / Macedonia / Mycenae / Minerva (Greece), Numitor / Numa (Rome), and Menua (Armenia) as Mana Whispering Indo-European cultures’ nation-founding monarchs / monarchies is even immanent in their M-N- sounding monikers!
Sacred M-N Sound
Mana was a moniker given by the first Indo-European language speakers to the energy we exchange when we communicate. This mantic meaning, through semantic spread, came to colonise the signifier for the Moon (meh₁nṓt is the contemporary spelling of the sound Ancient Ukrainians used to signify the
Power of Mana is divided into many main parts: we focus on Everyday Mana in different dimensions of our lives (including language, romance, data analytics (Disinfolklore,…),…
In Power of Mana I introduce the Ten Laws of Mana Exchange.
This is the key to Good Mana Governance. With these Ten Commandments in mind, you’ll become adept at summoning others’ reflexive selflessness by mainstreaming Mana intelligence in every communication.
Mastering Mana Accounting and administration empowers regretless communication every minute and moment of your life.
In Power of Mana, I reveal for the first time ever a moon metaphor-based Mana Reminder sound that I found animating over one-hundred-and-sixty keywords in English, a Germanic language in the Indo-European family that was discovered by the Welsh translator of the ancient Indian Manu legal code - announced thus to the world in 1786:
“The Sanskrit language, whatever be its antiquity, is of a wonderful structure; more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either, yet bearing to both of them a stronger affinity, both in the roots of verbs and in the forms of grammar, than could possibly have been produced by accident; so strong indeed, that no philologer could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source, which, perhaps, no longer exists: there is a similar reason, though not quite so forcible, for supposing that both the Gothick [German] and the Celtick, though blended with a very different idiom, had the same origin with the Sanskrit; and the old Persian might be added to the same family…”1
In Power of Mana I demonstrate how to spot this almost mantic yet verifiable and empirical phenomenon - which I call Reversion to the Moon.
I prove to you the benefit of seeing subliminal cues for remembering Mana in conversations (and indeed in all of your communications between sentient beings (humans and animals)).
By putting into bold type every word infused with Mana, by the end of Power of Mana you'll have learned to spot Mana in every communication.
Once you attune your ear to my Mana Mindfulness mnemonic, Mana prompts manifest in many of the commonest words (and meanings luminescing through such M-N- sounding words (semantics)) you hear.
Before long, you’ll be effortlessly monitoring your Mana liabilities and credits as they mount.
In Power of Mana, I tempt you with an easily memorised measure with which to determine whether the Mana you are subliminally exchanging with others is positive, neutral, or negative.
Tackling your manager’s Mean Mana by manifesting positivity towards them gets easier when you recall, then focus on the ongoing value of aid they’ve given you in the past!
Power of Mana is the first manual in human culture to teach Mana literacy.
With the power to perceive Mana in real time, in almost every sentence we hear across the entire Indo-European cultural zone from Ireland to India (Manuland) you’ll soon be empowered to begin consciously transmitting only Positive Mana.
No-one should remain immune to the power of Mana for longer than a moment after learning to spot this phenomenon in every Indo-European language!
This is A key to living regretlessly.
Mana already illuminates your humanity; the point is to harness it mindfully.
Sir William Jones, ‘The Third Anniversary Discourse’ (delivered 2 February, 1786 at the Asiatick Society of Bengal in Kolkata).
Is there a difference between Mana and Prana?
