... living in the sky. Who watches everything you do
every minute of every day. And the invisible man

he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire
and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever,
and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream,
until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you.
He loves you and he needs money.

and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined,
he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

will begin to establish themselves around and within him;
or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor
in a more liberal sense,
and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.
- Henry David Thoreau

Charisma was originally a religious term,

It's an invisible energy with visible effects.

Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright.
We're letting our own light shine.
