(Omal talks about the coercers of Sirius and how disciplined they have to be and are special from the other skills. He warns that the abuse of coercion can lead to an appearance of no emotions due to its feeding back on itself.)

John: can I ask you questions about coercion?

Omal: certainly as our resident coercer is absent this evening, you may.

John: can you use coercion with animals and machines?

Omal: machines, they do not have a mind to think with but animals most certainly.

John: like an attacking dog.....

Omal: certainly.

John: you can definitely coerce them out of running the other way.

Omal: correct.

John: coercion from my very limited, young metaphysical standpoint, is coercion something that you can easily do……easier to do with animals or with people?

Omal: animals, it depends on their instinctual level. People, it can be harder but it can also be easier. There are people that are very weak-willed that you can manipulate and twist without even thinking about it just by using your voice and words alone. Those people are the easiest to manipulate. It is like animals that are very….

John: weak?

Omal: yes weak, that was not the word that I was looking for but it is well-suited, that is able to be manipulated like as Kiri would say a puppet on a string. A strong coercer will not use his voice or her voice, they will use their mind.

John: okay, I can use my voice…..

Omal: uh-huh.

John: and get results but I haven’t been able to use my mind totally because I don’t think I’m disciplined enough.

Omal: it is something that they are very disciplined on. On Sirius, coercers are set aside and they become very disciplined individuals. Frequently after they have finished their coercive education they will become disciplined rebels would be a good way to describe them. They become very rebellious and boisterous in nature but about their coercive ability they are very protective and disciplined. They will not readily use their coercive ability as they know what can happen if they abuse it.

John: so if I understand you correctly, you need discipline to do coercion correctly….

Omal: correct.

John: and then once you’ve mastered coercion, you need discipline to maintain your mastery.

Omal: correct and to avoid abusing it. If you abuse it, it feeds back on itself and you become somebody that has no emotions, and I do not mean the appearance of no emotions, I mean no emotions. No remorse, no pain, no guilt, nothing that would keep you on a moral balance. Sometimes this happens to individuals that have a high, natural coercive ability, they become devoid of emotions because they know that they can use their ability to get whatever they wish, from whomever they wish without having to work for it. So therefore they suffer as the people that they and use and abuse suffer and the fact that they have no satisfaction in anything that they do. They are inside empty. I believe you know somebody like that Skip or knew somebody like that.

Skip: yes I did.

Omal: okay, next question.

John: oh I’m tapped out, I mean I’ve hogged most of this, I apologize to everybody.

Omal: yes, you’re welcome Johnny. Yes I know that was deliberate but that, sorry Johnny, was an example of coercion.

Skip: you hit awful close to home there young man.

Omal: once again, thank you for the comment on young man and.....

Skip: it’s a figure of speech with me.....

Omal: yes.

Skip: I do mean the compliment, that's not.......

Omal: oh I take it as a compliment.
