Few who read it may find this guide useful, but those few may find it immensely so. It is for those with a vested interest in keeping a secret, staying silent despite provocation, or generally sustaining a meditative state in the face of external stimuli. A fair warning: your motivation to undergo the conditioning to follow must be unusually strong if you are to be successful. A proclivity for discipline can assist your efforts marginally, but lacking a significant, specific reason to continue invariably leads to stagnation and failure. Yet those steadfast in their resolve to become a soldier of the mind ought to take heart. These guidelines, laid out like so many other instructions to rituals, ceremonies, and diabolic games, are the only such set that can genuinely be used to reach their intended outcome; not rooted in fictional musings on the supernatural, they bring about results that are all the more real for taking place entirely in the brain. It should be obvious why maintaining a meditative state might be a highly desirable talent, but in order to discourage the wrong kind of interest, let us be very plain – this is not the sense of calm needed, for example, to say the right things during a job interview. This is a mental defense against divulging information under physical torture, an immunization against the dangers of long-term imprisonment, a resistance against life-and-death temptations, and a means of keeping yourself sane, in a sense, through interminable solitude. This psychic treatment will appear to have induced total outward serenity in the successful implementer, but to implement it yourself, you should instead think of it as the attainment of total internal impenetrability. You will be turning your mind into an unassailable fortress. A few further admonitions should be given to the serious aspirant. Firstly, be aware that although it is not strictly necessary, it is ideal to leave yourself ample time to work through the multi-layered journey to impenetrability – take at least three months if you can. Considering the circumstances that may well have led you to pursue the ability, you may not have that kind of time, in which case you must hope your motivation is strong enough to enable quick mastery. Secondly, we must touch on external factors that can play a role in the forthcoming process. Remember, nothing here need be critical to your success; the trials you will undertake are exclusively psychological. However, the mind and body are linked – the body is dependent on the oversight of the mind and the mind, while in no way dependent on the body, can use the body as a tool for reaching its own ends. With that said, you may find it beneficial to adopt certain material habits that will ease your mind into the right places. As a rule of thumb, avoid activities that suppress the imagination and replace them with activities that engage it.

People who use big words are almost exclusively midwits.
