What is How to be a Megalomaniac?
How to be a Megalomaniac began many years ago as a fun way to explore the techniques used by politicians, televangelists, gurus, advertisers and other mass-manipulating forces. Here’s the original pitch:
Want to learn the secret keys to manipulating the masses? Do you want followers, henchmen and lackeys to serve your every need? You're either a sick puppy or a True Megalomaniac AND you'll absolutely LOVE this video recording of two seminars by Philip H. Farber that explore the skills and techniques used by gurus, televangelists, politicians and advertisers to build their empires.

Watch as Philip H. Farber, the dynamic, dreadlocked author of FutureRitual: Magick for the 21stCentury, carries out his plans for world domination right before your very eyes. You can sit back and watch, ride his coattails, or use what you will learn from this video to launch your own Megalo Schemes.
Do you want money or sex? Forget it! This is about getting POWER. When you have power, everything else follows!
* Go beyond rapport - learn to generate CHARISMA at will!
* Influence large groups of people, without saying a word!
* Learn televangelist-style hands-on healing - better than Benny Hinn!
* Awaken your Inner Child, give it a spanking, and put it to work mowing the lawn!
* Lose your inhibitions - and keep the profits!
Send your inner child to its room, quit your job, and live like a king or queen with the "How to be a Megalomaniac Too!" video. (Actual mileage may vary.)
So why reboot the series now?
In recent years there have been some big developments in the field of megalomania and quite a bit of new material that can be explored. Yes, the world is weird enough now that megalo skills can be of benefit to the average person (who, of course, isn’t really average if he or she is a True Megalomaniac!). How many people around you have been convinced that their desperate existence is the proper way of things? How many people give up on their dreams, to live lives of boredom and frustration as they fill the crappy roles foisted on them by society? How do we take our lives, our worlds, back for ourselves?
What exactly are Megalo Skills?
As used by advertisers, political entities, gurus and so forth, megalo skills include persuasion and covert manipulation. Those skills, in turn, are based on an ability to observe behavior and respond with appropriate communication. The loop of observation and action has become, on one hand, better understood in recent years and, on the other hand, more complex with the advent of new technology.
Some of the specifics we will discuss and practice:
- Generating rapport in both individual and group situations
- Setting up cognitive frames that warp minds in specific directions
- Postural, breathing, tonality and appearance techniques for group leadership and influence
- Covert anchoring techniques for mass influence
- Using memetics and magick for world change (no frog cartoons necessary, thank you)
- Self Defense from cognitive/hypnotic attack (which you experience constantly, if you use any media)
- And much more!
Expect a bit more theory and science
in the online course
and more group practice in the live workshop.

“Philip H. Farber has once again shown where magick meets the brain.” – Richard Bandler, co-founder of NLP
“[This is] the first magick manual entirely contemporary with modern science and the only one that will really prepare the student for life in the 21st Century.” – Robert Anton Wilson, author Cosmic Trigger and Illuminatus
"Phil Farber has a genius for transformative edu-tainment. His writing captures the warmth and liveliness of his workshops because multisensory experiential processes are part of every page." --Iona Miller, co-author of The Modern Alchemist
"Meta-Magick is a brilliant and patently original book of magical instruction that future generations will revere as an 'ancient classic.'" -- Lon Milo DuQuette, author of My Life with the Spirits and Enochian Vision Magick
"The intent of Farber's ongoing literary sigil is to move his readers beyond the practice of individual magicks into the shared space of collective, consensual hallucination.... Farber quickly branches out in new directions - casting a visionary world picture as if it were a guide book, a description and instruction manual to a realm that is quite literally created in the process of its depiction and subsequent imagination." - Douglas Rushkoff, author of Coercion and Media Virus
