ORIGINAL TEXT FROM THE BOOK
Visibility is not always advantage. It attracts attention, and attention introduces resistance. Systems respond to what is visible. They adapt, counteract, attempt to control. This creates friction that is often unnecessary.
Influence does not require constant visibility.
It requires alignment.
Acting within the system in a way that produces effect without triggering resistance. This is not hiding. It is positioning. Knowing when to be visible and when to operate without exposure.
The most effective actions are often those that appear natural, integrated into the system, not separate from it.
This allows movement without obstruction.
And preserves clarity without distortion from external pressure.
