CHECKLISTS # 2 The Primary Lines

CHECKLISTS # 2.

                      We will be looking at the deep lines of the hand and the variety of directions and number. We will almost always see at least two and or more commonly three lines. Life, Heart, and Head. The heart and head lines can diverge or sometimes conjoin so as to neither rise nor fall. These can flow indistinguishable into the other, going unstopped all the way across the hand as a single line of tension.

                      The life line is the one that goes around the large fleshy mound of Venus. Starting between the index finger (Jupiter) and the thumb Mars). This forms a large curve extending toward the wrist. This association with the wheel of life, this arc of longevity makes the life line the key to measuring time. Variable in length and depth it can and does change as events occur. It is possible to use this line in combination with the other intersecting lines to tell what has and will happen. A short line does not mean a short life but it does bode uncertainty. A long line can be afflicted in such a way that suggests a sudden death. More latter on the the potentially afflicting secondary markings.

                      The head line usually but not always starts in the same place as the life line. It may however start higher on the hand alone or in combination with other subordinate markings depending on the independence of the person in question. In my case, my head line starts very late, not separating from my life line until the correspondent place under my middle (Saturn) finger. Unlike the more unrestrained independent types associated with the higher starting head line I'm very cautious and waited until my middle age to establish myself. I actually like closed spaces and well defined limitations. I also have a rift forming a double life line, an large island of a sort. We will get into paralleling markings when we get to the primary longitudinal lines of fate and the Sun. The line of the head will show where the attention is going inwardly as in forming memories. The line can be straight going across the hand, it can go upward or it can arc down. Straight lines, straight thinking. Gently arching lines up or down on the hand. Rounding toward the Lunar mound makes a more personal aesthetic. Rising lines in general are considered favorable but as we will see the rising of the head line runs into and in fact can become the heart line, blurring the thoughts with emotions. These latitudinal markings are sometimes referred to as the "Simian Crease," because of it's common occurrence on the paws of our Primate Friends. If combined with a complex of central markings this is indicative of the force of active principle. In contrast, the "descending" line of head, can connote a depressive fatalistic outlook as in the case of say jumping to ones death.

                     The line of heart may be wrongly named such because it shows how we direct our attention toward the outside world. The lines of head and heart are sometimes labeled the other way around. But for the sake of consistency the Heart line is starting from under the little (Mercury) finger, and is going across the hand toward the index (Jupiter) finger. I will be calling this the line of the heart. It can be short, straight and or joining the headline. Or it can rise to in between the index (Jupiter) and middle (Saturn) finger. It can be long and extend all the way across the upper parts of the hand. As it can happen with the other markings it can be a compound marking forking into many positions; down, across and rising. Rising heart line means idealistic and are most characteristic of that the persons gender, as in the case of the "Man" or "Woman" of the species. The transverse or descending heart line, as in the "Simian"crease is practical, androgynous and even depressive. Point of interest, Androgyny does not need to make someone any less of a man or a woman. Much to the contrary, people with the "Pragmatic" crease, can be most virile and willful, male or female. But for all of the willfulness of those of us with a "Crease," it often signifies an ability to identify with the opposite gender. In combination with the other heart line markings it is often associated with the most desirable personality as this type of forking of the heart line can even indicate possible genius.

                     This is a lot for today, I so miss the days when the chalk board was my preffered medium of illustration. I will add the pictures as I get them scanned.

                     We will be looking at the Longitudinal lines of fate (Saturn,) brilliance (Sun) and health (Mercury) next.
                   

CHECKLIST # 1 The Fingers

                                                                    CHECKLISTS

                         Time for me to stop putting this off. I'll start with what I work with most, Palmistry. I'll also talk about its correlation with the Tarot and Astrology as it pertains to the planets, the houses and the elemental suits. I'll later try to correlate the traditions of reading as it has evolved to include handwriting analysis.
 
                         Look at your hands. Notice relative finger length. Are they long, short, are some much longer than the others?
   
                         4/5ths of all women have index (Jupiter) fingers that are longer than their ring (Sun) fingers. Conversely 4/5ths of all men have longer ring fingers. This is supposed to be one of the gender determined differences between men and women. As a character trait men and women with the longer ring finger are more sporting, risk taking, and especially for women artistic. This is the trait associated with the normal male inferiority complex and our discomfort with being told what to do. Conversely, woman tend to be much more cooperative and nurturing. In case of the occasional man with a long index finger you could be talking to a man who can take and give orders, a great director. I spend a lot of time in a gym and I can assure you guys are always trying to measure up in some way or another. Most men need the strong grounding energy of feminine intelligence in there life. As my Mom said, quoting Eleanor Roosevelt, "If women ran the world, there would be no war. Women do not fight for sport, they fight to win." You will find many of us guys fight simply not to loose. These basic polarities will be helpful to understand, especially when we come to those perplexing biases, and the so called war between the sexes.

                       Shape of the hands and fingers, are they square, or rounded, or pointed, or maybe spatulate. Square is orderly, dry even mechanical. Rounded is even tempered. Pointed is romantic even fatalistic, believes in destiny. Spatulate fingers come out to form pads almost like puddles. Like toes of the gecko lizard, such people cling and are acquisitive. Knotty bony fingers are philosophical. Most people have a combination of fingers on different kinds of hands. Hands can be of different lengths relative to the fingers. Long hands that come with long fingers, are usually sensitive. Especially with long fingernails, it may take a very long time for these people to get over things. Short hands and fingers usually go along with strong core and a more impulsive nature. Small hands big ideas, big hands small details. A person may have small hands and still have a big head and vice versa. If we have a chance we will look at the diagnostic yin and yang of Physiognomy. I'm going to sign off here for tonight, I want to give a clear general over view or the line markings and how it reflects the bends of the fingers.

                       As always, try to find books on the related subjects. my familiarity with scanning technology is lacking. Almost any books on palmistry will give you basic illustrations, even when wrong.

Cohesive Information

                                                            Cohesive Information

                         Trying to write about technical palmistry is really hard. There are a lot of categories of things you look for, checklists that you can run down by the numbers. But I can assure you, If you know your technical palmistry, [complete with all the generalized false interpretations,] you will be decades ahead of your competitors. Detail is in the devil. Nobody looks at hands.

                          Some subjects are easy to read and I can just do a speed reading. Other times I'm glad for my lack of business. People pester you bad if they think that they are supposed to get a free palm reading off of you. Most peoples hands have limits on how much they can tell you. There is an average variety of different kinds of hands. But frequently you will encounter uniquely beautiful exemplary markings and or pure types.

                          Line depths. Deep lines, where do they go? Up toward the fingers where they are rising? Or downward toward the inward corner of the hands, <Lunar Mound> I really should steal some pictures out of the old books just to show you the traditional attributions of the Seven Sacred Planets to the fingers and mounds. Remember: These are based on myths as metaphor. Not "Facts."

                                           1. The Thumb is Mars, God of war, Masculine, Aggressive, Time and Motion. (Fire.)
                                           2. Venus, Goddess of Love, etc. etc., Fleshy mound below the thumb as it approaches the wrist. Sensuality and Vital Appetites. (Fertility/Earth.)
                                           3. Lunar Mound, Feminine nurturing, bottom quarter of the hand under the little finger. Instincts, Intuitions, the Foundation of Life. (Id)  
                                           4. Little finger, Mercury, Fleet footed messenger of the gods. Guide of the Dead. Communicator, Language, Reason.
                                           5. The Ring finger, The Sun. Creative inner self. Light, Logic and Art. (Air/Ego.)
                                           6. Saturn, Old Father Time, The middle finger. Severity and Fate. (Water/Death.)
                                           7.Jupiter, The index finger. Fortune, Opportunity, Leadership & Direction. (Super Ego.)  

                          As we are examining our Tarot and Kaballa, we will be seeing a beautiful symmetry mirrored between these practices. Coalesced out of eons of tradition have come these most wonderful disciplines. You do not have to agree with the language or interpretations. What is important is to learn the territory that the information covers. The purely topical overview of these subjects, on the differentiation of personality by type and the analysis of human dynamics, makes learning this supposedly absurd information really practical. The nomenclature may seem outdated, irrelevant and contradictory, but there is nothing other than these unrelated traditions and their attributional models. But learning these maps in their territories is "metaphorically" perfect, the poetic languages holds together very nicely under close scrutiny.

                         Dividing the hand up like the hours of a day is that old wheel of fortune spinning in your hands. You will be looking at projective models of peoples whole life. Highs, lows, advances and retreats, ins and outs. Beginnings and endings. The metaphor threads through and mirrors by comparison.  The modules of your life's story is contained in your own packaging. You will be able to get over that tendency to expect people to conform to your expectations. It's one of the big payoffs for studying people by type. You can learn to see past prejudice, recognizing the absurdity of judgements and assumptions. Nothing is more liberating than being able to look through someone else's eyes, to walk in their  shoes, to be able to imagine what others might feel. Something which can only be done by analogy.

                         If you give yourself a chance to understand the scope of what psychic readings in general are covering, you will learn to see precise details about people as individuals. In essence, The maps are simply just labeling by analogy. The words are not the destination, I'm just giving direction.

Have you ever noticed how important it is to be able to read and follow instructions? I am fascinated by the reading and writing of information. I find getting good instruction is something I crave, almost like a drug. I seem to have no better of way learning something other than to get it personally with the help of somebody else.

                          Everybody loves clear instructions. Especially us guys, we often have that normal male inferiority complex. A lot of my guy friends can't be told what to do if they aren't focused in on wanting to be listening. I'm so stubborn, I will actually tell people,  "You are right. I am not listening to you."  I not being rude but I like to save my denials for important things. It''s not easy having Bat hearing, the nose of a bloodhound and the brittle nerves of a steroid junkie. I like myself plenty but I need a lot of sleep. I need and love clarity. I can only hope that I make sense.

                          I promised not to make this book about me. As funny as it is that I am the "real thing" if indeed the real thing even exists. The curse of blessings would have to be expressed here in this blog. If I can make sense as an authority of psychic reading, I will do so quickly. Time is essential. For what I want, I have the time to be writing about reading. My writing to you is me reading for you. I want to give you cohesive instructions.

                          Each one of these blog posts are individual readings. I want there to be clear connections in the information. Ideally the info is handy. I also demonstrate the use of a non linear argument. The story telling in the individual pages of my book is structured by my time. Just like a good reading.

                          Some subjects are easy to read and I can just do a speed reading. Other times I'm glad for my lack of business. People pester you bad if they think that they are supposed to get a free palm reading off of you. Most peoples hands have limits on how much they can tell you. There is an average variety of different kinds of hands. But frequently you will encounter uniquely beautiful exemplary markings and or pure types.

A Spark of Life

 
                                                                   A Spark of Life

                          Understanding the cyclical nature of events is useful but when we want results we must consider finality. From the point of view for each and every person the concept of fate involves a kind of deterministic fatalism. Forgive me for talking to the elephant in the room. The most rational reason for wanting to shun any psychic is fatalism. It is very difficult to look at someones hands or eyes and to be able to see how and when they are going to die. Eventually, inevitably the spark of life does it's job. It sets the world on fire, it consumes the fuel that feeds that flame of being, and then is no more.

                           Were we to ever want to be a psychic, we hope for having good things to say to people. People say, "Tell me just the good things," or "Tell me everything, don't tell me just the good things." Rarely am I ever going to say anything bad, or else I'll try to frame someones defects in terms that are about a real life problem so that it doesn't have to be about them. Anybody who has had a bad life will have been dealt "A Bad Hand. That's not about them. Why blame someone for having been born with a genetic disease. (Easy to recognize.) Or what about the child of war, and or of poverty, domestic abuse or otherwise. These are often the same people who can do great good or evil. Just because someone is born healthy or rich doesn't mean they weren't traumatized as children and wont end up poor, sick or ill tempered. (Also easy to see.)

                           My Mom was both a very good mother and a "terrible mother." (Read: "THE GREAT MOTHER" An Analysis Of The Archetype, By Erich Neumann)

                           When I was very young Mom said;
"The Spark of Awareness is that thing that motivates us to want to live. Even if just for a short time. Life is so precious that even children that come into the world without being born have a will to exist." Mom called such children door knockers, because they ask to come into life but never get born. "Children born with illness are often unbelievably brave, for the same reason. She said, "Pity no one." From her wheel chair she said, "Do you think I want to be pitied?" "That person you're feeling sorry for, may experience joy's and happiness you could never imagine."

                          This is where it get's truly interesting, because life is in fact a precariously critical state, that "Spark of Life" is the only real causation. The world might be likened to closed room filled with explosive gas. The "Spark of Life" is sometimes the only thing that is needed to take a very stagnant situation and turn it over, clearing the room. This may seem like an odd thing to look forward to, but when you've seen as much death as I have, you learn to see the world as a cup overflowing. Add a pinch of social entropy and we are looking at a very stagnant and combustible society. A nobody like me can do great harm. When I was 23 I took a vow of harmlessness. With the kinds of tools and weapons I was having heaped upon me I had good cause to remain invisible.

                          I myself do not believe in "Fatalistic Determinism." Yet I must confess being able to predict peoples individual behaviors is way too easy. All you have to do is understand the unique peculiar quirks of a persons world view and then we become amazingly predictable. "What happened to free will?" you ask. Causation, if such a thing exists, is in that "Spark of Awareness." This cannot be controlled. "The Self Is Ubiquitous." We are everywhere. We are where we look. We are what we see. We are who we are and what we do.

                          This is by far the most unpleasant post I've written so far. Yet you should not have to mature as readers without understanding that bittersweet melancholy that drives us onward when it may seem like life has come to a dead end.

The Window Of Opportunity {OUTLIERS}

                                                       The Window Of Opportunity


                        Most people might be reluctant to look at near death experiences as windows of opportunity. This is where the "BOOKS OF THE DEAD" will be indispensable. They deal with the falling away of attachments through the weighing of the good and evil deeds. I will spell it out, but not tonight.

                        I keep re-editing the older posts for clarity. Time is no luxury. Life is so short. If you readers aren't hating me by now I am amazed. None of my friends read my blog. It's like when I show them the deep connective tissue massage called "DOIN." Most people are just eager to get it over with and don't even care how it's done. It works, that's all that's important to most of them, understandably. I'm well known and even loved but I am also remembered for the decades I was the mad hermit hunchback of Lake St.   The Doctors had just sent me home with a dislocated neck. I was told to never use my arms again. I was expected to end up paralyzed in a wheelchair. I wasn't expected to live. But with discipline, I've taken exceptional alternative medical resources into a decent recovery. I'm not going to focus on my own near death experiences.

                        I want so much to make this information easy to understand. This is my window of opportunity. I may be an outlier. This could be a terrible long shot. I may be fooling myself if I think that something that is so difficult for me, will ever be easy to explain. My mother told me I was never going to be able to explain what I'm doing with people.

                        I must say I don't know how you people in Russia are getting to read this. My traffic sources stats tell me you are getting "ZENOPHILE" through the server for, "The Tao of Badass." Woof! What's that about? Oh yeh, seduction seminars. I support them in their desire to inform men about feminine psychology if it can help to alleviate the ignorance that pollutes. Maybe it's because I'm teaching people how to read people. It all still seems like a strange dream anyways. I hope this doesn't take me away from finishing this book. It probably wont. I have been studying and documenting applied spiritual technologies all my life but I never expected that the basic thrust of the writings would be about such basic real social issues. Like opinion biases, blind spots, sensitive boundaries, symbolic languages and of course subjective awareness. I do love my work and I want that it shows.

                        Like I said, I don't know why you are keeping up with reading my blog. But thank you. You are helping me to appreciate my windows of opportunity. May I have the privilege of doing the same for you. Good night world. I love you.    
                                                         

Another Life

                                                                      Another Life

                          A couple of months ago, at a cafe I've enjoyed for decades, I was seeing the world through someone else's eyes. I think you live some where in maybe Estonia, it seems like you live near the Baltic Sea. I've been here often in my dreams. Because of type 2 Manic depression, I tried not to get exited. I've worked hard, trying to not have constant De Ja Vu. I want to be able to live in the world of people without being a disruptive influence. Some people when confronted with the opportunity to be able to live just one life, will risk their health. In a mad dash for oblivion, people may not want to be healthy if it means they risk loosing their Muse.

                          When I go to sleep, I step through a pale shimmering veil. Next I fly. It's true, often backwards. My dream life has area codes and property taxes. I know everyone by name over there just like over here. I have several apartments in different countries. My work is very interesting too. I lecture with a major technical research and interview business. I often have to travel the world to investigate cults. Often I"m extracting people diplomatically ready to rejoin society. Often the leaders are the prisoners. I'm interviewed by representatives of the institutions in exchange for hostages. Usually I just tell people what I feel and see, what's going to happen. I'm good at explaining why they will want to be letting us go. Usually people just give up the fight. I have spoken. But I hate airport travel over there just as much as I do over here. (I know how stupid this sounds. How could I not know?)

                          I've tried to keep this to myself, but it's time to tell. I have an inner extra life. My dreams are much more mundane now most of the time. But it was good to be able to dump the fantasy. I hated believing my own hype. I read in my sleep. Sometimes I fall asleep when I'm reading someone, it looks like I'm channeling. It's a good thing I don't drive. One moment I'm talking to someone, then all of a sudden I'm somewhere else. Everything right. Most of the time I can wake up. Not always.

                          The subject is a little boring. The experience is amazing. I'm a pro,.                            

Knowing the Difference Between Innocent Naivete' and Arrogant Denial.

                             
                                   Knowing the Difference Between Innocent Naivete' and Arrogant Denial.


                          Personal differences can predispose people to be utterly naive about each other. Blind spots can for most people seem like insurmountable barriers. For instance most men have a very limited understanding of the strengths and virtues of the female brain. Most woman are not that much better at understanding men. Polarity for most is like an Iron Curtain. Negotiations easily break down. Try to set a good example by not taking resistance personally. Tact is golden.

                         Watching people's responses is about the only way you will know if someone is actually hearing what you are trying to communicate. You will want to prepare yourself for the variety of evasive behaviors people exhibit. When people don't like what you are saying, don't get discouraged. Most skeptics are actually going to want to try to listen. But they have usually formed exclusively biased opinions about psychics. However, only a smaller portion of skeptics will take it upon themselves to be jerks toward you. Like I've said, they will want to think you are insane, ignorant or stupid. Try not to take it personally. Your true believers are going to be much more annoying anyways, just because they will want you to be just like them, in faith as well as in bias.

                          If you can see past personal biases you simply change the game to include the person you are reading to. They don't have to agree with you. But you will have to be agreeable to them, You will want to frame what you say for that particular person. But don't pretend you are going to change anyone's opinion. You can be dead right about knowing that the woman's fiance is a lounge lizard. But even if the bride "to be," hears you; she may not be able to, or even want to, protect herself. So always leave yourself the option of being ignored. History is littered with legends about great and powerful idiots who wouldn't listen. Not to mention those schmucks who hear you, but who will arrogantly chose to reinterpret what a reader says, just to serve themselves, usually with disastrous results. Not to even bring up the psychic who oversteps their ground by imposing their opinions as "TRUTH." There are always more psychics if you really need to spend your money.

                         Let's look at another 3 "Cycle Models." This first one I saw on "Sesame Street," a very popular children's educational program here in the U.S. I'll call it a "Wheel of Emotion."

                                                                      2.Adulthood
                                                                        {>,}Angry

                                     1.Youth       { ^,}Happy     "O"       {v,}Sad       3.Maturity

                                                                        Fearful{<,}
                                                                        4.Death

                          We will compare this type of model to a similar but unrelated artifact of "THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD," This is mapping the realms of attachment we all confront as we die. (I'll finish this tomorrow morning. It's really good I'm finally getting this academic stuff written down.)  I'll also start laying out the symmetrical mappings for "TAROT," four suits {elements,} etc.      

Entering: Your Mirror Agent, What's Empathy?

                                               
                                       Entering: Your Mirror Agent, What's Empathy?

                          What is Empathy? From the Greek, meaning: in, feeling. As opposed to sympathy, which was from; with, feeling. Sorry, let me try again. Empathy, the ability to understand or share the feelings of another. An empath is listed as being primarily just science fiction.

                          There are studies being made on the theory of human mirror neurons. This may be where we process things like micro expressions, body language and signature style. The "ECHO IMPRINT," occurs at this very subconscious muscle memory level of awareness. We generally never remember the process of remembering all of the distinguishing qualities of a persons presence, but we still remember.

                          The reason I've put so much emphasis on things like opinion bias and sensitive boundaries is because of the potential scarcity of new information someone may be able to give you, you will have to be able to accurately imagine what someone might be able to feel. Mirroring will only give you subjective awareness.

                           One of the things fundamental to psychic reading technologies, is the breaking down for the variability of temperament. Analyzing for identifiable differences comes down to categorical checklists. Thus we have the modular decomposition of the ancient Meta Formal Logic, <by Enumerate partition.> "Some People Are Very Different, Very Differently."

                           The various elemental systems like Astrology, I Ching, Tarot and such will help you to think of people as discreet samplings for continuums of human variability. Hence the statistics of the stochastic. You will learn to be able to make informed comparisons strictly through familiarity with your medium. If you know your medium well, you will know it's limitations. Some models are designed to be more vague. Of the oracles I've studied, the I Ching is the most pointed in it's Fortune Telling. I advise not being too hard on yourself. No one is immune. The cards, stars, yarrow sticks or numbers can totally harsh a buzz. Everyone can have blind spots, ........ As you acquire the skill, (if you ever acquire the skill, it may not be worth the pain of knowing,) you will be able to interpret your own subjective awareness. Knowing your own philosophical model for reality will help you to interface with other people who are different from you in ways that can delight. Hopefully personal differences will be something you can learn to appreciate.

That Flower of Symmetrical Coalescence

                                             That Flower of Symmetrical Coalescence

                          Good evening. As the cycles of time come round on them selves we see the models for human diversity coalesce into a symmetrical flower. I was quite happy to look up, Bloom's "TAXONOMY" in Wikipedia. It is designed to look like a 6 petaled flower. Just like; The 12 Astrological Signs/ Months/Hours <12 parts> The Eneagram <9 petals>, The Chinese Five Element System <5 petals>, The 4 Temperaments or Directions <4 parts>,  and so on, all of these models have a kind of modular symmetry. Each of the individual parts are similar in form and function.

                          We start with that original division of comparing one thing to another. Yang to Yin, larger to smaller, male to female, bottom to top and so forth. From that first pairing we go from a single point to a line connecting the two points. Adding another point we come to three points which forms a surface. A forth point added to our set, if it is out of the plane of the first three points our model goes from just an area to an actual volume. With a 5th dimension we go from the substance and it's form next to motion and time. {Elementary Caballa, 101} and so on. {Check Crowley's NAPLES ARRANGEMENT in the "BOOK OF THOTH.}

                          Such is the case for any analysis of a multi-variant statistic. With each new variable we add an extra dimension. Every time we are comparing more than just a couple of different variables we are creating progressively more possible combinations of variety. We as people really are this interesting. Knowing about all these detailed differences between different people is easier to understand if we are oblivious to statistical analysis and the calculus of variation involving huge numbers. This is why I have avoided trying to bring up this very heavy issue of human variability until now.

                          This is the key to understanding "Meta Formal Logic." Each unity, (a person, the sky, the earth, the seasons, time, the family, etc,) are all divided equally. {By the process I call, an "Enumerate Partition."} And then all of these individualized parts are drawn back together again as the reunified totality. {Here we come to what I have come to describe as, the "Symmetrical coalescence."}

                          Why these conventions have remained consistent throughout human history, I really can't say. But fortunately for those of us with a respect for unanswered questions these tools have great utility. And frankly I really can't imagine measuring something as abstract as time any other way.

                          I must confess that for all of the information I'm writing here on this infinite scroll, You, My discriminating readers are scrutinizing the blog and focusing in on central theme. I believe this document will be much easier to read in hard copy edited to be read from the beginning. But of course re editing will make the final draft.

Interest Based Learning

                 
                      Generally we have two very different ways of learning. All of us have been confronted with the structured basics of reading, writing and arithmetic, history, social studies and physical education. But most of us have also felt the pull of personal interests motivating and directing our attentions into potentially unfamiliar areas of exploration. If you happen to be very self directing, this could be the class for you. However let it be said, I too often hate unstructured learning. Sometimes it does not pay to explore unsupervised. I can't protect you from going off unprepared into that wilderness of social climbing. But learn we must and sometimes our best work is completely unnoticed. I read an interesting analogy of the popularity of string theory amongst physicists. Roger Penrose, in his book, "THE ROAD TO REALITY," near the end of this big book, tells a story about how, people may choose to go it alone into territories unexplored. But when even the destinations are still unknown, people will often follow a popular tour guide. At least this way when we are lost, we are not alone.

                     In essence this is where we are. I don't consider myself the authority on the subject of divination, but I am one of the only people I have ever heard of that is taking this daring approach of walking right down the middle of that path of neutrality. It's very logical and studied. But although many will be following us, I do not consider, "Complementarity" to be that final answer. I could be right however to drag these denigrated traditions of psychic reading out of the tea rooms and side streets back out into the light of day. I intend to prove that divination is entertainment. Wish me luck. The depth of theory behind my work is probably going to be missed by virtually everyone. And even if you do happen to understand why I put so much emphasis on the dynamic of conflicting opinion bias, no one else is even going to care. <That is why this is considered "Magic/Occult." Almost no one gets it.> And so for the most part, your methods, your skills will remain hidden. A truly gifted magician can reveal their tricks and still not be giving anything away.

                    So. There is no escaping the fundamentals. But have we the interest necessary to pursue our studies without the constraints of popular biases, one may create something new and unexpected. We can make psychic reading fun and interesting again. This is true of any unique area of inquiry. When we ask a difficult question that we don't already know the answer to, a new place opens in our mind that otherwise would never have been noticed. Enter: This is an inner classroom of your own design. May you be nourished by your healthy rational interests.

"Speed reading"

                                                                  "Speed reading"

                          Hi. Recognizing people as individuals is a rare gift. Asking someone their sign may tell you something about someones reaction to that question, but it lacks clarity, precision. I've been told to recognize you, my readers as the individuals you are. Thank you to the traffic sources; Vampirestat, Filmhill and t.co for bringing this blog to my readers without me even asking. Strange, but thank you anyway.
                          And a nod to my friends in Russia. I haven't a clue how you found me, but this will be especially fun for you because outside Chinese diagnostics, I know of no other country that I know of that has Medical Palmistry.

                          As with all high resolution intimacy, be prepared to know when to stop right away. When you are able to get close to people quickly it gives you access. "Speed reading" can be dangerous. You don't want to hurt anyone. Least of all yourself.

                          I've already taught you about looking closely at people. I can see into peoples hands from across a room. Same with hand writing. Side point; How you look is never as important as how you treat people. Personal appearances are for making others comfortable, and for making you more approachable. Beautiful people are cursed. Don't get too distracted.You will get used to looking past objectification.

                           Say to someone you want to talk to, "I'm studying palmistry," and or say, "Can I look at your hands." Be innocent. People love and respect courage in the face of vulnerability. Look! Observe as much as you can without wasting time. Talk about what you; See. Feel. Are unfamiliar with. The little details. Be honest. Don't be weird, you are already taking a major risk. Expect nothing. Be prepared for anything. Share. Don't pander or persuade. You will always get a much clearer reading if you don't try to impose your opinions.

                          Study, but the truth is, the texts are very general and outside the relative norms of line placement, depth, directions and skin texture, the books are only a loose structure of guidelines. Your basic typologies are never going to cover all the variations of deep and fine line patterns, hand shapes or unique genetics. Palm reading as with handwriting is a nuanced detailed discipline.

                         This is where learning to be, "Sensitive," will help to keep you from wasting time. A sincere attempt is all you really can expect and people will generally appreciate your desire to remain unencumbered by the pathetic need for validation. My secretary also says, "Never stop talking." That's to keep people from jumping to conclusions, thinking the worst about what it is you are going to end up saying. The reader who groans is just asking to have a freaked out person on their hands, Saying, "What? What do you see? Is it bad?"

                           I know that what I'm teaching you is not easy. If you take the time to read the manual, browse the required reading list, you can ask to look at peoples hands and whatever else they will let you study. You will have much more to work with than almost all of the other so called psychics. Almost no one is ever any good at being a psychic. Ever! But don't take my word for it. You may be a natural like me. The other Psychics, mostly women, often hate me for reading by the numbers. It does free up my attention so I can play nicely with others. Knowing the territory keeps me from getting too confused when someone questions those ancient, (if not outdated?) mappings.

Calculating for Risk

                                                       
                                                                Calculating for Risk

                          Hexagram 12, 5th line; Wilhelm Barnes translation "BOOK OF CHANGES"
                       
                          a) Standstill is giving way. Great fortune for the great man. "What if it should fail, What if it should fail?" In this way he ties it to a cluster of Mulberry shoots.
                          b) The good fortune of the superior man consists in the fact that the place is correct and appropriate.

                           People have been coming to psychics, readers, mediums, oracles, etc, for as long as we have had language. (Possibly a baseless assertion.) Calculating risk is the whole reason reading is so dangerous. Economists can be wrong. Doctors can be wrong. Detectives can be wrong. If you can make educated guesses about calculating risks, you have an advantage. If your wrong, that is to be expected! That's where style and tact will teach you practical humility.

                     
                        If you are interested in "Speed reading," Be Prepared. "If you want become adept and adroit at reading, You must read as much as you can." Quoted from my teacher, Steve. If you like a good adventure story this could be fun. Enjoy.

Persistent Points of View

                          Point of view: By checking my blog stats, I've found a URL of a many continuing page hits from Russia. I know of theses readers. They market relationship and seduction materials, and porn. I once sent them a comment about how though I'm not interested in their training information at this time, I recognize the "Applied Games Theory."They are using "games theory" in the content they are selling. I would like to feel good about their interest, but I'm not sure what their intentions are. These are very shrewd people. I personally love the whole subject of human relations, so I will presume that whatever is done with my work is honorable. Please people, protect yourself. I am choosing to take a very calculated risk. Choosing to write my book on the web directly is for the evidence of process, not product. The products will have to sell itself. It soon should be available in book form. No one is going to be able to steal it. For now it's free.

                          As frequently happens, controversial points of view persist. The arguments about "Psychics" aren't going away, pro or con. It's not just a parlor game any more. It has become a painful reminder for many of us, of how gullible we as humans really can be, pro and con. This has nothing to do with being a real living sensitive or a statistical profiler or diagnostician. Much to the contrary. We wouldn't need competent sensitives unless people were capably misinformed and or intellectually and emotionally constipated. Buyer Beware. Everyone has blind spots, and everyones blind spots are different. {2nd Axiomatic Rule of the Para Psychological Method}

                          Ever observe the way that as time goes on, the profusion and novelty of fashions and cultivated tastes always continue to change, but somethings can't be improved. The "Classics" become the benchmarks by which everything else is judged. This is why people hate psychics. We are traditional. We are investigators. We are trained to look for what others don't see, and don't want to question. Persistently, nothing has come along to replace us. Our dubious views persist. Voila. How can you replace something that never goes out of style unless you destroy it? How can you destroy something useful, even if it is just a fashionable art form? It's just more culture, your beliefs aren't the critical real issue.

                          I find it particularly odd that the persistent Iconoclasm of the monotheistic religions have been retained by the atheistic positivists, while ignoring the useful documentary histories which in fact may be the most rational elements of mass religion. The Old Testament, is the first documentation of sundry cleanliness and practical epidemiology, even if it is all bundled in with a lot of other stuff that is no longer relevant. The obscurity of the practical documentary history is lost of the  religiously biased on both side of the pro /con biases and antagonism.

                          Hence we have arrived here at a society where people on opposite sides of arguments can be equally arbitrary in their judgmental zealotry. What ever happened to the scientific method? I thought we are supposed to be looking for the uncertainties, the as yet unknown. I think in this 21st Century a little moderation is called for when it comes to understanding conflicting philosophies, and their abuses. I know it is preferable to think, that if you think something is bullshit, It is. But having someone look at your hands is not always a waste of your time. "Please tell me not everything I've done is bad." Quotation of Claude MONET.

               

To Go Where Words Dare Not Enter

                                                     To Go Where Words Dare Not Enter


                          Reading for people can be a kind of lyrical poetry. There is never enough time to waste. But for most of use, "Voice Training" is a simple way of getting ahead of the dialog. Try reading the blog out loud. Or even better, turn up the radio, and sing. Do it. For yourself alone of course. This works best if you do it alone but there are lots of great confidence building exercises.

                          This important training a person gets involves learning to "Speak." You can be a person with profound social anxiety. That can actually help. You will want to feel the difference between simply holding your tongue, and when some one is actively censuring you. In either case, only you may hear or speak for the little voice." (Entering: The Small "i" [May 27th, 2013]) Learning the fundamentals of Tarot, Astrology, I Ching, Rune Stones, Chinese Medical Diagnostics, etc; can become your chosen medium of expression. But if you never learn to trust yourself, you wont project. Again, "Communication is not a two way street." Sometimes we can communicate with words.

                           Have you ever noticed how often people at the top of their game, are so willing to refuse unnecessary feedback? I'm not suggesting that anyone ever becomes immune or above needing constructive criticism. I just mean that saturation is inevitable. Don't expect validation. You are the medium. Not God.

                           When we learn to climb that ladder of infinity, from novelty into mastery, you move past that chaos of profusion, through into a place of order. Everything has a place. Everything can be ordered. Every word has number.

                           But caution, please. It is not always what you say that is critical. But how you say it. And equally, what need not be said. As you train yourself to recognize the territory, you may (and maybe should,) abandon the maps entirely. Most of you will never become that comfortable but study the territory right along with maps and charts anyways. They will help you to structure pertinent information according to tried and true modeling for the distributions of human variability. Being right is not always desirable. Often say little or nothing.

                           The key to responsible mediumship is humility. Listen for the silence. Those little holes in what you know are your key to understanding. When you don't know the answer, that's when you are being psychic. Be able to enjoy your medium. Be honest. Project. You are the medium. Communicate. Don't let others decide for you what you say. Just know, you don't always have to know. Learn to say nothing if you want. Just say no. I want to hear you say it. "No." "I don't know." Say it again. "No." "I don't know."

                           If your career is anything like mine you will see thousands of pairs of hands and samples of handwriting. You will hear their voices and look into their eyes. You will touch their hands and perceive the distinctiveness of each one, hopefully. "ECHO IMPRINTING" April 9nth, 2013

                           But as you mature if you are doing it correctly you are going to meet the occasional Psycho. Beware! Divination is dangerous. You can end up dead. History is littered with examples of people who were "Dead Right." Take a page from the classics. If you ever are able to have my level of skill you will be able to spot the mass murderers from across the room at first sight. Not pretty. Be humble. Remember poor proud Cassandra. She just had to be right and make sure that everyone knew it.
 
     

Anatomy of the Psyche + Recommended Reading

Reading List is at the bottom of the page.                                

                       
                         If you have been able to enjoy and or appreciate my book so far, congratulations. This is where things may get interesting for you. If you are a true believer step back. This is going to sting. People will think you are superstitious. If you have doubts perfect. Everyone should. Now for your training. Accepting others doubts is honest and professional. It's your key to understanding Human Nature. Boundaries are to be sensed, not broken.              
         
                          In admission of the purely mechanical elements of Psychic Reading I must comment that this is somewhat difficult for me to say:
                       
                          "I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE TRUSTED!'  Theoretically. As difficult as this proposition is, I am your reader. I am your teacher. This is a game. And that's O. K. We understand that any amount of time and talking, has a beginning and a destination. Period. I don't want to waste your time. I don"t want you to waste your money. I hope you enjoy the process. You must be prepared to sense and respond to a full range of defenses everyone has.

                          I offer you the opportunity to become a "Technical Psychic." <Patent Pending> For free. I would like to see if it can be done. I'm writing this book. It's about a story that writes itself. It gets old fast. I mean I can use everyone and anyone who can understand. I never had to consider what I do until I had to understand why it works at all. Why can I do this with a clear conscience?
                                 
                          For an unlimited time "I Can Make You a Psychic," will give you the skills and techniques of this so called ability. I suspect that If I'm right, it wont work as well for the true believers. But It may work for just about any body and it's actually a lot more fun if you are not a true believer. Sorry. This product is being tested on this end too.

                         ( I can easily show you in writing all the real tricks of being a competent and humane psychic. : caution, Devil's Bargain ahead.) Surprise your friends, annoy your relatives, etc.

       More soon

                         I believe this is the point to hide the bulk of my work, where anyone can find it but no one will see it. In a blog about that gaping "Black Box" of diagnostics, and it's accompanying "Void of Uncertainties," hiding the truth in plain sight is very much in accord. 1st I'll need to offer the reading lists. Please bare with me as I'm going to allow time to review my bibliographical notes:

                          Get used to noticing people, Observe fine detail. Come on, the books are out there.
                                           Watch for style, don't think about it, just watch.
                       
                         Take an active inventory of those distinct details of everyone. Look! Ask questions.
                                            Look at hands and writing. Don't judge. Look. See, smell, sense and respect. It's actually difficult to be seeing each other under a Microscope. And try not to say much of anything. Don't expect to feel competent right away because beginners luck tends to skew the perceived benefits, Just keep looking at the maps. Compare, Analyze. The charts and diagrams organize people into different types of groups; Astrology charts, Hand writing and Palmistry checklists, Mappings for temperaments by Medicinal Elements;  Each one is different according to the modules. Metrics of spectrum phenomena in comparative models of human diversity, divide people evenly around an axis. Sounds gross. It can be. Learn to be wrong.

                         Study. Get as much of this nonsense in your mind as possible. Let it turn to mush in your brain and then forget about it. You will get so used to listening to your own body that even if you wanted to lie you couldn't do it convincingly.  You have to tell stories. Brief concise mappings of hopefully interesting people. (Did I say thankless job?)
                       
                         Give yourself a chance to know other peoples sensitive boundaries. Don't worry about it. You will have to take it kinda easy.

                         Try not to talk too much. You are getting more comfortable with your own and other peoples sensitive boundaries.

                         Everyone lies. "Try to make what you say the truth, always." {Opt out clause in the Devil's contract.} Protect yourself.

                          Never give unsolicited advice. This should be written in stone.
                                             Generally don't give advice, People should pay for there own therapy.
  
                         Always give full credit to initiative. If someone asks a good question let them know.
                                             You are not required to have all the answers. You don't know everything. Tell the truth. Say, "I don't Know, But we may be able to conjecture what an answer may look like." Be honest. <PSYCHIC> Boom.

                         Never seem to volunteer.  It's very hard to do. Stay out of trouble, don't make promises.

                         Never Volunteer. Share, never pander. MInd your own business. Let other people decide what they want to do. If you have nothing to gain, You always win. Try it. It can make a miserable job much more fun for everyone. And you don't have to believe. Be a good showman and deal with hecklers with merciless dignity. Agree with them and gently read the hell out of him. Gently.

                        Try to have fun. It's only a game. Maybe the only game, (Other than Prostitution,) in continuous play from before written history.  It's a very sacred  and ancient form of oral tradition.

                        The basic criteria I have outlined are for everyones protection. Most people will not be good candidates for this program, simply due to time and personal space. No ones fault, Why would anyone choose to add that much extra weight to their psyche unless it was the right thing to do. Anyone who wants to be a psychic shouldn't be trusted anyway. Would you trust anyone who wanted to be a politician? People will think you are corrupt and crazy.

                        And again thank you so much. You are so brave to participate in this very radical and risky experiment. You are all too amazing.

Building Your Own Spook

Building Your Own Spook


                          Good morning. In the attempt to offer a content driven blog, I'm delighted to discover that I'm reaching a very discriminating audience. I watch the Stats feature on my blog, Go Russia. The real shocker is that in spite of the difficulty in collating such diverse issues as "SPIRITUAL TECHNOLOGY," in order to reach a discriminating readership, I must be true to the methodology of a double blind. I cannot know my readers. As with the writing of any major work, one must be able to have faith and step away from the expectations of reward. As someone who has reached saturation with my craft, I no longer care for validation.
   
                          I jokingly like to say to people, "Do you want to be my pimp?" Generally people get the joke but secretly people feel that sense of dread when they know you must always suffer for your art. Do you not want to suffer? Or is it that you don't want your mother to see you suffer?

                          As I review and edit my posts I am happy to see that the over all quality of my work conveys what I am trying to say. I can already see that the text is way too dense for casual reading. Good.

                          Many of us alive today have lived through terrible wars and are traumatized. Not to mention plagues, starvation and the decay of the educational industry. I know more than a few spooks, living ghosts. People who for all intent and purpose are practically dead. Why should I persist in a little thing like the demystification of Chirography, Chiromancy, Physiognomy and Alternative Medicine in general? Because, it is there. I'm a little too smart for my own good too. I'm spooky. You don't know me, yet.

                          I bathe in the beautiful light of the human soul. Somedays, when I see people on the streets and I hate total strangers. No reason. Just the sound of their voice, something. I hate being angry. Adrenalin doesn't agree with me. But ahh, the radiance of the human soul. When we shine, humans are unbelievably beautiful. An agony so beautiful I can not bare to live without. I don't like being spooky, but I am.

                          And oh , as for the ghosts we create, that we are, that we will become, these are our disembodied unfulfilled desires.

Modularity in Ancient Meta Data

                           In our shared history of retained ancient scientific conventions, Our history has been distorted by politics and religion. Some of the conventions that have been denied: are medical, religious, political and historical. Campaigns of dis-information are integral to mass culture and popular bias.

                           One of the most difficult of things to write is the linear narrative of heavily indexed documentation. Hence the oral traditions of letters. Torat, Testaments, Gita, Maha Bharata, Sepher Yetzeroth (Kaballa,) I Ching, Tao Te Ching, The Sutras, etc, All verse. All text. All linear narrative.

                           Each is a totality. Each studied and memorized as muti faceted works of a Modular World View. All the parts are thought of as reflecting Unity.

Meta Formal Logic and The Wheel of Life

                          What do the Wheel of Life, the Riddle of the Sphinx and the "OM" have in common. All three are "Meta Formally Logical," "Ancient" and they are measures of time. Let's look at the mappings.

                           It's time we get to it. The sphinx asked Oedipus, "What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?" I'm not going to go into why guys want to marry their mom types, Oedipus. In the morning of life babies crawl. At our peak of life we stand to walk. In maturity we are forced to use crutches to lean on. Four legs, two legs, and at last three.

                           With this triangulation of life's full measure, we come next to the wheel of life, the three "Gunas." (Much has been written about this elastic concept that has many definitions. Hindu philosophy, in English, Crowley's, THE BOOK OF THOTH.") The three Gunas or electricities are descriptive analogies for the basic forces of life. Positive (Fire, creative, masculine); Transitive (Air, active, alternating); Negative (Water, receptive, feminine.) Regrettably, with the institutionalization of Vedic dogma came the Caste system with it's classism and it's misogyny. But the essential principles have survived in Arhvedic medicine.

                            The "OM" from the Upanishads, is the logical extension of this philosophical artifact of the "Wheel of Life." And later came the Buddhist, "Wheel of Law," (Karma.) But the Idea is basically the same. Up, then over, and then down; a beginning, the middle, and then the irreversible punishing end. How the law of Karma ever became a law of punishment I really don't understand but it would seem that any religion can be majorly flawed.

                             Ah, the "OM" is the most pristine and elegant of all the mantras. As a chanted utterance, it signifies the zoom of consciousness in life through the world. Say "A," "U," "M." With the silence at the end of each breath, each life, each moment; there is the moment of rest, of release, a moment in preparation of the next breath, the next life, the next eternity.

                             "A," The positive creative opening, starting aspirant. "U," The transitive active part of the expression. "M," The muting closing off of the sound rounding off the resonance in acceptance of the temporal. And then silence, the breath, life and awareness is refreshed, in preparation to start again. "A" childhood/ the morning /spring. "U" adulthood/the active mid day/ summer. "M" old age/ evening/ autumn. And silence/ death/ the winter. You will find these kind of meta formal metrics throughout all Bronze Age philosophical language. Thank you, There should always be a beginning, a middle and an end.

Growing into a new history NEXT CORE DOCUMENTATION

                          Wheel of life:

                                                         2.  Monogamy / Marriage                    
                                  1.  Childhood Abstinence  ~X~  3. Post Monogamy / Promiscuity
                                                         4.  Emotional Affairs / Transitional Relationships

                            Let's look at another one of my models. Circular maturation. When we are children we are sexually pure. We were all tops, starting on the wheel of life the first "Ideal" prepares us for the assent into "Marriage." Ideally from virgins we are sanctified for becoming uncorrupted "Parents." Anything past a personal history of monogamy implies an adultery, a non-monogamy. I know this sounds like B.S. but bear with me just a little longer. From the top of the wheel we turn again downward. We mature to an almost inevitable state of non-monogamy. Maturation can always be seen as a decline into a lower energy state. Post marital divorce almost always precedes 2nd marriages, however now days most of us lost our virginity before marriage. <Promiscuity is by definition any sexual contact with more than one other person.> This obviously can't be the end. We reach the bottom of the cycle only prepared to take on a new beginning with the ability to "love" many people emotionally, even without attachment. Maturation does seem to involve new capacities for a "love " that can again be pure, and it is generally not sexual. Unlike a supposed "one " true love, Emotional Affairs are almost always transitional in nature. Many of the most profound love relations are of this purely friend type.

                            Just like with our models for "STYLES OF EVASION" Apr 25th, "Some People Are Very Different"and the so called "WHEEL OF OBJECTIFICATION" May 26th, "Mirroring and Empathy (Subjective Boundary Definitions)"; we can see a circularly rotational symmetry with a kind of angular momentum. I say the meta formal nature of this model for maturation is implicite in our religions, no matter how arbitrary and out dated it is. Point being that growing old is not without it's perks, the most obvious is the ability to love and start over again even if it is as a wiser and more realistic person. New History anyone?

                     I like to use language as my own personal toy, a creative entertainment medium, just like me. Gently, respectfully I grow a new language from the genes of the old. Growing into a new history, that's a good thing. Everyone lives their own new history when we forgive and or forget. Choosing what we are going to make out of our personal history is often a key to freewill. This is not an original idea. We do not need to be just an echo, parroting scripts dumped on us. Monkey may see, monkey may do, but just because a monkey can quote Plato doesn't necessarily mean he can understand it, or even know that Plato may have intended his philosophy to just be prevaricating B.S., just to make the point that people can be told anything, pro or con. Plato himself was brilliant, but who knows if he even believed his own arguments. Words can be arranged to just be for fun. Wanna play?
