Why Mind Reading Is Verboten (+)

                  My teacher has said, "Telepathy is one of the most inconvenient things that can ever happen to people." I also had a Croatian Sociology professor who would say, "Make predictions, but never assume." {You will probably be wrong much of the time anyways.} (My 1st Axiomatic Rule of a Para Psychological Method, "A persons guess is always better than odds would allow.) I'm wondering, how do I approach this subject. I should be minding our own business, but I promised this book was not going to be about me. I'm going to keep this pleasant, I suspect self disclosure is the only way I'm going to stay on point.

                  As a 57 year old recovering addict I found physical education is good for me and my social life. If you've seen my work on "Circular Maturation," (reposted under, "TRANSITIONAL RELATIONS" / Wed. Oct. 23rd / from the earlier "Growing Into A New History, NEXT CORE DOCUMENTATION" / July 4th 2013,) you will have seen that "Emotional affairs are inevitable and generally non sexual." Most people are not happy to forgo love, just because they have moved past a broken pair bond relationship. That need for love is the thing that motivates us to want things to, "Work Out." When you get to my age, and you are single, almost anyone has rebound relationships and therefore realistically is not likely to have affairs that "Just Workout." Add that most people fantasize about unrealistic relationships, everyones first deeply meaningful emotional affair can be very stressful. Most people need to be more forgiving of ourselves and each other. All most everyone has totally flipped out at someone for disappointing them. (2nd Axiomatic Rule for the Para Psychological Methods, Everyone has blind spots and everyones blind spots are different.")

                 On point now. I've discovered that "Fellowships of Love" can be very unemotional, but any emotional attachment can still be very jealous or even antagonistic. The term "Bromance" has been the latest trending insult. I've discovered however, I too am loved. I don't toy with people. Connections with people makes recovery much more fun. The kinds of athletes around me, (Male and Female) aren't just beautiful, they're seen as sex objects, status symbols and romantic objectives. They just want to be appreciated like anyone else. Popular prejudices toward the "Culture of the Body" sexually romanticizes everyone. I believe this causes obesity, people misjudge themselves to be conveniently unattractive and escape behind a negative self image. I'm overjoyed my gym is not a pickup joint, many gyms tend to be meat markets. There is this "Curse of Beauty." Modesty is our only defense. (3rd Axiomatic Rule for the Para Psychological Methods, "Some people are very different, very differently." Some people actually "Love To Hate," all the Beautiful People.)

                 Conscious non verbal communication skills are usually the result of cultivating rapport, not mind reading. Therefore it does no good to pretend to know what others think or feel. Any presumptions can be very alienating. Pandering is for idiots. I wouldn't assume my writing is always clear, we especially need to be sensitive when considering other people's feelings. (4th Axiomatic Rule for the Para Psychological Methods / "Everybody Needs Love.") In this world with such a disparity of love, trust and good faith, "Mind Reading is Verboten." Never make assumptions.
