Aura Reading of Armistead Maupin

Armistead Maupin, Complete with Aura

Jennifer is the second winner of our writer profile contest. I couldn’t resist her nomination of Armistead Maupin, since I’m such a fan. The novelist is best known for Tales of the City, which I enjoyed even more in print than dramatized on TV, with enjoyment being huge in both cases.

Tender and trashy, sardonic and quirky, Maupin is such an original. I keep waiting for him to produce more novels but from his website you can tell that (as I suspected from reading his other novels) the man definitely has a life. Read More »

Divorced and hiding it

Got divorce in your past? How about shame in your present?

And how much of this goop shows in your aura?

Today, we begin with a Guest Post from Blog-Buddy David: 

I am a divorced man, for about three years, who has recently come out of hiding. I hid this successfully from even my close contacts. It was easy to hide, as I have custody of my son. Read More »

Sense of Self with Energetic Literacy

Oh, how it rocked your world, even if you no longer remember.

When you began to have true literacy with regular old words on a page or a street sign, golly! As an adult, if you’re lucky, you’ll have a close encounter of the adorable kind with someone who is newly literate.

The kid will be reading constantly, picking out letters or words. Yelling and wiggling with glee! For that short, thrilling era, the kid’s sense of self is all about literacy. Read More »

Energetic Sub-Routines

Inquiring minds want to know. And when those minds belong to Blog-Buddies here at “Deeper Perception Made Practical,” how can I resist?

Since many of you have expressed interest in this discovery in the field of aura reading, here we go. Perhaps the first post anywhere explaining the concept I call “Energetic Sub-Routines.”

Let’s start with an example, the latest drama in the love life of Gladys. She has just broken up with Joe. Read More »

Completing Oscars 2010, Celebrating Community

Blog-Buddies, like you, perhaps, I’ll be watching the broadcast tonight, stopping occasionally to do Aura Reading Research or even the occasional Empath Merge during an acceptance speech.

How I wish that big awards were given every day here at Earth School — and to the likes of us. Seems tedious, having to wait for a Life Review to receive all the feedback.

Of course, you’ve got a “Go-getter” spirit to match your curiosity about energetic literacy. If you wanted mostly to celebrate how far you have come, I doubt you’d have much interest in reading people deeper. Instead, you want to keep moving forward. You aim to use your skills of energetic literacy to learn more, and serve others better, day by day. Yes? That’s my approach, anyway.

Completing this year’s Academy Awards

I’d like to do one more Aura Reading or Face Reading related to this year’s Oscars. You’re invited to add your candidates, one per comment. Ideally, you’ll also supply a photo link plus a reason why you think that person, or performance, would be especially interesting to us all.

Yes, within a couple of days I’ll choose one from this fascinating collection.

Even more fascinating,  consider yourself invited to add your own Aura Reading, Empath Merge, or Face Reading — any combo — on anyone involved in the Oscars. Or simply share which movie wins your personal vote for Best Movie of 2009.

Many of you Blog-Buddies have really great skills at Deeper Perception and making it practical. So don’t be shy here. Make comments about any public figure you wish, and make them as long and detailed as you wish.

• If any of you supply really detailed readings, I’ll turn turn each one into a Guest Post.
• If you would like to comment anonymously, and don’t know for sure if you have the tech skills to ensure anonymity, no worries. I must enable every single post. So just add a note to me. I care a lot about all you Blog-Buddies and will gladly honor such a request.
• And, yes, you Correspondence Course students at Face Reading — you won’t get credit for it, but what a great way to flex your physiognomy muscles. (Yes, Blog-Buddies, I currently have a bunch of really superb Face Reading Mentoring students.)

So, what else do you think about all those movies and directors and actors?

Just in case you would like some historical perspective

All of us are living at a time of hugely accelerated spiritual evolution. If you have been feeling intense fears, sorrows, or other emotions of releasing, you’re not alone.

Calamities in Chile and Haiti are physically obvious types of suffering. Unheralded by the media, many of you Blog-Buddies are having private earthquakes and floods of your own. Because I do those healing sessions, I know about some of this. And I want you to know that this online community is here to help.

Don’t expect outer or inner drama to stop before 2012. It is a collective flow.

Community has always mattered in life, and never more than now. This community supports those who are highly sensitive persons, empaths, and all who simply are curious about finding the essence of things.

In a way, we’re the counter-weight to social networking. Here we don’t have to broadcast our facts and figures and photos and brags. Instead, we get to inquire and assess and explore… sharing moments with like-minded Blog-Buddies.

Why have I made such a big deal of movies? Why not. It’s a relatively lighthearted (okay, very relatively, in some precious cases) way for us to notice collective life and, safely, awaken our Deeper Perception — survival skills for the third millennium.

Jeremy Renner, Aura Reading of Oscar Nominee #10 of 10

In “The Hurt Locker,” Jeremy Renner portrays William James, the author of The Varieties of Religious Experience.

Wait, no, that William James wrote an amazing book about mystical experience, definitely not this movie.

Ahem! In the nominated role, William James is a staff sergeant who thrives on the risk and danger of his job, which happens to include Varieties of Religious Experience. Oops, defusing bombs. Read More »

Morgan Freeman, Aura Reading of Oscar Nominee #9 of 10

In “Invictus,” one great man portrays another. Morgan Freeman, shown here to our left, portrays Nelson Mandela.

This move recounts how the South African president seizes on the national rugby team’s chances in the World Cup. Mandela was seeking a means to unite his country.

Recently, one of our Blog-Buddies, Suzanne, expressed the desire for more movies about inspiring, self-actualized people. Keeping that in mind, roll up your sleeves, or unfurl your techniques for aura reading research, and join me in our assessment. Read More »

Colin Firth, Oscar Nominee #8 of 10

“A Single Man,” Colin Firth plays George, a gay man in the early 1960s who must hide his grief over the death of his lover

At this point in my movie watching career, Mr. Firth (pictured left) feels like honorary family to me — along with the rest of the cast of “Mamma Mia!”

Sure, I loved that movie in  the theater, especially Colin’s guitar and voice solo —  my favorite part, along with “Dancing Queen.” But during my last trip to Tokyo, I re-re-re-watched every bit of that DVD on my computer, clutching it like a lifeline. Read More »

George Clooney, Aura Reading of Oscar Nominee #7 of 10

“Up in the Air,” George Clooney plays Ryan Bingham, who makes his living firing people and who prides himself on the absence of emotional connections in his life.

Although I haven’t seen this movie yet, I have had a client who had exactly that job. ”Joe” didn’t pride himself on the absence of emotional connection but he numbed himself pretty darned well.

When Joe first came to me for Energy Release Regression Therapy, he was taking medication for narcolepsy, the illness where a person mysteriously falls asleep “for no reason” in the midst of everyday activity.

We were able to move out frozen blocks that still numbed out his life, and to such an extent that Joe was able to completely discontinue that medication, with his doctor’s blessing. Theoretically, I ought to see this film as a light-hearted chaser to the stiff drink of working with Joe, session after session. Plus there’s the delight of watching Swooney Clooney, a particular favorite of mine. Read More »

Jeff Bridges, Aura Reading of Oscar Nominee #7 of 10

In “Crazy Heart” Jeff Bridges plays Bad Blake, a washed-up country western singer whose meeting with a young journalist may help him turn his life around. The celebrity photo is shown here first.

I’ve heard this second-generation performer interviewed on the radio on “Fresh Air,” and he’s a remarkably intelligent man. What will our aura reading research turn up, though, about his resourcefulness as an actor? Read More »
