Read people deeper by valuing heritage

Some nice Jewish boys from Ethiopia

My Jewish heritage — now that’s one of the last things you (or I) would expect me to blog about. Soon I will, however. And by the end of today’s blog post, you will receive an invitation to blog about YOUR heritage, too.

Here’s what got me thinking about this topic. A client, GLADYS, was discussing a Jewish man, JOE. As an aside she noted that “Of course, being Jewish, money was very important to him.”

No disrespect was intended. Not remotely. GLADYS is no anti-Semite. Yet clearly she had received a bit of programming about Jews that popped out of her mouth.

This pop-out reminded me that, regardless of which technique of deeper perception we use, our clarity will be muddled if we carry inaccurate stereotypes or prejudice about religion, ethnicity, etc. For instance:

• During Energy Release Regression Therapy, if subconsciously you harbor a limiting stereotype about Jews (or others), you may block experiences that don’t fit into the existing framework.
• What if you are doing a Skilled Empath Merge, then start looking for STUFF around stinginess, laziness, or whatever the social stereotype to go with a person’s cultural heritage? You may find it. (Thank you, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle.) Read More »

How did high school prepare you for deeper perception?

The United Nations International School

All the experiences you’ve had so far, Blog-Buddies, have prepared you to excel at energetic literacy. With nuances and specialties that will become specialties and nuances whenever you read somebody’s face or aura.

Recently I started thinking about the impact of my high school years. In New York. At the United Nations International School. Which I actually began attending in fourth grade.

UNIS has changed over the years, even moved into a mega-snazzy building, pictured above. No online photos exist of the un-gated, unpretentious quarters for UNIS in its early days, far as I know. Originally this school for U.N. parents’ kids, and other U.N. sympathizers, used converted garden apartments in Parkway Village, Queens.

UNIS in the 1960's

By my sixth grade we moved to an immense white elephant of a building at 70th Street and First Avenue. Built before the Civil War, this tall-ceilinged building had been used, then was abandoned, by the New York public school system. We rowdies moved in, leaping around the large staircases, scampering up and down the five immense flights of stairs, opening the sticky classroom windows with 9-foot long prongy wooden poles especially designed for that purpose.

Not that there were many of us. My graduating class, in 1965, was the largest in the history of the United Nations International School. All 15 of us.

So what about this place prepared me to read people deeper?

In retrospect, it was the multi-language consciousness. The consciousness of kids who really did come from many parts of the world: Shoba from India, Danuta from Poland, Talia from Israel, Michael and Anne from Jamaica. Mario hailed from Peru, Roderick’s family was Chinese and so was Bill’s.

When a really cute guy joined our class mid-term for the January semester, one year, he was seated on the other side of my double desk. Besides being blinded by the dazzle Read More »

Deeper Perception Made Effortless

Only you can decide how much you are willing to trust when doing techniques for Deeper Perception. But sometimes a teacher can remind you to “Let Go and Let God.” And then, if you’re willing to take the hint, wonders can happen.

This was brought home to me yesterday. My first weekend workshop in Tokyo was ending. As usual, we made a ceremony of it. I would present the certificate of completion for each graduate. He or she would come to the front of the room, receive the paper, and speak to the group about any major Aha!s from the workshop.

This ceremony is always my favorite part. The very active, vocal students are so articulate, expressing how they have grown. While the quieter students finally divulge what has been going on with them. Read More »

Preparing to Read More of the Religious Right

THANKS SO MUCH, all you Blog-Buddies. The comments at the Read the Righties Contest are showing me that you’ve been paying attention to some of the trends and personalities shaping American political life today.  Keep ‘em coming.

It’s so common for people interested in Deeper Perception, or mind-body-spirit, or healing of any kind, to be blissfully apolitical. Read More »

New Posts are Coming

Blog-Buddies, it has been pretty quiet here for the past week. Just so you know, it’s because I’m juggling getting the new book to press, packing for a month in Japan, and getting things ready for the Court of Honor Ceremony next weekend, celebrating that my son Matt has become an Eagle Scout.

Haven’t forgotten this blog at all, but have been just a bit busier than usual. At this point, I’m not even positive that I’ll be able to get the monthly Zine out before a bit into June, it’s that busy.

However, the good news for the blog is that for Trip #9 to Japan, I plan to be doing more blogging. Am making room by NOT starting to write a new book there, as I have done for the last three tours, in my oh-so-lavish spare time.

Meanwhile I will be enabling your comments regularly, despite everything, and answering questions as best I can. And you American Idol fans, take heart, because when I do get around to doing the Zine for June, there just might be something special there for you.

Aura Readings of My Sumo Wrestler

Okay, he may not know he belongs to me in any way. Nor that I read his aura. Here’s how it happened.

He was waiting for the airport bus, just like me, only he was significantly larger and wore a blue silk outfit you won’t see guys wear back home in suburban Virginia.

I was standing with my greeter. “Reiko” had met me outside of customs, helping me navigate the way onto my ride from Narita airport to downtown Tokyo. Reiko wore smart high heels, a crisply cut black dress, and a sweet, shy smile. She was my first personification of pampering from VOICE, the company that has sponsored my latest trip to Japan.

This time, the bus was crowded. To find a window seat, I had to walk nearly all the way to the back. Settling in to my white-doilied seat in the immaculate conveyance, I saw “Yusei” come down the aisle. Nobody else seemed particularly impressed, but I was. And one look at his huge girth informed me that this man desperately needed a full double seat. Since none were left, I offered him mine. We smiled and bowed at each other and I moved nearby.

SECRET ADMIRER, ONE SEAT BACK, ONE SIDE OVER

All the better to watch him, to read him.

In a land where most people are slender and graceful, sumo wrestlers are revered. Within effective staring distance, I noticed that Yusei wasn’t fat, which was what I expected. Huge, yes. But this his was a  powerful, muscular build. I’ll also admit, I expected him to smell strange or, at least, sweaty in the way it is easy to be on a warm summer day when you weigh something like 300 pounds. Yet every inch of Yusei was fastidiously groomed, from the large sandalled feet to the straight jet-black ponytail folded over and clipped to his head.

But if Yusei’s enormous daintiness shocked me, that was nothing compared to his energy field.

• The huge projection at the Grounding databank at Yusei’s root chakra, of course I expect that.  He filled the bus.
• Equally, even exquisite large, however, was the Spiritual Connection databank.
• Power was hugely developed, of course, at the Solar Plexus chakra.
• At the Throat and Belly chakras, I could read the price Yusei had paid, the scars of his lifestyle/training. Whatever the glories of the Sumo path, it doesn’t encourage personal self-expression, joy, or spontaneity. Not for Yusei, anyway.

When we embarked at T-Cat, Yusei turned to me and said thank you again for giving him my seat. Would an American football star have bothered? Or would he have traveled alone, ignored on the bus but idolized by the national consciousness? This celebrity athlete and spiritual servant, unmasked with Deeper Perception, showed his true Sumo wrestler’s heart of humility.

God and Me, a GUEST POST by Jim

Continuing our series about the search for God, and how aura readings can change it, here are fascinating comments from Jim:

I grew up in a very strict Roman Catholic household. My parents were both somewhat sticklers for every detail in every instance, although I make no pretense of having lived up to their expectations in any sort of consistently reasonable way. I fell short over and over again, although I was always trying to do better. Read More »

God and Me, a Guest Post by CSR

Here comes our second installment in this continuing series. Just because you read people deeper doesn’t mean that you have an particular stereotypical view of God. Reading faces, using skills as an empath, or doing aura readings — these are skills that help you to know more. How you use your perception is YOUR business. Read More »
