If you wish to read faces, you should first learn about the three layers a person's physiognomy is comprised of. The first is what we call the primal layer, a sort of formulaic imprint that serves as the canvas for everything else. This is the first layer you would read, naturally, and also the layer most humans are able to decipher by instinct. This layer is comprised of the skeletal architecture and inherent outline of the face. What is studied on this layer are the archetypal geometrical figures present (or hybrid variations of those same figures). These are, from the front view, the circle, the rectangle and the triangle. Each archetypal form is, in one way or another, representative of a modality of energy - giving context to whatever else is found on the two deeper layers. Where these archetypal forms are found, their combination, synergy and hybridisation among one another help determine a person's attitudes, ways of thought, temperament and what kind of mental faculties they have access to. The second layer is what I call the deviation layer, or mutation layer. This is the layer for which the practitioner concerns himself with the study of, well, "deviations" from the inherent skeletal imprint. The skeletal imprint is, of course, in a sense held together by the musculature that surrounds the face. This musculature is incredibly sensitive and able to be manipulated to quite the ranges - and they are directly linked to not only a person's brain activity, but their emotional background and experiential database. This layer gives more insight into whether a person has "stuck by" their inherent imprint, or have been somehow relegated to having to go against it. This is very rarely achieved without significant trauma or stressful environs, obviously. Each part of the face is linked to a specific "house" or "area" of interest. For example, the ears record the full history of a person's physical and mental development. Therefore, things like malnutrition, early-life stressors and trauma can be spied by studying their shape, size, curvature, et cetera. Knowing how to differentiate the imprint layer and the deviation layer (a keen eye is needed for this) already gives quite a bit of context. The correct questions must be asked by the practitioner to ascertain specific results, and these results must be objectively and pragmatically true, or as close to the truth as possible - or the reading will be wrong. The third layer is the holistic or intuitive layer. It is a sort of conglomeration of all of the abovementioned elements but run through a filter of interconnectedness. On this layer, which I also refer to as the mystical layer (for reasons you will find out), the whole of the physiognomy is studied - so both the primal and deviation layers - and understood in its full breadth. The secret of the intuitive layer lies in learning to see and understand that which is not present on the face. On this layer, elements or features that are either out of place or missing from the face tell the practitioner a lot more than whatever is already present. This layer, of course, demands strenuous amounts of practice, and is largely 'unlocked' through trial, error and intense deliberation - but is wholly achievable for those intuitively inclined. For those uninitiated in the intuitive ways, it might prove challenging, but a fun pastime regardless, I assure you, at least from my personal experience. All in all, the logical culmination of this knowledge is a sort of mystical-intuitive understanding of each function of the face, but also a narrow hinting at the fact that the human face, particularly the eyes, are portals that lead to, for the lack of a better expression - places of incredible depth and secrecy. These are mental realms where the full force of the person's spirit resides. Eye contact is the single most mystical, intimate and grandiose thing one can engage in with another human being, and with the full context of the person's physiognomy - access to these realms is made easier. When we tell each other - "look me in the eyes", what we really mean is to inspire the other to look into the wholeness of our soul, to recognise it for what it is - in its undeniable power and truth; its legacy that spans across lifetimes and ages. Imprint layer shapes life experience. Life experience shapes deviation (second) layer. Both together shape the intuitive layer. There's three distinct layers. Imprint (archetypal), deviation layer (departure from imprint) and the intuitive layer (context gained when first two are combined + eyes). Eyes are 90% of a reading but we usually never need that level of depth. When you do a face reading: 1) Start with the frontal outline, assign archetype 2) See profile view, assign primal archetype 3) Look for wrathful, equanimous, dissonant synergies 4) Look for isolated points of deviation, study skin layer Each layer gives the other context. This is more than enough to give you a person's - Disposition and general temperament - Mind mapping and general psychology - How they think, what they're good/weak at - What are their likely interests, are they niche or broad - What are their needs, wants, desires - What is their primary/default emotional state - Their mental & physical development, their history - General ancestry and phenotype - Dysfunctional relationships, emotional dependence And much. much, much more. Always judge a book by its cover. ALWAYS. The person is showing you who they are, unwillingly. They can lie to you but no one can lie to themselves. Those who have the most to hide are terrified of facial profiling. If you have the eyes to see - nothing can be hidden from you. The mouth can utter delusions but no face can tell a lie. God designed us so. Three layers to the human face: What you were born as - energo-genetic imprint. Where you are now - energetic presence, aura. Where you are going (Can fully change) - energo-expressive deviation. There are four layers to reading a face: - Animalistic layer (silhouette) - Archetypal layer (imprint) - Deviation layer (intuitive) - Spiritual layer (holistic) Humans are only consciously aware and receptive to the first layer only. A traumatic childhood might get you to the second. ![[Pasted image 20260404222343.png]]
