Physiognomy

Physiognomy is the art and science of reading character from the facial and bodily form. Under another aspect it means the divination or interpretation of a person’s lineaments in prognosticating his future. Phrenology, or the art of reading the skull, and palmistry are branches of physiognomy. Physiognomy can assist psychics when giving a face-to-face psychic reading.

The art of Physiognomy has an ancient origin, and was held in high regard by the Greeks, who relied heavily upon it in assessing a man’s character or fitness for a higher position. They taught that men might be compared with the animal in their Physiognomy and character, some being noble and leonine, others swinish and brute-like, and so on.

Character portrayed by features

It is truism to say that one may read a man’s character from his face. The impression we get from ones countenance depends highly on form and expression. Some faces are noble, even in repose; and others, until lit up with a smile, are dull or even repelling. But the calm, reposeful and dignified face may go with an empty mind, and everyone knows that beauty of a statuesque, classical, placid type often accompanies an intellect unrelieved by flashes of brilliancy or sparks of wit.

The problem of judging character is complicated by the extent to which everyone dissimulates - often unbeknownst to themselves. The repressions and limitations imposed by civilized society ensure that from the cradle, man refrains from doing what he wishes to do, or from showing emotions that are unacceptable to people about him.

Training and education of the young is largely concerned with self-discipline, and we all learn to mask our feelings. Some people are more successful in this than others; but when, under stress of strong emotion or great provocation, the control is relaxed or even abandoned altogether, the observer sees a strange and sometimes horrible, picture of primal feeling expressed in an unbridled manner.

A person under the influence of alcohol or amphetamines, or when recovering from anesthetic, may redirect on his face, the very depths of his mind and there, we see the true man as he is. The calm Juno of a woman may reveal her hidden traits: we learn that instead of a limpid pool, her character is a very maelstrom of conflicting impulses. The man of integrity, who takes a leading part in the religious life of the group to which he belongs, is betrayed, perhaps as a fundamentally a libidinous and sensual pleasure lover.

One must learn not to judge such persons based on these manifestations; rather we should acknowledge that in leading a moral and socially correct life in spite of such underlying impulses - in bravery and sternly combating the hidden urges – they are worthy of the highest praise.
