The Structure of our bodies, whether lean or fat, thin, muscled, speedy , red faced or pale faced tell us something about the traits that govern our temperament, character and abilities.
Ancient Indian Medicinal Texts , which form the basis of Ayurveda also mention the variations in body appearances divided basically into 3 types, Pitta Vatta and Kapha.
Phrenology or Physiogomy are considered mystical science in comparison to genotype structuring ( The Human Genome Project ) which also identify variable characteristics by mapping our genes and allocating functions and shapes to it.
Even Ramakrishna Paramhansa, a mystic and teacher to Swami Vivekanada, warned his disciples to be careful from short statured people whose growth has been curtailed by nature.
Accupressure also could have a basis in the structure of the body as only those points are stimulated from the surface which could have a effect on specific emotions or acts.
Neurological studies also point to different centres in the brain which account for emotions and behaviour. But do we know why such centres have different sizes for example the temporal lobe in musicians is found to be larger than others.
Physical aspects do predict mental ones.
Our aim is to identify those people which could have an influence on our growth and relationships.

A Dowsers Tale
LOGIC IS ONLY THE ART OF GOING WRONG WITH CONFIDENCE- JOSEPH WOOD
Fables percolate through the fabric of age and find their way into the universal psyche. But, what happens if enough secrecy is maintained by generations, that it is no longer common / spoken of / acknowledged even by those who maintain them.
An article in THE SPECTATOR, published to explain the gold run up to its zenith of 745 $ an ounce, commented that gold as an investment was to scale further up in the days to come. What was more interesting in the article written by Allister Heath, occupied a minuscule space, and could have been missed by many .
Between the years 1999 to 2002, the then chancellor of Great Britain, Gordon Brown , sold through the Bank of England a whopping 12.7 million ounces of gold bars, nearly half its stock at $ 275 an ounce, at the then prevailing rate Again, not very interesting news, as Banks all around the world accommodate their government with funds by pledging gold or selling it, as they deemed right.
The turn in the story is that the Chinese , brought 6.4 million ounces of this gold . Was it business acumen , foresight, plain luck or knowledge of things to come within the next 2 years, is not known. What is now known from the above is that Great Britain lost in a period of 3 years making 2.8 Billion Pounds by selling early.
On the other side the Chinese tripled their money. We have two opposing and distinct cultures in the British and the Chinese . The Western Culture is very stubborn in beliefs and pragmatic so each decision is considered by weighing its would be consequences from all visible angles. The Chinese on the other hand also do have a stubborn belief system, but while judging they also do consider the invisible forces of nature.
Most of the developed traditions in business forecasting in India are Westernised. Blindly following and accepting such a system makes us automatons. According to Anais Nin, " we cease to grow ". The West has always rejected profit or results if they are shorn of reason or rationale.
Besides consulting Price Pundits, Economic Watch Dogs, Future Predictive Consultants, and sometimes Astrologers, is it not healthy for Corporations that take decisions affecting thousands of families to consider using methods with a mix of esoteric and logic if it is beneficial ? Can we prevent such an error in India by resorting to means not considered logical.? Is it possible that using some finer and not so rational esoteric guidance along with the reasoning a more effective way in ensuring victory in trade.No harm in giving a fair trial.
Since the Chinese have never declared and shall never do so, to the method used by them, we shall refrain from indulging in fairy search But Dr. Treadwell, Chief Dowser and spokesperson for Hoffmann - La Rouche the giant Swiss pharmaceutical company recommends using dowsing methods to build new laboratories around the world . When asked why they used this skeptic method over the scientific , he said " We use methods that are profitable, whether they are scientifically explainable or not, The Dowsing method pays off ". For a company to acknowledge this type of dogma is certainly giving chance to build a fable. The scientific community or the artistic creed can take comfort from the fact that Leonardo-da-Vinci, Robert Boyle, Sir Isaac Newton, Lloyd George, Thomas A. Edison and Albert Einstein were all dowsers. Following a trend is very easy. From putting a red dot on the forehead, to wearing a certain charm or a gem studded ring, or even looking for hidden energies in numbers, are accepted beliefs and are regarded as a statement. But is Dowsing fashionable enough ? Does it have the capacity to create fables ? Morever what is it ?
To go into details of what is Dowsing ? What is the success rate ? Why is there so much skepticism against it ? Why is it not so common like Tarot and Numerology ? and a lot many more questions require another dedicated article ,
Each story has a lesson , a moral to be learnt. The way to achieve maximum output from any venture is to consider all angles, visible or invisible. To overcome limitations of one method by complementing with another is intelligence. To realise the limitations of intelligence and substantiate with another method is Wisdom.. The Bank of England that had the stocks of gold but could not generate the 2.8 billion pounds out of it, does not mean that they did not use their intelligence in selling , but wisdom to check the finite human intelligence would have definatley be more useful.
We all have our resources. Banks have money and gold, Corporations have manpower and machines, the Government has tax money and natural resources ,Individuals have a Will and intelligence, then why not explore the methods rational or otherwise to gain insight into the avenues of expansion and progress. Is it nessecary that to achieve something we need to look whether it is fashionable trendy and also logically correct ? If so how would business leaders achieve something which marks a radical turn from normal practice and create a new Mantra. Every time an Entrepreneur leaves the dreary, old beaten track and blazes a new trail, there are hundreds waiting to follow it, So why do we hesitate to use things which can be profitable, but need not be scientific or logical ? Dowsing uses are greatly underestimated. Dowsing has a vast scope whereby you can dowse to locate underground water or search for natural resources.
Assuming this to be true, the uses of dowsing in our daily life, which struggles for existence, would afford solace and many ready solutions

PREDICTING PROBABILITIES
The science of Prediction has moved away from the path of realizing the importance of the past build up to the present circumstances from where extrapolating the effects into the future would give a clearer and truer picture, rather than just predicting a future without any basis in the present or the past.
Such illusions not only mask reality but project a substitute reality far more intense but untrue and is easily absorbed by most as fate accompli
These all knowing seers who make prediction a projection of their sonic tool which
not only conveys their falliable guidance, but justifies selling them at a price as a commodity worthy in time.
Predictions are just one of the many possible probabilities that could suddenly assume psuedo reality. Correct to say that hidden or sometimes very obvious reasons which we fail to perceive play the part of a bully in vetoing the changing patterns and paths of life.Is it possible to account for all such factors by reading only a few sometimes only one variable like in numerology.
Selling a dream without a suitable warning creates more harm than a one in which clear indications of the effects are mentioned with flexibility.
This of course does not mean that predictions are completely unsafe or useless. They are excellent tools in the hands of a forecaster to help understand the immediate position of a seeker. It can also be used as a guidance tool or as a map wherein the coordinates of a hopeful’s position is planted with respect to his financial emotional intellectual and physical health. Such a help would no doubt be quite useful in allowing him to chart his own future and obtain it with near perfect results.But instead of giving weapons to fight the personal battles and bring our weaknesses under control, we are made to believe that crystals, distorting names, wearing a lucky charm can do our work while we continue to carry on with our life without understanding or realizing where we are going or where we stand..We have given the control of our existence to such ephemeral beliefs while we pursue mindless living.
Most don’t want to believe that the power to change and create our own future lies in our hands. It does not lie in the hands of Tarot Card Readers, Numerlogists, Astrologers and Palmists.It is like a movie where the associate character is given more importance than the Main Character. Even the concept of physical reality, wherein our image as a impotent bystander has been graduated to that of a paternity in creation, and this too by emerging paradoxes in new physics. Tat Tvam Asi ( Thou Art That )is not a mantra for a victorious few, but it is as true as hunger for food in all living beings. Science finally addresses question of belief by saying that faith has been misplaced.
Such a belief that we have the power to change our destiny is an execise worthy of trial atleast a few times more than our visits to such predictors, who is only a predator for satiating his hunger for Ego and Fame.
Most seers and now physicists know that accuracy in predicting any natural phenomen is not an easy task. Besides collecting much information and processing data in hundreds of simulations, there is always some part in the hands of Nature itself. Hence a fully verifiable result is not achieved everytime.But we are predicting nature, so nature keeps the end result for itself. Human nature is also similar, having known that there is everything that is to be known some amount is always kept in reserve. This could be a conscious or a sub conscious attempt, Hence sometimes even experts are foxed.
Another factor that could probably effect the outcome of predictions could be the capabilities of such people who predict, just as a precision instrument is not fully accurate in its readings and narrowly misses the true value, so do individuals if not properly ground in the spiritual path and who commercially exploit fears and troubles of others cannot be faultless.
But it does not mean that it is impossible to determine the events of future.
Future can be predicted with accuracy but only for oneself, provided certain conditions are fulfilled.It also does not imply that the future is pre determined and pre ordained like a fixed game between two players.
One thing is very clear. There is dependent origination in nature.As you sow, so shall you reap.What originates is dependent on other causative factors. What has already emerged may perhaps have a remedial measure that too only in nature which revelas to us with our diligence, honesty and introspection.
“ Nature cares nothing for logic, our human logic, she has her own, which we don’t recognize and don’t acknowledge, until we are crushed under its wheel “
Ivan Turgenev ( Russian Author 1818-1883)
