3. My adventures with graphology

I learned graphology on my own, just from books, when I was in my early twenties. I used it to make business decisions--for example, I might analyze a potential boss's handwriting upside down (while seated across from her in an interview) and make a decision to work or not work with this person.

Years went on and I continued to do analysis. People would bring me samples, usually related to business decisions, and I noticed I started getting a lot more from the handwriting than most graphologists would get. In fact what was happening was that I was picking up things about the person psychically. Pictures would appear and I would sometimes get a sense of the person's mindset, outlook, personality, etc., but particularly emotional disposition. I could drop right into how they were feeling emotionally.

I did not like this. The best way to describe it is that it is like putting on someone else's clothes after they'd worn them. Unwashed clothes. Yuck.

I would do handwriting analysis when I went to parties and there would always be a big crowd of people who wanted me to analyze their writing. I also started noticing that doing this would take a lot out of me because I wasn't just doing it on an analytical level, I was getting information psychically from it. People were amused and astounded at some of the things I said. For example, one time I looked at the handwriting from one person in a couple who attended a party and I said, "You didn't drive here. You walked part of the way because your car broke down, didn't you?" Their jaws dropped--they hadn't told anyone about this. To this day I can still see that couple wearing their ski caps and hiking through the snow to that party.

More years passed and I found myself in my early years of college teaching. At the beginnning of the semester, writing teachers give a writing sample. This tells where the student is with their writing and teachers sometimes ask the student to get regular help from a tutor based on the sample.

At first I couldn't figure out what was going on but as I read each student's initial essay, written by hand in class, I would hone right in on the student's life situation. I could tell if the student was from a dysfunctional home (a lot of them are), how serious they were about attending college, relationships with family, etc. This would come at me before I even read the essay. It was almost like it was energy rising up off the page.

I didn't like this, mostly because the pictures and feelings represented were too overwhelming for me. Most students' lives are not that great. I couldn't even find a way to come at the reading of such essays without getting this information. I started booking computer labs for such essays and I told students I would never, ever accept a handwritten essay.

So there you are--my experience with graphology.

I am getting information off the candidates' samples. If anyone's interested, I'll post it.

4. Please post...

if it's not too much trouble, I think it would be interesting.

5. I second it

Please post your impressions, if you get a chance.

6. Very interesting, NJCher. Thanks for posting your experiences

I think it is very important for those like yourself who are psychically sensitive to learn techniques that protect you and don't drain your energy because otherwise the pictures and feelings can be "overwhelming", as you mentioned.

I'm not sure what specific techniques there are to suggest, but I'm sure they're out there and can be done.

I'm definitely interested in whatever you might pick up from their samples, btw. :hi:

7. handwriting impressions of first two on sample

OK, this is just going off the sample at the link in the OP.

As a person, Hillary Clinton is a unique character. She is her own person--not something I would be inclined to say about any politician. I tend to think of politicians as being whatever they think we want them to be, HRC particularly included. Recall how she emulates a southern accent when she's speaking to southerners?

But that's not the case here. She's really got her own unique take on things and it is all hers--she doesn't adopt anything in her worldview that's not her own. Her take on things is interesting--she mixes in a lot of the academic on how she sees things but also sees things with a sense of humor.

This sure isn't what we see in her public persona. Not at all. I am really struck by what I'm getting here. I'll even go so far as to say that I think politics may not be her calling after all. I'm thinking more of a leader in the sense of what Al Gore and John Edwards are doing but with an issue where she can mold it and make it her own. Whatever it is, she has to be front and center. The issue has to almost be one with her.

She has incredible powers of concentration. When she decides to think, she is very focused and she puts all of her energy into it. This isn't forced at all--it comes naturally to her.

She comes off like a real extrovert--but she isn't. It's not that she's shy, it's that she can take or leave dealing with people. She could easily be a lawyer, writing up case law and having little to do with people. It's just a matter of personality.
------------
Now, McCain: Very self-involved. It's all about him; that's his worldview. It all goes through his eyes and he doesn't at all know how to see things from the point of view of others.

McCain will fade on a person fast. Don't count on him doing what he promises.

I get that he can be vituperative. I think he is not a nice person.

--------------
Obama: Can't do his handwriting tonight. Too tired. I will try again, though, when I am rested up.

8. Thanks, Cher ..

I think you are right on with your perceptions of Hillary. A couple of days ago, I got the distinct impression that she would retire from politics after this is over. And I can certainly see her shining in a position created by herself. I can't think of any causes that she is particularly involved with, but surely she has the passion to accomplish something great. I wonder how much of her ambition is actually Bill's, and believe there are more complexities there than are generally known.

9. Thanks for that.

what struck me was the similarities in your analysis and her astrological sun sign, which is Scorpio. Very focused, lots of intense energy. More private than it would appear on the outset. Interesting.

10. yes, I think she is private too

Driven, though, so she is able to campaign. Her birthday is actually pretty close to mine. I guess the one characteristic that I share with her is that I am private, too. I don't have the kind of ambition she has, for sure.

My handwriting has changed so much over the years. Well, I never write anymore, just type. I used to have handwriting that looked like it was off of the teacher's blackboard. Now it looks more like a doctor's prescription! The only time I use handwriting is on those automatic signature things at stores, to use with a credit card.

I can mirror write, though. That's fun. Most people can't do this with script very easily.

11. Cool, mirror writing is wild.

I only use cursive for my signature. Everything else I write is printed.
I'd be interested to get my writing analyzed someday. It's always cool to use another tool for self-discovery.

12. ...What's mirror writing? (Pardon my cluelessness.)

I still come across a few things so well-known to the rest of the enlightened that baffle me.

13. when you hold it up to a mirror, it looks right

So, someone can tell me something to write, in script, and I go from right to left on the paper, and it looks like gibberish. When you hold it up to a mirror, or look at the back of the paper through the light, you can read it. I'm not exactly sure where I picked up this little talent. I'm a little ambidextrous, though. Maybe that's it.

[Shine]

14. I have a touch of ambidextous-ness, too.

I write with my right hand, but I eat with my left....although I could use either side to eat, I tend to use a fork in my left hand.

BUT....if I use chopsticks, I use my right hand. Weird.

:D Isn't that fascinating?? :rofl:

[Celebration]

15. what if you are cutting meat?

I kind of eat continental style--cut with my right hand, and use the fork with my left hand. Too much trouble to put down the knife! Before I got married, my mother in law asked me if I was left handed. She knew I wasn't. It was a subtle way to tell me I don't have the right table manners! If she was trying to get me to change this habit, it didn't work. I'm not sure why we Americans do this different from the Europeans.
