I can read your mind (II) – more eye positions

Welcome to the second part of “I can read your mind” series. In the first article I wrote about the meaning of up and to the left eye position.

I hope and you enjoyed reading the first part at least as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Today I will cover the meanings of three more eye positions:

  1. Up and to the right
  2. Middle left
  3. Middle right

Up and to the right

This eye position, like the up and to the left, is also connected with the visual memory (Visual Mode mental process) and it indicates that a person is remembering visual images.

Ask someone “what color shirt did you wear two days ago?” and this would be the direction their eyes would move. In their minds, they are visually remembering the color.

The up eye position, whether it is left or right, indicates a visual mindset. Left is for constructing images and right is for remembering images.

Middle left

The middle position is connected with the

I can read your mind (I) – Introduction

Mind reading, that’s right. I’m gonna teach you how to read people’s thoughts by interpreting different body signs.

It’s been said that “the eyes are the mirror of soul”, and indeed they are. Many people know that their eyes can betray their lies, feelings or thoughts, but only a few know how to interpret the indicators.

Starting with this article, I will write a series on the interpretation of eye and body signs. By learning and applying these things into communication processes you’ll be able to know what is going on in the mind of the person who you’re talking to, and you’ll also be able to figure out whether they are lying or telling the truth.

Knowing what the other person is thinking enhances communication.

Imagine how great it would be for you to be able to determine whether someone is in a kinesthetic, visual or auditory mode of thinking. Imagine if you could read their thoughts and be able to tell if someone is making something up or recalling some facts. Imagine if you could tell for sure when your girlfriend or boyfriend is lying to you. Sounds exciting right? Read on.

All this is possible by

The real 8 secrets of success by Richard St. John

While surfing the web looking for something useful to read I stumbled upon a really great video by Richard St. John.

He was inspired to find these principles during a flight, when a high school student asked him how to be successful and he couldn’t think of any good answer to that question.

Unlike other secrets of success that I’ve read or found in other books, I find these eight to be very realistic.

Who is Richard St. John?

St. John describes himself as an average guy who found success doing what he loved. He spent more than a decade researching the lessons of success.

He has found success through his marketing company, the St. John Group, which boasted clients like Nortel and BlackBerry/Research in Motion. But he couldn’t get away from the question: Why him? He thinks of himself as an average guy, not talented at school, not terribly handsome or particularly lucky. So he spent more than a decade interviewing 500 people he defines as successful.

The decade of interviews resulted in a book (Spike’s Guide to Success: Stupid, Ugly, Unlucky and RICH) which has created even more avenues for success for St. John as a motivational speaker and talk-show star.

Back to the video.

The six step guide on how to stop judging others

“Judge not, lest you be so fearful of judgment that you can hardly breath.” Paul Williams

The judgement of others is a powerful human weakness. The more roots it grows, the harder it becomes to cure.The problem with judging others is that it never has good results.

It’s a powerful weakness in a weak body and it expresses itself mainly through words, but it can also install in one’s heart and work from there.

In my opinion, these are the best solutions against judgement.

1. Don’t tie friendships with gossipers.

This is the place where the fight needs to start. If you hear people gossip about others, run away from them. Be careful not to fall in the pit while you’re running away from it… don’t judge people who judge. Hate the act, not the people who do it.

2. Abstinence from gossip helps.

When you hear some rumours about someone you know, don’t go to him and say “someone is talking this and this against you”. When the words have the gossip characters, ignore them. Apply the principles from this story.

3. Hold your tongue.

If your heart is starting to nurture bad feelings against someone, if your mind is trying to tempt you into judging a person, try to crush these feelings. If you can’t crush them, at least hold your tongue and don’t spread it out to more people. If you keep it within yourself, the results are limited by the borders of your heart, but if you tell other people what you think, the effects are devastating. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

How to filter gossip

An important illness of today’s society is (negative) gossip.

Gossip consists of casual or idle talk of any sort, usually slanderous and/or devoted to discussing others.

While gossip forms one of the oldest and (still) the most common means of spreading and sharing facts and views (information) , it also has a reputation for the introduction of errors and other variations into the information thus transmitted. The term also carries implications that the news so transmitted (usually) has a personal or trivial nature.

Most people gossip about others, because they are unfulfilled in their own lives. By looking at the excitement or misery of others we can take our minds off our own drudgery.

Generally, we are quick to judge other people and often respond instantaneously to a situation or problem. More often than not, we do not pause for that one moment to say to ourselves, ”If I were in his place, would I have done the same thing?” But do not think about what you would have done or not done from your own point of view. Instead, look at the situation from the other person’s point of view, as if you were in his consciousness, and try to understand him that way.

I see gossip as a shallow act done by shallow people.

A man that has a satisfying life and loves who he is won’t have the time or the enthusiasm to be involved in other people’s affairs. People who don’t enjoy their own lives the ones are attracted to the negativity of others. It feeds their hollow spirits.

Gossip hinders the spiritual and moral growth of an individual and should be treated very carefully. My personal “gossip filtering system” is illustrated very good in the next story.
