Steven Barnes teaches a six-step technique to understand what people really want beneath what they say. Start by accepting that most people lie about their priorities, study the gap between where they are and where they could be, and practice on yourself first before using it on others.
Stephen Barnes Diamond Hour presents the Mind Reading Technique. Now, all Diamond Hour technologies are designed to produce the state of awakened adulthood, produce a balance of physical health, joyous relationships and financial security, be implemented with a minimum of time and effort, and be compatible with all major religions and spiritual philosophies. As far as I'm concerned, they're all looking same mountain. Now, would you like to bullet proof yourself against lies and deceptions? Never be fooled by a lover or business partner again. Drastically improve your ability to understand human nature. Well, it's possible the mind reading technique is what you've been looking for. And here are the steps. Number one, grasp that everyone wants everything. 99% of people want all three things. Body, mind, spirit, relationships. Right now, at least 10% of people will lie about it. I don't want a relationship. I don't care about my weight. I don't care about money. People say this a lot more often than they actually mean it. Get that joke and you're on your way. Number two, Every tree grows as tall as it can. If you see a burned studded tree in the forest, splintered and twisted, you might assume that lightning struck. If you assume that in an optimal growth environment, a child could grow to be a loving and self loving, successful and healthy person. Then when you see people who are less than magnificent in these arenas, that means about 99% of us, it's reasonable to assume that they did not have an optimal environment. And almost no one does. Number three, Study the gap. The gap between where they are and their potential. What does that tell you? Four, Study the gap between their potential and the story they try to sell themselves and you about where they are and why they are where they are. The less responsibility they take for their current life situation, the greater the level of illusion they have succumbed to. Now, number five, this is the most important step. Look into yourself. First. Wisdom to a degree is recognition of cycles and pattern recognition. The way to learn this first steps in the mind reading process is to apply them to yourself ruthlessly. Go deep. Be honest at a level that is patient, painful. Take responsibility for where you are in your life and what has gone wrong. It isn't that we really have 100% responsibility for what happens in our lives. I mean, sometimes a meteor just hits your dog. But most people don't see the connections between their short term actions, attitudes, values and their long term results. I'm not talking about guilt, blame or shame. Remember that responsibility means the ability to respond. Without responsibility, you are a sleeping child. Number six. And this is critical. Once you've begun this process, keep what you learn to yourself. As you develop greater intuition about people, you'll start seeing their truth before they can open their mouths. Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you say. A person who is honest about their own failings is hard to lie to keep it to yourself. Everyone has the right to privacy. Everyone has wounds they can seal. To learn to intuitively understand people is one thing, but nothing will destroy a relationship faster than using this information against them to make points or win arguments. Be kind if you wish kindness in return. Avoid liars and con artists, but don't start telling your family and friends what you now know or think you know about them. That would be deadly. Now, I want you to understand that this is mainly do not think dishonestly. This all comes back to Musashi's principles. Now what's next?
