A psychic must understand the
decision-making process. Here you will learn to go beyond reading basic
thoughts and feelings. You will learn how people think so you can profile
anyone. You will be able to predict behavior and understand a person better
than he understands himself. I will show you how to speed-read other people to
quickly determine their basic thoughts. The system, I hope, works with any
person, place, idea or situation. In some cases, you will not be able to
directly engage the person from whom you need information in conversation. In
these situations, you will use a strategy that employs a variety of signs and
signals. You will be able to interact with the individual in question, so more
sophisticated strategies can be used.

 Before we start anything, I would love to give
you a test. Just for fun, a really good test. Try to riddle this one out :

“A traveler comes to a fork in the road leading to two villages. In one
village, the people always tell lies and in the other village, the people
always tell the truth. The traveler needs to go to the village where everyone
always tells the truth. A man from one of the villages is standing in the
middle of the fork, but there is no indication of which village he resides in.
The traveler then asks him just one question. From the man’s answer, he knows
which road to follow. What did the traveler ask?”

Take your time. Don’t worry I
just tend to test your power of riddling something. I will provide the answer
somewhere in this book. 

Alright, let’s move to the first
lesson here, detecting the lies. This knowledge is useful for anyone to use in
everyday situations where telling the truth from a lie can help prevent you
from being a victim of fraud or scams and other deceptions. Here are the signs
of deception. A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact. When
they are talking to you they will touch or scratch their nose, mouth, throat or
behind the ears. Some people when lying, they will make a nonsense hand
movement, whether they will stiff their hands or move insanely their hands,
usually move their hands so much.Their
expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking emotions
(happy, surprised, sad, awe) instead of the whole face. For example, when
someone smiles, naturally their whole face is involved jaw or cheek movement,
eyes and forehead push down etc. Lying can be cognitively demanding. You must
suppress the truth and construct a falsehood that is plausible on its face and
does not contradict anything known by the listener. You must tell it in a
convincing way and you must remember the story. This usually takes time
and concentration, both of which may give off secondary cues and reduce
performance on simultaneous tasks.

In addition, there is also
evidence that they distance themselves from the lie, causing their language to
become more impersonal. As a result, liars often reduce the number of times
that they say words such as ‘I’, ‘me’ and ‘mine’ and even use ‘him’ and ‘her’
rather than people’s names. Finally, liars tend to avoid answering the question
completely, perhaps by switching topics or by asking a question of their own.

Here a good snap shot for you.
The detective reads the facts to his suspect as he knows them. “The suspect
shot the teller, left in a green sedan with California license plates, (then
add one piece of false information) crashed into another car, got out, jumped
over a fence and got away.” If the suspect is guilty, he will question the
incorrect detail. “Crashed into another car? My car doesn’t have a scratch on
it. It couldn’t have been my car!” His proof of innocence uses the one false
information, by using it, he reveals he knows the whole story.

Professor Snape found that some of his potions have been stolen. He
called three suspects which are Ron, Percy and Draco. He then asked, “Who took
my potions, I want you to be honest, answering my question or else, the
punishment afterwards might be severe.”

Ron : Sir, I don’t
have any intention or reason to steal any of your potions.

Percy : No, don’t look
at me. I’m not the one. A stealer.

Draco : Why had you
suspected only three of us. How about the others?

Quite tricky, isn’t it? I’ll give
the answer later, somewhere in this book, or probably not. You might hate me
for not directly provide you the answer. But hey, you are now a psychic in
training! Find out why and try to riddle this by yourself using your psychic
power.
