There is a new television program that has appeared on fox that is called “lie to me”. The premise of the program reminded me of sitting with Richard Rose at the KSU student union as we waited for the time that a PZS meeting was going to start. We watched all the people walking by and Rose ran a running commentary of what the different people were thinking. This was at first seen as a good guess at best but as time went on what he was saying was verified and i learned to accept his ability to see through people. By observing the way a person carries themselves i learned that you can tell what a person is thinking and the way that they think others see them. Rose was acutely adept at this and was able to see beneath the surface of our facial mannerisms and body language to the root of what controlled people which was sometimes a controlling entity or as seen superficially-a controlling egotist attitude. He taught the main tool we can develop to enhance our insight ability is to increase the accuracy of the intuition.
The students of RR were taught to look for the controlling factors of other people, for by seeing someone else’s mode of operation you can better see your own. Why do we dress a certain way or wear our hair a certain style? In the early 70s, 1973 I think, I asked my first question of Rose and he acted like I was a girl. Having hair to my shoulders was what he noticed so he was confronting me about that which was his first direct step ‘inside my head’ commencing the start of our friendship after I realized the Zen koan style of his statement.
There are ways of strengthening your ability to see your own thinking process and others'. The first step is to clear up your own head, so seeing what others are thinking is a by-product of your own self-inquiry. There are steps that you can take that are simple and effective, so if you are interested there is advice to be implemented which is best to discuss more privately. The general public is not at all interested nor need be. It requires one-pointed focus, and with our multitasking society is even more difficult but still possible.
