Knowing Your Entourage As we already said, everything is interrelated. Health, sexuality, money and human relations are all interconnected. One interact on another. By knowing people around you, you will positively influence all other parts of your life. What we are saying here is this: Knowing who are around you, will help you have a better overall health, flourishing sexuality, good financial situation and marvelous human relations. Keep reading the whole contain, and benefit from this amazing truth. Although the nature and culture of a human being are diverse and complex, it is possible to know the human being; at least to a certain extent. It is possible and even advisable to know a certain minimum, for anyone who wants to have good interpersonal relations with his entourage. Learning to listen, observe, talk and communicate well are very good tools; they will help you know your entourage. In this regard, we have laid the technical and psychological foundation of that learning process at the page: Health, in the section: Health of the mind; see: The development of mental faculties. It will help you better know your entourage. Knowing your entourage: appearance and reality People should appear to us as they are. But this is not always the case. "The habit does not make the monk." For various reasons, just few people think, speak and act with authenticity. "Someone must not always rely on appearances." These are realities with which we must deal. The direct consequence is that communication can be biased, the message can be distorted; with all the disastrous consequences that entails. Sometimes it happens that someone thinks, does, sees, hears or says what he/she did not intend to think, do, see, hear or say. That person may do it on purpose, but sometimes no. When it is not done on purpose (unintentional), the dictionary has found few words for it. Lapsus linguae (unintentional mistake in speaking, slip of the tongue). Lapsus calami (unintentional mistake in writing, slip of the pen). Psychoanalysts offer few explanations for that. It could be a decrease in alertness of consciousness; when the unconscious expresses itself without the intervention of the censorship (the Super-Ego). But we know that for pathological reasons somebody may think, do, hear, see and say what he did not intend to think, do, hear, see or say. It may happen that someone hears or sees things differently for pathological reasons. Medicine is familiar with these diseases. But that is another story.

Those who want to learn to know the human being, can also use their sixth sense (instinct), or characterology (psychological discipline which aims to study the character; it is the science of physiognomy). We will develop characterology in 25 seconds. Both tools, although relatively objective, have proved their worth. Use it wisely, in addition to learn to listen, observe, think, act, talk and communicate well; in order to better know your entourage. Knowing your entourage: The sixth sense (instinct) A well-sharpened intuition can help you identify the deep personality of a being, its real personality. Intuition, like all other faculties may be awakened, developed and refined. Experience shows that the sixth sense of our ancestors, in ancient times, was more developed than that of people of present time. It seems like this very important faculty, is tempered by the multiple occupations and stress of our civilization; is mitigated by the lifestyle of our time. A lifestyle too focused on material aspects of life, a lifestyle that leaves less room for the spiritual aspect, a lifestyle that dries out some noble forces of the soul. People are less and less connected to Nature and to themselves. The awakening of the sixth sense is nothing mysterious. The awakening of the sixth sense is not complicated. It's simple. It is not necessary to look for a guru, or to read difficult books; complicated teachings of authors who are often the only one to believe what they say. In fact, the awakening of the sixth sense has already begun for those who have begun to put into practice all precious knowledge offered on this site by the Institute of Human Cultivation. This awakening is made possible by a good lifestyle. A good lifestyle is linked to good health. A healthy body, soul, mind (mental, intelligence), emotions, harmonious sexuality, good interpersonal relations and good understanding (application) of the triad: economy-politics-religion (spirituality). You guessed it... that is the subject of our conversation on this site. In this context your sixth sense is developed and sharpened; naturally, simply. The sixth sense, allows you to search into your vis-ŕ-vis and see clearly its inner being. An instinct well developed helps you listen and observe well. A well-developed intuition helps you act wisely. A well-honed sixth sense helps you take good decisions, helps you avoid mistakes and illusions, it prevents you to believe in nonsense, and so on. Nonsense, poor and low maneuvers, come to light with the development of your sixth sense. The sixth sense facilitates your professional relations (labor, business, undertakings); but also human relations (interpersonal relations) as a whole. Put into practice all knowledge of our Institute, in so doing you will develop and sharpen your sixth sense. A sixth sense, well developed and sharpened, leads you towards success and happiness. It is difficult to deceive the sixth sense. For the sixth sense observes and listens beyond appearances. Instinct takes away the social mask and searches the subconscious of your vis-ŕ-vis. This vis-ŕ-vis come out of the shadows and appears in broad daylight, without masks. That person appears "naked". Intuition guides you in all areas of your life (friendship, love, family, education, occupation, business, etc.) This intuition speaks to you through an inner voice; learn to listen to your inner voice. This intuition speaks to you through feelings and emotions; learn to listen to your feelings and emotions. A good intuition helps you make good decisions. Learn to listen in silence and peace of heart. If you listen carefully you will hear. The voice of silence. Affirm your sixth sense, have confidence in him, and he will render you good services. When you're in the presence of a being, thing or situation, deploy your sixth sense calmly; observe and listen; let them tell you what lies behind words, gestures, things or situations; you will better know your entourage and succeed. Knowing your entourage: Characterology Regarding characterology, we know that the face summarizes the character of an individual. In other words, it seems that nature has kindly carved on each face few signs of vices and virtues. Not only on the face but on the whole body, on what someone says, on someone’s gestures, and so on. Learn to decipher a face, body, words, gestures, etc. It will help you better know your entourage and succeed. Let’s face it: this learning is of very high importance for those who want to really know human being. We have said this: "Know that the beauty of a body is also the reflection of the beauty of a soul. A beautiful soul embellishes the body; and vice-versa. A beautiful soul illuminates the face. The face is a summary of the soul; the natural face of course." That is why we have also added: "Outside as Inside." "Inside as Outside.” Characterology or science of physiognomy, is a psychological discipline whose purpose is the study of the character. Characterology can help draw some conclusions on the inner personality of a being. But we must be cautious and not jump to conclusions. We must combine the clues and observations that this science provides, with other data provided by others research tools. We should also avoid transposing systematic observation of one person over another. Everyone is unique; even mono-zygotic twins (identical twins) have many physical and psychological differences. So here as elsewhere, no over-generalization. A low forehead, should not necessarily lead us to conclude that we are facing a low minded individual. A wrinkled and difficult face does not always mean that we are facing an unbearable individual, a disagreeably bossy individual. A penetrating and glowing eye, should not make us believe that we are in the presence of a dangerous individual; the evil eye. A long nose, a very prominent nose, is not necessarily the characteristic of a being who has a flair (who can nose out a danger); or the characteristic of a liar... Pinocchio. Let’s be careful how we combine our ideas, because Pinocchio is also an allegory. An “oreillard” (someone with large ears), does not necessarily means that such a person masters the art of listening. A long tongue does not automatically mean that someone is "a good speaker" or "a big mouth". In the same way, an angelic face may hide a demon; and vice versa. So, as usual, be careful. Knowing your entourage: do not jump into conclusion In order to see and hear things as they really are, we should not see or hear through ourself. Emotions do not always have to come into account when attempting to identify the deep personality of our vis-ŕ-vis. We must learn to make an abstraction on our point of view, while we see and hear our vis-ŕ-vis; this is how we will be able to observe and listen well. To make an abstraction of your point of view, does not mean that you have to deny your opinion. This abstraction allows you to see better and hear better, to observe and listen. The vis-ŕ-vis will appear to you as he/she really is, not as you think he / she is. This is how you will be able to better know the person and conquer him/her. A face, body, words, gestures, etc., can reflect a character, an attitude, a hidden agenda, a way of thinking or acting, etc. In short, all these can communicate a message. There is a distinct advantage to learn about nature and culture of human beings. ”Because what is known is good". The fear of others, the fear of the unknown fades. Unjustified fear evaporates. Prejudices disappear. This facilitates a lot your professional relations (labor, business, undertakings); but it also facilitate your human relations (interpersonal relations) as a whole. But all these techniques, although very effective, must be handled with great care; because sometime Nature and Culture play double play. A train may hide another. "Someone can not always rely on appearances." As we have said before, while trying to know your entourage, you must be cautious and not jump to conclusions. We must combine all indices with indices provided by other research tools. You should also avoid transposing systematic observations of one person over another; avoid over-generalization. Each being is unique. Should we repeat it? That is all for characterology. This other tool, although relatively objective, has also proved its worth. Use it wisely, in addition to learn to listen, observe, talk and communicate well. This page: Entourage, is part of: Professional relationships
