Psychometric Readings

"The person who sits for the psychometrist for a 'reading' should not be

antagonistic nor frivolous, neither should he desire special

information, nor concentrate his thought forces upon any given point, as

otherwise he may dominate the psychic and thus mislead him into

perceiving only a reflex of his own hopes or fears. He will do well to

preserve an open mind, and an impartial though sympathetic mental

attitude, and hen await results. It is unwise to interrupt, explain, or

question during the time that a delineation is being given, for by so

doing the psychic sphere is disturbed and the thought projections caused

to act like the breezes upon the surface of a lake, producing confused

and distorted appearances. It is best to allow the descriptions to be

given in its entirety before asking questions regarding any of its

details; it is quite possible or probable that the very points upon

which inquiries seem necessary will be more fully elucidated before the

close of the reading. If a special reading, and not a general one is

required--say, for instance, a diagnosis of diseased conditions--a hint

of what is desired at the outset should be sufficient."
