14. SUPERSTITIONS, OMENS, AND LUCKY SIGNS
*****************************************
Man’s earliest forays into the realm of the psychic probably had to do with portents – good and bad – which seemingly had a bearing on his future. How these arose was often a question; but it seems most likely that the occurrence of some unusual event, followed by another happening, logical or illogical, led to the belief that such a combination would take place again.
If it did, the portent was established, and after a few more repeats it was unlikely to die out. If it failed to deliver, the same type of reasoning caused people to suppose that some antidote had been provided, usually in the case of a counter-spell. This, too, could be the result of chance occurrence. But the practitioners of occult science, as it existed in those early days, were prompt to take credit for it, one way or another.
12.1.7.1 THE CONVEX PROFILE
12.1.7.1 THE CONVEX PROFILE
***************************
So-called because it forms an outward semicircle, or convex curve, consisting of frontward sloping forehead, pointed nose, strong upper lip and receding chin.
Such a profile signifies a quick mind, interested in quick results and therefore one
that concentrates on practical things. This leads to enthusiasm that often borders on impatience. Glib salesmen are found in this category along with fast-talking comedians. Sharp of wit, eager for action, these people naturally do not go for sustained effort, but prefer to accomplish one thing and get on with the next. They are intense; but they are not good listeners – one reason being that they are such great talkers.
Analyzed separately, these features run as follows:
CONVEX FOREHEAD
***************
Slanted sharply forward, with strongest development above the eyebrow. Quick observation, with power of immediate retention. Nothing escapes the notice of such persons. They are often avid readers.
CONVEX EYE
***********
Extended somewhat past the cheek; often noticeable because of its bulge. The sign of the smooth talker, sometimes repetitious, but prompt at repartee. Can out-talk anyone, with ad-lib answers for all arguments.
CONVEX NOSE
************
Long, sometimes high-bridged or pointed; sometimes both. Shows vigor and the demand for quick results. Little waste of time in argument; these people go after what they want and forget all objections. This is the prying nose that gets in everyone else’s business.
