♦   Usually has difficulty in expressing love. Is honest and very suspicious. Takes a long time to build trust. Is organised “PERIOD”.

♦   Loves to work. Enjoys strenuous exercise. Thrives on recognition. A backslapper and crushing handshake type.

They must work to satisfy their nature; they don’t understand play and play does not understand them. 

Physical Needs:

  for other colours.

♦   Counts money last thing at night -- first thing in the morning because they are afraid someone will take it.

Musculars have deep pockets, they are the last to reach into their pocket to pay for dinner or lunch when they are with others; they don’t know what credit cards are because using them costs money.

When they buy a property, they buy a fixer upper and then they can work on it and improve it.

Must eat at bargain prices and shop groceries where they can get the best bargains; they count their money at night and then again in the morning to see if anyone took it any night while everyone was sleeping.

Health Results:

♦Muscular will not admit pain. Fear of growing old.

♦ Most common ailments are arthritis, rheumatism, high blood pressure

  and circulation problems.

Musculars also don’t talk about emotional pain and so they end up having a heart attack or stroke and they do so rather than changing.

Marriage Partners:

A Muscular needs to marry a Muscular so they can argue and get along.

Musculars call arguing cooing its part of their love play and other contours cannot put up with all the arguing

Chapter 3 -THORACIC

Personality Traits:

♦ When positive is very smooth and tactful.

♦When negative can be arrogant and conceited.

♦Promotes everything, starts everything but may have difficulty in completing things, afraid to close.

♦Very thin skinned (easily hurt). Do not embarrass them publicly -- although they laugh it off, comfortable communications will be difficult in the future.

♦Although “variety is the spice of life” the Thoracic has difficulty remembering, that “monotony brings home the groceries”.

♦ Optimistic and willing to take risk. Get bored easily.

The Thoracic can sell all day and dance all night; when a Thoracic is negative, he will be smooth and more like a con artist and when he is in his element, he is a great promoter, but does not bring home the sale because he does not close the deal.

Thoracics make long lists of things to do but never get it done; they get distracted and are poor organisers. Thoracics are nice, not bad to be with, and when they are home there mind is everywhere else; they are super creative idea people and very impatient; they can be very tactful and sensitive; they can smooth things over and be empathetic which in many situation will appear to be non-involved; the female can wrap others around her finger so to speak.

Thoracics take their mobiles to bed with them but commitments are difficult to get and they will usually be 10 to 15 minutes early for meetings to make sure they don’t miss anything.

Physical Needs:

♦ VARIETY! The Thoracic is a clothes horse -- large wardrobe of very trendy styles. Wears clothes well. Style is very important.

♦ Impeccably dressed, clear co-ordinated right down to their underwear. Enjoys a variety in activities. 

♦ Home will be furnished with either the latest design or antiques, and continually re-arrange furniture. 

♦ Love to own toys -- cars are of the latest design. They usually drive cars that have “four or five on the floor”.

Thoracics often lean toward one or the other extreme, so you may find very quite elaborate tastes in furnishings, more extreme than any of the other contours; and they take their flashlight to bed to be ready to go ay any moment.

They often get up and do their bathroom tasks (sss) too fast and dress without totally drying their body and so they are still wet when they leave the house.

Financial Outlook:

♦Always involved in some promotion or deal. 

♦Money no object, to keep up with the in-crowd. Spends to excess, short on cash and savings. A master with credit cards. 

♦ Loves to be sold -- also easily unsold. Finds it difficult to make decisions. Changes their mind often.

They are always hooked into one deal or another; they operate at PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) with OPM (Other People’s Money). They are not afraid of bankers, they come into a bank look at the manager, if he is Osseous they leave and look for another bank where the manager is Thoracic; then they get the loan they need and credit card, oh yes credit cards… Thoracics have 5 MCs and 7 Visas and several AmEx cards and the like; and on ,many occasions they will use one card to pay off the other. We could call them Joe and Mary Plastic, whereas the Muscular does not know credit cards exist.

They drive a sports car with 5 on the floor and usually are seen in all the IN places; we can see them in the gym with the latest in apparel as if in a fashion competition.

Food Habit:

♦ Eats on the run -- stands up for breakfast because they usually go to bed late and get up late. 

♦ Does not matter what they eat but must be seen at all the “In Spots”. 

♦ Atmosphere important.

Whereas the Abdominal needs the treatment of fine China, the Thoracic is happy to drink from a paper cup as long as it is fast and he can run again. Fast food with atmosphere is their moto.

Health Results:

♦Great fear of getting old, good physical health important. The body beautiful is essential, therefore the plastic surgeon’s friend. 

♦ Health fanatic -- jogging and the latest in sports activities with designer outfit to go with each. 

♦Suffer from nervous fatigue -- needs only few hours to re-charge.

Thoracics are always on the ‘Go’; they keep going and going and going and when its enough they crash for 2 days to recuperate; they are the nuts, berries and bark people; they live with pills, suntan processes, the latest sports; the men are afraid to lose their sex drive and the woman are afraid of wrinkles.

Thoracis love people but need time to get away and be alone.

Marriage Partner:

Least compatible with cerebral or osseous.

Chapter 2 -ABDOMINAL

Personality Traits:

v  Easy going, life of the party.

v  Gregarious but shy, always has time for a joke, avoids all exertion; both mentally and physically.

v  Most honest and trustworthy of all personality types.

v  Burdened by the plight of others. They are highly creative and imaginative;

Physical needs:

♦LUXURY! Dresses extremely well when they have money -- very sloppy or poorly dressed when they don’t have money.

♦ Luxurious, no maintenance home.

♦ Will not fix anything -- including cars.

♦ Large, plush furnishings.

♦ Will drive a Cadillac, or Lincoln Continental; large luxury car

♦ Loves to be seen and acknowledged.

When an Abdominal comes into your shop, you better pay attention to him and help him make a decision with elegance. An Abdominal tends to shy away from decisions or put off a decision as long as he can. Their word is their bond and they will dress extremely well even if they cannot afford it. They are told to wear clothes that make them look thin, like stripes, but they end up wearing clothes that are loud and make a statement, like pink, lavender or polka dots and checks.

If their car, which is more likely to be a big boat on the road, breaks down, an Abdominal will drop the keys on the desk of the repair shop and take a grander car to continue on. An Abdominal’s lawn will look like a green cement lawn – in other words, the perfect look that everyone talks about.

Financial Outlook:

Above average income. Create and attract money opportunities with and through other personality types.Has a tendency to overspend.

An Abdominal needs someone to manage money for them, as they will spend more time creating more money and cannot be bothered with small-minded accounting matters. 

Food Habits:

♦Loves (exists) to dine (Patronises only the very best restaurants).

♦Enjoys rich highly seasoned food.

♦Loves to cook.

♦Always ready to eat.

What they will cook is unique creations, no meals… they will eat rich and spicy foods and end up with health problems as referred to below –they love to shop and when sitting down for dinner, they very deliberately spend time on ordering and re-creating the restaurant’s or chef’s menu s earlier mentioned. Then when the food arrives, they sit down and consider the dining experience.

Health Results:

♦Indigestion.

♦Does not like pain, dentist, needles or knives.

♦Stomach, liver and kidney problems.

♦High blood pressure.

This high blood pressure is off course the result of all their “dining experiences” during which they do not pay attention to what they eat and that is why they get sick. 

Marriage Partner:

v  Capable of getting along with most types.

v  Least congenial with Cerebral or another Abdominal.

Abdominals if married with a Cerebral will end up being too sympathetic; and if with another Abdominal, they will try to out-power each other. In a later chapter we will discuss the various mixes of the five contours, where we will learn that a Muscular is often the underlying contour covered up by the Abdominal contour; and when an Abdominal marries a Muscular covered over with an Abdominal, and the Muscular tries to exercise power, the Abdominal will power up and remain in control.

How People Shape Up…

There is no chance for a good first impression. You will do much better with a more accurate, prior knowledge about people on first meetings and continuing relations. A proven method for more accomplishment with… Non-Verbal Communication

Learn to recognize on sight..

the general characteristics, tendencies

and thought processes of people and

to quickly use the ability to your best advantage.

Although if any person was to learn and subsequently abuse this knowledge and take advantage of others because of having an unfair advantage by any information gained he or she may be looking at some relentless karma coming back. Anyway, let us now get into the most pure form each of the five contours that make up humans in every culture and race; as this science crosses all borders and races.

PREFACE : My own experience with Humans.

My life – your life ?! I think most peoples’ lives could be compared more to a ‘Rollercoaster’ than a ‘Merry-Go-Round’ – and should that give us some comfort or make us unhappy ??

It is after all how we respond to what IS, that makes the difference between happiness and sadness ?  Between success and failure ??

BUT THEN again what controls our responses – DO WE REALLY HAVE ANY CONTROL AT ALL ?? 

Most of us like to believe that we can control with the power of our mind the very outcome we desire, and then we find ourselves up against insurmountable odds and challenges that seem impossible to master and those are the ‘Rollercoaster moments that make us divide into at least two categories of individuals: (1) those who give up and let the winds of destiny carry us somewhere; and (2) those who reach deep within the self and find some strength from somewhere and press onward and upward.

One of my teachers taught me that I must have a compelling reason to find more strength, and certainly when thinking of my family, specifically my children, I seemed to find new energy, new strength to keep going, as many other also do.

And some of these issues we will discuss in another book, but here today I want to concentrate on the inneraction between you and someone else; is there a way to identify others and know more about them before something bad happens?

I remember many moments of my life where I got close to someone and then ended up deceived or cheated because of some misunderstanding or miscommunication. Then there are those situations when there was no clarity at all on why a relationship ended up badly – and many times its because there was not clear roadmap to understand the other person from their point of view.

‘Oh, not that again!’ we reply in agony because again something happened that happened so many times before; or ‘What happened?’; or we blame the other person for the outcome.

Having been beaten myself up countless times with seemingly no solution, one beautiful day I learned about ‘Habitudes’; it was a seminar about the Habits and Attitudes of Mankind and how they are shaped. The space from 0 to 6 years of age where we soak up information like a dry sponge, followed by the 7 to 12 year old period where we begin to reach out and say things like ‘I want to say something.’ ‘I have something to contribute.’ And our parents come back to tell us that we don’t know anything yet and as long as we live in their house we must do things their way; this period is followed by the 13 to 21/24 year old time period where we feel that we know better than our parents and they are not so smart anyhow…?! I will be writing about this in another book altogether, just enroll in our online circle of friends and you will hear about it there.

How the Contours of someone’s form (body) can tell you about them?

There is a scientific pattern that clearly identifies how Humans grow up and what creates the patterns in their lives. When first being introduced to this science, it was rather revealing about myself and others; I have taken the study of Contourology very serious and began practicing it everywhere I went; I sat in malls observing people walking and would ask some of them for permission to read them and tell me how off I was from reality; this lead to analysis and more depth of understanding into the depths of others and through this process I began to learn and eventually master the science of people reading through Contourology.

It became an interesting topic of conversation at parties and meetings and I began teaching it in small settings and get together; the accuracy went from 30% to 50% and is now hovering at around 95%; eventually I began realizing the learning process of Contourology also deepened my understanding of the human; changes in human tendencies became more apparent and readable; like when a man or woman was moving out of one contour into another; and thus into other tendencies than they had before.

I also began to sense vibratorily what was going on inside the individual who sought counseling or emotional clearing from me; and this work became the most rewarding work of my entire training and speaking career. Today Contourology is helping me to assist people from all walks of life and even recognise emotions on a deep enough level to create an environment where physical recovery from illnesses becomes more possible. Particularly in countries where people are economically challenged and therefore have no time to do any kind of soul-searching activity and therefore are not in touch with the traumatic realities under the surface of their lives; and without searching of one’s soul, mind and heart, there can be grave suffering with no prospect of healing or recovery. This is an environment where age 0 to 6 programming takes over and most actions and activities are controlled by the 0 to 6 installed programs which leads to most people eventually becoming like mom and dad with often the same results in their lives.

Contourology cuts right through all the pretences and fakeries that people put up in front of themselves in order to try and hide the truth from others. Contourology gets straight to the point and it is based on science not feeling nature or some special abilities possessed by some rare people – anyone can learn it and practice it with phenomenal accuracy and with this knowledge cut across traditional barriers and popular beliefs that are not based of fact.

Even if a person is not honest about their true feelings and opinions, Contourology allows you to see more deeply and clearly into the heart and soul of another and the practice of Contourology gives anyone an edge in virtually every situation – sales, negotiations, deal-making, and more – even choosing a mate can be easier with the practice of Contourology. A Contourology practitioner can do more with less; an irreplaceable skill-set to lead you to more success and happiness in your life.

In many cases, the knowledge of Contourology can also help you to understand yourself better and therefore plan your life more effectively rather than bouncing around like a rubber ball with outcomes that lead to devastating scenarios and constant relationship frictions.

The most strenuous and long journey in this life is the journey from the head to the heart and to learn to balance the two; Contourology gives the practitioner the abilities necessary to balance mind and heart and combat belief systems that do not produce desirable results.

I am today more thankful than ever for Leland Val van de Wall’s mission and purpose of teaching the truth about life and the heritage of all our programming; he was perhaps the greatest of my mentors to bring me to the point of truly raising people to heights otherwise unattainable for them.
